The parents pious gift; or a choice present for children. [electronic resource] : Set forth in a dialogue between a religious father and an extravagant son. Containing a dispute about bad company, or evil communication, pride, drunkenness, riotous living, and all the vanities of a vicious course of life: for which the young man earnestly contended, till by the grace of God, and the endeavours of his religous father, he was brought from the danger of death and destruction to the hope of life and immortality. Concluding with the young man's Christian courage and conquest over the tempter, who came to disturb him in his private closet when in tears and repenting: it being an excellent pattern for all young persons to set before them in these present sinfull times.
