You wives be content to be subject to your husbands, as it is sure Eve was before her fall at least, and probable after too, for we read of no brawls betwixt them. O join together to bring up your children well, first in some honest calling, then in the knowledge of the true God and care of worshipping him. I say teach your sons and daughters things necessary for their profitable and holy living in the world; bring them not up in idleness and ignorance, but so carry your selves to them, that it may not be imputed to you if they prove wicked, and be thankful to God for your children, and learn to rejoice, especially in their goodness, as Adam and Eve did in Seths. Learn of your first Parents to be good Parents, and follow all the things that were good and commendable in them.
