of_o wine_n which_o be_v spend_v in_o marriage_n yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o your_o desire_n be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o wine_n bid_v the_o servant_n do_v whatsoever_o i_o shall_v say_v

this_o commandment_n whereof_o we_o treat_v and_o retort_v the_o same_o against_o their_o parent_n under_o this_o colour_n that_o forsooth_o they_o may_v perform_v any_o thing_n else_o in_o stead_n of_o their_o bind_a duty_n so_o they_o do_v that_o which_o they_o think_v to_o be_v as_o just_a and_o holy_a say_v why_o do_v you_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o your_o tradition_n for_o god_n have_v say_v honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o he_o that_o curse_v father_n or_o mother_n let_v he_o die_v the_o death_n but_o you_o say_v whosoever_o shall_v say_v unto_o his_o

hypocrite_n you_o worship_n god_n in_o vain_a prefer_v man_n precept_n before_o go_n why_o speak_v christ_n this_o so_o severe_o be_v it_o because_o the_o pharisy_n so_o great_o abuse_v those_o offering_n and_o that_o sacred_a treasure_n which_o they_o call_v corban_n or_o be_v it_o because_o those_o oblation_n which_o be_v destinate_a unto_o the_o temple_n be_v by_o they_o misapply_v to_o

because_o they_o make_v comparison_n of_o precept_n and_o prefer_v their_o own_o which_o be_v otherwise_o good_a before_o go_n and_o because_o they_o take_v occasion_n by_o their_o gift_n howsoever_o holy_a to_o contemn_v their_o domestic_a rite_n and_o law_n of_o piety_n and_o that_o bond_n of_o natural_a duty_n which_o be_v more_o ancient_a than_o any_o whatsoever_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v somewhat_o more_o in_o it_o than_o so_o for_o the_o first_o commandment_n that_o you_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o and_o the_o five_o you_o so_o light_o regard_v be_v both_o god_n commandment_n they_o both_o issue_n from_o the_o same_o author_n and_o the_o same_o lawmaker_n it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o that_o either_o the_o one_o hinder_v the_o other_o or_o that_o the_o latter_a be_v abrogate_a by_o the_o former_a which_o be_v against_o all_o law_n that_o ever_o i_o can_v read_v or_o else_o that_o both_o of_o they_o be_v keep_v as_o well_o the_o first_o pertain_v unto_o god_n as_o the_o five_o pertain_v unto_o parent_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o some_o precept_n be_v immutable_a and_o they_o be_v say_v hildebert_n in_o his_o last_o epistle_n such_o as_o the_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n have_v establish_v of_o which_o sort_n say_v the_o archbishop_n of_o tower_n be_v these_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o and_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n and_o such_o like_a other_o precept_n be_v mutable_a which_o the_o eternal_a law_n of_o god_n have_v not_o decree_v but_o the_o wisdom_n and_o policy_n of_o some_o late_a wit_n have_v invent_v for_o some_o convenience_n and_o use_n &_o not_o so_o principal_o tend_v to_o salvation_n and_o of_o this_o sort_n it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o jesuite_n certain_a i_o be_o that_o the_o law_n whereby_o thou_o stand_v bind_v unto_o i_o be_v perpetual_a and_o unchangeable_a but_o what_o if_o here_o we_o be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o god_n himself_o be_v less_o solicitous_a for_o his_o own_o honour_n than_o for_o our_o parent_n honour_n and_o therefore_o of_o those_o two_o commandment_n the_o latter_a in_o a_o sort_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o former_a and_o shall_v yet_o these_o pharisy_n please_v thou_o more_o than_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o without_o a_o mystery_n that_o god_n give_v those_o commandment_n concern_v his_o own_o honour_n simple_o without_o imposition_n of_o punishment_n if_o any_o break_v they_o or_o proposal_n of_o reward_n if_o any_o keep_v they_o but_o when_o he_o give_v this_o commandment_n concern_v our_o duty_n towards_o our_o parent_n he_o add_v this_o clause_n that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o upon_o earth_n for_o albeit_o hereby_o it_o be_v clear_o evident_a that_o nature_n can_v suffer_v that_o he_o shall_v live_v long_o upon_o the_o earth_n that_o respect_n not_o these_o of_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v life_n nor_o endure_v that_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o he_o any_o where_o that_o will_v hide_v himself_o for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o that_o he_o may_v not_o show_v himself_o grateful_a unto_o they_o that_o with_o so_o great_a care_n and_o trouble_v after_o they_o have_v give_v he_o life_n have_v nourish_v and_o sustain_v he_o yet_o that_o which_o we_o so_o principal_o intend_v appear_v from_o thence_o for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v full_a of_o jealousy_n if_o a_o man_n worship_v strange_a and_o false_a god_n but_o if_o he_o worship_v his_o parent_n god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o envy_v it_o that_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a he_o will_v and_o command_v it_o &_o that_o with_o such_o a_o reward_n which_o of_o mankind_n be_v most_o desire_a why_o press_v he_o all_o these_o thing_n so_o earnest_o because_o when_o parent_n these_o second_o god_n be_v honour_v who_o he_o so_o much_o accepte_n and_o so_o well_o account_v of_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o he_o take_v it_o do_v unto_o himself_o but_o if_o any_o duty_n be_v leave_v undo_v unto_o they_o let_v we_o worship_v he_o in_o the_o best_a manner_n we_o can_v devise_v yet_o do_v it_o not_o excuse_v us._n and_o perhaps_o this_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o god_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v be_v not_o so_o hard_a to_o please_v in_o that_o honour_n and_o worship_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o as_o every_o man_n be_v curious_a in_o
