Besides these, fathers must also be careful for their children, to give them correction and chastisement. God knoweth the mould of mans heart. He seeth our inward parts. 1He hath said it in the beginning, The imagination of mans heart is evil from his youth. He 2did see that all the imaginations of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually. Behold mans nature, and consider it even from our first birth. Howe full of affections, how wayward in the young child, which lieth in the cradle? His body is but small, but he hath a great heart, and is altogether inclined to evil. And the more he wareth in reason by years, the more he groweth proud, froward, wilful, unruly and disobedient. ⟨p. 67⟩If this sparkle be suffered to increase, it will rage over, and burn down the whole house. We are not borne good, but by education we are changed, and become good.
