219. Also in each house there is a like government in least form. In every house there is a master and there are servants. The master loves the servants and the servants love the master, consequently they serve each other from love. The master teaches how they ought to live and says what is to be done. The servants obey and perform their duties. To perform use is the delight of the life of them all. Hence it is evident that the Lord's kingdom is a kingdom of uses.
