of_o it_o and_o have_v we_o no_o affection_n to_o bestow_v upon_o their_o best_a good_a be_v we_o glad_a that_o they_o have_v health_n and_o indifferent_a whether_o they_o have_v grace_n glad_a they_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o world_n indifferent_a whether_o they_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n if_o we_o serious_o catechise_v ourselves_o at_o some_o such_o rate_n as_o this_o and_o find_v how_o unable_a we_o be_v to_o answer_v that_o sin_n and_o folly_n which_o carry_v all_o our_o love_n to_o our_o child_n only_o to_o their_o outward_a concernment_n god_n may_v bless_v it_o

not_o upon_o the_o offer_n of_o any_o child_n to_o baptism_n hereafter_o be_v necessitate_v to_o demur_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o our_o duty_n to_o deny_v it_o you_o or_o at_o least_o to_o defer_v it_o 3._o in_o relation_n to_o your_o servant_n all_o that_o we_o have_v say_v already_o of_o the_o duty_n you_o owe_v to_o your_o whole_a family_n as_o we_o have_v remember_v you_o how_o special_a a_o interest_n your_o child_n have_v in_o it_o so_o we_o think_v it_o expedient_a to_o add_v a_o little_a in_o particular_a reference_n to_o your_o servant_n to_o prevent_v any_o temptation_n you_o may_v have_v of_o suppose_v the_o care_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o be_v none_o at_o all_o of_o your_o concernment_n we_o shall_v lay_v what_o we_o have_v here_o to_o add_v before_o you_o in_o a_o very_a few_o word_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o for_o nothing_o that_o the_o title_n of_o father_n be_v bestow_v upon_o head_n of_o family_n in_o relation_n to_o more_o person_n than_o the_o child_n of_o their_o body_n they_o be_v father_n to_o their_o servant_n 2_o king_n 5._o 13._o you_o can_v never_o make_v that_o title_n good_a unless_o you_o excercise_n a_o fatherly_a care_n over_o they_o nor_o do_v any_o care_n so_o well_o deserve_v this_o honourable_a appellation_n as_o a_o care_n of_o their_o soul_n which_o you_o can_v no_o way_n better_o express_v than_o by_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n 2._o they_o be_v advantageous_a member_n of_o your_o family_n and_o in_o the_o sweat_n of_o their_o brow_n do_v you_o eat_v much_o of_o your_o bread_n in_o the_o inventory_n of_o man_n estate_n be_v servant_n reckon_v as_o a_o part_n of_o their_o riches_n gen._n 12._o 16._o and_o 24._o 35._o and_o 26._o 14._o and_o 30._o 43._o and_o 32._o 5._o 2_o king_n 5._o 26._o eccles._n 2._o 7._o shall_v they_o serve_v you_o and_o can_v you_o be_v careless_a whether_o they_o serve_v god_n or_o no_o that_o you_o pay_v they_o the_o wage_n of_o their_o work_n what_o will_v it_o profit_v they_o if_o you_o endeavour_v not_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v not_o receive_v the_o wage_n of_o their_o sin_n 3._o very_o much_o of_o your_o interest_n be_v wrap_v up_o in_o their_o piety_n we_o mean_v your_o interest_n as_o to_o outward_a thing_n your_o affair_n will_v prosper_v the_o better_a in_o their_o hand_n even_o wicked_a master_n have_v find_v godly_a servant_n a_o great_a blessing_n pray_v read_v gen._n 39_o 2._o 3._o and_o chap._n 30._o 27._o philemon_n ver._n 10_o 11._o and_o see_v if_o all_o that_o you_o have_v at_o home_n and_o abroad_o your_o tillage_n your_o cattle_n your_o trade_n will_v not_o fare_v the_o better_a in_o case_n you_o teach_v your_o servant_n how_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n christ_n as_o well_o as_o yourselves_o 4._o set_v before_o your_o eye_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n abraham_n have_v in_o his_o family_n 318_o servant_n loc._n and_o they_o be_v all_o say_a to_o be_v his_o traiâ—d_n
