And therefore the Apostle saith, they must do it,1 as unto God. Examples we have of Abraham's servant, whose faithfulness we see, who being sent to fetch a wife for his masters son, when he came to the2 place fell upon his knees, and prayed, and commended his business to God. Which teacheth that servants3 must not only be faithful, but careful by commending their business unto God: and therefore they are to pray both for strength, and wisdom in their masters business.
And therefore the Apostle saith, they must doe it,1 as vnto God. Examples we haue of Abrahams seruant, whose faithfulnesse we see, who being sent to fetch a wife for his masters sonne, when he came to the2 place fell vpon his knees, and prayed, and commended his businesse to God. Which teacheth that seruants3 must not onely be faithfull, but carefull by commending their businesse vnto God: and therefore they are to pray both for strength, and wisedome in their masters businesse.
