Chapter saith Who that doth honour his father he shall haue delyte in hys chyldren and he shall obteyne hys request in that day that he dothe praye he that honoureth his father shall haue longe lyfe and he that is obedient vnto his sather shall make hys mother glad Honour thy father that thou mayste be blessed of god c. Furthermore Christe the sonne of god and our sauyour the xv Chapter of Matthew Chydynge y e Pharises saith Wherfore do you breke the commaundemente of God for your owne traditions For god commaunded saying honour thy father and mother and who so euer curseth father or mother shal dye the death Also Sainct Paul to the Ephesians the 5. Chapter sayth Chyldren obey your parentes in the lorde for that is ryghte honoure your father and mother in the lord whiche is the fyrste commaundemente that hath any promes that it may be well vnto the and that thou mayste lyue longe vpon the earth yea heare well beloued chyldren how this fourth precepte both in the olde Testamente and also in the new is very often tymes repeted wyth out doubte euen onely for this cause y t god shoulde shew that this commaundemente shoulde not escape the remembraunce of chyldren and that it shoulde be alwayes vnto them as the moste necessaryest thyng perteynyng to them in the house yea and also euen that thyng which almyghtie god hath declared bye many examples for why in lyke case as god did curse Cham the sonne of Noe for that he had no honour vnto his father Euē in lyke case did he blesse Sem the sonne of Noe for that he dyd reuerently honour his father as it dothe appeare in the ix Chapter of Gene. And it is not vnknowen what dyd chaunce to Absalon the second boke of y e kynges the xviij Chapter For that he gaue not dewe honour vnto his father Dauid as he ought to do But what neade I too set fourth any more examples as whoo shoulde say that the holy scripture were not ful of examples with the which god doth now shew that he fauoureth those which honor their parentes so to hate those which do not their duetie in honourynge their parentes These thynges I thynke well beloued chyldren shall kyndle you that ye should haue dewe honour vnto your patentes it is the fyrste commaundement of god hauyng promes that is not once much spoken of abrode but we fynde it very often repeted in holy scripture yea and also by examples wyth the whiche God sheweth inobediente chyldren toward their parentes y t he wyll be auenged of thē And in examples to the whiche he doth declare how iust he is of his promes toward those chyldren whiche loue their parētes honor thē obei thē For that which I here say of parēts y t self same I will you to vnderstande of maisters professours of thy deuine word of all Maiestrates for as I haue sayd a litle before in this commaundemente all obedyence is commaunded toowardes euery man our dutie once done to god the which be called to the hygheste honoure Iesus Christe the sone of God graunt that that thinge the which is required of you in this commaundement that you earnestly may performe it with the helpe of his spyryte and that you may both mynd it and folow it for god is he which worketh in you bothe for to wyll it and to performe it after as it shall please him to y e Philippi 2.

Chapter Let not man seperate those whom god doth ioyne And after the saying of Salomon in his proucrbes the 19. Chapter God dothe gyue vs a wyse wyfe we muste loue her withe all our hearte and to be content onely with her and to desyre none other Whyche commaundemente Christ in Matthew the 5. Chapter doth interpretate both a gainste the perswations of the Iewes and also of them whiche counte theymselues christians ye haue hearde that it was sayde vnto the elders thou shalte not commyt adultrye But I tell you who so euer loketh vpō an other mans wyfe to luste after her hath commytted in his herte adultry withe her beholde ye haue hearde well beloued Chyldrē that it is not Inough if any manne do not commyt adultry with an other mannes wyfe but if he burne in hys herte with desirynge of his neighbours wyfe this precepte doth admony she vs that we shoulde take hede as well of y e herte as of all other thynges For oute of the herte cometh all euyll thoughtes adultry fornycation Matthew the 15. Chapter Furthermore this commatindemente doth require in his kynde that y u shuldest leab a chast lyfe and flee whore dome and that thou shouldest be cleane as well in soule as body And if thou fealest that thou caust not lyue contenente or chaste for this worde ought chieflye to be noted that Christe spake few hath this gyfte that then he shoulde marry in the whiche thou oughtest so to ordre thy lyfe for to be contented withe thye wife and to leaue other mens wines vntouched To be short there is conteyned in this precepte and prohibited all maner of kyndes of lustes whych eyther may be done or expressed with fylthy cōmunication or desyred with euyll thoughtes of the herte And this commaundement is furthermore called to remembraunce in the holy scriptures Salomon saith in his prouerbes A wife shal make the mery how yonge so euer shee be euen as a pleasant Doo or as a lustye fawen and therefore contente thy selfe alway in the loue of her and continually study to loue her and by and by he addeth o my sonne wherefore wylte thou be seduced by an harlotte and wylt imbrace a straunge woman Paule in his firste Epistle to the Corinthians the 6. Chapter saith flee whoredome And in his fyrste Epistle to the Thessalonians the 4. Chapter sayth This is the wyll of god your sainctificatiō that ye shuld absteyne from whordom and that euerye one of you shuld knowe how to possesse your vessell in sanctifycation and honour And here Paul doth often tymes exhorte men that they should loue their wynes and that they shoulde loue them so as Christe hath loued hys churche to the Ephesians the 5. Chapter And to the Collossi the 3. Chapter Ye men saith Sainct Paul loue your wynes and be not sharpe towardes theym furthermore for that that god wyll punisshe greuousely as well formcation as adultry it may be confirmed as well with the open testymonies of holy scripture as with examples of the same ouer and besides I wyll here hold my peace of the madnes with y e which god doth make blynde both whoremongers and adulterers After the sayinge of Oseas Fornication wyne doth make blynd a mans herte And after the sayinge of S. Paul the firste Epistle to the Corinthyans the 6. Chapter Yee can not be bothe the members of an harlot and the mēbers of christ both here in y e world to come excepte they do repente they wyll be punnisshed as well whormongers as adulterers Salomon in his prouerbes y e 6. chapter sayth Foles when they commyte fornication they forsake their lyfe bryng vpon them as wel de fourmytie as a plage and they can neuer a voyde the sclaunder paule in hys fyrste Epystle to the Corinthyans the 6. chapter sayth Be not disceyued neyther whoremongers nor adulteters shal receyue the inheritaunce of the kyngedome of heauen To the gala the 5. chapter the workes of the flesh be manyfest adultry whordome vncleanesse wanton nesse c. Who so euer do those thyngs they shall not be the in heritours of the kyngedome of Heauen to the Hebrues the 13. Chapter God shall iudge whoremongers and adulterers Furthermore for that that god will punnish them with greuous paynes the fyrste epystle of sayntte Paule to the Corin. the 10. chapter Declareth neyther let vs be defyled with adultrye lyke as some of them were defyled and ther fell in on daye 3 and twentye thousand The xxv Chapter of y e 4 boke of Moyses Gene. the 20. and 6. Chapter God did
