Again,1 Ishmael did another good office in the conclusion of his Fathers life, for it is noted of him, that he came to Isaac and joined with him in his Fathers funeral, Gen. 25.9. by which it is manifest, that he bare no grudge against his Father for casting him out of his house, but bore that respect towards him which was due to a Father, and therefore did him the best honour he could at his latter end, yea that he did not harbour in his mind any envious and malicious thought against Isaac, and therefore would come unto him and unite his pains to bury his Father. Learn so much good of him I pray you, as to forget that severity which perhaps Parents may have showed to any of you, and not put off the dutifulness of children, because you have met with something that flesh and blood would call hard measure. The less inducement any man hath from a parents kindness to love and honour him, the more commendable it is if he perform all honour to him: but he that will be so transported with discontentment against a parent for some sharpness, as even to hate and contemn him, most of all if his own folly have enforced his parent to such proceedings, is without all doubt a graceless and a wretched child.

Learne so much good of him I pray you, as to forget that severity which perhaps Parents may have shewed to any of you, and not put off the dutifulnesse of childeren, because you have met with something that flesh and bloud would call hard measure. The lesse inducement any man hath from a parents kindnesse to love and honour him, the more commendable it is if hee performe all honour to him: but he that will be so transported with discontentment against a parent for some sharpenesse, as even to hate and contemne him, most of all if his owne folly have inforced his parent to such proceedings, is without all doubt a gracelesse and a wretched childe.
