have_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o solomon_n he_o understand_v that_o his_o mother_n bethshebah_n 19_o be_v come_v to_o speak_v with_o he_o arole_n from_o his_o seat_n come_v to_o meet_v she_o bow_v

themselves_o that_o hardly_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v or_o call_v they_o father_n as_o if_o they_o be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o so_o that_o that_o man_n put_v off_o the_o affection_n of_o a_o child_n

but_o the_o due_a honour_n to_o parent_n that_o we_o here_o speak_v of_o imply_v not_o only_o this_o outward_a reverence_n but_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o esteem_v of_o they_o as_o that_o neither_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v despise_v they_o nor_o suffer_v othersto_a have_v they_o in_o contempt_n and_o this_o be_v we_o to_o understand_v in_o the_o say_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o honour_v

be_v so_o unnatural_a and_o perverse_a that_o forget_v all_o due_a reverence_n and_o respect_n to_o their_o parent_n they_o will_v not_o only_o despise_v they_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o suffer_v other_o to_o speak_v hardly_o of_o they_o but_o also_o will_v themselves_o so_o far_o exceed_v as_o even_o to_o lay_v they_o open_v to_o the_o scorn_n of_o other_o ham_n the_o son_n of_o
