joab_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o kill_v absalon_n so_o god_n have_v bind_v master_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o oppress_v their_o servant_n shall_v god_n respect_v thou_o more_o than_o thou_o be_v thou_o make_v fresh_a to_o thy_o labour_n by_o a_o little_a rest_n &_o be_v not_o thy_o servant_n make_v strong_a by_o rest_n to_o labour_n for_o thou_o 9_o how_o many_o beast_n and_o sheep_n do_v laban_n lose_v only_o for_o hardly_o entreat_v of_o a_o good_a servant_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o lose_v but_o not_o to_o thrive_v he_o which_o count_v his_o servant_n a_o slave_n be_v in_o a_o error_n for_o there_o be_v difference_n between_o believe_v servant_n and_o infidel_n servant_n the_o infidel_n be_v make_v slave_n to_o the_o jew_n because_o god_n hate_v they_o and_o will_v humble_v they_o but_o their_o brethren_n do_v serve_v they_o like_o helper_n which_o shall_v be_v train_v by_o they_o it_o be_v not_o a_o base_a nor_o vile_a thing_n to_o be_v call_v a_o servant_n 1._o for_o our_o lord_n be_v call_v a_o servant_n 18_o which_o teach_v christian_n to_o use_v their_o servant_n well_o for_o christ_n sake_n see_v they_o be_v servant_n too_o and_o have_v one_o master_n christ_n as_o david_n speak_v of_o man_n say_v 6._o thou_o have_v make_v he_o a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o servant_n that_o god_n have_v make_v they_o a_o little_a low_o than_o child_n not_o child_n but_o the_o next_o to_o child_n as_o one_o will_v say_v inferior_a child_n or_o son_n in_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o householder_n be_v call_v pater_fw-la familias_fw-la which_o signify_v a_o father_n of_o his_o family_n because_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n over_o his_o servant_n as_o if_o they_o be_v his_o child_n and_o not_o use_v they_o only_o for_o their_o labour_n like_o beast_n beside_o the_o name_n of_o a_o servant_n do_v not_o signify_v suffer_v but_o do_v therefore_o master_n must_v not_o exercise_v their_o hand_n upon_o they_o but_o set_v their_o hand_n to_o work_v 13_o and_o yet_o as_o god_n lay_v no_o more_o upon_o his_o servant_n then_o he_o make_v they_o able_a to_o bear_v so_o man_n shall_v lay_v no_o more_o upon_o their_o servant_n then_o they_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v 10._o for_o a_o good_a man_n say_v solomon_n will_v be_v merciful_a to_o his_o beast_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v be_v more_o merciful_a to_o his_o brother_n that_o man_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v serve_v which_o can_v afford_v that_o his_o servant_n shall_v serve_v god_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o give_v unto_o god_n that_o which_o be_v god_n and_o then_o thou_o may_v take_v that_o which_o be_v thou_o he_o that_o care_v not_o for_o his_o family_n say_v paul_n be_v worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n 8._o because_o infidel_n care_v for_o their_o family_n but_o as_o agur_n pray_v 8._o give_v i_o not_o too_o much_o nor_o too_o little_a but_o feed_v i_o with_o food_n convenient_a so_o their_o care_n shall_v not_o be_v too_o much_o nor_o too_o little_a but_o convenient_a or_o else_o they_o be_v worse_o than_o infidel_n to_o because_o covetousness_n be_v call_v idolatry_n 5._o which_o be_v worse_o than_o infidelity_n for_o it_o be_v less_o rebellion_n not_o to_o honour_v the_o king_n then_o to_o set_v up_o another_o king_n against_o he_o as_o the_o idolatrous_a do_v against_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n next_o unto_o servant_n instruction_n and_o labour_n must_v be_v consider_v their_o correction_n as_o paul_n say_v 4._o father_n provoke_v not_o your_o child_n to_o wrath_n so_o may_v i_o say_v master_n provoke_v not_o your_o servant_n to_o wrath_n that_o be_v use_v such_o reproof_n and_o such_o correction_n that_o you_o do_v not_o provoke_v they_o but_o move_v they_o that_o you_o do_v not_o exasperate_v they_o but_o win_v they_o for_o revile_v word_n and_o unreasonable_a fierceness_n do_v more_o hurt_v then_o good_a and_o therefore_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v charge_v the_o master_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o inflict_v above_o forty_o stripe_n upon_o his_o servant_n 2._o lest_o he_o shall_v seem_v despise_v in_o his_o eye_n for_o while_o a_o child_n or_o scholar_n or_o servant_n do_v think_v that_o he_o be_v reprove_v for_o love_n or_o beat_v with_o reason_n it_o make_v he_o think_v of_o his_o fault_n and_o be_v ashamed_a but_o when_o he_o see_v that_o he_o be_v rebuke_v with_o curse_n &_o beat_v with_o staff_n as_o though_o they_o be_v hate_v like_o a_o dog_n his_o heart_n be_v harden_v against_o the_o man_n which_o correct_v he_o and_o the_o fault_n for_o the_o which_o he_o be_v correct_v and_o after_o he_o become_v desperate_a like_o a_o horse_n which_o turn_v upon_o the_o striker_n and_o therefore_o think_v that_o god_n even_o then_o chide_v you_o whensoever_o you_o chide_v in_o such_o rage_n for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o fault_n yet_o some_o thing_n must_v be_v wink_v at_o and_o some_o thing_n must_v be_v forgive_v and_o some_o punish_v with_o a_o look_n for_o he_o which_o take_v the_o forfeit_n of_o every_o offence_n shall_v never_o be_v in_o any_o rest_n but_o vex_v himself_o more_o than_o his_o servant_n further_o i_o have_v hear_v experience_n say_v maid_n that_o in_o these_o punishment_n it_o be_v most_o meet_a and_o acceptable_a to_o the_o offender_n that_o the_o man_n shall_v correct_v his_o man_n and_o the_o woman_n her_o maid_n for_o a_o man_n nature_n scorn_v to_o be_v beat_v of_o a_o woman_n and_o a_o maid_n nature_n be_v corrupt_v with_o the_o stripe_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o we_o read_v that_o abraham_n will_v not_o meddle_v with_o his_o maid_n but_o commit_v she_o to_o his_o wife_n and_o say_v 6._o do_v with_o she_o as_o it_o please_v thou_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o belong_v not_o to_o i_o but_o to_o thou_o last_o we_o put_v the_o duty_n towards_o child_n child_n because_o they_o come_v last_o to_o their_o hand_n in_o latin_a child_n be_v call_v pignora_fw-la that_o be_v pledge_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v a_o pledge_n of_o the_o husband_n love_n to_o the_o wife_n and_o a_o pledge_n of_o the_o wife_n love_n towards_o the_o husband_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o do_v so_o knit_v love_n between_o the_o man_n and_o the_o wife_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o womb_n therefore_o when_o leah_n begin_v to_o conceive_v she_o say_v now_o my_o husband_n will_v love_v i_o 31._o as_o though_o the_o husband_n do_v love_n for_o child_n if_o a_o woman_n have_v many_o defect_n as_o leah_n have_v yet_o this_o be_v the_o mend_n which_o she_o make_v her_o husband_n to_o bring_v he_o

little_a mediator_n and_o with_o many_o pretty_a sport_n make_v truce_n when_o other_o dare_v not_o speak_v to_o they_o therefore_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o these_o little_a one_o may_v challenge_v of_o their_o parent_n that_o stand_v they_o in_o stead_n of_o lawyer_n before_o we_o teach_v parent_n to_o love_v their_o child_n they_o have_v need_n be_v teach_v not_o to_o love_v they_o too_o much_o for_o david_n darling_n be_v david_n traitor_n and_o this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o god_n when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o set_v any_o thing_n in_o god_n room_n and_o love_v it_o above_o he_o which_o give_v it_o either_o to_o take_v away_o it_o or_o to_o take_v away_o he_o before_o he_o provoke_v he_o too_o much_o therefore_o if_o parent_n will_v have_v their_o child_n live_v they_o
