What They Said

"The second branch of good nurture is a training up of children unto a good calling. This charge [train up a child in the way that he should go (Prov 22:6)] directly tendeth to this purpose. This duty hath from the beginning of the world been performed by parents, and their performance thereof commended by the Holy Ghost."

"The more purely God's word is preached, the more deeply it pierces and the more kindly it works."

“Faith without righteousness is presumption; righteousness without truth is hypocrisy.”

“It is impossible, that a Minister, who, it may be, hath many hundred children under his charge, should well instruct them all: It is therefore requisite, that each parent look to his own children.”
