commandment_n knit_v we_o all_o together_o in_o one_o and_o so_o lay_v the_o very_a foundation_n next_o after_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n own_o person_n of_o every_o state_n or_o commonwealth_n and_o in_o deed_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o so_o knit_v together_o as_o for_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o subjection_n and_o glad_o to_o honour_n and_o reverence_v each_o other_o but_o of_o this_o commandment_n there_o be_v likewise_o two_o principal_a part_n first_o the_o commandment_n itself_o then_o the_o promise_v annex_v thereunto_o in_o the_o commandment_n itself_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v first_o what_o it_o require_v than_o what_o it_o forbid_v it_o require_v first_o the_o branch_n then_o also_o the_o root_n and_o whatsoever_o other_o branch_n come_v out_o of_o the_o same_o the_o branch_n of_o which_o first_o it_o speak_v be_v to_o honour_v our_o natural_a parent_n the_o root_n out_o of_o which_o this_o branch_n do_v grow_v be_v a_o serious_a and_o a_o diligent_a consideration_n how_o good_a thing_n it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o geve_v forth_o in_o the_o world_n to_o our_o use_n and_o namely_o so_o much_o as_o appertain_v to_o this_o present_a branch_n how_o great_a good_a thing_n he_o have_v bestow_v on_o we_o by_o our_o natural_a other_o parent_n the_o other_o branch_n that_o come_v out_o of_o this_o root_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o honour_v all_o other_o to_o who_o we_o find_v ourselves_o to_o be_v bind_v for_o the_o like_a good_a thing_n wherewith_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o our_o use_n to_o furnish_v they_o and_o therein_o to_o make_v they_o in_o effect_v our_o parent_n but_o because_o there_o be_v very_o many_o that_o by_o this_o account_n must_v be_v have_v in_o reverence_n of_o we_o though_o not_o all_o alike_o it_o shall_v be_v needful_a first_o to_o see_v who_o they_o be_v and_o than_o what_o kind_n of_o honour_n appertain_v to_o every_o of_o they_o begin_v therefore_o to_o search_v out_o who_o they_o be_v who_o it_o have_v please_v god_n in_o this_o respect_n to_o make_v our_o parent_n here_o must_v we_o needs_o begin_v with_o the_o they_o man_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o it_o have_v please_v the_o godhead_n that_o all_o fullness_n shall_v dwell_v and_o that_o in_o he_o shall_v be_v lay_v up_o for_o we_o all_o the_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o god_n gooodnes_n that_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o very_a foundation_n or_o the_o corner_n stone_n of_o our_o mutual_a society_n one_o with_o a_o other_o so_o may_v we_o find_v in_o he_o that_o which_o may_v sufficient_o commend_v he_o unto_o we_o in_o that_o respect_n and_o have_v he_o fu_o furnish_v thereunto_o from_o christ_n descend_v to_o man_n on_o earth_n we_o find_v of_o they_o two_o sort_n first_o those_o unto_o who_o we_o be_v special_o bind_v then_o all_o other_o we_o be_v special_o bind_v unto_o three_o sort_n first_o to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o as_o

have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o or_o bear_v good_a will_n unto_o we_o as_o kinsfolk_n neighbour_n and_o all_o other_o friend_n all_o other_o likewise_o come_v under_o this_o account_n for_o that_o they_o be_v or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v for_o aught_o that_o we_o know_v even_o the_o far_a and_o mean_a of_o all_o to_o very_o great_a use_n unto_o we_o three_o have_v so_o take_v in_o all_o live_a man_n we_o have_v yet_o to_o stretch_v forth_o this_o consideration_n to_o many_o other_o angel_n dead_a man_n and_o other_o creature_n first_o as_o touch_v angel_n they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v into_o this_o account_n for_o that_o it_o please_v god_n to_o use_v their_o ministry_n or_o service_n to_o our_o use_n here_o in_o this_o world_n of_o dead_a man_n that_o belong_v hereunto_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n the_o former_a be_v of_o those_o that_o perhaps_o be_v depart_v long_o since_o and_o yet_o have_v so_o bestow_v their_o time_n while_o they_o live_v that_o they_o be_v in_o remembrance_n
