6. “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Instruct a child, as soon as ever he is capable, and season his mind with the principles of vertue, before he receive other impressions: and it is most likely they will grow up with him; so that when he is older, he will not forsake them, but retain them as long as he lives.
8. “He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.” But let not such abuse their power, for no man can reap better than he sows; but if he doe injury to others, it shall produce his own trouble: and the Authority which he employs vexatiously and spitefully shall fail him; and not be able to bear him out in his inhumanity.
9. “He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.” On the other side, he that beholding the miserable condition of others, takes compassion upon them, and friendly relieves them, shall be blessed by God, and commended by men: because he doth not put them off to be supplied by others, but imparts of his own goods to him, that cannot requite him again.
