The texte.

¶ Exhorte seruauntes to be obedyent vnto their owne masters, and to please them in all thinges, not answerynge againe, neyther to be pyckers, but y^• they shewe all good faith∣fulnes, that they maye doe worshyp to the doctrine of god our saueour in all thinges.

Exhorte seruauntes that they be obediente to their masters and seruiceable in al thinges: leste they maye seame thorowe the profession of y^• christian faithe, to be made worse than they were afore, and so by them, the naughtines of euyll parsons shalbe reproched to y^• gospell. Let them not therfore be full of answers against their maysters and euyll wylled to do their commaundementes, neither must they be pyekers, as the commune sorte of vnthrifty seruauntes be: that as they professe the faythe of Christe, lykewyse they declare them selfes in all seruice to be done to their maysters to be dyligent and true, yea thoughe theyr maisters do but lytle deserue it of them. So that thorowe their honeste behauoure, they commende and set forthe the doctrine of our saueoure god, and that by them mo men maye be drawen to the folowynge therof, whan theyse suche as knowledge themselfes to be christians to be more gentle and amyable then other, in all their conuersacion.
