Josiah began and made an alteration in his childhood, he turned all upside down, he would suffer no Idolatry to stand. Therefore, you must not take it for a general rule, that the son must ever walk in his fathers wales. Here I will renew, that which I said before of the […] Jews, the rebellious people (that is their title) they never1 spake so rebelliously, as to say, they would not receive any alteration, till their King came to age. Much less we English men (if there be any such in England) may be ashamed. I wonder with what conscience […] can bear such things, and allow it. This Josiah made an notable alteration, and therefore take it not for a general rule, that the […] shall always walk in his Fathers ways. Think not because he was slain ⟨p. 61⟩[…] battle, that God was displeased with him. For herein God2 showed his goodness to him wonderfully, who would not suffer him to see the captivity that he would bring upon the […] He would not him to have yt sight, the feeling, & the beholding of his plague, he suffered him to be taken a may before, and to be slain of the King of Egypt. Wherefore a just man must be glad when he is taken from misery, […] si morte preoccupatus fuerit in retrigerio erit. If a just man be prevented with death, it shall3 be to his relief.

Therefore take it not for a general rule, that the sons he always bound to walk in the Fathers ways. Nolite in pre ceptis patrum uestrorum incedere. Walk not in the commandments of your fathers. For so it is said in an other place of scripture. It is spoken to the reproach of Samuel's sons that they walked not in his way, for he was a good man. A wonderful thing that these children being so well brought up should so fall & be corrupt. If the devil can prevail and hath power4 against them, that had so Godly education, what vantage hath he at them that be brought up in iniquity and covetousness? It is a Proverb that magistratus virum commonstrat. Office & authority showeth what a man is. A man knoweth not him
