The School of GRACE Or A Book of Good Nurture for the Admonition and Instruction of Youth and Age in the fear of the Lord. With Godly Instructions Graces Prayâ—rs describing the whole Duty of a Christian By I. Hart B. B. The 19th Edition Fear God Honour the King. Printed for W. Thackeray and I. Par singer Come ye Children hearken unto me and I will teach you the fear oâ— the Lord Psalm 34.11 Ephes 6.1 2 3 4 5 6. â—hildren obey your Parents in the Lord for this is right â—onour thy Father and Mother Which is the first Commandment with promise â—…t it is may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the Earth â—…l ye Fathers provoke not your Children to wrath but bring them up in the Nurture and Admonition of the Lord. THe Blessed Apostle in the former Chapter having laid down several Chistian duties in the general comes here to assert and lay down the several Duties 1. Of Husbands and Wives 2. Of Children and Parents 3. Of Masters and Servants These words contain the particular Duties of Children and Parents Children obey your Parent here is the Childrens Duty Secondly here is the manner of performance of this Duty in the Lord Children obey your Parents in the Lord. In the next place the Apostle does lay down several Reasons and motives to encourage Christian Children to this Chistian Duty 1. It is GODS Commandment so to do Honour thy Father and Mother 2. It is very beneficial for Children so to do for first it shall be well with them if they do so and secondly their days shall be long upon the Earth In the second place we have here the duty of Parents First Negatively what Parents should not by And then secondly Affirmatively what they should do 1. Negatively they should not provoke their Children to Wrath. And 2. Affirmatively They must bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. From the words thus opened I gather these two Observations 1. That it is the duty of Children to obey their Parents in the Lord. 2. That it is the duty of Parents to Educate instruct and bring up their Children in the fear of the Lord. Hearken to thy Father that begat thee with Solomon and despise not thy Mother when she is old Prov. 23.22 Train up a Child in his Youth saith Solomon in the way he should go and he will not depart from it Prov. 22.6 Now that I may the better enforce this Duty I shall a little open the particular duties of both For one main reason why Children do so much neglect their Duty is because Parents are so negligent of their own Duties for it Parents did take more care as their Duty is to bring up their Children in the fear of God surely Children would make more Conscience of performing their duty to their Parents And that Children and Parents for the time to come may the better perform their Duties I shall say down sundry Christian and Bodly Directions suitable to all persons upon all occasions and so conclude with some few patierns of Prayers and Graces for the better benesit and Instruction of Children in the seat of God. The first Duty of Parents is That they give their Children Christian Baptism and thereby to Dedicate them unto the Lord. Secondly Give unto your Children good Examples for Children are prone by nature to follow the had Example of any more especially their Parents Thirdly Pray unto God for a Blessing upon thy Children that God would make them his Children by enriching their Souls with Grace Fourthly Learn to instruct them be times by some good Catechisms in the Principles of Christian Religion and to Instruction wisely and Correction For he that spareth the Rod saith Solomon hateth his Child but he that loveth him Chastneth him Fifthly Keep a constant and awful Authority over them not suffeting them to be irrevetent for this end according to antient and laudible custom teech them reverently to ask thee blessing on their Knees Sixthly Labour to suppress all Sin and wickedness in thy Children and to this end suffer them not to lye swear curse or prophane the Lords day else will thy Children have cause to curse thee to all Eternity We find it recorded in Scripture of Goodly Parents Educating their Children in the fear of the Lord Abraham commanded his Children and Servants Gen. 8.16 So likewise Joshua and holy David Job and others The Godly Life of the Child discovers the Godliness of the Parents and thus if thou labourest to bring up thy Children in the fear of God that thy Children may be Gods Children how Gloriously then have you provided for them God is their Father and they that have God for their Father shall never want for as the Apostle saith Godliness is profitable having the promise of the Life that now is and the Life to come Though thou leavess but a little of this World yet remember God hath provided a Kingdom for them that serve him Lastly Cause thy Children friquently to frequent the Ordinances of Christ both publique and private do not only pray with them and for them but cause them to pray for themselves and one for another bring them constantly to hear the publick Preaching of the word of God and be assured by the blessing of God your Children may be inriched with Grace here and filled with glory hereafter and in so doing thou may'st have joy and comfort God may have Glory and honour and thy Children Everlasting life through Iesus Christ Now the Duty of Children to their Parents in the first place you see is Obedience Children obey your Parents in the Lord And this obedience of Children to their Parents you see it must be in the Lord and only in the Lord for if Parents command their Children to do any thing contrary to the Word of God then hey are not to obey them they sin in so doing for remember we must obey God rather than Man. Children are to learn good Instructions from their Parents My Son saith Solomon hear the Instruction of thy Father and forfake not the law of thy Mother Prov. 1.1 c. 3. Children are to honour and reverence their Parents Honour thy Father and thy Mâ—…her saith the Lord Honour thy Parents by thy modest silent humble and respective carriage towards them Fourthly Children ought to be thankful to their Parents endeavouting if need be to requite them for their Fatherly love and care towards them honouring relieving and supplying them in all their several needs and necessities And thus much briefly of the Duries of Parents and Children I come now in the next place to give you some directions and instructions for the better performance of those several Duties And my first advice to Children is that they make daily Prayers to God. How precious a thing is it to hear Children praying and low dreadful a thing to hear them Swearing and Cursing as soon as they can speak God loves
