So parents look to be served of their children, not by doing that which they think will please their parents; but by doing what their parents command them: so masters look to be served by their servants, ⟨p. 28⟩so Princes look to be served of their subjects. Yet the child is made after the image of God, as well as the father: the servants as well as the master: the subjects as well as the Prince; and therefore are able to understand of themselves what is fit to please their parents, their masters, their Princes: But none of us is of himself able to conceive what is pleasing to God: For my ways, are not your ways: neither are my thoughts your thoughts, saith the Lord: but as high as the heavens are above the earth; so are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts, saith the Lord. Isa. 55. 8, 9.
So parents looke to be serued of their children, not by doing that which they thinke will please their parēts; but by doing what their parents command thē: so masters look to be serued by their seruāts, ⟨p. 28⟩so Princes looke to be serued of their subiects. Yet the child is made after the image of God, as well as the father: the seruants as wel as the master: the subiects as well as the Prince; and therefore are able to vnderstand of themselues what is fit to please their parents, their maisters, their Princes: But none of vs is of himselfe able to conceiue what is pleasing to God: For my wayes, are not your wayes: neither are my thoughts your thoughts, saith the Lord: but as high as the heauens are aboue the earth; so are my wayes aboue your wayes, and my thoughts aboue your thoughts, saith the Lord.
