And as he made thee through them / so hath he cast thee under the power and authority of them / to obey & serve them 1in his stead saying: honour thy father & mother. Exodi. xx. Which is not to be understand in bowing the knee & putting of the cap only / but that thou love them with all thine heart & fear and dread them & wait on their commandments and seek their worship / pleasure will and profit in all things / & give thy life for them counting them worthy of all honour / remē bring that thou art their good and possession / an• that thou owest unto them thine own ⟨image 26⟩self and all that thou art able / ye and more then thou art able to do.
