doth not command us to imitate as the effects of his Omnipotency but ho● will have us imitate his vertues and his perfections that we learn of him that he is meek that we be merciful as he is merciful and that we be holy as he is holy Lastly he will that we imitate his labour and his rest Q.

Not only those who have begotten and brought us into the World but also our Kings and Princes our Governours and our Magistrates our Guardians our Pastors our Masters our Tutors and generally all our Superiors Q. How must they be honoured A. We ought not only to have for them a singular esteem but also show our respect to them by our words our gestures and our actions to love them cordially fear to offend them obe● their commands and if they be in want to ●elieve them with all our power Q. But m●st that honour be paid to all superiours without any exception A. Ye● ●o ●ll not only to the good and gentle but also to the froward 1 Pet. 2. we must be subject not only for f●ar of wrath but also for conscience sake Rom 13. Q. Must they be obe●ed in all things A. Yes in every thing wherein God is not offended as the Apostle St Paul teacheth us in Ephes the 6. and Colos the 3d. Children obey your Parents in all things in the Lord for this is right Q.

Because Parents bear his Image in a particular manner God will that we honour them above every body in the World and to incite us to that duty he makes us that promise Q. What signifies may be long when God saith that thy days may be long in the land A. The meaning is not that our days shall be longer than they are to be for they are determined God hath prescribed our limits and we shall not go beyond Job 14 But the meaning is that we shall prosper and that we shall live long on the Earth as St Paul shews it Ephes 16. Q Of what land doth God speak he●e A. It is especially of the land of Canaan that God gave the Children of Israel in heritage Q. Doth this promise of living long on the ●arth concern particularly the Jews or doth it belong in general to all the Faithful A. It concerns particularly the Jews because the land of Canaan was the figure of the heavenly inheritance and that a long and happy life in that land was the Image of the Eternal felicity we shall enjoy in Paradice but it belongs also to all the faithful for the Earth is the Lords and the fulness thereof and every where the hoary head is a Crown of glory if it be found in the way of righteousness 1 Cor. 10. Prov. 16. Q. Doth God give long life to all the Children that honour their Parents A. There are several to whom God accomplishes this promise literally and that he blesses with his most precious blessings but there are also Children most obedient to their Parents and in which one may see the seeds of a great Piety the da●s whereof God shortens Q How is it that God accomplishes his promise to the Children that ●e taketh so soon out of the World A. All temporal promises ought to be understood conditionally as much as God judgeth it expedient for his glory and our salvation God in taking those Children out of the World receiveth them into his glory for Jesus Christ teacheth us that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them Matth. 19. Of the sixth Commandment Q. WHAT doth God forbid in the sixth Commandment A. Not only deliberate Murder but all means of shedding blood as beating striking quarrelling abusing our Neighbour he forbids also hatreds and animosities for whosoever hateth his Brother is a Murderer 1 John 3. Q. The Prince and the Magistrate who causes Criminals to be put to death ought he to be put in the rank of Murderers A.
