Lastly, he was plagued with wicked children, that drew him to grievous offences. Prepare to loose all you have, especially if you find your souls over-earnestly addicted to them, and cause not God to pull them out of your hands by setting your hearts upon them. Prepare your hearts to loose your yoke-fellows by some strange and unexpected accidents. Prepare to have your children naught and wicked, and take heed that your own folly in choosing for wealths sake an evil place of habitation be not an instrument of making them such, yea learn to be thankful that God hath yet saved you from such miseries, and make your smaller crosses seem lighter to you then else they ⟨p. 180⟩would, by comparing them with these so heavy and burdensome crosses.
