Learn to be ashamed, you that are spendalls, and keep nothing for your children, have nothing to give them: and learn you all to be moderately careful for them, and discreetly and indifferently liberal to them. Let not one have all, the other nothing, let not any of them be thrust off with nothing for the others sake, but be a Parent to all, O be husbandly and thrifty to get and save, and be seasonably liberal to them, yet so, that still your selves be in such case as not to make your selves underlings to them.

1Again, for Isaac, Abraham was careful to provide a wife, even one of the best he could though he sent far for her, and it may seem he had not much with her, as you have it in the whole Chapter of Gen. 24. Here Abraham is to be imitated, if in any thing concerning a child, he looked to have a good wife more then a rich. O if you that be Parents would do so, how well would it go with many a family? what is he or she, not what hath he or she should be the question?
