Your care for your very Horses is expressed early, whilst §1they are but Colts, and not come to do you any service; you are willing to be at pains and cost, to have them broken and brought to their way. This is more than ever many of them did for their children; they can see them wild and profane, naturally taking a stroke or way of wickedness, but yet never were at any pains or cost to break them; these must be fondled and cockered up in the natural way of their own corruption and wickedness, and not a rod or reproof used to break them of it.
