You see, how children should yield to their Parents in all things in the Lord. It was extraordinary, that Isaac must yield to be slain when God would have it so, and had extraordinarily required it. And in this particular without the like warrant, (which will never be again in all the world) no child should yield to let his Father kill him, but should fly away and oppose himself so far as he might, without hurting and striking his Father, yea or so much as railing at him, for these being things forbidden, a man should rather choose to die even by the rage of his Father, then make bold to do them. But if in an extraordinary Commandment, obedience must be given to Parents in such an extraordinary thing, then without doubt in every ordinary thing a Parent must be obeyed in all things in the Lord, even though the commandment should be so heavy as death it self would not be heavier. The Apostle hath said,1 Obey your Parents in all things in the Lord, and this is well pleasing to God, and this is just.
