PArents and Children are the next payre; which doe giue much ioy to each other:* 1.1 Childrens children are the Crowne of the elders, and the glory of the children are their fathers: To which purpose, the Parent ow∣eth to the Childe, 1. Prouision.
A good man shall giue inheri∣tance to his childrens children.* 1.2 All the labour, wherein hee hath trauelled,* 1.3 he shall leaue to the man that shall be after him.* 1.4 And who knoweth whether hee shall be wise or foolish: yet shal he rule ouer all his labour wherein hee hath laboured, and shewed him∣selfe wise, vnder the sunne. Here are therefore two grosse vanities, which I haue seene:* 1.5 the one, There is one alone, & there is not a se∣cond, which hath neither sonne nor brother: yet is there none end of his trauell, neither can his eye be satisfied with riches; nei∣ther doth he thinke, for whom do I trauell, and defraud my soule of pleasure. The other, contrary;
riches reserued to the owners thereof for their euill.* 1.6 And these riches perish in his euill business;* 1.7 and he begetteth a sonne, and in his hand is nothing. 2.* 1.8 Instructiō and good education: for,* 1.9 He that begetteth a foole (whether natu∣rally, or by ill breeding) begetteth himselfe sorrow: and the father of a foole can haue no ioy. And therefore,* 1.10 Teach a child in the trade of his way: and when he is olde, hee shall not depart from it. 3. Correction:* 1.11 He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth betime;* 1.12 for foolish∣nesse is bound in the heart of a child: the rodde of corre∣ction shall driue it from him:
yea, there is yet great benefit of due chasticement;* 1.13 for, The rodde and correction giue life: but a child set at libertie makes his mother (who is commonly faulty this way) ashamed; yea, more them shame, death and hell follow to the child vpon indulgence: (onely) If thou smite him with the rod,* 1.14 hee shall not die: if thou smite him with the rod,* 1.15 thou shalt deliuer his soule from hell.* 1.16 Tho thy sonne therefore be tender and deare in thy sight;* 1.17 Correct him, and hee will giue thee rest, and will giue pleasures to thy soule: wherefore,* 1.18 Chasten him while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare,* 1.19 to his destruction. The sonne that is of a great sto∣mach,
shall indure punishment: and tho thou deliuer him, yet thou shalt take him in hand a∣gaine.
