of_o most_o man_n now_o a_o day_n so_o wretched_o covetous_a be_v they_o grow_v that_o they_o deal_v with_o their_o servant_n as_o one_o will_v deal_v with_o a_o horse_n when_o he_o grow_v old_a and_o

as_o a_o reason_n if_o they_o be_v your_o husband_n if_o god_n have_v set_v they_o over_o you_o as_o your_o head_n and_o governor_n you_o must_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o they_o for_o this_o cause_n

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

therefore_o in_o pity_n as_o smite_v at_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o sin_n they_o must_v give_v chasticement_n to_o their_o child_n three_o it_o must_v be_v do_v with_o prayer_n that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o wise_a heart_n to_o give_v most_o due_a and_o seasonable_a correction_n and_o their_o child_n also_o soft_a heart_n to_o receive_v it_o with_o patience_n and_o to_o their_o

upon_o her_o calse_a in_o fury_n nor_o a_o sheep_n will_v not_o deal_v so_o with_o her_o lamb_n and_o indeed_o this_o do_v but_o harden_v the_o child_n heart_n and_o embitter_v he_o and_o make_v he_o more_o stubborn_a and_o fierce_a and_o mischievous_a therefore_o that_o one_o may_v correct_v his_o child_n for_o some_o good_a end_n it_o must_v be_v do_v with_o prayer_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v also_o with_o great_a calmness_n and_o meekness_n and_o without_o mixture_n of_o wrath_n and_o passion_n for_o if_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n be_v unprofitable_a without_o god_n blessing_n which_o why_o shall_v he_o give_v if_o one_o think_v too_o much_o to_o ask_v it_o much_o less_o may_v one_o look_v for_o either_o blessing_n or_o profit_n by_o the_o rod_n unless_o he_o ask_v it_o of_o god_n but_o be_v join_v with_o prayer_n because_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n god_n will_v give_v a_o blessing_n and_o it_o shall_v do_v good_a a_o third_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o infancy_n especial_o belong_v unto_o the_o mother_n the_o former_a be_v common_a to_o both_o parent_n but_o this_o be_v her_o special_a duty_n to_o nurse_n it_o not_o to_o throw_v it_o from_o she_o so_o soon_o as_o she_o have_v bring_v it_o into_o the_o world_n but_o as_o god_n have_v give_v she_o as_o her_o womb_n to_o bear_v so_o breast_n and_o milk_n to_o nourish_v her_o child_n so_o let_v she_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o the_o blessing_n and_o use_v they_o to_o that_o end_n that_o he_o give_v they_o for_o this_o be_v so_o natural_a that_o even_o the_o beast_n will_v not_o omit_v

this_o be_v note_v of_o the_o good_a woman_n in_o scripture_n that_o they_o do_v much_o rejoice_v in_o suckle_a their_o child_n with_o their_o own_o breast_n as_o sarah_n say_v that_o now_o she_o shall_v give_v sueke_v a_o thing_n that_o great_o glad_v her_o heart_n and_o it_o be_v note_v as_o a_o plague_n and_o punishment_n to_o have_v a_o barren_a womb_n and_o dry_a breast_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v foul_a fault_n when_o god_n have_v give_v a_o good_a blessing_n for_o one_o wilful_o to_o turn_v into_o a_o curse_n those_o woman_n therefore_o that_o have_v fail_v in_o this_o duty_n must_v be_v humble_v as_o have_v omit_v a_o good_a duty_n that_o god_n require_v at_o their_o hand_n &_o those_o that_o have_v do_v it_o must_v do_v it_o still_o for_o in_o the_o primitive_a

will_v be_v negligent_a to_o those_o that_o be_v further_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v with_o this_o office_n so_o much_o for_o the_o duty_n which_o parent_n must_v perform_v to_o their_o child_n in_o their_o tender_a year_n now_o those_o follow_v which_o must_v be_v perform_v when_o they_o grow_v to_o more_o ripeness_n of_o year_n and_o these_o be_v

that_o one_o can_v live_v in_o to_o make_v child_n have_v a_o long_a and_o happy_a life_n be_v to_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o parent_n therefore_o let_v child_n learn_v to_o be_v dutiful_a and_o
