Be instructed you Parents to moderate your affections to your children, and to each child, and to moderate the demonstrations of your affections; let them not be too vehement, too frequent, too fondling.
Be instructed you Parents to moderate your affections to your children, and to each childe, and to moderate the demonstrations of your affections; let them not be too vehement, too frequent, too fondling.
I know it is in vain to give this direction to Parents, for they will not see out of the blindness that love worketh, what is too vehement love, and what be too vehement expressions of it, and rules to discern it can hardly be given. For those of not sparing them in any sin, and the like, do discover rather the unsanctity of love in other respects, ⟨p. 82⟩than the excess. It is alone a fleshly, not a spiritual love, when it will suffer them to sin, but it may be excessive, though it be not extremely carnal. Pray to God to discover it to you, and to reform it in you; It is better to love too much than too little, But it is better to show love too little, than to show it too much, especially if it be with partiality.
