before_o their_o child_n shall_v make_v even_o with_o they_o and_o revenge_n and_o quit_v there_o parent_n wrong_n to_o the_o full_a by_o the_o like_a favage_a deal_n with_o they_o a_o second_o duty_n

be_v comprehend_v also_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o superior_a and_o as_o god_n will_v have_v inferior_n to_o give_v honour_n so_o he_o command_v superior_n to_o carry_v themselves_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o they_o may_v deserve_v honour_n and_o do_v bind_v they_o as_o straight_o as_o the_o inferior_n now_o the_o duty_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n be_v either_o in_o their_o tender_a year_n

they_o can_v understand_v it_o nor_o conceive_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o thing_n the_o holy_a ghost_n answer_v be_v it_o that_o for_o the_o time_n he_o can_v understand_v the_o sense_n yet_o teach_v he_o the_o word_n and_o term_n of_o goodness_n and_o though_o while_o he_o continue_v a_o child_n perhaps_o it_o seem_v a_o fruitless_a thing_n yet_o you_o shall_v see_v afterward_o it_o will_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o crop_n of_o this_o seed_n that_o be_v soon_o in_o the_o childhood_n will_v appear_v when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n though_o for_o a_o time_n it_o lay_v hide_v &_o then_o he_o will_v remember_v these_o thing_n &_o that_o to_o good_a use_n which_o it_o seem_v he_o get_v no_o good_a by_o when_o he_o be_v so_o young_a &_o want_v understanding_n therefore_o let_v he_o have_v the_o word_n teach_v he_o when_o he_o be_v able_a to_o hear_v and_o speak_v word_n and_o after_o when_o he_o be_v of_o more_o discretion_n he_o will_v conceive_v &_o remember_v the_o

in_o truth_n common_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n why_o the_o father_n shall_v be_v as_o much_o grieve_v or_o rather_o more_o than_o the_o child_n because_o for_o the_o most_o part_n he_o do_v but_o

therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v a_o blessing_n by_o the_o sabbath_n let_v we_o keep_v it_o cherfullie_o know_v that_o god_n love_v a_o cherfull_a giver_n secondlie_o one_o must_v labour_v to_o
