Wherein is also expressed, the great care that parents should haue, for the bestowing of their children in mariage: and likewise how children ought to behaue themselues towardes their parents: and how maisters ought to gouerne their seruants, and how seruants ought to be obedient towards their maisters.

not_o their_o child_n in_o such_o awe_n neither_o bring_v they_o up_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v or_o to_o the_o child_n who_o know_v not_o how_o much_o they_o be_v behold_v to_o their_o father_n but_o in_o my_o mind_n i_o conclude_v that_o the_o child_n rather_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o fault_n who_o can_v bring_v any_o action_n against_o his_o father_n though_o he_o do_v he_o never_o so_o great_a wrong_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o will_v i_o begin_v to_o excuse_v the_o father_n who_o some_o will_v think_v to_o be_v in_o fault_n who_o ought_v to_o have_v inform_v he_o in_o his_o duty_n when_o he_o be_v young_a and_o tender_a if_o the_o father_n give_v his_o son_n good_a lesson_n and_o he_o will_v not_o hearken_v unto_o they_o what_o can_v he_o do_v more_o if_o the_o father_n offer_v instruction_n to_o his_o child_n with_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o child_n receyve_v they_o with_o the_o left_a what_o fault_n be_v the_o father_n in_o none_o but_o this_o in_o my_o opinion_n but_o that_o he_o defer_v till_o evening_n to_o give_v he_o those_o instruction_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v give_v he_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n at_o the_o sun_n rise_v i_o mean_v whilst_o he_o be_v young_a even_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o nurse_n not_o consider_v that_o in_o tender_a mind_n as_o it_o be_v in_o war_n a_o man_n may_v make_v what_o impression_n he_o lift_v but_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o excuse_v the_o child_n who_o after_o their_o father_n have_v nourish_v and_o bring_v they_o up_o careful_o under_o the_o learned_a man_n and_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o end_n run_v astray_o live_v lewd_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unworthy_a their_o bring_n up_o i_o matualle_o not_o so_o much_o that_o a_o child_n virtuous_o bring_v up_o sometime_o fall_v out_o naught_o but_o i_o count_v it_o strange_a and_o as_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n that_o both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v both_o honest_a man_n and_o for_o their_o good_a deal_n well_o speak_v of_o by_o all_o man_n it_o shall_v often_o fall_v out_o that_o they_o can_v agree_v together_o in_o one_o house_n but_o live_v in_o continual_a strict_a and_o variance_n and_o agree_v well_o in_o public_a affair_n still_o disagree_v about_o household_n matter_n whereof_o i_o can_v bring_v forth_o many_o example_n but_o this_o i_o must_v say_v that_o the_o son_n in_o duty_n ought_v to_o suffer_v his_o father_n to_o command_v over_o he_o and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o obey_v he_o without_o any_o resistance_n and_o that_o their_o conversation_n may_v frame_v the_o better_a i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o counsel_v the_o father_n how_o he_o ought_v to_o proceed_v in_o his_o fatherly_a jurisdiction_n that_o he_o exceed_v not_o the_o bond_n of_o reason_n and_o give_v not_o his_o son_n cause_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o in_o his_o hart_n and_o to_o think_v himself_o ill_o deal_v withal_o by_o he_o by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o wax_v cold_a in_o the_o love_n and_o reverence_n he_o ought_v to_o bear_v to_o his_o father_n i_o can_v forget_v the_o old_a say_n that_o few_o child_n be_v like_o the_o father_n and_o that_o many_o of_o they_o be_v worse_o and_o those_o that_o be_v better_o be_v very_o rare_a and_o thin_a sow_v therefore_o i_o will_v willing_o search_v out_o the_o cause_n why_o so_o few_o child_n resemble_v the_o father_n and_o answer_v to_o the_o hope_n he_o conceave_v of_o they_o chap._n xiiii_o ¶_o of_o the_o great_a discomfort_n that_o child_n many_o time_n bring_v to_o their_o parent_n through_o their_o mis-deameanor_a towards_o their_o parent_n and_o of_o the_o evil_a success_n that_o oftentimes_o happen_v thereby_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o child_n bring_v small_a or_o no_o comfort_n to_o their_o parent_n if_o nature_n and_o fortune_n be_v not_o well_o temper_v in_o they_o for_o as_o a_o fruitful_a grain_n sow_v in_o a_o soil_n unfit_a for_o it_o bring_v forth_o no_o increase_n so_o a_o child_n that_o be_v natural_o give_v to_o learning_n will_v never_o do_v well_o if_o be_v be_v fetch_v to_o husbandry_n so_o much_o it_o behoove_v the_o father_n to_o find_v out_o in_o his_o childhood_n whereunto_o he_o be_v most_o incline_v therefore_o it_o behoove_v father_n to_o use_v discretion_n in_o this_o point_n that_o be_v to_o find_v out_o the_o natural_a inclination_n of_o their_o child_n the_o which_o be_v best_a do_v in_o their_o infancy_n as_o the_o proverb_n be_v that_o by_o the_o morning_n it_o may_v be_v gather_v how_o all_o the_o day_n will_v prove_v after_o whether_o it_o will_v be_v either_o fair_a or_o foul_a i_o think_v this_o counsel_n most_o necessary_a to_o be_v respect_v by_o the_o father_n who_o force_n their_o child_n to_o enter_v into_o trade_n of_o life_n which_o be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o their_o mind_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o they_o receive_v small_a comfort_n of_o they_o for_o thereof_o many_o time_n ensue_v the_o dishonour_n of_o their_o house_n and_o which_o be_v worse_a great_a offence_n towards_o god_n as_o when_o poor_a boy_n be_v put_v to_o study_v divinity_n who_o even_o from_o their_o mother_n womb_n desire_v the_o war_n those_o father_n that_o set_v their_o child_n to_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o disposition_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v pity_v then_o blame_v for_o that_o happen_v common_o for_o lack_n of_o take_v hade_a but_o those_o which_o thrust_v their_o child_n into_o college_n before_o they_o be_v of_o year_n to_o choose_v or_o refuse_v that_o life_n be_v no_o doubt_n great_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o that_o they_o bring_v their_o child_n too_o it_o either_o through_o fear_n or_o through_o false_a persuasion_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o withstand_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o take_v from_o their_o child_n that_o free_a choice_n which_o god_n of_o his_o divine_a goodness_n have_v promise_v they_o therefore_o if_o the_o father_n be_v careful_a of_o the_o love_n and_o quiet_a of_o his_o house_n let_v he_o be_v also_o careful_a to_o know_v whether_o his_o son_n mind_n be_v give_v either_o to_o learning_n or_o to_o army_n or_o to_o husbandry_n or_o to_o merchandise_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v perceive_v he_o have_v draw_v he_o out_o of_o the_o right_n let_v he_o make_v he_o return_v into_o it_o forthwith_o and_o set_v he_o again_o where_o he_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o let_v he_o assure_v himself_o that_o a_o thing_n ill_o begin_v will_v come_v to_o a_o worse_a end_n see_v we_o be_v to_o search_v why_o child_n oftentimes_o fall_v not_o out_o according_a to_o the_o good_a hope_n of_o their_o parent_n we●_n have_v need_n to_o begin_v at_o the_o milk_n they_o suck_v in_o their_o cradle_n for_o that_o the_o nurse_n milk_n be_v of_o such_o force_n that_o the_o use_v thereof_o make_v the_o child_n take_v after_o she_o then_o after_o the_o mother_n which_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o world_n and_o when_o i_o remember_v the_o custom_n of_o diverse_a woman_n in_o france_n who_o bring_v up_o their_o infant_n only_o with_o the_o milk_n of_o beast_n i_o think_v thereof_o it_o come_v that_o diverse_a of_o they_o be_v so_o sterce_n and_o cruel_a that_o by_o their_o ill_a life_n many_o of_o they_o show_v themselves_o scarce_o to_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o reason_n proper_a to_o man_n i_o be_o of_o mind_n without_o doubt_n that_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o milk_n be_v marvellous_a and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n certain_a that_o if_o a_o lamb_n be_v nourish_v with_o the_o milk_n of_o a_o goat_n or_o a_o kidd_n with_o the_o milk_n of_o a_o yeaw_n the_o kidd_n will_v have_v a_o very_a soft_a hair_n and_o the_o lamb_n a_o very_a rough_a and_o barry_a wool_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v think_v that_o as_o the_o child_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o milk_n take_v after_o the_o complerion_n of_o the_o nurse_n so_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o mind_n fol_z owe_v the_o complerion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o thereof_o also_o it_o come_v that_o the_o daughter_n of_o honest_a woman_n oftentimes_o prove_v altogether_o un-like_a they_o both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n so_o that_o to_o deliver_v child_n from_o their_o mothere_o to_o nurse_n can_v be_v say_v so_o be_v other_o than_o a_o corrupt_a of_o nature_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v make_v mention_n of_o this_o first_o nourishment_n we_o shall_v have_v speak_v of_o it_o when_o we_o discourse_v of_o unfortunate_a marriage_n but_o i_o neither_o speak_v of_o it_o there_o neither_o will_v do_v here_o the_o reason_n i_o forbear_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v for_o that_o woman_n at_o this_o day_n be_v so_o curious_a of_o their_o comeliness_n or_o rather_o of_o their_o vanity_n that_o they_o have_v rather_o to_o
either_o lament_v too_o soon_o or_o repent_v too_o late_o many_o be_v the_o occastion_n that_o make_v marriage_n to_o have_v a_o unhappy_a success_n by_o which_o good_a house_n and_o great_a kindred_n be_v bring_v to_o ruin_n and_o decay_n as_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o marry_a couple_n either_o in_o year_n or_o in_o call_v whereof_o both_o arise_v many_o quarrel_n about_o housekeep_v and_o manner_n of_o life_n therefore_o the_o way_n to_o live_v quiet_o be_v to_o marry_v equal_o in_o all_o respect_n touch_v the_o difference_n in_o year_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v a_o unseemly_a thing_n to_o ssee_n a_o young_a woman_n match_v with_o a_o old_a man_n that_o carri_v a_o countenance_n rather_o to_o be_v her_o father_n then_o her_o husband_n and_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o young_a and_o dainty_a damsel_n get_v as_o willing_o to_o such_o husband_n as_o to_o their_o grave_n for_o they_o be_v sick_a to_o become_v widow_n in_o their_o husband_n life_n time_n and_o to_o spend_v their_o day_n in_o a_o most_o miserable_a case_n for_o how_o modest_a or_o honest_a so_o ever_o they_o be_v yet_o some_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v lewd_a and_o wanton_a only_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o husband_n white_a beard_n consider_v i_o pray_v you_o on_o the_o other_o side_n what_o a_o name_n old_a wrinkle_a and_o toothless_a woman_n get_v in_o take_v husband_n that_o be_v young_a and_o beardless_a boy_n and_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o rage_n of_o these_o old_a woman_n be_v not_o great_a than_o the_o young_a and_o of_o good_a
