There are three great foundations or bonds of relation on which all family government depends.1 Husbands and Wives, Parents and Children, Masters and Servants. The Lord hath planted in the souls of men, affections suitable to these relations, and to his people he hath given grace to regulate those affections appointed duties to exercise those graces, and seasons to discharge those duties. So that as in the motion of a wheel every spoke takes its turn, and bears a stress, in every manner in the whole round of a Christians conversation like affection, grace, and duty at one season or other comes to be exercised.
