and_o when_o they_o be_v young_a so_o that_o it_o be_v both_o easy_a for_o i_o to_o do_v and_o they_o to_o get_v over_o and_o when_o i_o find_v any_o thing_n of_o stubbornness_n get_v up_o in_o they_o contrary_a to_o the_o counsel_n and_o advice_n i_o have_v give_v they_o i_o do_v not_o let_v foolish_a pity_n prevent_v due_a admonition_n and_o correction_n though_o i_o dear_o and_o tender_o do_v and_o do_v love_v they_o all_o but_o some_o spoil_n their_o child_n in_o let_v they_o have_v their_o will_n so_o much_o that_o they_o become_v disobedient_a ●nd_n rebellious_a and_o so_o give_v away_o their_o power_n so_o much_o to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o child_n and_o lessen_v their_o authority_n that_o as_o sometime_o i_o have_v hear_v to_o the_o grief_n of_o my_o soul_n parent_n say_v to_o their_o child_n do_v such_o a_o thing_n they_o have_v reply_v i_o will_v not_o and_o whether_o ought_v the_o child_n that_o do_v not_o yet_o understand_v what_o be_v good_a either_o for_o its_o soul_n or_o body_n to_o have_v its_o will_n or_o ought_v not_o the_o parent_n rather_o to_o constrain_v they_o to_o do_v what_o they_o know_v be_v good_a for_o they_o though_o they_o be_v stiff_a and_o

in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o account_n i_o say_v my_o great_a concern_n be_v many_o time_n how_o i_o may_v train_v up_o my_o child_n as_o do_v become_v the_o truth_n chief_o in_o what_o may_v be_v good_a for_o their_o soul_n rely_v upon_o god_n providence_n for_o other_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v see_v good_a and_o as_o they_o come_v up_o in_o their_o tender_a year_n one_o after_o another_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n i_o labour_v what_o in_o i_o lay_v not_o only_o by_o advice_n and_o counsel_n and_o timely_a endeavour_n to_o restrain_v the_o wild_a and_o stubborn_a nature_n and_o keep_v they_o out_o of_o and_o from_o every_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o evil_a tendency_n in_o it_o but_o also_o what_o in_o i_o lay_v to_o beget_v love_n in_o they_o to_o truth_n and_o friend_n and_o one_o to_o another_o and_o so_o as_o they_o grow_v up_o in_o year_n do_v encourage_v they_o to_o go_v to_o meeting_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v say_v without_o offence_n my_o endeavour_n with_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o good_a effect_n in_o my_o child_n to_o this_o day_n i_o bless_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o and_o i_o never_o dare_v put_v they_o forward_o to_o play_n as_o some_o do_v and_o when_o they_o have_v a_o capacity_n educate_v they_o in_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o friend_n book_n and_o always_o have_v and_o have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v they_o out_o of_o the_o vain_a fashion_n of_o the_o world_n neither_o can_v i_o ever_o suffer_v they_o to_o go_v to_o see_v or_o behold_v any_o sport_n game_n or_o pastime_n or_o play_n that_o tend_v to_o

in_o parent_n before_o their_o child_n be_v a_o want_v though_o such_o parent_n may_v profess_v the_o truth_n it_o tend_v to_o drive_v their_o child_n far_o from_o it_o and_o harden_v their_o heart_n
