But this duty is requisite (as I said) First, for the Fathers own sake, who shall find them so much more dutiful to himself, by how much they have been trained up more painfully, and been more serviceable, and under command; even beasts if they be much in hand, and have a kind of acquaintance with the master, so that he come near to them, and accustom to do something about them, and to have them do and suffer for him, are much more tame and gentle than those that are never handled, never approached unto; So it must needs be also with men, they grow rude and barbarous if they be left to themselves, but more affable and orderly when they are held in, and accustomed to walk by rule, as they be when they are trained up in a calling. Indeed some kind of creatures are so fierce, that no use of handling will quite tame them; but even those are far less fierce than if they were never meddled withal: So some children are very masterful, and disobedient, even though they be set under government, and brought up in service and labour, but how much more violent would they have proved if such care had not a little tempered them? It concerns the Parent to have his children subject and apt to be ruled; bringing them up in a calling conduceth much this way, wherefore it is his part not to be wanting to his own welfare and theirs.
