2. Mind your Families more then ever; you have your Children and Servants call aloud upon you. How many grave faces do I see at this time, that can tell me, Sir, I remember some twenty or thirty years ago, you could not pass the streets, but here was one Family repeating the Word of God▪ another singing the praises of God, another praying to God, another conferring concerning the things of God; at that time we had not so many foolish absurd excursions into streets and fields as now. O for the Lords sake begin to take them up now: Let the Amorite, Perizite and Jebusite do what they will; but oh! for you and your children, and your servants, do you serve the Lord; up again with those godly Exercises; when we cannot hear a Sermon, then read a Sermon; if we cannot hear a Sermon well preached, our godly Parents would engage us ⟨p. 360⟩to read Sermons well penned; if nothing new, let the word be repeated and meditated, call to mind what you have heard; oh! reduce your selves to your Christian frame: let the debauched Atheists know, they have something among you that is to be feared, that is your prayers; let them know, that though you have not those opportunities you have had, yet you will improve those you have. And you Masters of this Parish, for Gods sake keep in your servants on this day more then ever; you are to be accountable for their souls, and they will give you a thousand thanks when they come to age, especially at the day of Judgement▪ Oh then, blessed be God I had such a Master, blessed be God I had such a Mistress, blessed be God I had such Parents.
