Without a Strict Hand over us, in the Institution of our Youth, we
are in Danger to be Lost for ever. _He that Spares the Rod, Hates the
Child_; and the Severity of an Early Discipline is One of the Greatest
Obligations that a Son can have to a Tender Parent. This we shall find to
be True, if we do but set the Good against the Bad, as the _Dog_ did the
_Knocks_, and then Ballance the Account.
