So Parents must learn to love their children, but with a moderate love, such as that they can be be content to put them to smart, so far as God will have them put to smart, even by just correction to cut off the foreskin of their hearts, yea to part with them, if God will have them banished, or go into another Country, yea to have them die if God will have them die. Such a moderate love which is subordinate to the love of God, we must have and exercise to the fruit of our bodies, and we must show the sincerity of our ⟨p. 102⟩love to them by praying for them, and the moderateness or our love by being able to punish them duly, and to part with them even by death when God shall send it. O bewail your carnallnesse and unlovingness, and immoderate love to them. Inordinate love of a child is a great fault, it will undo the child, it will make him despise and abuse the Parents, it will nourish all vices in him, it is the next way to make God cross a man in him, it makes a child an Idol, pray to God therefore to moderate your love.
