several_a respect_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v with_o religion_n that_o these_o who_o by_o near_a of_o blood_n be_v in_o duty_n bind_v to_o take_v care_n of_o young_a people_n education_n

this_o score_n that_o this_o care_n touch_v most_o near_o all_o parent_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o child_n it_o be_v the_o principal_a part_n of_o paternal_a duty_n to_o take_v effectual_a care_n that_o they_o may_v be_v thorough_o instruct_v in_o all_o matter_n relate_v to_o god_n and_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o to_o be_v encourage_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o religious_a exercise_n for_o i●_n

when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v already_o plant_v and_o establish_v among_o we_o beside_o that_o child_n soon_o grow_v headstrong_a and_o refractory_a if_o they_o be_v not_o in_o their_o tender_a

most_o evident_a that_o civil_a government_n be_v not_o erect_v for_o religion_n sake_n or_o that_o man_n do_v not_o enter_v into_o civil_a society_n that_o they_o may_v with_o more_o conveniency_n

as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o great_a one_o it_o be_v unnecessary_a to_o erect_v several_a great_a society_n on_o that_o account_n beside_o that_o those_o who_o commit_v open_a violence_n against_o

founder_n of_o commonwealth_n but_o as_o ancient_a as_o humane_a raceit_n self_n it_o be_v sufficient_o apparent_a that_o mankind_n do_v not_o enter_v into_o civil_a society_n till_o long_o after_o be_v enforce_v thereunto_o by_o great_a and_o weighty_a reason_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o some_o have_v cunning_o abuse_v religion_n for_o obtain_v their_o

commonwealth_n be_v not_o erect_v for_o religion_n sake_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o ancient_a father_n of_o family_n when_o they_o first_o submit_v themselves_o under_o a_o civil_a government_n be_v thereby_o not_o oblige_v to_o surrender_v at_o the_o same_o time_n their_o religion_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o they_o do_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n to_o their_o

mutual_a security_n and_o as_o such_o do_v not_o contribute_v any_o thing_n towards_o the_o maintain_n of_o civil_a society_n religion_n arise_v from_o a_o much_o more_o noble_a spring_n than_o
