This Discipline consisteth especially in these three, 1. in making good domestic Laws for children and servants in ordering every thing aright, that concerneth the promoting of Godliness and edification amongst them, and in timing of things rightly so as every duty that is to be done in the family, may be done in the beautiful season of it, 2. In putt •ng forth a paternal or parental and masterly authority in carrying on these ends, commanding or charging as Abraham did, ruling so as children and servants may be kept in subjection; it is very insutable and no ways allowable, that Masters should command in their own business, and o •ly entreat in the things of God. 3. In exacting an accou •t of Obedience and censuring Disobedience; Job and David do reprove their own Wives, by virtue of the Authority of their Headship, David will not suffer a wicked person to abide in his house; that is, when commands and rebukes will not do, he will even extrude and put away.
