Puritan Board Freshman
By endeavouring to bring up our children in the fear of the Lord, we shall provide for God’s glory when we are dead. A godly man should not only honour God while he lives, but do something that may promote God’s glory when he is dead. If our children are seasoned with gracious principles, they will stand up in our place when we have gone, and will glorify God in their generation. A good piece of ground bears not only a fore-crop but an after-crop. He who is godly does not only bear God a good crop of obedience himself while he lives, but by training his child in the principles of religion, he bears God an after-crop when he is dead.
