But Parents are most times too too careless of their families and see and wink at their sins, their undecent behaviour, riot, idleness, disguised attire, and any naughtiness that doth not bring forth great discredit in the World. Purify your houses, and so see the faults, as to chase them out, and call your people to amendment, to cleanness, to changing their garments; if they be proud, vain, foolish, as well as if they be superstitious.

1Lastly, Jacob instructed his people here, and called them to the worship of the true God, telling them that he would go to Bethel, and make an Altar to God that had fulfilled his vow, and met him when he fled from Esau. We should all call upon our families, and bring them to Gods Worship, and labour to instruct them therein, that they may be able to perform it holily and fruitfully: Surely, had not Jacob taught his people what Duty they did owe to God in these sacrifices, and how to perform them in spiritual manner, he must have endeavoured only to make them hypocritical abusers of Gods service.
