to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o read_v if_o not_o encourage_v and_o oblige_v thereunto_o by_o their_o parent_n and_o master_n so_o that_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a to_o find_v where_o there_o be_v no_o performance_n of_o family_n religion_n that_o the_o child_n and_o servant_n belong_v to_o it_o be_v not_o notorious_o ignorant_a and_o immoral_a for_o these_o reason_n i_o

be_v find_v if_o we_o shall_v look_v back_o into_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o decay_n of_o christian_a piety_n in_o family_n that_o the_o neglect_n of_o family_n religion_n have_v its_o date_n from_o
