There is a gross kind of theft in men-stealing, not so much used now, as of old, when there were Slaves, of which men made advantage: This may be also in taking or enticing away of another man or woman's servant, to their Masters or Mistress prejudice, which is clear theft, though often practised, and by many, little regarded: As likewise in seducing of Children to a false Religion, to a bad Marriage, to evil Company, to drinking, whoring, robbing, ⟨p. 402⟩&c. to run away from their Parents out of the Country, without a just and necessary cause, &c. this is condemned in the Law, and 1 Tim. 1.10. The 4. sort is single theft, or the wronging of a man in his private and personal estate; as when a mans money, clothes, household-furniture, corn, horses, cows, sheep, merchant-wares, books, working-tools, &c. are stolen, and privily taken from him. And here do come in the general heads of that theft formerly mentioned.
