all_o that_o love_v they_o so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o unfeigned_a affection_n and_o true_a love_n to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n when_o with_o diligence_n we_o observe_v they_o and_o with_o conscience_n we_o declare_v they_o and_o also_o it_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o sincere_a piety_n and_o reverence_n towards_o god_n when_o as_o the_o same_o prophet_n speak_v all_o the_o day_n long_o we_o meditate_v on_o his_o judgement_n and_o speak_v his_o praise_n this_o love_n of_o man_n to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v then_o prove_v and_o approve_a when_o they_o teach_v they_o to_o those_o who_o life_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n and_o also_o it_o be_v the_o plain_a token_n of_o true_a love_n to_o your_o child_n when_o you_o keep_v no_o part_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n from_o they_o which_o you_o know_v yourselves_o for_o the_o lord_n do_n be_v of_o that_o majesty_n and_o authority_n that_o by_o they_o tender_a heart_n be_v nourish_v waver_a heart_n confirm_v and_o

more_o afraid_a of_o you_o when_o they_o shall_v see_v and_o hear_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o your_o mouth_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o your_o hand_n therefore_o my_o belove_a in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n see_v we_o have_v no_o more_o plain_a way_n to_o know_v the_o lord_n then_o by_o his_o work_n then_o have_v we_o also_o no_o sure_a token_n that_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n then_o when_o we_o love_v his_o do_n let_v we_o seek_v they_o in_o the_o cradle_n of_o our_o childhood_n and_o the_o bed_n of_o our_o old_a age_n make_v as_o much_o of_o the_o lord_n judgement_n as_o we_o do_v of_o

another_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v declare_v by_o solomon_n eccles_n 3._o 14._o that_o what_o god_n do_v it_o stand_v for_o ever_o that_o man_n may_v fear_v 2_o before_o he_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v affect_v not_o as_o the_o ground_n be_v plough_v which_o serve_v one_o for_o one_o season_n but_o as_o the_o earth_n be_v establish_v which_o stand_v for_o ever_o the_o lord_n in_o every_o age_n accomplish_v many_o wonderful_a thing_n and_o different_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o that_o man_n may_v fear_v he_o for_o his_o judgement_n and_o honour_v he_o for_o his_o power_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o willing_a at_o all_o time_n to_o make_v trial_n and_o show_n of_o his_o omnipotency_n he_o will_v we_o to_o remember_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v unless_o we_o will_v have_v he_o once_o again_o open_a the_o fountain_n of_o water_n that_o the_o whole_a world_n may_v be_v destroy_v or_o once_o again_o rain_v fire_n and_o brimstone_n from_o heaven_n to_o confound_v we_o as_o he_o do_v the_o sodomite_n or_o once_o again_o bring_v a_o universal_a darkness_n over_o our_o land_n as_o he_o do_v over_o the_o land_n of_o judea_n or_o else_o once_o again_o suffer_v our_o father_n to_o be_v burn_v our_o good_n to_o be_v ravened_a our_o wife_n to_o be_v shame_v and_o ourselves_o to_o be_v murder_v for_o his_o sake_n as_o some_o have_v be_v before_o us._n therefore_o by_o how_o much_o more_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o our_o heart_n to_o consider_v those_o thing_n then_o for_o our_o eye_n to_o behold_v they_o so_o much_o more_o careful_a let_v we_o be_v to_o instruct_v other_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n lest_o we_o ourselves_o &_o our_o posterity_n feel_v in_o full_a measure_n that_o heavy_a hand_n of_o his_o wrath_n &_o then_o oh_o then_o
which_o they_o ought_v to_o consecrat_v to_o the_o lord_n into_o the_o education_n of_o most_o blasphemous_a and_o abominable_a atheist_n be_v not_o these_o as_o much_o to_o be_v complain_v upon_o

what_o be_v you_o inferior_a to_o they_o that_o sacrifice_v they_o to_o devil_n o_o unhappy_a young_a man_n which_o destroy_v your_o soul_n for_o the_o service_n of_o wicked_a man_n why_o do_v you_o

they_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v these_o first_o because_o 1._o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o make_v marriage_n with_o infidel_n heathen_n papist_n or_o atheist_n deut._n 7._o 3._o and_o if_o in_o a_o equal_a band_n we_o may_v not_o adventure_v our_o son_n or_o our_o daughter_n much_o more_o may_v we_o not_o give_v they_o over_o in_o a_o unequal_a if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o give_v they_o in_o marriage_n then_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o sell_v or_o give_v they_o to_o slavery_n or_o servitude_n the_o worse_a part_n be_v apt_a to_o overcome_v the_o better_a for_o if_o a_o infidel_n man_n do_v take_v a_o believe_a woman_n or_o a_o infidel_n woman_n a_o believe_a husband_n a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o the_o infidel_n will_v persuade_v the_o believer_n as_o wise_a king_n solomon_n who_o be_v persuade_v to_o idolatry_n by_o his_o wife_n and_o then_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o will_v those_o that_o be_v wicked_a master_n and_o governor_n compel_v and_o persuade_v their_o poor_a despise_a servant_n and_o captive_n hireling_n and_o apprentice_n unto_o whatsoever_o iniquity_n come_v in_o their_o brain_n but_o peradventure_o some_o will_v say_v that_o when_o we_o be_v overcharge_v with_o poor_a people_n we_o be_v glad_a if_o we_o find_v any_o that_o will_v ease_v we_o of_o our_o cost_n and_o we_o be_v better_o suffer_v our_o poor_a man_n child_n to_o serve_v carnal_a man_n and_o papist_n and_o atheist_n then_o to_o keep_v they_o in_o idleness_n or_o let_v they_o famish_v to_o who_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n have_v not_o so_o deal_v with_o any_o in_o england_n for_o there_o be_v mean_n sufficient_a to_o bring_v they_o up_o with_o christian_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o famish_v if_o man_n will_v but_o strain_v their_o

unthriftie_a child_n shall_v consume_v all_o in_o leudnes_n which_o they_o have_v get_v in_o misery_n then_o that_o any_o portion_n shall_v go_v forth_o of_o their_o coffer_n to_o maintain_v poor_a man_n child_n and_o so_o to_o put_v the_o less_o in_o their_o inventory_n another_o reason_n to_o confirm_v this_o doctrine_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n nor_o 2_o communion_n betwixt_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o belial_n 2._o cor._n 6._o 15._o and_o therefore_o to_o send_v or_o give_v our_o child_n unto_o pagan_n atheist_n and_o carnal_a godless_a man_n to_o be_v by_o they_o instruct_v be_v to_o join_v light_n with_o darkness_n heaven_n with_o hell_n saint_n with_o devil_n and_o god_n with_o beliall_n oh_o what_o a_o confusion_n be_v there_o now_o in_o the_o world_n for_o see_v god_n do_v yet_o suffer_v a_o few_o papist_n among_o we_o as_o he_o suffer_v philistines_n among_o the_o israelite_n to_o try_v they_o and_o provoke_v they_o now_o happy_a be_v they_o that_o can_v be_v in_o league_n with_o they_o for_o they_o have_v good_a cheer_n fat_a beef_n many_o great_a manor_n goodly_a rich_a farm_n &_o they_o be_v able_a to_o pleasure_v they_o but_o such_o pleasure_n will_v cost_v more_o than_o a_o lawyer_n or_o a_o courtier_n friendship_n &_o although_o thou_o shall_v converse_v with_o they_o without_o all_o approve_v of_o their_o superstition_n yet_o thou_o ought_v not_o at_o all_o for_o god_n have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o they_o the_o use_n which_o arise_v from_o this_o doctrine_n 1_o be_v these_o first_o that_o by_o the_o former_a

that_o believe_v in_o he_o it_o be_v better_o a_o millstone_n be_v hang_v about_o his_o neck_n &_o he_o cast_v into_o the_o sea_n but_o of_o all_o offence_n there_o be_v none_o so_o great_a as_o to_o
