(1.) Masters must have a care to provide for their Servants: As they cut them out Work, so they must give them their Meat in due season, Luke 17.7. And the Food should be wholesome and sufficing.

(2.) Masters should encourage their Servants in their Work, by commending them when they do well: Tho a Master is to tell a Servant of his Faults, yet he is not always to beat upon one string, but sometimes take notice of that which is praise-worthy. This makes a Servant more cheerful in his Work, and gains the Master Love from his Servant.

(3.) Masters must not over-burden their Servants, but proportion their Work to their Strength. If you lay too much load on a Servant, he will faint under it. Christianity teacheth Compassion.
