second_o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o strife_n and_o the_o establish_n of_o peace_n and_o love_n among_o they_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n much_o to_o be_v respect_v among_o all_o much_o more_o of_o a_o father_n among_o his_o child_n three_o all_o that_o a_o father_n shall_v say_v at_o that_o time_n to_o his_o child_n in_o reprove_v and_o rebuke_v of_o sin_n &_o allow_v and_o commend_v of_o virtue_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o deep_o imprint_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n be_v so_o solemn_o do_v and_o the_o last_o word_n as_o it_o be_v of_o their_o father_n upon_o his_o deathbed_n yea_o we_o see_v often_o that_o they_o which_o be_v far_o from_o be_v godly_a dispose_v do_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n much_o respect_n the_o thing_n give_v they_o in_o charge_n by_o their_o father_n upon_o his_o deathbed_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o all_o your_o child_n shall_v be_v present_a and_o all_o this_o must_v be_v perform_v by_o you_o with_o fatherly_a wisdom_n and_o judgement_n without_o partiality_n not_o punish_v a_o small_a fault_n with_o a_o great_a punishment_n nor_o a_o great_a fault_n with_o a_o small_a punishment_n but_o proportionable_a to_o the_o offence_n must_v the_o punishment_n be_v for_o so_o do_v god_n always_o deal_v with_o his_o child_n and_o so_o must_v earthly_a father_n with_o their_o child_n a_o notable_a precedent_n of_o all_o this_o we_o have_v in_o that_o holy_a patriarch_n jacob_n and_o his_o son_n wherewith_o i_o know_v you_o be_v well_o acquaint_v gen._n 49._o christian._n but_o what_o if_o some_o child_n be_v so_o evil_o dispose_v that_o for_o that_o cause_n they_o shall_v be_v think_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v present_a at_o their_o father_n will_n minister_n that_o any_o be_v so_o be_v one_o principal_a reason_n that_o they_o shall_v rather_o be_v there_o than_o the_o other_o better_o dispose_v for_o that_o as_o before_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v be_v better_v by_o their_o father_n last_o sharp_a reprehension_n if_o any_o thing_n will_v prevail_v with_o they_o and_o this_o do_v that_o former_a instance_n of_o jacob_n son_n plain_o set_v forth_o for_o reuben_n be_v present_a though_o he_o have_v a_o curse_n for_o lie_v

though_o treacherous_o they_o have_v deal_v concern_v joseph_n and_o sell_v he_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v there_o the_o rather_o christian._n but_o what_o if_o distance_n of_o place_n do_v let_v that_o some_o can_v be_v present_a minister_n such_o necessity_n than_o must_v be_v consider_v and_o those_o absent_a the_o more_o careful_o not_o the_o less_o respect_v christian._n have_v but_o
