and_o his_o family_n and_o hinder_v much_o idleness_n and_o wickedness_n the_o second_o thing_n wherein_o household_n service_n stand_v be_v daily_a invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o

themselves_o than_o david_n job_n and_o daniel_n wherefore_o as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o have_v be_v praise_v throughout_o all_o generation_n so_o let_v every_o master_n of_o a_o house_n take_v order_n that_o it_o may_v be_v do_v in_o his_o family_n in_o the_o morning_n when_o we_o have_v be_v keep_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o dangerous_a night_n and_o when_o we_o be_v to_o go_v forth_o to_o our_o labour_n what_o more_o fit_a than_o to_o go_v forth_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thou_o desire_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v bless_v thy_o business_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o thy_o servant_n therefore_o let_v they_o join_v with_o thou_o in_o prayer_n this_o family-prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v early_o in_o the_o morning_n when_o all_o the_o family_n which_o be_v in_o

be_v that_o which_o hinder_v many_o master_n that_o they_o can_v pray_v with_o their_o family_n another_o set_a time_n of_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o evening_n when_o the_o family_n return_v

and_o to_o pray_v for_o protection_n in_o the_o night_n many_o have_v go_v well_o to_o their_o bed_n and_o be_v find_v dead_a in_o the_o morning_n therefore_o i_o think_v none_o shall_v be_v so_o

he_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o look_v to_o the_o well_o order_v of_o his_o whole_a family_n though_o they_o be_v many_o in_o number_n from_o joshua_n i_o descend_v to_o
