Instruction to children to take notice with thankfulness of their §2parents love, not only for their food, and apparel, for their portion and patrimony, but like wise and that in a principal manner, for their good education, for their holy instructions, for their wholesome and medicinable corrections, though for the present they seemed somewhat sharp and bitter unto them. These things are only profitable to their bodies, and yet not always, nor for perpetuity: but these are for the good of their souls, and that certainly, and for evermore. The fathers fondness, and Gods anger and the child's ruin, go often together with those earthly possessions: but the fathers faithfulness, and Gods favour, and the child's happiness are always conjoined, where this healthful discipline is duly exercised and regarded.
