justly by thy Master as thou de∣sirest thy Servant should deal by thee; where thou art com∣manded, be obedient, where not commanded, be provident; let Diligence be thy Credit; let Faithfulness be thy Crown; let thy Master's Credit be thy Care, and let his Welfare be thy Content: Let thine Eye be single, and thine Heart hum∣ble; be sober, that thou may'st be circumspect: He that in So∣briety is not his own man, be∣ing drunk, whose is he? Be neither contentious nor lasci∣vious; the one shews a turbu∣lent Hcart, the other an idle Brain, A good Servant is a great Master.
