English term or phrase: an orderly and well regulated family
We come now to the inquiry, HOW is this habit of obedience to be established? This is not so difficult a matter as many imagine. It does not require profound learning, or a mysterious skill, which pertains but to the few. Where do you find the best regulated families? Are they in the houses of the rich? Do the children of our most eminent men furnish the best patterns for imitation? Obviously not. In some of the most humble dwellings we find the beautiful spectacle of an orderly and well regulated family.

Explanation:
Una busqueda en www.google.com me llevó a un ejemplo en www.bibliajuridica.org. No lo puedo copiar ahora mismo, pero hacía referencia a Vasco de Quiroga y mencionaba una "familia bien regulada"
