of_o the_o querie_n shall_v be_v fortify_v by_o these_o several_a authority_n follow_v it_o be_v the_o advice_n of_o st._n paul_n child_n obey_v your_o parent_n in_o the_o lord_n upon_o which_o word_n st._n hierome_n thus_o gloss_v for_o child_n not_o to_o obey_v their_o parent_n be_v a_o sin_n but_o because_o parent_n may_v haply_o command_v that_o which_o be_v unlawful_a therefore_o he_o add_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o st._n chrysostom_n expound_v they_o child_n obey_v your_o parent_n in_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n wherein_o you_o shall_v not_o disobey_v god_n musonius_n express_v himself_o thus_o if_o a_o son_n shall_v refuse_v to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o a_o father_n in_o such_o command_v as_o be_v impious_a and_o ungodly_a he_o shall_v not_o be_v account_v as_o

his_o son_n to_o betray_v his_o country_n to_o kill_v his_o own_o mother_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o the_o middle_a way_n be_v best_a and_o safe_a in_o some_o thing_n we_o must_v in_o other_o some_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v so_o seneca_n the_o father_n all_o command_v oblige_v we_o not_o unto_o obedience_n so_o quintilian_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o child_n shall_v execute_v all_o their_o parent_n command_v for_o there_o may_v be_v many_o thing_n which_o though_o command_v may_v not_o lawful_o be_v do_v as_o if_o a_o father_n command_v his_o son_n to_o give_v his_o suffrage_n or_o to_o pass_v a_o sentence_n contrary_n to_o his_o judgement_n or_o to_o bear_v witness_n to_o that_o whereof_o he_o be_v ignorant_a if_o my_o father_n command_v i_o to_o burn_v the_o capitol_n to_o possess_v myself_o of_o such_o a_o fort_n or_o castle_n i_o may_v lawful_o answer_v these_o thing_n i_o must_v not_o do_v i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n of_o duty_n with_o that_o story_n
