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 of_o thankfulness_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o their_o parent_n as_o in_o tim._n 2._o he_o command_v that_o prayer_n be_v make_v for_o all_o in_o authority_n and_o if_o any_o must_v pray_v for_o those_o that_o be_v further_o of_o in_o common_a weal_n much_o more_o for_o those_o that_o be_v near_o in_o the_o family_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n to_o be_v great_o condemn_v in_o many_o that_o can_v see_v their_o parent_n fault_n and_o speak_v of_o they_o too_o much_o but_o can_v find_v time_n to_o fall_v down_o before_o god_n and_o beseech_v he_o to_o heal_v their_o nature_n and_o help_v they_o out_o of_o their_o sin_n many_o have_v live_v a_o long_a time_n with_o their_o parent_n yet_o can_v say_v that_o they_o send_v up_o a_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o heaven_n for_o their_o parent_n so_o unnatural_a and_o unthankful_a be_v they_o the_o use_n of_o all_o these_o duty_n to_o those_o who_o parent_n be_v not_o alive_a be_v to_o look_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v not_o alive_a after_o their_o parent_n death_n and_o therefore_o to_o examine_v themselves_o whether_o they_o have_v be_v faulty_a in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o if_o they_o do_v repent_v for_o it_o and_o desire_v pardon_n else_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o two_o plague_n first_o that_o their_o child_n shall_v take_v their_o parent_n quarrel_v in_o hand_n and_o requite_v their_o wicked_a deal_n in_o what_o ever_o duty_n they_o have_v fail_v and_o have_v not_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o second_o that_o as_o honour_v parent_n bring_v a_o long_a and_o happy_a life_n so_o their_o dishonour_v their_o parent_n shall_v make_v they_o have_v a_o short_a life_n and_o miserable_a or_o if_o a_o long_a life_n yet_o full_a of_o god_n curse_n for_o their_o unrepented_a son_n therefore_o let_v such_o as_o be_v now_o fatherless_a mark_v themselves_o and_o find_v that_o their_o child_n be_v stubborn_a against_o they_o and_o unthankful_a and_o rebellion_n every_o way_n as_o many_o may_v see_v it_o open_o and_o woeful_o let_v call_v themselves_o back_o and_o see_v what_o kind_n of_o child_n they_o be_v before_o how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o to_o their_o parent_n whether_o they_o be_v not_o all_o together_o faulty_a in_o this_o point_n if_o it_o be_v so_o let_v they_o confesle_v that_o their_o own_o sin_n have_v find_v they_o out_o and_o be_v turn_v open_a let_v they_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o have_v give_v the_o same_o measure_n into_o their_o bosom_n their_o own_o evil_n be_v fall_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n they_o dig_v a_o pit_n in_o their_o youth_n and_o now_o in_o their_o age_n be_v fall_v into_o it_o and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o child_n now_o follow_v the_o duty_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n for_o under_o the_o duty_n of_o inferior_a 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 ripe_a age_n the_o parent_n duty_n to_o the_o child_n in_o their_o tender_a year_n and_o childhood_n be_v first_o to_o instruct_v they_o in_o religion_n to_o season_v they_o with_o the_o word_n of_o piety_n or_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o drop_v in_o the_o ground_n of_o holiness_n into_o they_o even_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v and_o begin_v to_o have_v the_o least_o use_n of_o understanding_n so_o proverb_n teach_v a_o child_n in_o the_o trade_n of_o his_o youth_n and_o he_o will_v remember_v it_o afterward_o where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n exhort_v man_n to_o teach_v their_o young_a child_n meet_v with_o a_o objection_n alas_o might_n one_o say_v teach_v such_o little_a one_o what_o good_a will_v that_o do_v we_o shall_v but_o loose_v our_o labour_n for_o 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 sense_n too_o and_o this_o duty_n the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v ephes_n 6._o 4._o bring_v they_o up_o in_o instruction_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o timothy_n mother_n do_v put_v in_o practice_n for_o it_o be_v note_v of_o she_o that_o she_o instruct_v timothy_n in_o the_o scripture_n from_o a_o child_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n he_o be_v so_o holy_a a_o man_n she_o be_v a_o nurse_n to_o his_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o to_o his_o body_n and_o give_v he_o milk_n out_o of_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v do_v suck_v she_o own_o breast_n so_o that_o as_o he_o wax_v strong_a in_o natural_a strength_n of_o natural_a life_n so_o he_o wax_v strong_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o he_o grow_v so_o excellent_a a_o man_n and_o so_o worthy_a a_o preacher_n and_o member_n of_o the_o church_n because_o his_o mother_n feed_v his_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o his_o body_n the_o second_o duty_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n in_o their_o young_a year_n be_v to_o correct_v they_o to_o give_v they_o correction_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o proverb_n command_v often_o and_o show_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o correct_v he_o and_o thou_o shall_v save_v his_o soul_n chasten_v he_o and_o he_o will_v give_v thou_o pleasure_n in_o the_o latter_a the_o rod_n of_o correction_n drive_v away_o folly_n this_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o make_v a_o divorce_n betwixt_o folishnesse_n and_o his_o heart_n which_o be_v so_o near_o wed_v together_o but_o in_o correction_n these_o rule_n must_v be_v observe_v first_o let_v it_o be_v seasonable_a and_o do_v in_o time_n pass_v it_o not_o over_o to_o long_o but_o begin_v early_o enough_o so_o solomon_n say_v he_o that_o love_v he_o correct_v he_o be_v time_n and_o do_v not_o omit_v it_o till_o it_o be_v to_o late_o but_o take_v the_o fit_a opportunity_n when_o he_o may_v with_o most_o ease_n and_o few_o stripe_n do_v most_o good_a for_o indeed_o a_o small_a twig_n and_o a_o few_o blow_n in_o time_n when_o he_o be_v yet_o a_o child_n &_o not_o harden_v in_o sin_n will_v do_v more_o good_a than_o many_o tod_n and_o abundance_n of_o stripe_n afterward_o if_o this_o seaso_n be_v let_v slip_n for_o if_o the_o child_n be_v not_o master_v when_o he_o be_v young_a he_o will_v master_v his_o parent_n when_o he_o grow_v elder_a therefore_o let_v they_o not_o get_v a_o head_n for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v prove_v like_o a_o young_a colt_n that_o have_v get_v a_o ill_a trick_n at_o the_o first_o &_o he_o have_v once_o cast_v his_o rider_n he_o be_v mar_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o now_o you_o may_v soon_o almost_o kill_v he_o then_o break_v he_o and_o bring_v he_o in_o any_o good_a order_n again_o second_o it_o must_v be_v do_v with_o great_a compassion_n and_o mercy_n not_o in_o bitterness_n to_o ease_v one_o self_n with_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o child_n which_o be_v too_o barbarous_a cruelty_n for_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 correct_v his_o own_o sin_n in_o his_o son_n for_o if_o the_o child_n be_v curse_v and_o froward_a be_v it_o not_o because_o he_o have_v see_v the_o parent_n brawl_v and_o contentious_a if_o he_o lie_v have_v not_o his_o father_n give_v he_o a_o pattern_n of_o dissemble_v and_o if_o he_o swear_v be_v
