1I know no such unlimited authority granted to Parents, as to compel their children upon inconveniences in any of these respects. Parents are bound to tender fit yoke-fellows to their Children, as God did to Adam: else the Children in not following their advice do forbear to be ruled, not by their authority, but by their lusts. For if Parents may not provoke their Children to wrath, lest they be discouraged, surely they may not thrust them upon other miseries and distempers.

But what must be done in such a case? I answer:
By patience and long suffering, and entreaty of common friends, and like means, the Children must seek to win their Parents to reason; which if they cannot do, they must refer themselves to the Governors, Magistrates, or Ministers: and if these will not, or by the Laws cannot provide for their help, they must even follow the advice of virtuous and wise Friends and Neighbours.
