two_o principal_a want_n in_o parent_n which_o great_o hinder_v this_o virtuous_a work_n the_o first_o be_v the_o want_n of_o follow_v &_o continuance_n for_o many_o think_v that_o if_o now_o and_o then_o they_o give_v their_o child_n some_o good_a instruction_n that_o then_o they_o be_v discharge_v before_o god_n &_o that_o they_o have_v perform_v a_o very_a great_a duty_n but_o alas_o this_o be_v but_o little_a worth_n every_o trade_n man_n can_v easy_o tell_v we_o that_o no_o science_n will_v go_v forward_o well_o except_o it_o be_v hardly_o follow_v and_o again_o the_o mind_n of_o child_n be_v like_o the_o soft_a wax_n the_o which_o as_o it_o will_v soon_o take_v the_o print_n so_o it_o will_v be_v soon_o beat_v out_o again_o and_o therefore_o have_v need_n often_o to_o be_v imprint_v the_o second_o principal_a want_n be_v the_o want_n of_o government_n as_o when_o parent_n teach_v their_o child_n good_a thing_n but_o do_v not_o look_v diligent_o after_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o nor_o see_v how_o they_o take_v root_n in_o they_o this_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a kind_n of_o teach_v &_o therefore_o lose_v his_o fruit_n but_o they_o do_v worst_a of_o all_o who_o after_o they_o have_v teach_v well_o suffer_v the_o clean_a contrary_n for_o these_o build_v with_o one_o hand_n and_o pull_v down_o with_o the_o other_o wherefore_o here_o the_o careful_a parent_n must_v not_o only_o teach_v but_o continue_v in_o teach_v and_o not_o only_o continue_v in_o teach_v but_o also_o look_v for_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o teach_n and_o again_o not_o only_o look_v for_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o teach_n but_o also_o wall_n it_o about_o with_o his_o diligent_a govern_v that_o in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v not_o lose_v 3._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o true_a end_n and_o proper_a good_a of_o every_o child_n child_n teach_v a_o child_n in_o the_o trade_n of_o his_o way_n that_o be_v teach_v he_o in_o the_o trade_n of_o his_o own_o way_n and_o that_o be_v as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o in_o some_o honest_a profession_n in_o good_a nurture_n and_o godliness_n this_o be_v call_v a_o child_n way_n not_o because_o he_o of_o his_o own_o will_n incline_v unto_o it_o but_o because_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v only_o wise_a and_o most_o love_a have_v of_o his_o great_a grace_n appoint_v out_o this_o way_n for_o he_o to_o walk_v in_o for_o his_o own_o good_a now_o you_o tender_a parent_n will_v it_o not_o grieve_v you_o that_o your_o child_n shall_v take_v a_o wrong_a course_n and_o drudge_n and_o droyle_n for_o other_o man_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n without_o any_o profit_n or_o pleasure_n to_o themselves_o but_o now_o it_o be_v well_o with_o they_o if_o they_o be_v man_n drudge_n for_o if_o they_o miss_v of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o of_o their_o own_o trade_n for_o want_v of_o good_a guide_n and_o instruction_n they_o fall_v present_o into_o the_o devil_n way_n because_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n and_o now_o they_o be_v become_v the_o devil_n packhorse_n bear_v his_o burden_n unto_o hell_n gate_n shall_v they_o not_o be_v well_o pay_v for_o their_o pain_n when_o they_o come_v there_o wherefore_o good_a parent_n if_o you_o will_v not_o have_v your_o child_n to_o be_v the_o devil_n drudge_n and_o to_o labour_v all_o their_o life_n for_o his_o profit_n then_o teach_v they_o in_o the_o trade_n of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o hold_v they_o in_o it_o teach_v 4._o the_o four_o reason_n be_v fetch_v from_o the_o special_a blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o parent_n for_o this_o virtuous_a care_n of_o instruct_v his_o child_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o eighteen_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n 18.17_o and_o the_o seventeen_o verse_n shall_v i_o hide_v from_o abraham_n that_o thing_n which_o i_o do_v for_o i_o know_v he_o that_o he_o will_v command_v his_o son_n and_o his_o houshoulde_n after_o he_o that_o they_o keep_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v righteousness_n and_o judgement_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v bring_v upon_o abraham_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v unto_o he_o here_o we_o see_v plain_o to_o no_o small_a encouragement_n to_o good_a parent_n how_o the_o lord_n refer_v to_o godly_a instruct_n of_o family_n as_o unto_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o work_n not_o only_o the_o impart_v of_o his_o bless_a secret_n but_o also_o all_o other_o blessing_n in_o general_a that_o the_o lord_n may_v bring_v upon_o abraham_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v unto_o he_o now_o what_o be_v that_o he_o have_v speak_v unto_o he_o why_o the_o promise_n of_o all_o his_o blessing_n both_o

o_o great_a be_v the_o blessing_n that_o come_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o this_o virtuous_a teach_n the_o fruit_n of_o it_o shall_v remain_v with_o our_o posterity_n even_o long_o after_o we_o be_v go_v

thousand_o generation_n of_o they_o that_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o lord_n hide_v his_o secret_n keep_v back_o many_o a_o heavenly_a instruction_n &_o withhold_v great_a blessing_n from_o most_o parent_n but_o because_o they_o will_v not_o do_v as_o abraham_n do_v they_o have_v no_o care_n that_o these_o bless_a monument_n may_v not_o die_v but_o be_v derive_v from_o age_n to_o age_n to_o god_n eternal_a glory_n wherefore_o thou_o good_a parent_n go_v thou_o forward_o in_o this_o virtuous_a education_n of_o thy_o child_n and_o then_o god_n shall_v hide_v no_o necessary_a secret_n or_o instruction_n from_o thou_o and_o he_o shall_v withhold_v no_o good_a blessing_n from_o thy_o posterity_n thou_o shall_v be_v a_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o abraham_n be_v if_o thou_o have_v the_o same_o care_n for_o thy_o child_n and_o family_n that_o he_o have_v 5._o the_o five_o
