here_o command_v to_o be_v honour_v 1._o because_o the_o fatherlike_a power_n and_o government_n be_v the_o first_o among_o man_n 2._o because_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n according_a to_o which_o other_o be_v to_o be_v compose_v and_o frame_v and_o god_n will_v have_v superior_n bear_v a_o fatherlike_a mind_n and_o affection_n towards_o their_o inferior_n 3._o because_o it_o be_v most_o belove_a of_o all_o man_n so_o that_o to_o it_o and_o in_o regard_n of_o it_o they_o easy_o submit_v themselves_o 4._o because_o see_v the_o bond_n of_o duty_n towards_o parent_n be_v the_o great_a the_o contempt_n of_o they_o be_v the_o more_o heinous_a and_o grievous_a which_o therefore_o also_o be_v with_o great_a severity_n condemn_v by_o god_n in_o this_o commandment_n than_o be_v prescribe_v the_o honour_n not_o only_o of_o parent_n but_o also_o of_o all_o superior_n and_o likewise_o the_o obedience_n not_o only_o of_o child_n but_o also_o of_o all_o inferior_n herein_o also_o be_v

the_o mutual_a duty_n of_o both_o party_n command_v for_o when_o god_n command_v the_o duty_n of_o inferior_n towards_o superior_n he_o do_v also_o of_o the_o contrary_a command_n the_o duty_n of_o superior_n towards_o inferior_n and_o when_o he_o command_v parent_n to_o be_v honour_v he_o will_v withal_o that_o both_o they_o be_v as_o parent_n to_o we_o and_o also_o behave_v themselves_o as_o worthy_a of_o honour_n that_o be_v to_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o parent_n and_o see_v he_o prescribe_v the_o duty_n of_o parent_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o also_o injoyn_v the_o duty_n of_o other_o who_o bear_v rule_v whereas_o they_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o name_n of_o parent_n so_o also_o he_o command_v the_o duty_n of_o child_n when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o honour_v their_o parent_n and_o therein_o also_o not_o only_o the_o duty_n of_o child_n but_o of_o all_o inferior_n also_o because_o he_o will_v that_o all_o superior_n be_v honour_v of_o the_o inferior_n hence_o we_o easy_o answer_v that_o objection_n object_n god_n in_o this_o commandment_n will_v only_o our_o parent_n to_o be_v worship_v which_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o inferior_n therefore_o he_o command_v nothing_o here_o to_o superior_n ans_fw-fr i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n of_o this_o reason_n and_o rather_o by_o retortion_n of_o the_o argument_n thus_o conclude_v because_o he_o command_v parent_n to_o be_v honour_v therefore_o he_o prescribe_v the_o duty_n of_o superior_n for_o when_o he_o give_v the_o name_n to_o the_o superior_n he_o give_v they_o also_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o that_o from_o whence_o they_o have_v the_o name_n and_o if_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v honour_v he_o will_v also_o have_v they_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v worthy_a of_o honour_n and_o albeit_o sometime_o wicked_a man_n bear_v rule_v and_o therefore_o be_v unworthy_a of_o honour_n yet_o the_o office_n be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o person_n and_o who_o
