On Employers

If you don’t pay your men, they pay themselves, or else they shirk their work. PP50

“The Lord’s people should be considerate of those who are in their employment. The recollection of their own bondage should make them tender and kind to those who are in subservience to themselves, and never should a Christian man be ungenerous, illiberal, severe, churlish with his servants, or with any who are dependent upon him.” (1406.190)

“He judges the world by this rule, that men are bound to do that which is right and just to their fellow-men; and it can never be right that a man should work like a slave, be housed worse than a horse, and have food scarcely fit for a dog.” (3059.470)
