3. Duty or employment of a private nature; as the office of a midwife. Exodus 1:16.
4. That which is performed, intended or assigned to be done by a particular thing, or that which any thing is fitted to perform; answering to duty in intelligent beings. We enjoy health when the several organs of the body perform their respective offices.
