Hitherto concerning the holinesse of wedlock: now touching the disposing of houshold affaires or matters.
The disposing of houshold affaires, con∣sisteth in the duty both of maisters, and also of seruants.
* 1.1The dutie of maisters is, first, moderatelie to vse their authority ouer their seruāts Eph. 6.9
And that is done two wayes: first, if the maisters do not grieue their seruants with o∣ouermuch labour, and do alwaies remember that they are not asses but men: secondly, if they do quietly gouerne them, and also quiet∣ly chide them, when they haue neglected their dutie, least they be prouoked with ouer hard words, and that they remember, that they al∣so haue a Lord in heauen, with whom there is no respect of persons. Eph. 6.9.
2 Bountifully to reward the labour of their seruants, least being compelled by necessitie they should steale.

* 1.2The duty of seruants is, first from their hearts to performe the labours that their mai∣sters commaund them. Ephes. 6.5.6.
2 To be faithfull in things commited to them by their maisters, that so they may keepe their goods.
3 To obserue the vprightnesse of maners, that the wife, the sonnes and daughters, or o∣ther fellow seruants, be not corrupted by their bad counsels.
