may_v easy_o he_o conclude_v from_o those_o very_a significant_a and_o emphatical_a metaphor_n by_o which_o this_o duty_n be_v set_v forth_o in_o scripture_n you_o will_v find_v it_o set_v forth_o by_o the_o metaphor_n of_o 1._o milk_n of_o principle_n and_o of_o a_o foundation_n will_v any_o say_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o give_v milk_n to_o child_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o

come_v to_o the_o perfect_a man_n be_v it_o necessary_a that_o child_n shall_v learn_v the_o first_o rudiment_n and_o principle_n of_o knowledge_n before_o they_o can_v attain_v any_o perfection_n in_o it_o and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v necessary_a they_o shall_v learn_v their_o catechism_n some_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n which_o shall_v contain_v the_o principle_n of_o religion_n that_o so_o

and_o instruct_v child_n will_v further_o appear_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o man_n natural_a averseness_n unto_o all_o that_o be_v good_a since_o the_o fall_n of_o

it_o be_v all_o stain_a and_o pollute_v by_o natural_a corruption_n as_o the_o 5._o psalmist_n speak_v we_o be_v shape_v in_o iniquity_n and_o conceive_v in_o sin_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o begin_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o can_v to_o instruct_v and_o catechise_v child_n we_o shall_v find_v sin_n and_o satan_n have_v get_v the_o start_n of_o we_o and_o that_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o

weed_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n but_o 3._o these_o early_a instruction_n of_o child_n will_v be_v find_v necessary_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o delay_n will_v make_v the_o work_n more_o difficult_a and_o dangerous_a sin_n have_v its_o several_a age_n as_o well_o as_o man_n at_o first_o it_o have_v only_o the_o weakness_n of_o a_o infant_n and_o may_v easy_o be_v master_v by_o religious_a

end_v at_o last_o in_o a_o fatal_a necessity_n youth_n be_v much_o more_o capable_a of_o instruction_n than_o the_o inveterate_a sinner_n train_z up_o a_o child_n say_v 6._o solomon_n in_o the_o way_n he_o shall_v go_v and_o he_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o it_o when_o he_o be_v old_a but_o such_o as_o be_v harden_v in_o wickedness_n will_v receive_v very_o small_a benefit_n from_o instruction_n
