1Now in this way of blessing we cannot imitate him, because we want the Spirit of prophecy to foretell future events; but there is a way of blessing which lieth upon each of us; we must pray for a blessing to our children, and to our posterity after us, and must carry our selves so religiously, and righteously, that we may procure a blessing to them by virtue of Gods promise to the seed of the righteous. A good man walketh in his integrity, 2and his children shall be blessed after ⟨p. 75⟩him: and Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, 3his children shall be like Olive plants. Lo how you must bless your children, fear God, walk uprightly, and then shall you convey a blessing to them.
