apprehended detected happens to a man who is disposed
to steal , he will steal although he be a stranger
[and not a servant] : if not, he will not steal
although he be a servant.

in fields more favourable than any that
are apt to happen to a servant . Qu - of

from other masters, ex. g: the friends of their masters
no advantage will be gained by this.
