where_o the_o house_n itself_o be_v but_o little_a therefore_o i_o will_v say_v somewhat_o brief_o to_o you_o as_o you_o may_v be_v consider_v under_o a_o twofold_a distinction_n then_o to_o you_o all_o in_o general_n 1._o some_o of_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n other_o be_v not_o 2._o some_o of_o you_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o apprenticeship_n and_o service_n and_o with_o

i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o you_o have_v have_v the_o advantage_n of_o your_o parent_n gracious_a instruction_n holy_a example_n and_o fervent_a prayer_n have_v you_o forget_v what_o charge_n they_o lay_v upon_o you_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n much_o like_a to_o that_o of_o david_n to_o solomon_n 1_o chron._n 28._o 9_o and_o thou_o solomon_n my_o son_n know_v thou_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o

it_o will_v be_v no_o small_a aggravation_n of_o your_o sin_n if_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o righteous_a seed_n perhaps_o beside_o your_o immediate_a parent_n your_o forefather_n and_o ancestor_n be_v such_o as_o walk_v with_o god_n in_o their_o several_a generation_n and_o so_o godliness_n have_v through_o free_a grace_n be_v as_o it_o be_v entail_v upon_o your_o house_n from_o one_o age_n to_o another_o now_o what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v if_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v cut_v off_o the_o entail_v of_o godliness_n or_o that_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n who_o parent_n
