His house was another Bethel, for he did not onely constantly upon conscientious principles use morning and evening Prayer and reading the sacred Scriptures in his Family; but also he catechized his children, and servants, wherein God gave him a singular gift for their edification; for in teaching them he used not any set form, but so, as that he brought them whom he instructed, to express the principles taught them in their own words; so that his children (as Gregory Nazianzen saith of his Father) found him as well a spiritual as a natural Father.
