commandment_n the_o lord_n forbid_v false_a witness_n bear_v which_o be_v no_o small_a hindrance_n to_o the_o end_n of_o controversy_n &_o do_v command_v that_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n both_o before_o the_o magistrate_n and_o elsewhere_o in_o all_o kind_n of_o matter_n final_o because_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v spiritual_a he_o will_v teach_v we_o that_o his_o law_n also_o be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v that_o not_o only_o outward_a obedience_n be_v require_v by_o it_o as_o the_o law_n make_v by_o man_n do_v but_o even_o the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n therefore_o under_o the_o name_n of_o concupiscence_n which_o he_o forbid_v in_o the_o last_o commandment_n he_o require_v also_o this_o that_o we_o obey_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o will_n the_o five_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n honour_n thy_o father_n &_o thy_o mother_n that_o thy_o day_n may_v belong_v in_o the_o land_n which_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n give_v thou_o theop._n let_v we_o go_v to_o the_o particular_a exposition_n of_o each_o commandment_n of_o the_o last_o table_n and_o let_v we_o begin_v at_o the_o five_o which_o be_v the_o first_o these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o it_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n etc._n etc._n of_o how_o many_o part_n stand_v it_o math._n of_o two_o the_o first_o be_v a_o precept_n namely_o that_o we_o honour_v father_n and_o mother_n the_o other_o be_v a_o promise_n make_v to_o the_o keeper_n of_o this_o commandment_n which_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v live_v long_o wherein_o secret_o be_v contain_v a_o threaten_n against_o such_o as_o break_v it_o theoph._n that_o we_o may_v clear_o understand_v the_o former_a part_n two_o question_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v of_o us._n first_o who_o god_n comprehend_v under_o the_o name_n of_o parent_n parent_n who_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o name_n of_o parent_n and_o second_o what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o name_n of_o honor._n answer_v therefore_o to_o the_o first_o question_n matth._n under_o the_o name_n of_o parent_n they_o all_o be_v comprehend_v who_o by_o any_o mean_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o office_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o parent_n towards_o we_o namely_o they_o that_o ought_v to_o have_v care_n for_o our_o instruction_n health_n life_n preservation_n of_o our_o good_n credit_n and_o peace_n for_o in_o these_o thing_n be_v contain_v the_o duty_n of_o parent_n towards_o their_o child_n therefore_o under_o the_o name_n of_o parent_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v first_o 1_o guardian_n &_o tutor_n that_o be_v to_o we_o in_o stead_n of_o parent_n 2_o magistrate_n who_o also_o be_v call_v father_n of_o the_o country_n 3_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n and_o schoolmaster_n which_o be_v our_o spiritual_a parent_n 4_o husband_n towards_o their_o wife_n 5_o master_n towards_o their_o servant_n theoph._n what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n have_v comprehend_v all_o these_o above_o mention_v under_o the_o name_n of_o parent_n mat._n because_o such_o be_v the_o naughtiness_n and_o pride_n of_o man_n nature_n for_o it_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o the_o desire_n of_o highness_n and_o excellency_n that_o it_o hardly_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o any_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o superiority_n be_v speak_v of_o for_o a_o example_n that_o be_v by_o nature_n most_o amiable_a and_o least_o envy_v because_o it_o may_v more_o easy_o soften_v our_o mind_n and_o bow_v they_o to_o the_o custom_n of_o subjection_n theoph._n signify_v what_o the_o word_n honour_n signify_v let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o other_o question_n what_o contain_v the_o honour_n which_o we_o be_v command_v to_o give_v to_o our_o parent_n matth._n it_o stand_v upon_o three_o part_n first_o 1_o upon_o outward_a salvation_n proceed_v from_o the_o inward_a reverence_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o yield_v unto_o they_o which_o shall_v be_v do_v if_o we_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o our_o good_a 2_o the_o second_o be_v the_o obedience_n that_o we_o perform_v to_o their_o commandment_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o then_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o peter_n 29._o act._n 5._o 29._o we_o ought_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n 3_o the_o three_o be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v poor_a we_o do_v help_v they_o with_o our_o good_n it_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o be_v observe_v that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o prescribe_v a_o rule_n to_o inferior_n whereby_o they_o may_v give_v due_a honour_n to_o their_o superior_n but_o do_v also_o teach_v superior_n their_o duty_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v to_o their_o inferior_n theop._n what_o if_o the_o superior_n fail_v in_o their_o duty_n be_v not_o the_o inferior_n discharge_v from_o the_o honour_n due_a to_o they_o matth._n no_o not_o so_o for_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o excuse_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o moreover_o the_o obedience_n we_o give_v they_o be_v direct_o refer_v unto_o god_n of_o who_o it_o be_v command_v and_o not_o proper_o to_o themselves_o theoph._n we_o have_v stay_v long_o enough_o upon_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o commandment_n let_v we_o therefore_o come_v to_o the_o other_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n the_o word_n whereof_o be_v these_o that_o thou_o may_v live_v long_o in_o the_o land_n which_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n give_v thou_o to_o the_o exposition_n whereof_o there_o be_v five_o thing_n whereof_o i_o will_v ask_v thou_o 1_o first_o why_o the_o lord_n join_v a_o promise_n to_o this_o commandment_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o this_o late_a table_n 2_o why_o he_o promise_v long_a life_n rather_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o 3_o what_o good_a we_o have_v by_o long_a life_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o trouble_n 4_o what_o that_o land_n be_v whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o this_o place_n 5_o how_o this_o promise_n be_v fulfil_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o sometime_o obedient_a child_n be_v take_v away_o by_o untimely_a death_n and_o the_o stubborn_a and_o disobedient_a live_v long_o now_o therefore_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o lord_n join_v a_o promise_n to_o this_o commandment_n matt._n he_o teach_v superior_n by_o his_o own_o example_n how_o they_o ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o their_o inferior_n namely_o to_o allure_v they_o to_o obedience_n rather_o by_o gentleness_n &_o promise_n they_o by_o severity_n &_o punishment_n theoph._n go_v forward_o and_o in_o like_a sort_n answer_v to_o the_o second_o why_o be_v long_a life_n promise_v by_o god_n rather_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o matth._n the_o promise_n be_v very_o fit_o apply_v to_o the_o commandment_n itself_o for_o it_o teach_v modest_a and_o obedient_a child_n while_o they_o honour_v the_o instrument_n of_o this_o life_n grant_v to_o they_o namely_o their_o parent_n that_o they_o shall_v long_o enjoy_v it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n it_o threaten_v death_n to_o the_o disobedient_a because_o they_o be_v altogether_o unworthy_a to_o have_v the_o use_n of_o that_o benefit_n the_o instrument_n whereof_o they_o honour_v not_o theoph._n the_o three_o point_n follow_v what_o profit_n have_v we_o by_o a_o long_a life_n see_v it_o be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o affliction_n math._n i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o this_o corporal_a life_n if_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n be_v most_o miserable_a &_o unhappy_a but_o it_o be_v a_o blessing_n to_o the_o faithful_a for_o continue_v in_o it_o we_o serve_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o sometime_o he_o grant_v we_o this_o that_o with_o great_a peace_n and_o quietness_n we_o enjoy_v sundry_a temporal_a benefit_n moreover_o this_o promise_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o common_a opinion_n of_o man_n for_o they_o account_v long_a life_n for_o a_o great_a blessing_n theoph._n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o four_o point_n what_o be_v that_o land_n whereof_o the_o lord_n make_v mention_v in_o this_o place_n matth._n in_o respect_n of_o the_o israelite_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o possess_v it_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o it_o be_v extend_v further_a for_o wheresoever_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n we_o have_v right_a of_o dwell_v there_o from_o the_o lord_n who_o the_o earth_n be_v theoph._n the_o last_o point_n be_v behind_o how_o this_o promise_n be_v fulfil_v see_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o many_o place_n obedient_a and_o sober_a child_n die_v be_v young_a and_o the_o disobedient_a live_v long_o matth._n it_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o example_n of_o absolom_n core_n dathan_n abiron_n &_o of_o
