When any draw others to evil ways, they are said in Scripture to make them children of the Devil, to beget them as children of the Devil. Mat. 23.15. Ye compass Sea and Land to make one Proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of the Devil than your selves, you beget him to the Devil. So parents, first by way of natural generation they beget children to themselves, and then by educating their children in ways of wickedness they beget them the second time to the Devil.1 And they are called strange children, because God will not own them, they are none of mine saith God, they are strangers from me, I will have nothing to do with them.
