to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n so_o as_o they_o either_o by_o some_o good_a token_n may_v see_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o at_o the_o least_o be_v

bring_v they_o up_o well_o and_o offer_v they_o to_o god_n and_o if_o parent_n have_v cause_n to_o be_v grieve_v when_o thus_o travail_v in_o good_a education_n they_o can_v see_v good_a in_o their_o child_n how_o much_o more_o cause_n of_o grief_n may_v they_o have_v when_o they_o have_v use_v no_o labour_n at_o all_o to_o bring_v they_o up_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o many_o will_v be_v grieve_v for_o the_o one_o that_o will_v not_o be_v grieve_v for_o the_o other_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v if_o we_o will_v convey_v god_n blessing_n to_o our_o posterity_n to_o use_v all_o holy_a duty_n thereunto_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o convey_v god_n judgement_n to_o our_o child_n let_v we_o careful_o avoid_v all_o mean_n that_o lead_v
