The contrary practice of parents is, who suffer the b•st years of their children to be spent in vanity and wantonness. Where note by the way, that this point of well nurturing children, doth especially belong to the mothe•, as we see, 2 Tim. 1.15. compared with 2 Tim. •.15. Pro. 31.1.1.8.6.20. yea, after a peculiar manner to mothers when they are young, they being then most familiar & conversant about them, in feeding▪ clothing, &c. For this cause the holy Ghost doth express in the books of the Kings & Chronicles the mothers name; because children do most ordinarily follow their mothers. So Solomon and Absalom, the children of one father, but of two mothers; the one bad, the other good: so it is when the father is a Protestant, the mother a Papist, the children commonly are Papists, 2 Chr. 2•.1, 3. Ahaziah fell to Idolatry, by reason of his mothers counsel. Which serves to stir up mothers to diligence in educating their children.
