8. Young men, take heed of Unfaithfulness. You that are Apprentices, or Servants, take he•d of unfaithfulness to your Masters, that you do not wrong and defraud them in the least, remembering that dreadful threatening, that God will be avenged upon all defrauders, 1 Thes. 4. 6. They may not know your fraud and deceit, but God is privy to it, and the vengeance will be fearful which one day he will recompense unto you for this sin. Read the duty of servants in this regard, Tit. 2. 10. where they are warned against purloining, and exhorted to show all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Be faithful to your Masters as to their estates, their money and goods; be careful as if they were your own; do not wrong them, or any else whilst young; remembering that you must make restitution, as ever you hope for salvation, if you be able to do it; and be faithful to them as to their counsels; do not blaze abroad their secrets; do not make known their infirmities; serve them with all uprightness and fidelity, as if you were to serve Christ himself for indeed he will count it so, and hath promised a reward to faithful servants, beyond what their Masters can give, Eph. 6. 8. Col. 3. 24.
