A. While you are in your Minority and understand not the Kings Laws, you must obey your Parents, and if they command you any thing contrary to the Kings Commands, they must be answerable for it, as the Case shall prove: some Commands about your Religion belong to your Parents, and some to the King, and they are accordingly to be obeyed. It is not the Kings Office but your Parents to Catechize you, to teach you to Read and Pray, to choose your School-master or Tutor; In these therefore your Parents are first to be obeyed: And it is your Parents office to choose where you shall dwell, and consequently to what Pastor you shall commit the conduct of your Soul: And also how in the Family and in Private you shall spend the Lords day. But the determination of all those public Circumstances, which are needful to be imposed on all Christians in the Land, belongs not to your Parents but to the Supreme Power.m
