Or for the sins here forbidden,
And first for the Family: Say, if thou art an husband: 1. 1Hast thou not sometimes abused thy wife, or smitten her, or injured her, in thought, word, or deed? If thou art a wife: 2. Hast thou not been wasteful, or froward, or idle? If thou art a child: 3. Hast thou not despised thy fathers or mothers instructions? 24. Hast thou not mocked them, or despised them, or cursed them, or smitten them, or shamed them, or grieved them? If thou art a master: 5. Hast thou not governed thy family negligently? 6. Hast thou not with-held that which is just and equal in diet, wages, encouragement? If thou art a servant: 7. Hast thou not been idle, and slothful? 8. Hast thou not served grudgingly, and not from the heart?
