Fidelity
191. Avoid all thou canst to be Entrusted: But do thy utmost to discharge the Trust thou undertakest: For Carelessness is Injurious, if not Unjust.
192. The Glory of a Servant is Fidelity; which cannot be without Diligence, as well as Truth.
193. Fidelity has Enfranchised Slaves, and Adopted Servants to be Sons.
194. Reward a good Servant well: And rather quit than Disquiet thy self with an ill one.
