mother_n the_o entreaty_n of_o a_o mother_n be_v as_o good_a as_o a_o command_n to_o towardly_a child_n and_o what_o child_n more_o towardly_a than_o christ_n or_o what_o mother_n better_a than_o

this_o also_o be_v great_a in_o christ_n since_o it_o be_v not_o divide_v betwixt_o two_o like_a as_o other_o child_n owe_v their_o be_v both_o to_o father_n and_o mother_n for_o he_o take_v humane_a

child_n owe_v duty_n and_o respect_n to_o their_o parent_n although_o they_o intend_v not_o this_o child_n in_o particular_a but_o any_o other_o yea_o although_o they_o beget_v he_o against_o their_o

be_v worship_v as_o second_v god_n &_o that_o the_o debt_n which_o be_v owe_v they_o can_v never_o be_v discharge_v o_o jesus_n who_o doctrine_n transcend_v the_o subtle_a capacity_n of_o

that_o be_v the_o respect_n which_o gentile_n afford_v how_o much_o more_o perfect_a will_v thou_o be_v o_o jesus_n thou_o who_o do_v build_v upon_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o ancient_n and_o add_v
