1 For the choice: the duty is, that masters be careful to choose such servants as be good: such was the care of David, Psalm. 101.6. And if this care be in masters, it shows plainly that they have a care to the good both of their family, and of Church and Commonwealth; whereof the family is the seminary. 2 This will be a means, that masters shall receive more good from their servants: as also do more good unto them. 3 It shows, that masters have as great a care to have their servants about tem good, as to hue any thing else good whatsoever. Directions for the choice of good servants are these.
