be_v say_v before_o they_o can_v be_v so_o much_o the_o joy_n and_o delight_n of_o one_o another_o but_o when_o they_o lie_v down_o this_o make_v they_o water_v their_o bed_n with_o tear_n and_o they_o awake_v with_o sorrow_n with_o a_o wicked_a child_n on_o their_o heart_n 2._o they_o can_v take_v so_o much_o comfort_n as_o they_o will_v in_o the_o other_o child_n that_o be_v godly_a not_o that_o they_o love_v they_o less_o but_o rather_o more_o but_o their_o joy_n in_o they_o be_v much_o interrupt_v hereby_o suppose_v among_o many_o child_n there_o be_v but_o one_o ungodly_a child_n that_o one_o be_v a_o disturbance_n and_o annoyance_n to_o the_o whole_a family_n that_o one_o sinner_n as_o solomon_n speak_v in_o a_o more_o general_a case_n destroy_v much_o good_a it_o grieve_v they_o to_o think_v that_o whereas_o that_o one_o child_n be_v in_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o have_v the_o same_o dedication_n to_o god_n by_o baptism_n and_o the_o same_o affection_n and_o

and_o reign_v in_o the_o child_n 4._o this_o interrupt_v their_o joy_n in_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n when_o such_o parent_n must_v with_o the_o same_o faith_n believe_v god_n wrath_n to_o their_o child_n as_o they_o believe_v his_o love_n to_o themselves_o and_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o their_o father_n they_o must_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o enemy_n to_o their_o child_n and_o when_o they_o say_v we_o hope_v heaven_n be_v our_o portion_n and_o place_n it_o must_v grieve_v they_o that_o their_o child_n will_v not_o go_v with_o they_o thither_o six_o the_o greatness_n of_o this_o affliction_n appear_v further_a by_o the_o concommitant_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o three_o thing_n that_o usual_o accompany_v it_o which_o make_v it_o more_o grievous_a 1._o such_o child_n do_v often_o impoverish_v their_o parent_n solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o wicked_a child_n waste_v his_o father_n and_o chase_v away_o his_o mother_n such_o child_n care_v not_o if_o they_o starve_v their_o poor_a parent_n so_o that_o they_o can_v feed_v their_o own_o lust_n and_o it_o be_v often_o see_v that_o a_o plentiful_a estate_n be_v consume_v by_o riotous_a child_n 2._o such_o child_n do_v often_o debauch_v and_o corrupt_v the_o other_o child_n and_o make_v their_o brethren_n in_o nature_n to_o be_v their_o brethren_n in_o iniquity_n and_o often_o their_o brother_n and_o sister_n be_v easy_a entice_v to_o sin_n by_o a_o wicked_a brother_n than_o draw_v to_o god_n by_o a_o godly_a father_n and_o if_o any_o of_o the_o other_o child_n be_v godly_a these_o wicked_a one_o do_v hate_n and_o revile_v and_o persecute_v they_o like_o wicked_a cain_n who_o slay_v his_o brother_n because_o his_o work_n be_v righteous_a 3._o they_o bring_v reproach_n upon_o that_o good_a religion_n which_o their_o good_a parent_n profess_v and_o practice_v and_o thus_o eli_n son_n make_v man_n abhor_v the_o offering_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o with_o some_o the_o holy_a life_n of_o the_o parent_n can_v wipe_v off_o the_o reproach_n which_o be_v cast_v on_o religion_n by_o the_o wickedness_n of_o their_o child_n seven_o the_o greatness_n of_o this_o affliction_n appear_v by_o these_o eight_o aggravation_n of_o it_o 1._o it_o aggravate_v their_o grief_n to_o remember_v what_o pleasure_n and_o delight_v these_o child_n be_v to_o they_o in_o their_o childhood_n it_o torment_v they_o now_o to_o see_v their_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a smile_n turn_v into_o scornful_a and_o disdainful_a look_n at_o their_o parent_n and_o their_o pretty_a break_a word_n turn_v into_o oath_n and_o lie_n and_o other_o rot_a speech_n and_o to_o think_v that_o these_o who_o once_o be_v so_o forward_o to_o clasp_v about_o their_o neck_n and_o to_o kiss_v they_o and_o to_o run_v at_o their_o command_n do_v now_o lift_v up_o the_o heel_n against_o they_o 2._o it_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n to_o see_v themselves_o so_o miserable_o disappoint_v in_o their_o former_a hope_n of_o these_o child_n hope_v defer_v say_v solomon_n make_v the_o heart_n sick_a but_o to_o be_v cross_v and_o disappoint_v in_o hope_n of_o so_o great_a mercy_n do_v even_o break_v the_o heart_n when_o these_o parent_n remember_v how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v to_o they_o to_o hear_v these_o child_n lisp_v out_o their_o catechism_n and_o to_o hear_v their_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n it_o can_v but_o be_v very_o grievous_a to_o they_o that_o the_o same_o child_n which_o they_o do_v with_o hannah_n lend_v to_o the_o lord_n shall_v sell_v themselves_o to_o the_o devil_n 3._o it_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n that_o their_o child_n be_v so_o void_a of_o love_n to_o their_o parent_n and_o to_o see_v that_o the_o company_n of_o liar_n and_o drunkard_n and_o whoremonger_n and_o thief_n be_v more_o delightful_a to_o they_o than_o the_o company_n of_o their_o parent_n 4._o it_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n to_o look_v upon_o the_o holy_a child_n of_o other_o when_o they_o may_v say_v yonder_o be_v child_n that_o make_v a_o glad_a father_n and_o mother_n when_o the_o child_n of_o our_o body_n and_o counsel_n and_o prayer_n and_o vow_n and_o tear_n live_v as_o if_o their_o father_n be_v a_o amorite_n and_o their_o mother_n a_o hittite_n 5._o aggravation_n be_v in_o case_n the_o parent_n have_v but_o one_o child_n and_o that_o prove_v foolish_a and_o disobedient_a and_o of_o this_o there_o be_v many_o instance_n the_o scripture_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o sad_a kind_n of_o mourning_n compare_v it_o to_o the_o mourning_n for_o a_o only_a son_n jer._n 6.26_o make_v thou_o mourning_n as_o for_o a_o only_a son_n most_o bitter_a lamentation_n zech._n 12.10_o they_o shall_v mourn_v as_o one_o that_o mourn_v for_o a_o only_a son_n i_o know_v these_o scripture_n speak_v of_o parent_n mourn_v for_o the_o death_n of_o a_o only_a son_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o sad_a to_o follow_v a_o only_a son_n to_o the_o grave_n as_o to_o see_v a_o only_a child_n live_v to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o curse_n to_o his_o generation_n and_o to_o be_v continual_o destroy_v his_o precious_a soul_n it_o be_v a_o very_a bitter_a case_n when_o as_o much_o love_n and_o kindness_n and_o care_n and_o cost_n and_o pain_n and_o prayer_n and_o fasting_n be_v bestow_v upon_o one_o child_n as_o other_o parent_n bestow_v upon_o many_o child_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o one_o child_n shall_v prove_v such_o a_o monster_n of_o wickedness_n as_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o ungodly_a child_n meet_v in_o he_o 6._o aggravation_n when_o god_n holy_a minister_n be_v the_o father_n of_o fool_n which_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o often_o happen_v and_o this_o be_v a_o most_o dreadful_a case_n for_o such_o who_o have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o yet_o must_v bind_v over_o their_o own_o child_n to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n such_o know_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n more_o than_o other_o and_o therefore_o must_v be_v more_o affect_v to_o believe_v that_o this_o at_o present_a be_v the_o portion_n of_o their_o own_o child_n 7._o aggravation_n when_o such_o child_n who_o their_o parent_n design_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v prove_v ungodly_a this_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a lamentation_n for_o the_o parent_n to_o intend_v they_o for_o the_o high_a office_n in_o the_o church_n and_o give_v they_o education_n for_o that_o end_n that_o these_o child_n shall_v make_v themselves_o as_o salt_n without_o savour_n which_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o tread_v under_o foot_n of_o man_n 8._o aggravation_n when_o child_n be_v a_o grief_n to_o their_o parent_n in_o their_o old_a age_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v throw_v dirt_n upon_o their_o hoary_a head_n which_o be_v their_o crown_n of_o glory_n it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n prov._n 23.22_o despise_v not_o thy_o mother_n when_o she_o be_v old_a solomon_n tell_v we_o eccles_n 12._o that_o the_o day_n of_o old_a age_n be_v evil_a day_n their_o very_a age_n be_v a_o troublesome_a and_o incurable_a disease_n now_o the_o grasshopper_n every_o light_a thing_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v more_o troublesome_a to_o they_o to_o be_v then_o torment_v with_o wicked_a child_n when_o the_o strong_a man_n as_o divine_n think_v solomon_n call_v the_o leg_n do_v

your_o own_o heart_n and_o conscience_n know_v you_o and_o will_v awake_v out_o of_o their_o present_a sleep_n to_o condemn_v and_o sting_v you_o and_o god_n who_o be_v great_a than_o all_o know_v
