3. From the great evil that hangs over your family, if you should neglect the Worship of God therein; God will curse your family, and his wrath shall be the portion of you and your Children, if the worship of God be excluded from your House: though God hath spared you and your family in this late Contagion, yet his Wrath is still hovering over your house, if you call not upon him, Jer. 10.25. Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the Families that call not upon thy Name.— Fury is the utmost of Gods wrath: and, this shall not be dropped only, but poured out upon your family; God will pour down showers of wrath and fury upon those houses that neglect his Worship.

4. From equity; You would have all in your family discharge their duties which they owe to you; you would have your children be obedient to you, and your servants be dutiful to you, and do your work, and serve you; and, is it not then reasonable that you and they should discharge your du•ies unto God? and that you and they should serve the Lord? when you and they have more dependence upon God, then they have upon you.
