You sell them to be slaves to Satan!
(by Richard Baxter, edited)
Parents! It is in your hands to do your children
the greatest kindness, or cruelty, in all the world!
Help them to know God and to be saved, and
you do more for them than if you helped them
to be lords or princes.
If you neglect their souls, and breed them in
ignorance, worldliness, ungodliness, and sin;
you betray them to the devil, the enemy of
souls, even as truly as if you sold them to him!
You sell them to be slaves to Satan!
You betray them to him that will deceive them
and abuse them in this life, and torment them
in the next!
