O how unnatural is that man, who doth worse than ever it was heard that any brute beast hath done yet! that is, in a rage teareth his own children in pieces. If it be a proof of an unsanctified man, that His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; then sure he is extremely unsanctified, that curseth his own children; for that mouth is full of cursing to the very brim, that will dash over against the fruit of ones own body. But you that have not yet cast off all, so much as likeness to Christianity, I pray you learn of so holy a man; Bless your children in your kind, as he did in his: live not in so wicked courses, as may curse your seed and root them out to destruction. If you desire that God should grant prosperity to your off-spring, walk in the ways of his Commandments.
