CHAP. III.

A Two-fold imployment, which lyeth in the order of Nature and right reason: Lets hindring this two-fold dutie, two; fondnesse, fiercenesse; extreames, yet ordi∣narily in one and the same Parent. I. Of fondnesse, what causeth it; Youth more profitable, Child-hood more de∣lightfull * 1.1. What hurt fondnesse doth. The Divels mur∣thering engine, to pag. 18. Foure mightie considerations to fortifie us against it, from pag. 19. to pag. 22. Three ex∣amples evidencing how destroying it is, to pag. 24. Repea∣ted, concluded in M^r. Boltons words, with some use of the whole to all Parents, to page 26. II. Fiercenesse, whose fruit it is, and how much it hinders, to pag. 27. It helps not to unroot evill, but rather roots it more in: to pag. 29. It hinders much the Implanting of good: to pag. 30. Consi∣derations, which may help to calme a Parent, when in heat of spirit he is about to unroot evill, are three, very worth his consideration, to pag. 33. Considerations, which may arrest a Parents hand, when he is about the implanting of good, are foure, which, being considered, will command an an∣swerable practise: to pag. 35.
