If then you that are parents will be so wise and kind to
your children as to wave every other consideration, and to
choose for their sponsors those persons alone who truly fear
and serve God; if some of you who love God, and love one
another, agree to perform this office of love for each other's
children; and if all you who undertake it perform it faith
fully, with all the wisdom and power God hath given you;
what a foundation of holiness and happiness may be laid,
even to your late posterity ! Then it may justly be hoped,
that not only you and your house, but also the children
which shall be born, shall serve the Lord. ATHLoNE,
August 6, 1752.
