Herein all good Parents are to imitate him, for the duty is ⟨p. 72⟩necessary for the children's sake, and for the Common-wealth, and for the Parents own sake too.2 Train up a child in the way he should go; He doth not mean it alone, Catechize him in matters of religion, and good conversation, but also in affairs of this world too, because it is a part of his way to live in the world, as well as to know the things that belong to his souls health. We need not the authority of Scripture for that, for which nature it self is sufficient; If God command men to walk orderly, and to eat the labour of their hands, their Parents must inure their children to such a walking, and see that they observe that Commandment of God. If they must provide for them food and raiment for the present, much more the things that are needful for their well-being for ever.
