Here he was tender of Children which are the Heritage of the Lord and the Lord said Thrice in the Year shall all your men Children appear before the Lord God of Israel Exod. 34.23 Here you may see the care the Lord takes that Children which are his Heritage should be acquainted with him which ought to be the duty of all Parents And the Lord said Take heed to thy self and keep thy Soul diligently lest thou forget the things which thine Eyes have seen lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy Life but teach thy Sons and thy Sons Sons especially in the day that thou stoodst before the Lord thy God in Horeb when the Lord said unto me viz. Moses Gather me the people and I will make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me all the dayes that they shall live upon the Earth and that they may teach their Children Here you may see the Care of the Lord both to his People and how they are commanded to teach their Children yea their Sons Sons the Children that are Gods Heritage might be Instructed by their Parents the things of God Deut. 4.10 And in the Old Testament the Lord God said Thou shalt do no manner of work on the Sabbath day thou nor thy Son nor thy Daughter nor thy Man Servant nor the Stranger which is within thy Gate they were all to rest on the Sabbath day in the old Covenant so were all the Believers whether they be Masters or Mistrisses Sons Daughters or Strangers to rest in Christ in the New Covenant for he that believeth is entered into Christ the rest and ceased from his own works as God did from his Know therefore this day and consider in thine heart Mark in thine heart that the Lord he is God in Heaven above and upon the Earth beneath there is none else so with the Spirit of God ye may know him in Heaven and know him in Earth and thou shalt keep therefore his Statutes and his Commandments which I command you this day that it may go well with thee and thy Children after thee that thou mayst prolong thy days upon the Earth Here again you may see what care the Lord takes for his People and his Children Deut. 39 40. And you may see in Nehemiah 5.5 how they complained of them and their Children their Sons and Daughters were brought into Bondage because of going astray from the Lords Commandments And in Nehamiah 9. how they had rebelled against the good Spirit of the Lord that he gave them to instruct them And is not this the cause now that Christians are in Confusion for rebelling against Gods good Spirit though they may make an outward Profession of the New Testament as the Jews did of the Old Thus saith the Lord in Isa 49. Behold I lift up my hand to the Gentiles and set up my Standard to the People And is not this Standard Christ And they shall bring their Sons in their Arms and thy Daughters shall be carryed upon their shoulders And where do they carry their Children and their Sons and Daughters is it not to Christ who teacheth them and blesseth them The Lord saith I will make all my Mountains a high way and my high way shall be exalted And is not God and Christs High-way his Light that is the path of the Just and High-way to the Perfect day And Kings shall be Nursing-Fathers and Queens Nursing-Mothers And that will be a happy day when they come to nurse Christs Chickens Doves Lambs Babes and little Children Then Persecution will cease for not taking Oathes and Swearing and for not Paying of Tythes and for not going to the Worship at Temples made with hands and then Christs Doctrine will be obeyed who saith Swear not at all but let your Yea be Yea and your Nay Nay c. And then every one that hath received freely from Christ will give it freely as he commands then every one will know their Bodies are the Temples of the Living God and then every one will walk in the Light Gods High-way which shall be exalted and in it they have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Christ the Son of God cleanseth you from all sin And Isaiah 54. All thy Children shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of thy Children that are taught of the Lord in Righteousness shall they be established that are taught of the Lord Thou shalt be far from oppression thou shalt not fear and from Terror for it shall not come nigh thee that art taught of the Lord Behold they shall gather but not by me so then it is by the Wicked Spirit whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake that are taught of the Lord no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against thee in Judgment thou shalt condemn c. This is the Heritage of the Servants of the Lord and the Righteousness is of me saith the Lord. And in 1 Kings 2.4 David saith That the Lord may confirm his Word which he spake concerning me saying If thy Children take heed to their way to walk before me in Truth with all their hearts and with all their Souls there shall not fail thee said he a man to sit on the Throne of Israel See that thy Children take heed to their way and walk before me as thou hast walked before me to wit David Now here you may see that not walking in the Truth before the Lord with all their Souls and their hearts made such Confusion among the Jews and likewise makes or hath made such confusion among the Christians for not walking before God in the Truth kept them off the Throne of Israel and therefore Children are to succeed their Fathers Path in the Truth if they will be accepted and exalted by the Lord and if they do enjoy the Comfort of the Lord as their Fathers did with the Promise as in 1 Kings 2.4 8.25 In Micah 2. he d●clareth against their Oppression and reproves the Jews for their Injustice and Idolatry and saith The Women of my people have you cast out from their houses from the Children have ye taken away my Glory to wit the Lords for Children are the Lords heritage and he hath a glory in them And Jo●● declareth sundry Judgments of God and exhorts the Jews to observe them and bids the Old men tell their Children of it and let your Children tell their Children and let their Children tell another Generation See what care was here and watches set up that Childrens Children might escape the Judgments of God by their walking in the Truth and keeping to the Lord with all their hearts and Children which were the Lords Heritage were to warn and tell one another to walk in the fear and way of the Lord with their whole hearts that he may have his Glory in them and their Children which are his
