SECT. 5. Of the Duties of Masters to Servants.
The Duty of Masters to their Servants, is either To their Bodies. To their Souls.
THe Duty of Masters to their Servants, is either To their Bodies. To their Souls.
1. The Duty of Masters to the Bodies of their Servants, consists in these particulars; viz. In a due provision of food for them, Prov. 31.15. & 27.27. In a wise care for their clothing, Prov. 31.21. In a well-ordering of their labour, so as they may be able to undergo it: In their ease, rest, and intermission from labour at seasonable times: In paying them sufficient wages, Deut. 24.14, 15. In a careful preserving of their health, and using means for their recovery in case of sickness, Mat. 8.6. and that not of the Servants wages, but of the Masters own charge, otherwise ⟨p. 209⟩they undo not the heavy burden, 1but rather lay burden upon burden.
