1. What plain and pressing commands of God are there that require this great Duty at your hands. Deut. 6.6, 7, 8. And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thy heart, and thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou lyest down, and when thou risest up. So Deut. 11. And how well is God pleased with this in Abraham, Gen. 18.19. Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? For I know him, that he will command his Children, and his Household after him, that they shall keep the way of the Lord, &c. And it is Joshua's Resolution, That he and his Household will serve the Lord. 1Prov. 22.6. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Ephes▪ 6.4. Bring up (your children) in the Nurture and Admonition of the Lord. Many the like Precepts, especially in the Book of Proverbs, you may find: So that you see it is a Work that the Lord of heaven and earth hath laid upon you; and how then dare you neglect it and cast it off?
