Wicked Parents are cruel, they damn their own souls, and they are 1cruel to posterity. Jeroboam hurt his posterity more then all the world besides, for his sin God cursed his posterity, They walked in the ways of Jeroboam. God many times will not punish men themselves, but their posterity. Wicked Kings, God spares them themselves sometimes, but he punisheth their posterity. Jeroboam was spared for his own life, but his posterity was punished: when wicked men dye, others applaud their wisdom; they dye thus and thus, &c. and their posterity applaud their wisdom: God therefore curseth their posterity, walking in their ways. Jeroboam's children I say, had cause to curse their father; they had a prejudice in his example: they thought him a very wise man, that by setting up the Calves he could make such a rent, but it turned to their destruction. I say, parents are cruel to posterity: for God revengeth their sins on their posterity. Let this be a strong motive to men to believe in Christ, that they may leave a good posterity, a posterity in Covenant with God.
