But you are to be True in your Works also. ⟨p. 44⟩And here, as you must beware of Betraying the Secrets of your Masters, or injuring the Nests where you lodge, thus you must beware of Impairing their Estates We read of a Servant in Luk. 16. 6,7. Who basely Defrauded his Master, of no less then Twenty, yea, Fifty Per Cent but however the Forecast of such a Servant, was Parabolically once improved in a Discourse of our Lord, yet the Stealing was Damnable and Horrible. Servants, In the Name of the God, who is of Purer Eyes than to behold Evil, or look upon Iniquity, I do Vehemently Warn every one of you, to take heed of Wronging your Masters unto the Value of a Penny as long as you live. Never Give to Others, Never Take to your selves, of your Masters Goods, without their Leave, unto the Value of a Farthing. Mark what I say; By every Act of Dishonesty towards your Masters, you do but Entail Everlasting Disasters upon your own Affairs. Probably your own Affairs will afterwards be so unsuccessful, that you shall see, you have Impoverished your selves a Pound, by every Shilling, whereof you have Rob•d your Masters in such Pranks of Dishonesty Unprosperous Dealers there are, that will never Thrive. Why not? Because they have heretofore Cheated those that Em•loy'd them, and the Lasting and Wasting Vengeance of God will still haunt them for it. Or, […] it should not be so, yet by this Dishonesty you will give Incredible Wounds unto your own ⟨p. 45⟩guilty Souls. You must, if you are able, make some Rest•ution, some Reparation, for the Wrongs you have done, to your Masters, but, if you are not Able to do That, you must however make a most Penitent Confession of the Wrongs: Or, else you must unavoidably perish under the Rebukes of a Righteous, a Jealous, and Unreconciled God, throughout Eternal Ages! Thy Soul never can see Peace until the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, who Restored that which He took not away, have melted thy Heart, so as to make thee Restore as much as thou canst, of what thou hast thus taken away. Do, Die before this be done, and, The Tormentors of the Pit below, will Seize and hold thy Soul, O thou Fraudulent Servant, until thou hast Paid the utmost Farthing; but then, that cannot be until the very Heavens be no more!
