Q. 12. What are the Duties of Servants to their Masters?
A. 'Tis their Duty, (1.) To be faithful in all things committed to their charge; Tit. 2.10. Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity, &c. (2.) To honour them in all respectful Words and Carriages; 1 Tim. 6.1. Let as many servants as are under the yoke, count their own masters worthy of all honour, &c. (3.) To bear patiently their rebukes; 1 Pet. 2.18, 19. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thank-worthy, if a man for conscience toward God, endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
