Children. You may by your Piety, approve your selves the Regenerate Children of God, while you are yet Children. Cry unto God, My Father! Ah, Children; Be afraid of going Prayerless to Bed, lest the Devil be your […]-fellow. Be afraid of Playing on the Lords-Day, lest the Devil be your Play-follow. Be afraid of Telling Lies, or speaking Wickedly, lest that Evil Tongue be one Day tormented in the Flames, where, A drop of water to cool the Tongue, will be roared for.
