Athanasius saith, If thou wilt that 1thy children shall be obedient unto thee, use them unto the words of God, But thou shall not say that it belongeth all only to religious men to study scriptures: but tather it belongeth to every Christen man, and specially unto him that is wrapped in the businesses of this world: and so much the more, because he hath more need of help, for he is wrapped in the troubles of this world therefore it is greatly to thy profit that thy children should both hear and also read holy Scriptures, for of them shall they learn this commandment: Honour thy father, and thy mother. &c. 288. col. 2
