Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Bad Parents Make Bad Children

I cannot suppose thee to be such a stranger as to be ignorant of the general complaint concerning the decay of the power of godliness, and more especially of the great corruption of youth. Wherever thou goest, thou wilt hear men crying out of bad children and bad servants; whereas indeed the source of the mischief must be sought a little higher: it is bad parents and bad masters that make bad children and bad servants.

Thomas Manton
