Even the wals are not idle, but something is written or painted thepe which may excite the reader to a thought of piety ; especially the 101 Fsalnij which is expressed in a fayre table as being the rule of a family. And when ^ By the custom of London the estates of freemen of the city dying intestate were vested in the corporation, and the Mayor and Aldermen were guardians of the minor children. 52 A PEIEST TO THE TEMPLE they go abroad, liis wife among her neighbours is the beginner of good dis...courses, his children among children, his servants among other serv- ants ; so that as in the house of those that are skill' d in Musick all are Musicians ; so in the house of a Preacher all are preachers. He suffers not a ly or equivocation by any means in his house, but counts it the art and secret of gov- erning to preserve a directinesse and open plain- nesse in all things ; so that all his house knowes that there is no help for a fault done but con- fession. He himselfe or his Wife takes account of Sermons and how every one profits, comparing this yeer with the last ; and besides the common prayers of the family, he straitly requires of all to pray by themselves before they sleep at night and stir out in the morning, and knows what prayers they say, and till they have learned them makes them kneel by him ; esteeming that this private praying is a more voluntary * act in them then when they are called to others' prayers, and that which when they leave the family they carry with them.
