43. They shall be under the Government of a Task-master, who shall appoint them to be Porters or Laborers, to do any work that any Freeman wants to be done.
44. They shall do all kind of labour without exception, but their constant
work shall be Carriers or Carters, to carry Corn, or other provision, from Store-house to Store-house, from Country to Cities, and from thence to Countries, &c.
45. If any of these refuse to do such work, the Task-master shall see them whipt, and shall feed them with coarse dyet: And what hardship is this? For Freemen work the easiest work, and these shall work the hardest work: And to what end is this, but to kill their Pride and Unreasonableness, that they may become useful men in the Commonwealth?

48. He who hath lost his Freedom shall be a common servant to any Free∣man, who comes to the Task-masters, and requires one to do any work for him; always provided, that after one Freeman hath by the consent of the Task-masters appointed him his work, another Freeman shall not call him thence till that work be done.
49. If any of these Offenders revile the Laws by words, they shall be soundly whipt, and fed with coarse dyet; if they raise weapons against the Laws, they shall dye as Traytors.
