beside_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n herein_o we_o must_v know_v that_o neither_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o universal_a that_o every_o particular_a child_n of_o a_o

the_o one_o that_o will_v not_o for_o the_o other_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v if_o we_o wish_v to_o convey_v god_n his_o blessing_n to_o our_o posterity_n let_v we_o use_v the_o duty_n thereunto_o let_v we_o if_o we_o be_v loath_a to_o convey_v god_n his_o judgement_n to_o our_o child_n careful_o avoid_v the_o mean_n unto_o it_o and_o sure_o as_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n in_o
