V. The SERVANTS of God, the Servants of the Lord, are the Priests, the Prophets, those that make Profession of a particular Piety. The Name of the Man of God, and the Servant of God, is often given to Moses by way of Eminence; and St. Paul often takes the same Character. He gives very excellent Rules of Morality to Christian Slaves. See 1 Cor. vii. 21, 22; &c. Ephes. vi. 5, 6, 7. Colos. iii. 22. 2 Tim. ii. 9.
