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]

Fourthly. He that is without a CHRIST, is a Slave of the Devil: But certainly, O Young People, to be such a Slave, is to be very Miserable. ⟨p. 50⟩Until a man get into the Hands of the Saviour, he is in the hands of the Destroyer. We are in the Kingdom of Satan, till we are translated into the Kingdom of our Saviour. [See, Col 1. 13.] Until a man be in CHRIST, he is not a Child of God. And he that is not a Child of God, who's is he? We may tremble to speak it; but we find it spoken by the mouth of God; 1 Joh. 3 10 Either the Children of God, or the Children of the Devil. Yea, but every Child of Satan, is a Slave to him. How Miserable is Sinner without a CHRIST? Satan has Possession of him; Satan Enslaves him; Satan Deceives him; Satan Befools him. He is Blinded by Satan; Satan hinders him from a true sight of Sin as it is, and from seeing the things of his Everlasting Peace. He is always at work for Satan; and at last Satan pays him his wages. he can't resist the motions of Satan; and Satan that has been his Tempter, at last becomes his Tormentor. He is in the Snare of Satan, and led Captive by Satan to do his will, Oh! Miserable Captivity! Worst ⟨p. 51⟩than any Captivity among the Monsters of Africa!
