Maisters do vnto your seruauntes, that whiche is iuste, and equall, knowyng that ye also haue a maister in heauen.
AGayne ye that are maisters abuse not the authori∣tie gyuen you by mennes lawes, & not for any per∣feccion of nature, to exercise tyranny vpō your ser∣uauntes, but gyue them that is iust and lawfull, departyng with them sufficiently, in suche thynges as are for naturall vses necessarye, & make not for your pleasure to muche of some, intollerablye op∣pressing other, assuring your selues, that ye are ra∣ther with them felowes in seruice, thā maisters, for asmuche as ye haue with them one commen maister in heauen, at whose hāde ye shal fīde like fauer, as your selues haue shewed to your seruātes.
