Now therefore, you unnatural, slothful, wasteful Fathers and Mothers that are so wickedly given over to idleness, and drunkenness, or gaming, or other looseness, that you either will not work at all, or else will not work for your Families, but your lusts to spend it on them. I pray you at length be ashamed of such worse than brutish distemper of mind, and more than beast-like misdemeanour; what account can you give to God when he shall call you to an account?
