20 Now this promise is marvellously agreeable unto ⟨p. 86⟩the commandment it self, whereby the prolonging continuance of this life, is promised unto him that honoureth those, that were the instruments of the life which he enjoyeth.
20 Now this promise is meruelouslie agreeable vnto ⟨p. 86⟩the commandement it selfe, whereby the prolonging continuance of this life, is promised vnto him that honoureth those, that were the instruments of the life which he enjoyeth.
21 And even as a long and a prosperous life is promised unto obedient Sons; so on the other side, all disobedient, unthankful, and obstinate Children, are assured of the punishment of infamy, joined with divers and great calamities and torments.
21 And euen as a long and a prosperous life is promised vnto obedient Sonnes; so on the other side, all disobedient, vnthankful, and obstinat Children, are assured of the punishment of infamie, joyned with diuers and great calamities and torments.
22 Neither are we therefore to conclude, that this promise is vain, because neither those are always long lived, who perform this duty, neither yet all the breakers of this commandment do die in their youth. For the Lord doth so dispose the blessings of this life, as he thinketh expedient; and the sooner he calleth hence those that are obedient unto their Parents, by so much the sooner he blesseth them: now the long life of the rebellious, do so commend the patience of God, as notwithstanding, it becometh a curse unto them.
