gThe government of his Family was exemplary, another Bethel, 2for he did not only make conscience of morning and evening prayer and reading the word in his family, but also of Catechising his Children and Servants: wherein God gave him a singular gift, for he did not teach them by any set form, but so as he brought them that were instructed to express the Principle taught them in their own words. So that his Children (as Gregory Nazianzen saith of his Father) hfound him as well a spiritual, as a bodily Father. Yea never▪ any Servant came to his house, but gained a great deal of knowledge.
