We must have a
special eye upon families, to see that they are well ordered, and the
duties of each relation performed. The life of religion, and the welfare
and glory of both the Church and the State, depend much on family
government and duty. If we suffer the neglect of this, we shall undo
all…. I beseech you, therefore, if you desire the reformation and
welfare of your people, do all you can to promote family religion.—Richard Baxter
