as_o they_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n shall_v see_v meet_a and_o serviceable_a friend_n whereas_o it_o have_v please_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o unspeakable_a riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o visit_v a_o remnant_n in_o his_o love_n and_o to_o meet_v with_o we_o in_o a_o way_n where_o we_o expect_v he_o not_o when_o we_o be_v wander_v from_o mountain_n to_o hill_n and_o choose_v our_o own_o way_n seek_v the_o live_n among_o the_o dead_a yea_o when_o we_o have_v long_o thus_o weary_v ourselves_o and_o almost_o dispair_v of_o find_v what_o we_o seek_v but_o be_v say_v in_o ourselves_o who_o shall_v ascend_v up_o or_o descend_v down_o for_o we_o to_o bring_v that_o to_o we_o without_o which_o our_o immortal_a soul_n can_v find_v no_o rest_n even_o in_o that_o time_n be_v the_o

and_o understanding_n according_a to_o his_o divine_a wisdom_n who_o know_v every_a one_o state_n and_o every_o one_o necessity_n and_o he_o become_v as_o a_o pillar_n of_o a_o cloud_n by_o day_n and_o as_o a_o pillar_n of_o fire_n by_o night_n unto_o all_o such_o as_o embrace_v and_o receive_v his_o appearance_n and_o follow_v he_o faithful_o yea_o he_o become_v as_o a_o wall_n of_o fire_n round_o about_o they_o who_o do_v whole_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o thus_o have_v he_o gather_v we_o to_o be_v a_o people_n who_o be_v once_o as_o scatter_a sheep_n that_o know_v not_o

the_o generation_n that_o be_v come_v after_o we_o it_o be_v high_o needful_a that_o we_o watch_v diligent_o in_o the_o fear_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o nothing_o may_v be_v nor_o remain_v among_o we_o as_o a_o old_a leaven_n to_o grieve_v and_o burden_v the_o redeem_a nor_o to_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o evil_a example_n to_o the_o young_a one_o that_o be_v come_v up_o after_o we_o

in_o our_o mouth_n amen_o amen_n for_o these_o good_a end_n it_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o signify_v these_o two_o thing_n that_o at_o the_o present_n be_v principal_o upon_o i_o which_o i_o have_v

whereupon_o i_o have_v forbear_v as_o long_o as_o well_o i_o dare_v but_o now_o find_v that_o i_o be_o not_o clear_v of_o the_o matter_n but_o that_o in_o a_o fresh_a live_a sense_n it_o be_v renew_v in_o i_o i_o dare_v not_o long_o forbear_v to_o write_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v upon_o my_o spirit_n in_o these_o two_o particular_n and_o recommend_v the_o same_o unto_o god_n witness_n in_o all_o conscience_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o lie_v before_o i_o be_v concern_v the_o bring_n up_o of_o our_o child_n which_o be_v a_o very_a weighty_a concern_v and_o every_o one_o that_o have_v the_o bring_n up_o of_o child_n will_v have_v very_o much_o to_o answer_v for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o quit_v themselves_o as_o before_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o diligence_n and_o faithfulness_n they_o be_v god_n creature_n and_o give_v to_o parent_n as_o a_o gift_n from_o he_o upon_o who_o they_o be_v to_o improve_v their_o utmost_a diligence_n that_o they_o may_v grow_v up_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o that_o parent_n shall_v not_o overlook_a thing_n in_o their_o child_n through_o fond_a affection_n which_o they_o know_v by_o the_o light_n of_o jesus_n to_o be_v evil_a and_o bad_a neither_o speak_v to_o they_o in_o a_o slender_a reproof_n as_o eli_n do_v to_o his_o son_n but_o from_o their_o youth_n upward_o to_o set_v before_o their_o eye_n the_o weight_n &_o danger_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o that_o in_o a_o holy_a zeal_n as_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o his_o holy_a power_n seek_v in_o their_o young_a year_n to_o reach_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o they_o and_o above_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o good_a example_n to_o they_o in_o all_o thing_n or_o else_o we_o break_v down_o in_o they_o that_o which_o we_o seek_v to_o build_v up_o for_o how_o can_v we_o build_v they_o up_o in_o the_o faith_n except_o we_o so_o stand_v in_o the_o faith_n as_o to_o obtain_v the_o victory_n in_o ourselves_o and_o how_o can_v we_o bring_v their_o mind_n to_o the_o light_n of_o jesus_n except_o we_o walk_v in_o it_o neither_o ought_v any_o one_o to_o be_v bitter_a to_o their_o child_n nor_o to_o require_v more_o of_o they_o then_o we_o know_v they_o be_v of_o ability_n to_o perform_v and_o when_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o their_o duty_n not_o to_o correct_v they_o in_o our_o own_o will_n nor_o in_o a_o wrathful_a angry_a mind_n for_o that_o mind_n be_v itself_o for_o correction_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o help_v they_o with_o the_o rod_n of_o a_o gentle_a chastisement_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o bow_v their_o own_o stubborn_a will_n and_o so_o come_v the_o witness_n in_o they_o to_o be_v reach_v and_o they_o grow_v sensible_a in_o themselves_o that_o the_o rod_n have_v be_v a_o help_n to_o they_o and_o come_v to_o feel_v a_o love_n and_o unity_n with_o they_o that_o have_v so_o help_v they_o while_o their_o mind_n be_v keep_v to_o the_o truth_n and_o see_v we_o be_v as_o a_o city_n set_v upon_o a_o

to_o the_o innocent_a child_n of_o our_o own_o birth_n and_o generation_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o we_o as_o a_o particular_a charge_n and_o ministry_n from_o their_o time_n of_o great_a innocency_n upward_o to_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o band_n of_o nature_n and_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n to_o take_v care_n over_o and_o to_o bring_v up_o in_o his_o pure_a fear_n in_o all_o wisdom_n discretion_n and_o watchfulness_n that_o we_o may_v be_v a_o good_a savour_n in_o they_o and_o to_o they_o whether_o it_o be_v unto_o life_n if_o they_o be_v obedient_a or_o unto_o

i_o speak_v not_o of_o all_o for_o first_o they_o receive_v not_o their_o child_n as_o from_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o faith_n as_o his_o gift_n neither_o do_v they_o offer_v they_o up_o again_o to_o
