The second duty of the master of the family, concerneth the souls of such as be under his government: and that is to give charge to them, that they learn, believe, and obey the true religion, that is, the doctrine of Salvation set down in the writings of the Prophets & Apostles. The Lord himself con mends ⟨p. 152⟩Abraham for this: I know Abraham, 1saith he, that he will command his sons, and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord to do righteousness and judgement. And David gives Solomon on his death-bed a most notable & solemn charge,2 the sum and substance whereof is, to know the God of his fathers, and to serve him: which being done, he further commends him to God by prayer: for which purpose the 72. psal. was made. This practise of his is to be followed of all. Thus governors, when they shall carefully dispose of their goods, and give charge to their posterity touching the worship of God, shall greatly honour God dying as well as living.
