Chap. p. r. An expofition upon the Book of J o B. Vert. r 5. And ifMailers and Governours ought to carry it mildly mo- deratelyandhonourably toward their fervants, Then let fervants and all inferioursunder Government, remember it is their dutie to carry it humbly and refpedfully towards their Mailers, Supe- riours,and Governours. And thereforewe find the Apoftle Paul in bis Epifiles as $rift in giving charge to fervants to walke or- derly and obey thecommands of their Mailers in all things ac- cording to the will of God , as he is carefull to moderate the rigour ofMaóters in exercifing their power over, and in giving commands to their fervants. And as. he teacheth Mailers to ufe their fervents wel, fo he teacheth fervants to behave themfelves wel towards their Maters. And he urgeth this efpecially upon fervents profefiing Godlines , fell theybring a fcandall upon profeffion ( Tim. 6. i.) Let as manyfervants ao are under the joke, count their swne Maffers worthyofall honour , that tke name of Clod asad hie doftrine be net blaffibetvd. And whereas thófe fer- vants which being beleevers had elfo beleeving Matters, might poffibly by their onenes with them in fpiritual priviledges forget thediilance of their civili relation, and fogrow more bold and familiar with them (becaufe Brethren in the faith) thenbecame fervants in the family; thereforehe adds a fpeciall caveat in that cafe to prevent filch prefumption ( y. a.) which let the reader confult. ThofeFamilyes are happy, peaceable, and profperous, whereMailers knowhow tocommand,and fervants how to obey out ofconfcience and in the feare of God. 447 3aB 37.
