Also sluttishness, and further, when by corrupt, rotten, and evil communication that cometh from them, they infect children, who learn of them to swear, to sing lewd songs, and the like. So it cometh to pass, that many times a man hath his children spoiled, even by his servants, who teach them so much wickedness whilst they are young, that hardly it can be rooted out a great while after. Again, when servants will inveigle away the affection of children, either to marry them, as when they have portions, &c. or to commit uncleanness with them; whereby many times parents affection is alienated from their children, to dis-inherit them, or the like. Lastly, when they shall withdraw their portion from them and convert it to their own use.
Contrary to this, is when seruants are doggish and churlish to the Children. Let such take heed, lest they get such a custome by it, as that they prooue churlish to their owne also. Also sluttishnesse, and further, when by corrupt, rotten, and euill communication that commeth from them, they infect children, who learne of them to sweare, to sing lewd songs, and the like. So it commeth to passe, that many times a man hath his children spoyled, euen by his seruants, who teach them so much wickednesse whilest they are young, that hardly it can be rooted out a great while after. Againe, when seruants will inueigle away the affection of children, either to marry them, as when they haue portions, &c. or to commit vncleannesse with them; whereby many times parents affection is alienated from their children, to dis-inherite them, or the like. Lastly, when they shall withdraw their portion from them and conuert it to their owne vse.
