Exhort servants See the notes on the passages referred to in the margin. To please them Their masters; well in all things Lawful, or wherein it can be done without sin; not answering again Though blamed unjustly. This honest servants are most apt to do. Not purloining Secretly stealing any part of their masters' goods, not taking or giving any thing without their masters' leave: this, fair-spoken servants are most apt to do. But showing all good fidelity And honesty in every thing, great and small; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour May render it amiable and honourable, even in the eyes of their heathen masters, and of others, when they shall observe its influence on all its possessors, even on those in the lowest stations in life. This is more than St. Paul says of kings. How he raises the lowness of his subject! So may they the lowness of their condition!
