It is a cross that hath befallen many a Father to have very lewd children; Labour what you can to prevent it by being good your selves, and carry not your selves so wickedly as to pull this cross upon your selves, as Judah did in running to Hiram and marrying a Canaanitish woman; for what could he look for but that the sons of such a woman and brought up in such a place should prove wicked? And if it do befall any of you or have befallen you, be indeed humbled by it, but not put quite out of heart. Let it help to make your selves better if your children be wicked.
