Use of Exhortation to Governors, especially Parents and Masters; Take our Saviours example here, and follow it, see his care was that his Disciples might not sin, that they might be kept in all holiness; Oh then blame and condemn thy self, saying, my thoughts, My cares have been to make them rich, to provide for them in the world, but not at all have I looked to their Souls: Do they not lye, swear, drink? Do they not profane the Sabbath, and live dissolutely? yet these things are no trouble to thy heart; Canst thou say of thy Children as was said of Austin to his Mother Monica, It was impossible that a Child of so many Tears should perish; Are thine Children of prayers and tears, and careful instruction? How many are too like that Woman of Zebedee, she comes to Christ with this Petition, That her Sons might sit with Christ in his Kingdom, one on the right hand and another on the left, dreaming of some earthly, temporal greatness; Thus we are apt to think we will provide so much, leave such Estates, and in the mean while their miserable Souls are undone to all Eternity. Be moved hereunto because
