Parental wishes and charges. Or, The enjoyment of a glorious Christ, proposed, as the great blessedness, which Christian parents desire, both for themselves, and for their children. In a discourse, now put into the hands of such parents, as would be assisted in their duty, by putting such things into the hands of their children. : [Two lines of quotation in Latin]

The Great GOD, having promise unto His People, a SAVIOUR, and GREAT ONE, the Faith of Good me lived continually upon the Promise of that MESSIAH, until it was accomplished. In every part of the Old Testament, we therefore find the Saints of God, looking and longing for the coming of the MESSIAH. And here we find our Moses doing so; Moses, one of the most Admirable, and Angelical men, that ever lived upon Earth; An Angel rather than a Man. That Illustrious man of God, having Bewailed the miseries, of a Generation many ways perishing under the mortal wrath of Heaven, he petitions for those Blessings to be bestowed upon them, which might relieve, their miseries. The Sum and the Chief of all Blessings, is desired in the words now before us; The Appearing of the WORK and the GLORY of God. I make no Question, that by the Work of God, and His Glory, or His Glorious work, His ⟨p. 5⟩MESSIAH is […]. Moses thinks, […] of the Messiah, this would […] all that was amiss. Happy […], happy the Children, that have the […], the […], the Christ of God, […] to them, with His Blessed […]. This is to be our Doctrine.
