1. Teach them the Principles of Religion, their Baptism, that will teach them they are unclean by Nature, and that they are cleansed by the Blood of Christ; they were Baptized into the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, therefore learn them to know God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, and that will make them think of it, when they see others baptized, Prov. 22.6. Train up a Child in his way wherein he should walk, and he will keep it to the end; nurture him, or initiate him in the trade of his way, in the original it is, in the mouth of his way, that is, at the beginning of his way, set him right at the first in his way, and he will keep to the end; if a Traveller be set right in his way at first, it will help him the better to keep his way all his Journey; so set a Child in a good way, learn him to cease from evil, and to do well, and he will the better keep that way in his age, as David teacheth, Psal. 34.11, to 15.
