become_v first_o husband_n and_o wife_n than_o parent_n to_o child_n and_o with_o that_o master_n of_o servant_n which_o be_v all_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o family_n the_o principal_a care_n must_v

which_o be_v by_o know_v and_o teach_v they_o under_o his_o charge_n the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o those_o duty_n belong_v to_o the_o several_a relation_n of_o a_o family_n as_o afore_o to_o which_o purpose_n i_o will_v commend_v if_o they_o have_v not_o better_a the_o read_n and_o practise_v in_o all_o good_a conscience_n and_o sincerity_n of_o the_o sermon_n follow_v as_o far_o as_o it_o

the_o rest_n of_o the_o family_n their_o correlate_n wife_n child_n servant_n their_o particular_a duty_n according_a to_o their_o relation_n respective_o but_o when_o their_o child_n or_o seroant_n

they_o with_o and_o make_v they_o understand_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o new_a relation_n before_o they_o come_v to_o practise_v they_o to_o which_o end_n the_o little_a short_a catechisme'_v fit_v for_o each_o relation_n will_v much_o conduce_v if_o they_o be_v teach_v &_o explain_v wise_o by_o the_o chieife_n housholder_n and_o impress_v on_o they_o by_o his_o own_o example_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o duty_n in_o all_o his_o own_o relation_n the_o benefit_n of_o teach_v and_o whet_v on_o of_o these_o prineiple_n conscientious_o will_v be_v exceed_o great_a for_o 1._o by_o

present_a neglect_n of_o their_o duty_n as_o husband_n parent_n master_n which_o they_o must_v perform_v as_o they_o expect_v that_o their_o correlate_n shall_v be_v good_a &_o serviceable_a to_o they_o or_o god_n blessing_n upon_o both_o 2_o by_o the_o knowledge_n they_o may_v get_v by_o teach_v other_o they_o may_v not_o only_o learn_v their_o own_o duty_n in_o all_o their_o relation_n but_o also_o be_v able_a to_o call_v upon_o their_o inferior_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n and_o to_o exact_v they_o of_o they_o when_o they_o go_v astray_o 3._o this_o if_o they_o have_v any_o conscience_n or_o care_v to_o please_v god_n may_v serve_v to_o make_v they_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o perform_v their_o own_o duty_n in_o all_o their_o relation_n because_o now_o their_o inferior_n will_v be_v
