They that be children, and live under the rule of their parents, or have tutors, they pray in this petition for their pa rents, and tutors. For they be necessary for their bringing up. And god will accept their prayer as well as theirs which be of age. for god hath no respect of persons: he is as ready to1 hear the youngest as the oldest. Therefore let them be brought up in godliness, let them know god. Let parents and tutors do their duties to bring them up so, that as soon as their age serveth, they may taste and savour god: let them fear god in the beginning, and so they shall do also when they be old. Because I speak here of Orphans, I shall exhort you to be pitiful unto them, for it is a thing that pleased god, as S. James witnesseth, saying: Religio pura. &c.
