To speak briefly,\r\ntherefore, the Lord acts towards us as we do towards our children.\r\n“Hast thou children? correct them,” is the exhortation of the book of\r\nWisdom, “and bend them from their youth. Hast thou daughters? attend to\r\ntheir body, and let not thy face brighten towards them,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_326\" id=\"FNanchor_326\">[326]</a>—although\r\nwe love our children exceedingly, both sons and daughters, above aught\r\nelse whatever. For those who speak with a man merely to please him,\r\nhave little love for him, seeing they do not pain him; while those that\r\nspeak for his good, though they inflict pain for the time, do him good\r\nfor ever after. It is not immediate pleasure, but future enjoyment,\r\nthat the Lord has in view.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER IX.
