2. A Pastor should be apt to teach, to reprove, and to exhort: and so should the Master of a Family, 1 Tim. 3. 2. Deut. 6. 7.
3. A Pastor must himself be exemplary in Faith and Holiness: and so also should the Master of a Family, 1 Tim. 3. 2, 3, 4. & 4. 12.
I, saith David, will behave my self in a perfect way; I will walk in (or before) my house in a perfect way, Psal. 101. 2.
4. The Pastor is for getting the Church together, and when they are so come together, then to pray among them, and to preach unto them: this is also commendable in Christian Masters of Families.
