parent_n there_o be_v too_o many_o and_o too_o intricate_a circumstance_n to_o be_v consider_v before_o one_o can_v decisive_o pronounce_v on_o such_o matter_n but_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v the_o safe_a for_o this_o uncertainty_n and_o doubt_n the_o child_n shall_v unquestionable_o suffer_v for_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o the_o parent_n as_o unquestionable_o for_o their_o neglect_n they_o have_v both_o of_o they_o gild_n enough_o and_o both_o of_o they_o shall_v have_v enough_o of_o punishment_n the_o one_o for_o not_o have_v do_v what_o they_o shall_v the_o other_o for_o do_v what_o they_o shall_v not_o not_o that_o after_o all_o the_o care_n and_o discipline_n and_o early_a chastisement_n the_o parent_n be_v secure_a of_o the_o event_n but_o secure_a of_o himself_o and_o his_o design_n he_o have_v do_v his_o duty_n and_o must_v leave_v the_o issue_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o of_o god_n he_o have_v take_v the_o natural_a ready_a reasonable_a and_o usual_a and_o appoint_v mean_n

hereaster_n see_v and_o feel_v the_o effect_n of_o all_o this_o careful_a discipline_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o the_o government_n of_o your_o passion_n in_o temperance_n in_o chastity_n in_o

because_o you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o state_n of_o freedom_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o your_o discipline_n that_o age_n have_v no_o such_o charm_n in_o it_o as_o you_o imagine_v and_o when_o
