bow_n themselves_o and_o their_o child_n who_o shall_v be_v a_o staff_n and_o support_v to_o they_o do_v break_v their_o heart_n and_o cause_v their_o grey-hair_n to_o go_v with_o sorrow_n to_o the_o grave_n i_o now_o come_v to_o make_v application_n of_o this_o discourse_n use_v 1_o let_v such_o parent_n praise_n and_o honour_n god_n who_o god_n have_v bless_v with_o wise_a and_o holy_a and_o obedient_a child_n whether_o by_o those_o word_n in_o psal_n 144.12_o david_n mean_v child_n accomplish_v with_o natural_a or_o spiritual_a endowment_n or_o both_o i_o shall_v not_o determine_v but_o to_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o you_o that_o when_o so_o many_o child_n be_v as_o noisome_a weed_n your_o son_n shall_v be_v as_o hopeful_a plant_n grow_v up_o in_o their_o youth_n and_o when_o so_o many_o make_v themselves_o ugly_a and_o deform_v with_o sin_n your_o daughter_n shall_v be_v as_o corner-stone_n in_o which_o be_v see_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o building_n and_o the_o art_n and_o skill_n of_o the_o workman_n polish_v after_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o palace_n do_v not_o hence_o conclude_v that_o you_o be_v better_a parent_n than_o other_o or_o have_v have_v more_o care_n in_o the_o education_n of_o your_o child_n than_o other_o but_o ascribe_v all_o to_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n who_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n 2._o let_v none_o presume_v to_o censure_v godly_a parent_n for_o their_o wicked_a child_n to_o he_o that_o be_v afflict_v say_v job_n pity_n shall_v be_v show_v he_o from_o his_o friend_n have_v they_o not_o trouble_n enough_o already_o but_o will_v you_o add_v to_o their_o affliction_n they_o have_v not_o hereby_o forfeit_v the_o good_a thought_n and_o esteem_n which_o you_o shall_v have_v of_o they_o and_o if_o you_o judge_v they_o for_o this_o you_o must_v judge_v as_o wise_a and_o holy_a saint_n of_o god_n as_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n though_o god_n herein_o do_v sharp_o correct_v they_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v you_o to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n and_o to_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o they_o i_o say_v to_o you_o as_o job_n to_o his_o friend_n hold_v your_o peace_n let_v they_o alone_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o stand_v or_o fall_v to_o their_o own_o master_n 3._o this_o shall_v fill_v the_o heart_n of_o these_o holy_a parent_n with_o revenge_n upon_o sin_n and_o satan_n which_o have_v so_o debauch_v and_o defile_v and_o destroy_v their_o dear_a child_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v murder_v your_o child_n a_o spirit_n of_o revenge_n will_v rise_v in_o you_o and_o you_o will_v say_v to_o such_o a_o one_o i_o will_v have_v thy_o life_n and_o blood_n for_o the_o life_n and_o blood_n of_o my_o child_n but_o sin_n and_o satan_n have_v destroy_v both_o the_o precious_a soul_n and_o body_n of_o the_o child_n therefore_o labour_n as_o for_o other_o reason_n so_o for_o this_o also_o to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o labour_v to_o do_v as_o david_n do_v by_o the_o lion_n and_o the_o bear_n which_o take_v a_o lamb_n out_o of_o his_o flock_n he_o slay_v both_o the_o lion_n and_o the_o bear_n and_o deliver_v the_o lamb_n so_o do_v all_o you_o can_v to_o reseve_v your_o poor_a lamb_n out_o of_o the_o jaw_n of_o satan_n however_o labour_v to_o hate_v sin_n and_o satan_n more_o to_o promote_v god_n honour_n and_o kingdom_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n more_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o be_v revenge_v on_o sin_n and_o satan_n for_o the_o ruin_n of_o your_o child_n 4._o i_o do_v hence_o exhort_v all_o holy_a and_o obedient_a child_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o they_o that_o they_o be_v or_o have_v be_v the_o joy_n and_o crown_n of_o their_o parent_n it_o

for_o your_o parent_n good_a counsel_n and_o example_n and_o for_o a_o great_a part_n of_o a_o age_n of_o prayer_n which_o you_o be_v daily_o receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o if_o your_o parent_n be_v
