And a reason, that parents are to be obeyed of1 their children in those things, that are good, is because they are obedient also in the same unto the Lord. And we know it is an easy matter, if with one whiting a man may paint two walls, it is more easy for him to paint one. But our obedience therefore must be in the Lord, viz. only in those things, only wherein they command according to God. And therefore2 our Saviour CHRIST, when his mother bid him change water into wine, refused, he denied her, because the time was not come. But we may not speak as he spake: for we must, if they command us contrary to the word of God, with all reverence deny to do it, and not in any controlling or snappish fashion.
