Yet Secondly,1 This shall not excuse children, though they be the children of whoredoms. It is no excuse for them to say they had it from their Parents, and they did as their Parents have done, and as they bade them, and according as they brought them up. No it excuseth not at all, for the wrath of God cometh upon them that are the children of whoredoms.

Then what a mercy is it for us to be brought up in the truth; to have Parents that do profess the truth, and for our education to be in the way of truth? It is a mercy that we do not consider of to give God the glory of it: How dangerous is it to have superstitious Idolatrous Parents, and to have ⟨p. 201⟩such kind of education! there is not one of ten thousand that altereth his religion: If they have Turks, or Jews, or Papists to their parents, and such education, it is not one of ten thousand I say that altereth his religion. Therefore it is like our condition would have been the same if God had not cast it that our parents should be such as profess the truth, and our education according to the truth. Bless God for this. And you that are parents do you look to your children, and bring them up in the truth. Children who have gracious principles dropped into them, and those watered by prayers and tears, there is hope of them and not of them alone, but of the nation where they live.
