The Master said: 'If he declared [thus] at the beginning of the six[th year] but not at the end, he is not bored, for it is said: I will not go out free; [hence] he must say it when about to depart.' Why choose [to lear this] from 'I will not go out free': deduce it because we require [that he shall say].' I love my master, my wif and my children,' which is absent.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The passage is now assumed to mean: if he declares thus at the beginning of the six years.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
