Mace(i)
4 if a widow has children or grand-children, let them above all things instruct their own family to be religious, and let them be grateful to their parents, for this is acceptable to God.
5 as for the widow, who is really such, and without any assistance, let her place all her hopes in God, and be assiduous in supplication and prayer.
6 the widow of pleasure is dead tho' she lives.
7 these things recommend to them, that they may be without reproach.
8 he that takes no care of his relations, especially those of his own family, has renounc'd the faith and is worse than an infidel.
