6. In matters of trust and fidelity. Where I place a confidence, and repose a trust, I would not be deceived, I must not deceive another, nor let any man fall that ⟨p. 258⟩leans upon me. If a man trust me with the management of his business, or lodge a secret with me, or put his life into my power, or commit the care of his estate or children to me after his death. These are all ingenuous trusts, and must be discharged with the same faithfulness we expect from others.

7. In matter of duty and obedience; We must give that honour to our Parents, which we would expect from our Children; and pay that reverence to Masters, which we would exact from our Servants; We must rise up before the grey head, and give respect to old Age?
