And you young men that have too too much broken forth, O take your selves to task betime, and begin to amend betime. Let your Parents have the happiness to see you reformed in their life time, to behold your change, that they may rejoice in your reformation, and bless God for his goodness in hearing their prayers and granting their desires, and you may cause them to live so much longer and more cheerfully, by seeing so happy and desirable a sight. It will add a new youth to an aged Parent, if he may see his much offending children returned quite back to the ways of God and goodness, most comfortably will they leave earth and go to Heaven when they leave their children in such plight as they may hope to meet them there at last.
