her disastrous to thy selfe Let not the wife then count that bitter which is sweet Neyther let the husband under these pretences obtrude upon her that for sweet which indeed is bitter But if the wife b● subject let the husband love So shall the ballance bee equally poysed and marriage if it be a bondage will prove such a one as is onely knit in love-knots The yoke of it will be drawne with pleasure and delight to Gods glory and their owne comfort The Ground of the first Booke of the second TOME Children obey your parents in all things for this is wel-pleasing unto the Lord. TOM II. LIB I. The duty of children to their parents FRom the first oeconomicall combination which was betwixt the husband and the wife we come now to the second which is betwixt the parent and the childe And here as in the former in exacting those mutuall duties which are to be performed by the one to the other our Apostle begins with the weaker and that as I conjecture eyther for the same reasons alledged there or others not much unlike For first of all children are usually more defective towards their parents than parents can bee toward them Hoc est amor in ho●inibus quod humor in arboribus Even corrupted nature teacheth every one to be carefully provident for his own For according to Gerson Naturaliter ascendit su●cus à radi●e ad ramos non è converso The sappe which is in Trees ascendeth naturally from the roote to the branches and not contrarily Secondly when children shall truely tender their obedience parents can not chuse but afford their love To come then to a particular consideration of the Apostles words wee have in them two things Regulam et rationem Regulae First a Rule Children obey your parents in all things Secondly a reason of this rule For this is well pleasing unto the Lord. In the rule wee may observe 4 things First the persons whom it concernes Children Secondly the duty which is exacted by it Obedience Thirdly To whom they are to tender it Parents Fourthly and lastly How farre In all things Children obey your parents in Children As touching the first In the originall we reade 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whereby is signified unto us a mans whole progeny So that sonnes and daughters are not onely to bee understood here but likewise nephew and neeces For even these are comprehended and that according to Law and Scripture under the name of Children As when the Iewes without any distinction are called the Children of Israel It is a rule then which concerneth all The Athenians according to Thucydides idly conceited their originall to bee from out the earth but reason and religion both teach us that man is the off-spring of man Whosoever therefore is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the childe of any one he hath by vertue of this title some to whom he owes all honour and obedience And it is neyther length of time nor difference in state that can authorize a dispensation for this duty For as touching the first It is not onely during our non-age and minority but likewise in our best maturity that we must with all due reverence subject our wils to their commands And as concerning the later Though in a civill and politicke respect a publique Magistrate bee more honourable than a private man yet as he is a sonne he is to count himselfe inferiour unto him from whom his being is derived Iacob was in great want when hee departed out of Canaan Ioseph his sonne yet being a Prince in Aegypt and one whom Pharaoh had made his Lord-high-Constable as it were for the government of his whole land caused his Chariot to be made ready and went up with all observance to meet Isaac his father Yee may see the like respect in Salomon 1 Kin. 2.19 His mother did no sooner approach but hee rose from our the seate of Majesty and bowed himselfe unto her Yea our Saviour Christ a greater farre then Salomon neglected not the meanenesse of his Parents but notwithstanding he was King of Kings and Lord of Lords he thought it no disadvantage to his dignity Luke 5.51 to shew himselfe subject unto them In a word then whosoever is a childe stands lyable to this rule and it is neither wealth nor age nor honour or the like which can unloose this tie The word is indefinite and without all exemption or limitation Children obey And so from the persons whom this rule concernes I come to the duty which hereby is required Obey The word in the originall is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and according to the native signification which it carrieth denotes unto us two things First the matter that must be tendred Secondly the manner how it must be rendered For first it implies an humble promptitude in entertaining the commands of others Secondly a chearefull application of our best endeavours to a quicke and full performance of the same The severall parts then whereof this obedience heere required doth consist are these First to doe that which our parents shall injoyne us Secondly to learne that which they shall teach us Thirdly to redresse and amend what ever they reprove as faulty in us As touching the first Obedience hath ever beene magnified both of God and man The off-spring of the righteous is obedience and love The Rechabites shall never want a Panegyricke to testifie their obedience to the world Hier. 35.2 no though the booke of Hieremy the Prophet happen to bee cut againe with a pen-knife and burnt upon a hearth as in the daies of Zidkiiah Ionadab their father had enjoyned them to drink no wine it was a Law which they observ'd with such a religious respect that neyther they nor their wives their sonnes nor their daughters did ever violate or infringe 'T was Christs prophecy of himselfe and it will beseeme us well to practise it The Lord opened my eare and I was not rebellious Esay 50.5 neyther turned I backe It was written of him in the booke that he should doe the will of his father and he did it The Law was in the midst of his bowels and without any protraction or delay he presenteth himselfe Psal 40.8 Loe I come He was obedient to the death yea even to the death of the Crosse and though he were the sonne yet learned he obedience by the things he suffered and according to S. Ber. Ne perderet obedientiam perdidit vitam Though his pangs were sharpe sweet was the peace wherewith they were rewarded Disobedience on the other side could never avoyd the judgements of Almighty God It cast the Angels out of heaven our first parents out of Paradise Le ts wife out of her life and nature too Saul out of his Kingdome Ionas out of the ship the children of Israel out of their native soile and which is more out of the naturall roote that bare them For this is the reason which God himselfe alleageth
