honourable_a and_o heavenly_a deserve_n at_o our_o hand_n we_o can_v do_v it_o if_o our_o gracious_a prince_n to_o show_v her_o puissance_n against_o a_o foreign_a power_n shall_v call_v forth_o one_o

drown_v it_o now_o then_o belove_v you_o see_v the_o end_n of_o your_o redemption_n and_o calling_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o do_v good_a work_n but_o to_o be_v zealous_a of_o good_a work_n you_o be_v call_v and_o redeem_v to_o the_o heat_n and_o fire_n of_o good_a work_n you_o be_v call_v and_o redeem_v to_o such_o a_o burn_a love_n of_o they_o that_o nothing_o may_v quench_v it_o nay_o even_o as_o death_n and_o the_o grave_n overcome_v all_o thing_n so_o this_o zeal_n in_o we_o of_o good_a work_n shall_v overcome_v and_o cast_v down_o before_o we_o all_o the_o let_v and_o

as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n john_n write_v i_o call_v upon_o you_o little_a child_n because_o you_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o your_o father_n dear_a love_n and_o tenderness_n towards_o you_o i_o call_v upon_o you_o young_a man_n because_o your_o affection_n be_v strong_a in_o you_o and_o you_o be_v best_a able_a to_o bear_v the_o lord_n burden_n and_o i_o call_v upon_o you_o old_a man_n because_o you_o by_o reason_n of_o your_o long_a experience_n have_v most_o knowledge_n of_o your_o duty_n give_v the_o lord_n his_o due_a and_o right_n and_o abound_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o good_a

shall_v not_o depart_v from_o it_o pro._n 22.6_o when_o i_o begin_v to_o read_v this_o verse_n unto_o you_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o consist_v of_o two_o part_n of_o a_o precept_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o precept_n hitherto_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o precept_n and_o of_o the_o necessary_a circumstance_n belong_v unto_o it_o and_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o that_o so_o i_o may_v stir_v up_o the_o life_n of_o the_o precept_n in_o his_o work_n in_o you_o and_o when_o he_o be_v old_a he_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o it_o that_o be_v if_o thou_o faithful_o instructe_v he_o in_o his_o way_n while_o he_o be_v young_a he_o shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o all_o his_o life_n after_o but_o now_o that_o parent_n may_v be_v compass_v about_o with_o a_o cloud_n of_o exhortation_n i_o have_v think_v good_a here_o not_o only_o to_o press_v forth_o the_o principal_a scope_n of_o this_o text_n but_o also_o to_o suck_v out_o of_o the_o bowel_n thereof_o the_o more_o hide_a and_o abstruse_a collection_n and_o to_o gather_v the_o like_a argument_n out_o of_o other_o scripture_n because_o the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v one_o and_o dare_v hand_n to_o itself_o 1._o the_o first_o reason_n which_o shall_v move_v parent_n to_o take_v in_o hand_n this_o duty_n of_o instruct_v their_o child_n in_o this_o trade_n of_o their_o way_n teach_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o precept_n because_o every_o child_n natural_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v out_o of_o the_o way_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n teach_v we_o 51.5_o psal._n 51.5_o behold_v i_o be_v bear_v in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n have_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o and_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n say_v ephes._n 2._o 2.3_o that_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n 6.5_o and_o moses_n in_o the_o 6._o chapter_n of_o gen._n teach_v we_o that_o all_o the_o thought_n and_o imagination_n of_o man_n hart_n be_v continual_o evil_a and_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1._o cor._n 2._o that_o the_o natural_a man_n can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 2.14_o and_o again_o rom._n 8._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n 7.8_o for_o it_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n neither_o indeed_o can_v be_v wherefore_o now_o you_o see_v plain_o how_o every_o mother_n child_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n blind_a in_o his_o understanding_n froward_a in_o his_o will_n and_o affection_n corrupt_a in_o all_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o hart_n dead_a in_o the_o life_n of_o god_n &_o whole_o possess_v with_o sin_n so_o that_o except_o now_o his_o nature_n be_v change_v by_o good_a education_n he_o can_v possible_o apply_v himself_o unto_o any_o good_a way_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o all_o his_o life_n long_o run_v astray_o and_o in_o the_o end_n fall_v headlong_o into_o hell_n fire_n wherefore_o o_o you_o parent_n as_o you_o have_v give_v your_o child_n the_o worse_o so_o give_v they_o the_o better_a also_o as_o you_o have_v bring_v they_o forth_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o death_n so_o now_o teach_v they_o how_o they_o may_v become_v the_o child_n of_o grace_n and_o life_n teach_v your_o child_n in_o the_o trade_n of_o their_o way_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v teach_v for_o except_v their_o education_n and_o teach_n be_v better_a than_o their_o birth_n they_o be_v cast_v away_o for_o ever_o and_o they_o may_v curse_v their_o parent_n that_o ever_o they_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o world_n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n to_o move_v parent_n to_o this_o virtuous_a teach_n of_o their_o child_n teach_v be_v take_v from_o the_o opportunity_n thereof_o for_o if_o ever_o they_o will_v do_v their_o child_n good_a now_o they_o must_v do_v it_o while_o they_o be_v child_n the_o smyth_n must_v strike_v wile_n the_o iron_n be_v hot_a and_o the_o ploughman_n must_v plow_v while_o his_o ground_n will_v work_v and_o the_o sailor_n must_v sail_v when_o he_o have_v wind_n and_o tide_n and_o as_o you_o see_v every_o trade_n have_v his_o proper_a opportunity_n so_o this_o trade_n also_o of_o education_n have_v childhood_n for_o his_o fit_a time_n to_o work_v upon_o if_o you_o do_v not_o teach_v your_o child_n and_o train_n they_o up_o in_o good_a nurture_n while_o they_o be_v young_a all_o your_o labour_n shall_v be_v but_o lose_v afterwards_o you_o shall_v strike_v upon_o the_o cold_a iron_n you_o shall_v plow_v in_o the_o
if_o they_o see_v they_o poor_a or_o sick_a they_o sorrow_n and_o sigh_n but_o though_o they_o see_v they_o sin_n they_o sorrow_n not_o and_o in_o this_o they_o show_v that_o they_o bring_v forth_o the_o body_n of_o their_o child_n but_o not_o their_o soul_n 3._o the_o three_o vice_n be_v commit_v of_o such_o poor_a parent_n which_o make_v no_o great_a choice_n with_o what_o master_n &_o dame_n they_o place_v their_o child_n so_o they_o have_v meat_n and_o drink_n enough_o and_o wage_n thereto_o competent_a and_o be_v neither_o back_n beat_v nor_o belie_v beat_v as_o they_o say_v alas_o such_o poor_a child_n while_o they_o serve_v for_o their_o belly_n they_o may_v lose_v their_o soul_n because_o they_o want_v godly_a master_n and_o dame_n to_o give_v they_o wholesome_a instruction_n to_o hold_v they_o in_o by_o good_a example_n and_o to_o govern_v they_o continual_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o here_o let_v all_o parent_n learn_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o master_n and_o dame_n for_o their_o child_n as_o be_v godly_a and_o religious_a wise_a heart_a such_o as_o be_v both_o able_a &_o well_o dispose_v to_o train_v up_o youth_n in_o all_o good_a nurture_n &_o god_n service_n and_o not_o only_o this_o for_o the_o great_a care_n of_o all_o lie_v upon_o the_o parent_n but_o also_o they_o must_v so_o often_o as_o convenient_o they_o may_v repair_v unto_o they_o and_o see_v how_o they_o profit_v and_o hold_v they_o up_o by_o their_o good_a counsel_n &_o be_v careful_a to_o entreat_v those_o which_o have_v the_o government_n of_o they_o to_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o in_o this_o chief_a point_n above_o the_o rest_n 18.21_o for_o as_o solomon_n say_v life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o tongue_n so_o we_o may_v well_o say_v life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o the_o education_n of_o our_o child_n if_o they_o be_v well_o bring_v up_o it_o shall_v be_v life_n unto_o they_o but_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o they_o be_v train_v up_o to_o everlasting_a death_n 4._o the_o four_o vice_n be_v the_o fault_n of_o many_o master_n &_o dame_n who_o make_v no_o further_a reckon_n of_o their_o servant_n then_o they_o do_v of_o their_o brute_n beast_n for_o so_o long_o as_o their_o work_n and_o business_n be_v well_o do_v by_o they_o they_o care_v for_o no_o more_o and_o they_o will_v teach_v they_o no_o further_o than_o may_v serve_v for_o their_o own_o turn_n and_o benefit_n that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o profitable_a servant_n unto_o they_o such_o master_n make_v their_o servant_n drudge_n to_o the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o life_n of_o such_o youth_n die_v while_o it_o shoot_v up_o all_o these_o sin_n and_o trespass_n against_o this_o commandment_n of_o the_o heavenly_a father_n because_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o good_a nurture_n and_o godly_a instruction_n now_o have_v show_v what_o parent_n and_o all_o other_o governor_n of_o youth_n be_v to_o shun_v in_o the_o education_n of_o child_n and_o servant_n we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v to_o show_v wherein_o this_o careful_a and_o diligent_a instruction_n be_v to_o be_v
