The place of this article is this: On the Festival days thou shalt bring thy children to the church to hear the sermon, and when thou shalt come home,1 thou shalt ask them what they have kept in memory of the sermon. Thou shalt teach them the Christian faith. Thou shalt admonish them to live well, and to put all their hope and trust in God, and rather to dye, then to do any thing that is against the will of God. And principally thou shalt learn them the contents of the prayer of our Saviour Christ, called ye Pater noster, that is to say how they have an other father in heaven, of whom thy must seek for all goodness, and without whom they can have no good thing: & how that they may seek nothing in all their works, and in all their intents, but the honour of their heavenly father: And how they must desire that this father would govern all that they do, or desire: And how that they must submit all to his holy will, which cannot be but good. &c. Thou shalt buy them wholesome books, as the holy Gospel, the epistles of the holy Apostles, yea both the new & the old Testament, that they may understand and drink of the sweet fountain & waters of life.
