crave_v of_o pardon_n and_o example_n of_o this_o we_o have_v in_o that_o virtuous_a and_o fair_a speak_v matron_n abigail_n as_o we_o may_v read_v 1._o sam._n 25._o where_o she_o take_v upon_o her_o

fall_v at_o his_o foot_n and_o say_v oh_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v commit_v the_o iniquity_n and_o i_o pray_v thou_o let_v thy_o handmaid_n speak_v unto_o thou_o let_v not_o my_o lord_n i_o pray_v thou_o regard_v this_o wicked_a man_n nabal_n for_o as_o his_o name_n be_v so_o be_v he_o nabal_n be_v his_o name_n and_o folly_n be_v with_o he_o etc._n etc._n then_o david_n say_v to_o abigail_n bless_a be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n which_o send_v thou_o this_o day_n to_o meet_v i_o and_o bless_v be_v thy_o counsel_n and_o bless_v be_v thou_o which_o have_v keep_v i_o this_o day_n from_o come_v to_o shed_v blood_n and_o that_o my_o hand_n have_v not_o save_v i_o etc._n etc._n oh_o that_o man_n see_v what_o great_a danger_n they_o draw_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o may_v prevent_v and_o also_o what_o gracious_a blessing_n they_o may_v procure_v both_o to_o themselves_o and_o other_o by_o mean_n of_o it_o as_o this_o virtuous_a abigail_n keep_v david_n from_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n save_v she_o own_o life_n with_o the_o life_n of_o all_o her_o family_n and_o in_o the_o end_n be_v receive_v to_o be_v a_o prince_n wife_n for_o the_o

for_o

if_o they_o see_v they_o poor_a or_o sick_a they_o sorrow_n and_o sigh_n but_o though_o they_o see_v they_o sin_n they_o sorrow_n not_o and_o in_o this_o they_o show_v that_o they_o bring_v forth_o the_o body_n of_o their_o child_n but_o not_o their_o soul_n 3._o the_o three_o vice_n be_v commit_v of_o such_o poor_a parent_n which_o make_v no_o great_a choice_n with_o what_o master_n &_o dame_n they_o place_v their_o child_n so_o they_o have_v meat_n and_o drink_n enough_o and_o wage_n thereto_o competent_a and_o be_v neither_o back_n beat_v nor_o belie_v beat_v as_o they_o say_v alas_o such_o poor_a child_n while_o they_o serve_v for_o their_o belly_n they_o may_v lose_v their_o soul_n because_o they_o want_v godly_a master_n and_o dame_n to_o give_v they_o wholesome_a instruction_n to_o hold_v they_o in_o by_o good_a example_n and_o to_o govern_v they_o continual_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o here_o let_v all_o parent_n learn_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o master_n and_o dame_n for_o their_o child_n as_o be_v godly_a and_o religious_a wise_a heart_a such_o as_o be_v both_o able_a &_o well_o dispose_v to_o train_v up_o

convenient_o they_o may_v repair_v unto_o they_o and_o see_v how_o they_o profit_v and_o hold_v they_o up_o by_o their_o good_a counsel_n &_o be_v careful_a to_o entreat_v those_o which_o have_v the_o government_n of_o they_o to_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o in_o this_o chief_a point_n above_o the_o rest_n 18.21_o for_o as_o solomon_n say_v life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o tongue_n so_o we_o may_v well_o say_v life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o the_o education_n of_o our_o child_n if_o they_o be_v well_o bring_v up_o it_o shall_v be_v life_n unto_o they_o but_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o they_o be_v train_v up_o to_o everlasting_a death_n 4._o the_o four_o vice_n be_v the_o fault_n of_o many_o master_n &_o dame_n who_o make_v no_o further_a reckon_n of_o their_o servant_n then_o they_o do_v of_o their_o brute_n beast_n for_o so_o long_o as_o their_o work_n and_o business_n be_v well_o do_v by_o they_o they_o care_v for_o no_o more_o and_o they_o will_v teach_v they_o no_o further_o than_o may_v serve_v for_o their_o own_o turn_n and_o benefit_n that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o profitable_a servant_n unto_o they_o such_o master_n make_v their_o servant_n drudge_n to_o the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o life_n of_o such_o youth_n die_v while_o it_o shoot_v up_o all_o these_o sin_n and_o trespass_n against_o this_o commandment_n of_o the_o heavenly_a father_n because_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o good_a nurture_n and_o godly_a instruction_n now_o have_v show_v what_o parent_n and_o all_o other_o governor_n of_o youth_n be_v to_o shun_v in_o the_o education_n of_o child_n and_o servant_n we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v to_o show_v wherein_o this_o careful_a and_o diligent_a instruction_n be_v to_o be_v
