When people do either not understand things, or if they do, yet they do not mind and improve them, so get no good by them; no wonder though they talk against them, when others bless God for them, and daore his grace in them.
Let the Children of Godly Parents look to themselves, they have a price in their hands, if they have wisdom and hearts to improve it; it is a fearful thing to hear of the Child of a Godly, Praying, Parent to dye in an unconverted State.
