WILLIAM
PENN
"Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims" Servant 202. Indulge not unseemly Things in thy Master's Children, nor refuse them what is fitting: For one is the highest Unfaithfulness, and the other, Indiscretion as well as Disrespect. 203. Do thine own Work honestly and chearfully: And when that is done, help thy Fellow; that so another time he may help thee. 204. If thou wilt be a Good Servant, thou must be True; and thou canst not be True if thou Defraud'st thy Master. 205. A Master may be Defrauded many ways by a servant: As in Time, Care, Pains, Money, Trust. 206. But, a True Servant is the Contrary: He's Diligent, Careful, Trusty. He Tells no Tales, Reveals no Secrets, Refuses no Pains: Not to be Tempted by Gain, nor aw'd by Fear, to Unfaithfulness. 207. Such a Servant,
serves God in serving his Master; and has double Wages for his Work,
to wit, Here and Hereafter.
