of_o they_o and_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o they_o which_o be_v peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o everlasting_a salvation_n they_o acquaint_v they_o with_o the_o

that_o the_o heart_n must_v be_v engage_v in_o prayer_n and_o that_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n must_v be_v mix_v with_o faith_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o have_v good_a parent_n

many_o find_v it_o and_o that_o all_o that_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n go_v thither_o and_o so_o bid_v they_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_n wicked_a parent_n be_v ignorant_a and_o leave_v their_o child_n ignorant_a of_o they_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o have_v godly_a parent_n chap._n iu._n other_o reason_n they_o be_v encourage_v in_o good_a and_o discourage_v from_o

every_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a good_a parent_n do_v not_o only_o acquaint_v their_o child_n with_o the_o command_n of_o god_n but_o do_v daily_o exhort_v they_o to_o obey_v they_o they_o tell_v they_o what_o be_v their_o duty_n and_o diligent_o persuade_v they_o to_o perform_v they_o and_o they_o also_o encourage_v they_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v to_o acquaint_v they_o with_o god_n mind_n but_o study_v all_o sort_n of_o argument_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o obedience_n wicked_a parent_n do_v not_o exhort_v their_o child_n to_o holiness_n but_o at_o best_o to_o some_o outward_a form_n of_o religion_n and_o if_o they_o find_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n in_o their_o soul_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o hate_v they_o and_o instead_o of_o encourage_v they_o they_o discourage_v they_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n the_o five_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n because_o such_o be_v warn_v against_o all_o evil_a watch_v over_o least_o they_o shall_v run_v to_o evil_n and_o always_o discourage_v in_o whatsoever_o be_v evil_a and_o if_o nothing_o will_v do_v than_o they_o correct_v they_o know_v how_o god_n use_v to_o bless_v the_o correction_n of_o his_o child_n prov._n 22.17_o correct_v thy_o son_n and_o he_o shall_v give_v thou_o rest_v yea_o he_o shall_v give_v delight_n to_o thy_o soul_n that_o be_v god_n will_v bless_v thy_o due_a correction_n that_o thou_o shall_v find_v a_o satisfactory_a fruit_n arise_v from_o it_o or_o however_o thou_o shall_v find_v rest_n in_o do_v the_o duty_n such_o parent_n know_v that_o the_o rod_n and_o reprooss_n give_v wisdom_n prov._n 29.15_o therefore_o rather_o than_o their_o child_n shall_v spend_v their_o day_n in_o folly_n they_o will_v give_v they_o correction_n they_o love_v the_o soul_n of_o their_o child_n and_o therefore_o rather_o than_o they_o shall_v be_v lose_v they_o will_v correct_v they_o follow_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n prov._n 23.13_o 14._o withhold_a not_o correction_n from_o the_o child_n for_o if_o thou_o beat_v he_o with_o the_o rod_n he_o shall_v not_o die_v thou_o shall_v beat_v he_o with_o the_o rod_n and_o shall_v deliver_v his_o soul_n from_o hell_n that_o be_v god_n will_v bless_v correction_n to_o save_v

principle_n they_o against_o sin_n and_o correct_v they_o for_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v a_o special_a mercy_n but_o wicked_a parent_n do_v not_o discourage_v their_o child_n nor_o correct_v they_o for_o displease_v god_n although_o they_o may_v correct_v they_o overmuch_o to_o please_v their_o own_o humour_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o have_v good_a parent_n the_o six_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n because_o the_o saint_n be_v continual_o pray_v for_o they_o i_o suppose_v that_o godly_a parent_n do_v go_v themselves_o and_o bring_v their_o child_n to_o the_o society_n of_o godly_a people_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n pray_v for_o they_o now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mercy_n if_o you_o consider_v how_o the_o saint_n prayer_n do_v prevail_v with_o god_n and_o how_o often_o he_o hear_v they_o and_o answer_v they_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n chap._n v._o other_o reason_n they_o have_v holy_a example_n to_o teach_v they_o they_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o their_o father_n expertence_n they_o be_v in_o scripture_n call_v bless_v the_o seven_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n because_o such_o have_v holy_a example_n lay_v before_o they_o good_a parent_n take_v special_a care_n to_o say_v no_o stumbbling-block_n before_o their_o child_n but_o live_v up_o to_o the_o inst_z uction_n they_o give_v they_o they_o labour_v to_o be_v a_o example_n to_o their_o child_n in_o word_n avoid_v all_o vain_a and_o foolish_a word_n in_o conversation_n walk_v holy_o according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n in_o charity_n that_o be_v full_a of_o love_n and_o pity_n to_o poor_a creature_n live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o in_o spirit_n upright_a and_o sincere_a in_o spirit_n full_a of_o zeal_n and_o fervency_n in_o faith_n have_v a_o holy_a unfeigned_a faith_n in_o purity_n be_v pure_a in_o all_o their_o carriage_n 1_o tim._n 4.12_o so_o prov._n 29.7_o the_o just_a man_n walk_v in_o his_o integrity_n his_o child_n be_v bless_v after_o he_o his_o upright_a walk_n and_o holy_a practice_n conduce_v to_o their_o happiness_n and_o further_o they_o take_v care_n to_o bring_v their_o child_n to_o such_o place_n and_o company_n as_o may_v give_v they_o holy_a example_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o conduce_v more_o to_o work_v good_a on_o other_o than_o holy_a example_n especial_o the_o holy_a example_n of_o parent_n conduce_v to_o the_o good_a of_o their_o child_n wicked_a parent_n give_v evil_a example_n to_o their_o child_n they_o swear_v curse_n lie_v cheat_z slight_a the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n drink_v to_o excess_n riot_n hate_n and_o persecute_v god_n child_n and_o run_v to_o all_o m●nner_n of_o wickedness_n keep_v wicked_a company_n and_o thereby_o teach_v their_o child_n to_o do_v so_o also_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o good_a parent_n the_o eight_o reason_n the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n be_v in_o scripture_n call_v bless_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o be_v such_o child_n prov._n 20.7_o his_o child_n be_v

be_v a_o mercy_n when_o man_n teach_v experience_n such_o parent_n will_v tell_v their_o child_n that_o they_o have_v try_v sin_n and_o find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n that_o they_o try_v the_o world_n and_o find_v no_o satisfaction_n that_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o be_v vain_a that_o they_o have_v find_v much_o satisfaction_n much_o real_a joy_n and_o comfort_n in_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o in_o obey_v his_o command_n that_o they_o have_v find_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o be_v

a_o relation_n to_o he_o and_o he_o pray_v that_o as_o long_o as_o any_o of_o they_o dwell_v upon_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n they_o may_v be_v bless_v so_o do_v godly_a person_n pray_v for_o their_o child_n be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n to_o have_v parent_n that_o will_v daily_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o we_o as_o job_n do_v for_o his_o child_n job_n 1.5_o you_o may_v have_v have_v

you_o can_v or_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o yourselves_o and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o great_a mercy_n while_o wicked_a person_n dedicate_v their_o child_n to_o the_o service_n of_o satan_n godly_a parent_n when_o god_n give_v they_o child_n dedicate_v they_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o faith_n give_v they_o to_o be_v his_o child_n for_o ever_o as_o hanna_n do_v samuel_n 1._o sam._n 1.26_o 27_o 28._o therefore_o i_o have_v lend_v he_o to_o the_o lord_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v that_o be_v the_o child_n that_o god_n have_v give_v i_o i_o give_v to_o god_n to_o worship_v he_o for_o ever_o thus_o do_v all_o godly_a parent_n when_o god_n give_v they_o child_n they_o give_v they_o to_o worship_n and_o serve_v god_n this_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mercy_n if_o you_o consider_v how_o acceptable_a the_o prayer_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v to_o god_n the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v a_o abomination_n but_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v a_o

to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o such_o parent_n the_o three_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n because_o such_o child_n be_v instruct_v in_o good_a thing_n especial_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o fundamental_o of_o religion_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o instruction_n they_o begin_v to_o instruct_v he_o

2_o tim._n 3.15_o wicked_a parent_n leave_v their_o child_n in_o ignorance_n or_o instruct_v they_o in_o superstition_n and_o vanity_n but_o the_o godly_a instruct_v their_o child_n in_o the_o
