dear_a friend_n who_o be_v parent_n of_o child_n wait_v diligent_o upon_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o light_n that_o with_o his_o light_n you_o may_v see_v betimes_o into_o the_o nature_n inclination_n and_o disposition_n of_o your_o child_n and_o have_v a_o watchful_a and_o good_a eye_n over_o they_o and_o their_o inclination_n and_o if_o you_o see_v they_o be_v inclinable_a to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a cherish_v that_o in_o they_o if_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a strengthen_v it_o that_o more_o may_v arise_v in_o they_o and_o they_o may_v more_o come_v to_o see_v and_o taste_v with_o you_o how_o good_a and_o gracious_a the_o lord_n be_v and_o be_v good_a example_n to_o they_o in_o word_n and_o action_n that_o they_o may_v hear_v gracious_a word_n from_o you_o and_o behold_v your_o good_a conversation_n couple_v with_o fear_n fear_v to_o offend_v the_o lord_n and_o fear_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o glorious_a truth_n and_o then_o you_o will_v shine_v as_o light_n among_o they_o and_o your_o whole_a family_n and_o among_o all_o the_o child_n of_o man_n but_o if_o you_o see_v your_o child_n incline_v towards_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a to_o pride_n vain_a fashion_n of_o the_o world_n or_o that_o they_o delight_v in_o the_o company_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o in_o sport_n and_o that_o they_o evil_o spend_v their_o time_n without_o delay_n check_n and_o sharp_o reprove_v they_o for_o it_o and_o endeavour_v as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v to_o stop_v and_o restrain_v they_o therefrom_o and_o stubbornness_n highmindedness_a and_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_a labour_n in_o the_o love_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o break_v they_o from_o and_o keep_v down_o in_o they_o if_o any_o say_v what_o can_v i_o do_v god_n must_v do_v all_o i_o fear_v some_o among_o you_o have_v omit_v your_o duty_n on_o your_o part_n to_o do_v as_o christian_a parent_n under_o that_o pretence_n of_o god_n do_v all_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o train_v up_o your_o child_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o life_n as_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o learn_v the_o corrupt_a way_n of_o evil_a man_n and_o woman_n and_o to_o choose_v their_o way_n it_o be_v true_a god_n work_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o but_o as_o he_o work_v immediate_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o power_n in_o our_o heart_n he_o also_o work_v by_o instrument_n and_o you_o in_o the_o wisdom_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v or_o may_v become_v fit_a instrument_n for_o god_n to_o work_v on_o your_o child_n and_o family_n by_o and_o to_o reclaim_v your_o child_n and_o family_n from_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n which_o you_o may_v see_v they_o incline_v unto_o if_o the_o believe_a husband_n may_v save_v his_o wife_n and_o the_o believe_a wife_n her_o husband_n that_o believe_v not_o then_o why_o may_v not_o you_o as_o believe_v parent_n save_v your_o child_n due_o watch_v over_o they_o for_o good_a believe_v in_o god_n for_o they_o and_o do_v your_o duty_n to_o they_o careful_o and_o in_o god_n heavenly_a wisdom_n and_o why_o may_v not_o you_o your_o child_n and_o family_n be_v thus_o sanctify_v and_o save_v from_o the_o abomination_n of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o world_n while_o you_o and_o they_o be_v in_o it_o if_o whole_o you_o discharge_v your_o duty_n and_o trust_n as_o parent_n or_o master_n of_o family_n and_o than_o if_o your_o child_n or_o servant_n notwithstanding_o remain_v wicked_a you_o will_v be_v clear_a and_o their_o blood_n will_v come_v upon_o themselves_o or_o at_o their_o
