rather_o than_o reform_v they_o 4._o do_v you_o sometime_o wink_v at_o small_a thing_n in_o child_n and_o not_o chide_v they_o for_o every_o trifle_n else_o as_o child_n grow_v old_a parent_n will_v

not_o upbraid_v your_o child_n with_o former_a miscarriage_n in_o your_o passionate_a heat_n for_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v reproof_n and_o correction_n before_o but_o when_o the_o same_o fault_n be_v again_o renew_v give_v new_a reproof_n or_o correction_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o offence_n do_v require_v 8._o study_v the_o constitution_n of_o your_o child_n mildness_n will_v do_v better_o with_o some_o than_o severity_n and_o the_o disposition_n of_o other_o need_v severity_n to_o be_v exercise_v towards_o they_o 9_o when_o the_o husband_n rebuke_n a_o child_n let_v the_o

be_v angry_a with_o child_n for_o some_o miscarriage_n forbear_v rebuke_v or_o correct_v till_o your_o spirit_n be_v cool_v that_o can_v be_v do_v regular_o that_o be_v do_v in_o fury_n whatever_o
