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]

Once more, Can you hear, that our Great Blessedness lies in the Enjoyment of a CHRIST; and not resolve, To be afraid of a Christless condition, as a cursed condition? Souls, If ever you be Redeemed from the Curse of God, it must be by the CHRIST of God. You find it said, Let thy Work appear unto thy SERVANTS. You are no Servants of God, if you tremble not at being Strangers to CHRIST. Strangers to CHRIST, are strangers to the Good One; strangers to all Good; strangers to Blessedness. Take the solemn Warning of God, O all you that neglect & refuse a CHRIST, who offers to Save you unto the uttermost; I earnestly testify unto you; You are under the terrible ⟨p. 30⟩Curse of God; and, Woe, Woe unto you, if you continue so!

Finally. O PARENTS; What will you now do, that your poor Children may Enjoy a CHRIST, as well as you; That your CHRIST may be your Children's too? If you are Pious Parents, yea, if you are not Ostriches and Sea-monsters rather than Parents, you will do all that you can!
