Whether this be a sufficient discharge of that great duty which God hath laid upon Christian Parents,1 in reference to their families? That God hath charged them with the souls of their families is undeniable, Deut. 6. 6, 7. Eph. 6. 4. If God had not clothed you with his authority, to command them in the way of the Lord; he would never have charged them so strictly to yield you obedience as he hath done, Eph. 6. 1. Col. 3. 20. Well, a great trust is reposed in you, look to your duty, for without dispute you shall answer for it.
