1. Negligence in not instructing their Children early in life.
2. Not correcting them till it be too late: or doing it with bitterness, without Compassion, Instruction, and Prayer.
3. Giving them ill example.
4. Neglect of bringing them up in some lawful Calling.
5. Not bestowing them timely, and religiously in Marriage.
6. Light behavior before them, and too much familiarity with them; whereby they become vile in their eyes.
7. Loving beauty, or any outward parts, more than God's Image in them.

I pray for these things now. So important.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Excellent
#6 would need clarification. But on the surface I would not agree with that one, as I understand it's meaning.
#6 may refer to parents wanting their young children to be happy and love them so rather than training them in the fear of God, a parent may indulge their child and not give them the loving discipline they so need.
