But Children they are yet nearer than either Friends or Brethren. They are dparts nostri, viscera nostra; they are as eour very bowels, and part of our selves. And therefore no marvel if Solomon say, that fA foolish son is a sorrow to his father, and an heaviness to his mother. And, gHe that begetteth a fool, begetteth himself sorrow: and the father of a fool hshall have no joy.
