1Another part of his good behaviour, is care of his Camels, to which he looks to give water and provender in due time. So should a good servant, and every good man in his travels, have a due care of his beasts, and look that they have things fit for them. Yea first should he look to them unless necessity compel otherwise, and then to himself, not like to them that tie their horses to the rack-staves, and fill themselves with drink or victuals.2

- 26 Was diligent and made hast about his business.6 Was diligent and made hast about his businesse.
Then his last good deed is, he makes hast about his business, to tell it and set it a foot, for he would not eat till he had done his errand, and then he effects his business fully, for he rose up betimes in the morning and would not stay one day, but with all speed returns to let his Master see his good success. O that you servants would all be such servants,1 faithful, diligent in your Masters affairs, religious, devout, prayerful, thankful on all occasions, and careful of the beasts and other goods committed to your charge, and return home when your business is dispatched.
