A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hoio Christians may exercise themselves to godliness, in the relation of masters, luith a good loish about the duty of a master. The third and last relation in a family, is that of master and servants ;the other two relations had a being in mans estate of innocency, this was brought in by mans apostasy.l Civil subjection to man came in by our sinful defection from God. VV elost our liberty by casting off God sservice. The word servant is thought to be a derived a serva7ido, because those who were taken in battle, and might have been slain, were saved, 2K ings v. 2. As servitude came in with a curse, (the first time the word servant sounded in the world, was when Noah cursed his son Ham, Gen. ix. 25,) so sovereignty is promised as a blessing. Gen. xxvii. 29, andxxv. 23. There are usually reckoned three causes, or rather occasions, of service. 31. Victory ;when men are conquered in war: the victor often spared their lives, but took away their liberty. 2. Necessity ;when men are sold for debt. It was usual for the debtor to become servant to the creditor amongst the Romans, by the law of the twelve tables. The French were wont also to sell themselves to noblemen for debt. And the Jews were not ignorant of this practice, Lev. xxv. 39 ;E xod. xxi. 7; 2K ings iv. 1, though Chrysost., Horn. 29 in Gen. Servum hominem homini aut iniquitas aut adversitas erit. A kq .Q uest. Sup. Gen., lib. i. 15. 3B asil. De Spirit., cap. 20. Gel., lib. xx. cap. 1. Caesar, vi. De Bell. Gal.
