And though it be not able to do his duty, nor for blindness to know his duty, yet the father and mother promise moe gifts still without ceasing, and that such as they think should most make it to see love, & to provoke it to be willing to do part of his duty. And when it hath done amiss, though it have no power to do satisfaction, nor lust or courage to come to the right way again, yet their love and mercy abideth still so great to it, that upon appointment of mending, they not only forgive that is past, and fulfil their promise nevertheless, but promise greater gifts then ever before, and to be better father and mother to it than ever they were. Now when it cannot do y• thousand part of his duty, how could it deserve such promises of the father & mother, as a labourer doth his hire? the reward therefore cometh of the love, mercy, and truth of the father and mother, as well when the child keepeth the appointment, as when they fulfil their promise, when it hath broken the appointment: and not of the deserving of the child.
