He Chasteneth first and then teacheth, Psal. 94.12. Lay Gods Law, and his sin against that Law before him. I have known a man, that when he Corrected his Child would bring his Bible forth, cause his Child to read such a Scripture, as spake home to the Case, and this hath pierced deeper than the Rod.

If our Child heedlessly, fall into the dirt, we do not let him lye, and beat him, but first help him up, settle all rhings well about him, after that Correct him, but close all with charging him to look better to his feet.
