Wherefore those sons and daughters are much to be blamed who have neglected this part of their duty to their Parents, and have suffered their blind and strong passions so far to transport them, that against their Parents consent and counsel they have bestowed themselves in Matrimony, and so have transgressed against the plain commandment of God. Such must heartily repent of their sin and humble themselves before God with much sorrow for their great and wilful disobedience. Parents would not have their children thus to slight and dishonour them, yea they take it grievously and are much perplexed with sorrow for their children, in this case therefore children should be much grieved themselves, if they have given this occasion of grief unto their Parents. To satisfy mens own desires and affections without regard to Gods ordinances, is a notorious disobedience and bringeth the guilt of a great offence upon the souls of them that have so offended.

All you that have married in this disorderly manner, see that you do unfeignedly repent of the sin before God, and confessing the fault before him, seek to prevent the curse that must else fall upon you and your children after you for so dishonouring your Parents.
