Examples
of
early
Piety
.
I.
WHAT
bless'd
Examples
do
I
find
:
Writ
in
the
Word
of
Truth
,
Of
Children
that
began
to
mind
.
Religion
in
their
Youth
?
II
.
JESUS
,
who
reigns
above
the
Sky
,
And
keeps
the
World
in
Awe
,
Was
once
a
Child
as
young
as
I
,
And
kept
his
Father's
Law
.
III
.
At
Twelve
Years
old
he
talk'd
with
Men
,
(
The
Jews
all
wond'ring
stand
)
Yet
he
obey'd
his
Mother
then
,
And
came
at
her
Command
.
IV
.
Children
a
sweet
Hosanna
sung
,
And
blest
their
Saviour's
Name
;
They
gave
him
Honour
with
their
Tongue
,
While
Scribes
and
Priests
blaspheme
.
V.
SAMUEL
the
Child
was
wean'd
and
brought
To
wait
upon
the
LORD
;
Young
TIMOTHY
betimes
was
taught
To
know
his
holy
Word
.
VI
.
Then
why
should
I
so
long
delay
What
others
learnt
so
soon
?
I
would
not
pass
another
Day
Without
this
Work
begun
.
