be_v become_v of_o christian_a piety_n v._o but_o omit_v unprofitable_a complaint_n by_o which_o we_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o or_o very_o little_a have_v think_v very_o often_o with_o myself_o from_o whence_o this_o foolishness_n and_o vast_a and_o boundless_a calamity_n can_v proceed_v i_o resolve_v at_o last_o to_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o why_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o so_o inconsiderate_o negligent_o and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o our_o eye_n shut_v in_o a_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n that_o only_o our_o safety_n depend_v upon_o it_o but_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v safety_n itself_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o mischief_n be_v once_o find_v out_o and_o publish_v it_o will_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v be_v difficult_a afterward_o to_o find_v out_o some_o remedy_n for_o this_o evil_a which_o if_o they_o prevail_v not_o upon_o the_o obstinate_a what_o hope_n be_v leave_v i_o know_v not_o and_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o or_o no_o god_n only_o know_v vi_o and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o conceive_v the_o principal_a and_o chief_a cause_n of_o this_o to_o proceed_v from_o the_o neglect_n of_o youth_n and_o school_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o before_o all_o other_o thing_n magistrate_n ought_v to_o take_v care_n that_o parent_n shall_v educate_v their_o child_n well_o and_o tincture_n they_o betimes_o with_o christian_a piety_n the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o holy_a manner_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v very_o much_o the_o interest_n of_o all_o christian_a society_n that_o both_o the_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n shall_v take_v care_n that_o the_o youth_n be_v right_o and_o devout_o educate_v both_o by_o their_o parent_n and_o schoolmaster_n and_o tutor_n in_o the_o university_n because_o in_o this_o do_v almost_o the_o total_a safety_n of_o any_o community_n consist_v and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o diligent_a to_o see_v that_o these_o man_n do_v their_o duty_n in_o the_o religious_a instruct_n of_o their_o child_n and_o in_o the_o improve_n their_o scholar_n and_o pupil_n by_o a_o excellent_a discipline_n if_o this_o have_v be_v do_v or_o may_v yet_o be_v take_v care_n of_o certain_o atheism_n and_o vice_n have_v never_o grow_v to_o that_o height_n they_o now_o be_v at_o and_o without_o this_o no_o law_n will_v effectual_o prevail_v for_o whereas_o law_n punish_v villainy_n that_o be_v already_o commit_v a_o good_a education_n prevent_v the_o perpetration_n of_o those_o crime_n that_o may_v deserve_v a_o chastisement_n and_o whereas_o law_n correct_v vice_n education_n restrain_v they_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v take_v our_o measure_n to_o observe_v how_o much_o great_a efficacy_n be_v in_o good_a education_n than_o in_o the_o best_a law_n that_o i_o may_v not_o add_v that_o those_o who_o be_v ill_o bring_v up_o do_v afterward_o put_v off_o all_o fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o those_o law_n that_o be_v make_v to_o punish_v crime_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v always_o one_o of_o the_o first_o care_n of_o prudent_a magistrate_n not_o what_o penalty_n they_o shall_v inflict_v upon_o lewd_a and_o wicked_a man_n but_o how_o they_o may_v prevent_v their_o subject_n from_o do_v ill_a thing_n and_o because_o they_o think_v the_o most_o likely_a way_n to_o effect_v this_o be_v to_o accustom_v their_o youth_n to_o live_v well_o and_o religious_o from_o their_o infancy_n and_o to_o see_v that_o their_o parent_n do_v institute_n and_o educate_v their_o child_n as_o they_o ought_v they_o esteem_v it_o no_o small_a part_n of_o their_o duty_n to_o take_v care_n of_o it_o hollander_n but_o how_o careless_a the_o dutch_a parent_n be_v of_o perform_v this_o duty_n and_o how_o indulgent_a and_o remiss_a they_o be_v towards_o their_o offspring_n be_v know_v to_o every_o body_n their_o child_n accustom_v themselves_o to_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n from_o their_o tender_a year_n neither_o do_v they_o abstain_v from_o filthy_a and_o obscene_a discourse_n or_o impious_a and_o blasphemous_a word_n against_o god_n they_o wear_v silk_n and_o rich_a clothes_n of_o various_a colour_n military_a ornament_n

not_o their_o parent_n for_o here_o to_o the_o amazement_n of_o all_o man_n the_o child_n have_v acquire_v a_o absolute_a dominion_n over_o their_o parent_n and_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o a_o liberty_n not_o to_o reverence_v the_o ancient_n nor_o bear_v patient_o with_o their_o equal_n and_o to_o conclude_v they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o desire_v as_o in_o fact_n show_v that_o they_o can_v do_v what_o they_o list_v they_o be_v neither_o deter_v from_o evil_a by_o the_o reverence_n of_o man_n nor_o fear_v of_o god_n of_o which_o last_o they_o scarce_o ever_o hear_v they_o take_v no_o

his_o ill_a example_n when_o yet_o notwithstanding_o a_o parent_n ought_v to_o speak_v nothing_o before_o his_o child_n which_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v speak_v nor_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v indecent_a or_o dishonest_a to_o be_v do_v but_o shall_v rather_o live_v so_o honest_o and_o religious_o that_o his_o child_n may_v propound_v his_o way_n of_o live_v as_o a_o pattern_n to_o be_v

under_o a_o necessity_n of_o live_v well_o and_o honest_o and_o to_o take_v the_o utmost_a care_n that_o not_o the_o least_o footstep_n of_o disorder_n and_o turpitude_n may_v appear_v in_o their_o

and_o so_o their_o reproof_n lose_v their_o weight_n and_o by_o their_o own_o default_n the_o authority_n of_o a_o parent_n shall_v become_v vile_a and_o light_a with_o their_o own_o child_n vii_o and_o now_o when_o child_n be_v grow_v up_o and_o fit_a to_o be_v dispose_v of_o to_o master_n to_o be_v especial_o then_o accustom_v to_o all_o right_a and_o honest_a action_n and_o be_v instruct_v
