When your Bodies are in the Grave, and your Souls in Heaven, your Children may remember how you instructed them, and prayed for them, and the remembrance of it may then be a means of their conversion: You may hear of your Children's conversion after you are in Heaven; the Angels of God that see it, and that rejoice over a sinner that repenteth will bring you the tidings of it; and then there will be joy all Heaven over.

2. Let me exhort Children that are here before the Lord this day: O do you go home, and pray earnestly for converting Grace. Beg as for your lives that the God of your Fathers would pour his Spirit upon you: Young ones hearken! In the Name of the Lord I speak to you; the Lord can pour his Spirit on you betimes, then shall you be rich in Grace, let this promise encourage you to look up to God through Jesus Christ. Go into secret corners, and plead it with God; say, Lord thou hast promised to pour thy Spirit upon the Off-spring of thy Servants; I am (through thy grace) among the Children of thy Servants; thou art the God of my Father, the God of my Grand-father, oh! be my God also. If you seek God in earnest, he will be found of you, but if you forsake him, and break his Covenant sealed in your Baptism, woe unto you. If you die and be not first new Creatures, better you had never been born: you will be left without excuse before […] Lord, terrible witnesses shall rise up against you at the last day. Your godly Parents will testify against you before the Son of God at that day: And the Ministers of Christ will also be called in as witnesses against you for your condemnation, if you die in your sins. As for many of you, I have treated with you privately and personally, I have told you, and I do tell you, and make solemn Protestation before the Lord, that if you die in a Christless, graceless estate, I will must certainly profess unto Jesus Christ at the day of Judgement, Lord, these are the Children, whom I spake often unto in thy Name, publicly and privately, and I told them, that if they did not make to themselves a new heart, and make sure of an interest in Christ, they should become damned creatures for evermore; and yet they would not repent and believe the Gospel. O why should I that can appeal to God, that I long for your Conversion, be your accuser before the Lord Jesus at the last day?
