some_o regard_n a_o man_n owe_v more_o affection_n to_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n then_o to_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n for_o he_o must_v forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n and_o cleave_v to_o his_o wife_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o honour_n the_o parent_n have_v always_o the_o pre-eminence_n in_o our_o affection_n many_o time_n they_o have_v the_o second_o place_n but_o in_o honour_n and_o reverence_n they_o shall_v still_o be_v first_o wherefore_o the_o law_n command_v child_n to_o fear_v those_o that_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o world_n namely_o the_o mother_n before_o the_o father_n the_o decalogue_n say_v honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n but_o in_o the_o 19_o of_o leviticus_n ver_fw-la 3._o it_o be_v say_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v fear_v his_o mother_n and_o his_o father_n here_o the_o mother_n be_v first_o name_v we_o must_v observe_v that_o in_o this_o passage_n the_o law_n giver_n speak_v of_o the_o fear_n which_o the_o child_n shall_v have_v towards_o those_o that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o their_o generation_n the_o love_n which_o they_o carry_v to_o the_o child_n cause_v sometime_o that_o he_o fear_v they_o not_o therefore_o god_n command_v he_o to_o fear_v they_o now_o because_o the_o mother_n have_v the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o natural_a affection_n towards_o the_o child_n and_o consequent_o be_v less_o fear_v god_n have_v enforce_v this_o obligation_n of_o the_o child_n towards_o the_o mother_n name_v her_o first_o before_o the_o father_n in_o this_o commandment_n which_o injoyn_v to_o fear_v they_o both_o so_o this_o duty_n towards_o the_o mother_n be_v more_o subject_a to_o be_v infringe_v be_v make_v so_o much_o considerable_a in_o that_o it_o be_v put_v in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o promise_v annex_v to_o the_o

know_v why_o god_n in_o this_o commandment_n have_v rather_o promise_v life_n than_o any_o other_o blessing_n from_o our_o parent_n we_o have_v receive_v our_o life_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o life_n be_v promise_v to_o he_o that_o shall_v honour_v those_o of_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v it_o for_o as_o the_o punishment_n sometime_o answer_v the_o offence_n by_o the_o law_n of_o retaliation_n even_o so_o many_o time_n god_n remunerate_v a_o good_a work_n by_o some_o favour_n answer_v the_o same_o in_o some_o similitude_n so_o abraham_n offer_v his_o only_a son_n and_o god_n promise_v he_o thousand_o of_o child_n gen._n 22.16_o 17._o so_o jacob_n who_o have_v feed_v joseph_n by_o the_o space_n of_o seventeen_o year_n be_v reciprocal_o feed_v by_o joseph_n in_o egypt_n the_o space_n of_o seventeen_o year_n so_o abraham_n and_o lot_n for_o their_o hospitality_n to_o man_n have_v the_o honour_n to_o entertain_v angel_n so_o rachab_n have_v preserve_v the_o spy_n in_o her_o house_n be_v herself_o preserve_v with_o her_o house_n so_o the_o house_n of_o obed_n edom_n be_v bless_v for_o have_v receive_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n so_o ezechias_n have_v reign_v 14_o year_n religious_o receive_v from_o god_n a_o addition_n of_o fifteen_o year_n a_o term_n long_o than_o the_o former_a so_o daniel_n and_o his_o fellow_n refuse_v to_o desile_n themselves_o with_o the_o king_n of_o

have_v be_v exalt_v '_o its_o true_a we_o find_v not_o always_o this_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n and_o the_o reward_n but_o though_o god_n do_v not_o still_o pay_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n yet_o he_o give_v that_o which_o be_v equivalent_a yea_o infinite_o better_a if_o he_o do_v not_o bestow_v long_a life_n upon_o earth_n he_o give_v that_o which_o be_v eternal_a in_o heaven_n now_o why_o he_o give_v to_o some_o a_o long_o to_z other_o a_o short_a life_n there_o be_v other_o reason_n but_o secret_a i_o will_v observe_v some_o example_n why_o fifteen_o year_n be_v add_v to_o the_o

that_o he_o will_v deliver_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o assyrian_n and_o will_v defend_v jerusalem_n the_o capital_a city_n so_o the_o fifteen_o year_n that_o be_v promise_v to_o ezechias_n do_v express_v also_o the_o continuance_n and_o establishment_n of_o his_o kingdom_n we_o must_v observe_v then_o that_o ezechias_n be_v the_o fifteen_o king_n that_o reign_v in_o judea_n in_o which_o
