Brethren, be not a number of you far from following Abraham in this matter? you have not gotten so much knowledge as to be able to teach your people the doctrine of true piety, the way of God, justice and judgement, nor do not strive to get knowledge. And many that have knowledge make no care of communicating. Ah if he that provides not for the family things needful to the body denies the faith, how is he guilty of that fault, which doth not provide for their souls. I beseech you therefore be humbled for your omission of this duty, and set about it now you have helps enough, and may have time enough, if you will redeem time from vanity. Do what God praiseth Abraham for, and what he maketh an argument, why he will reveal to him all that he doth.

Again, see how Abraham carried himself to the particular members of the family. First towards his wife: secondly towards his children: thirdly towards his servants.
