written for our instruction the latter is written for our comfort Touching the first he which teacheth vs to honor our father mother doth not teach vs here to contemne father or mother for it is said that he was obedient to his parents This he shewed when being found in the Temple among the doctors he left all to go with his mother because she sought him so he honoured her that he left all for her This he shewed againe at his death being vpon the crosse he was not vnmindful of her for pointing vnto Iohn he said Woman behold thy sonne and pointing vnto him he said Behold thy mother so he commended her to his beloued Disciple before he died therefore this is not a doctrine of disobedience but a rule how to obey As hee taught his disciples to giue vnto Caesar that which is Caesars and to God that which is Gods so he teacheth them here to giue vnto parents that which is parents to the Lord that which is the Lords When God said Honour thy father and thy mother he did not giue a commandement against himselfe therefore he saith Honor me before he saith Honor them The first commandement of the first table is Honor God and the first cōmandement of the second table is Honor Parents lest you should honor your parents before God When Salomon bad his mother aske him any thing denyed her that one thing which shee asked he sheweth that the mother should not be obeyed in all things When Christ said You haue but one father but one master hespake of faith and religion shewing that when it concerneth our faith religiō we shuld respect but one father one master which is the giuer of our faith the mater of our religiō When Paul said Children obey your parents in the Lorde hee meaneth that we should not obey them against the Lorde as when he saith Obey Princes for conscience he meaneth that we should not obey them against conscience Therefore when it commeth to this that the earthly father commaundeth one thing the heauenly Father commaundeth another thing then as Peter aunswered the Rulers so thou maist answere thy parents Whether is it meete to obey God or you then these are the hands which thou must cut off then these are the eyes which thou must pull out or else they should be as deare vnto thee as thy hand or thine eye In MATHEVV Aman must for sake his father mother to dwell with his wife but in LVKE He must for sake father and mother and wife to dwell with Christ for He that for saketh father or mother or wife for me shall receiue more saith our Sauiour nay he which doth not hate father and mother wife for me cannot be my Disciple saith he again in the same Euangelist shewing that our loue towards God should be so great that in respect of it our loue towardes men shoulde seeme to bee but hatred Thus hee that obeyed his parents more than wee yet would haue vs search some sentence some example in scripture of not obeying them too because it is such a hard poynt to know how far they are to be obeied which are set in authoritie ouer vs. As none but God spake alwayes right so none but God must alwayes bee obeyed wee are not called onely the sonnes of men but the sonnes of God Therefore as Christ answered his mother when shee would haue him tourne water into wine Woman what haue I to doe with thee So we should answere father and mother and brethren and sisters and rulers and m●sters ●nd wife too when they will vs to doo that which is not meete Sathan what haue I to doo with thee for else it were to turne wine into water Peter was not Sathan but when hee tempted Christ like Sathan Christ aunswered him as hee aunswered Sathan Come behind mee Sathan shewing that wee shoulde giue no more attention to father or mother or master or wife when they tempt vs to euill than wee should giue to Sathan if he should tempt vs him selfe Three things children receiue of their parents life maintenance and instruction For these three they owe other three for life they owe loue for maintenance they owe obedience for instruction they owe reuerence For life they must be loued as fathers for maintenance they must be obeyed as masters for instruction they must be reuerenced as Tutors But as there is a King of Kings which must be obeyed aboue Kings so there is a father of fathers which must be obeyed aboue fathers Therefore you must aunswere like the sonne when he was bid to goe vnto the vineyard I will goe and sometimes you must aunswere as Christ aunswered I must doe my Fathers busines I haue no other busines VVhen two milch kine did carrie the Arke of the Lorde vnto Bethshemesh their Calues were shut vp at home because the Kine shoulde not staye when they heard their Calues bleat after them so when thou goest about the Lordes busines thou shalt heare a crye of thy Father and mother and thy brethren and thy sisters and of thy kindred to staye thee but then thou must thinke of another father as Christ thought of another mother and so as these Kine went on till the Lord brought them where the Arke should rest so shalt thou goe on till the Lorde bring thee where thou shalt rest It is better to flye from our kinred as Abraham did than to stay with some friends as Sampson did with Dalila I may saye beware of kinsmen as well as our Sauiour sayeth Beware of men for this respect of cosenage hath made Elie his sonnes priestes and this respect of cousenage hath made many like priestes in Europe This respect of cousenage brought Tobia into the Leuites chamber and this respect of cousenage hath brought manie gentlemen into Preachers liuings as Christ preferred his spirituall kinsmen so wee preferre our carnall kinsmen many priuiledges manie offices many giftes wee being by this tempted haue stooped to this voice Thy mother calleth thee or Thy kinsmen would haue thee As this voyce came to Christe whiles hee was labouring so manie such voyces come to vs whiles wee are labouring One saith pleasure woulde speake with you an other sayeth profite would speake with you Another sayeth ease would speake with you an other sayeth abundance woulde speake with you Another sayeth a promotion woulde speake with you Another sayeth Delight woulde speake with you When a man is in a good waye and studyeth the Scriptures to bee a teacher in the Church of GOD a voice commeth into his eare as this came to Christ and sayth thy friendes would haue thee to studie the Lawe or thou shalt attaine to no preferment For the reuerendest of that profession are by the vylest of the people contemned and so sometimes Ionas turneth his sayles from Niniueh to Tharshish If he be a Diuine
