Oh! That our Glorious LORD, would set home such Thoughts as these, upon the Hearts of our Children; And Give perfect Hearts unto them.
If they don't mind these things, in this more public Dispensation of them, will you that are their Teachers, more privately inculcate such Things upon them? I had the Happiness of an Education under a School-master who was Exemplary for doing so! Before we part, I am to tell you more concerning him.

Worthy of Honour are the TEACHERS that Convey Wisdom unto our Children; Worthy of Double Honour the Happy Instruments that Convey Saving Wisdom to them! There are some whose peculiar Profession it is, to assist the Education of our Children; and it is therefore their Endeavour to give them a Religious Education. Their Employment is to bestow Useful and Various Learning on our Children; but they make their Employment, a precious Advantage to Learn them the Holy Scriptures, and make them Wise for Eternity.
