SERVANTS<\/h2>\n

The business of servants is to wait upon, minister to, support and defend their masters; but there are three cases, as Dr. Stennett observes, wherein a servant may be justified in refusing obedience: <\/p>\n

1. When the master’s commands are contrary to the will of God.<\/p>\n

2. When they are required to do what is not in their power.<\/p>\n

3. When such service is demanded as falls not within the compass of the servant’s agreement. <\/p>\n

The obligations servants are under to universal obedience, are from these considerations: <\/p>\n

1. That it is fit and right.<\/p>\n

2. That it is the expressed command of God.<\/p>\n

3. That it is for the interest both of body and soul.<\/p>\n

4. That it is a credit to our holy religion. <\/p>\n

The manner in which this service is to be performed is, <\/p>\n

1. With humility, Pro 30:21-22; Ecc 10:7.<\/p>\n

2. Fidelity, Tit 2:10; Mat 24:45.<\/p>\n

3. Diligence, Pro 10:4; Pro 21:5; 1Th 4:11.<\/p>\n

4. Cheerfulness. Stennett’s Domestic Duties, ser. 7; Fleetwood’s Relative Duties, ser. 14, 15; Paley’s Moral Philosophy, vol. 1: chap. 11.<\/p>\n
