If thou art a father, let not a fond affection destroy thy child; bend the Twig betimes, while it will bend; delay too long, and it will grow too strong. Season his younger years; the Vessel favours as it is season∣ed; let him suck pious and prudent prin∣ciples with his milk, that he may be habi∣tually good; this will make him learn his du∣ty
with less difficulty, and do it with more de∣light.
