Utopia, by Thomas More
(Auto-generated)

If, by the Mosaical law, though it was rough and severe, as being a yoke laid on an obstinate and servile nation, men were only fined, and not put to death for theft, we cannot imagine, that in this new law of mercy, in which God treats us with the tenderness of a father, He has given us a greater licence to cruelty than He did to the Jews.†
*
but by their stooping to such servile employments they are so far from being despised, that they are so much the more esteemed by the whole nation.†

Definitions:

(1) (servile)
too eager to serve or obey others -- often in a way that seems overly submissive, weak, or lacking self-respect

or:

related to low-status tasks
(2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
You might want to remember this as sounding similar to servant. Both words come from the Latin word for slave (servus).
