1. Children, O Children know your Fathers, & the God of your Fathers, Know your parents, for that is the first Commandment with Promise, & you shall honour your selves in honouring them.1 Its recorded of the Catanenses, that they made a Stately Monument of kingly Magnificence, in, remembrance of two Sons, who took their Aged Parents upon their Backs and carried them through the Fire when their Fathers House was all in a Flame. And of all the Birds, the Stork hath the Name for the good Bird, and why? but because the younger of them do help ⟨image 5⟩and bear up the Elder, their weak Parents;2 but though your Parent is to be honoured, yet your God is more to be honoured. If you know God when you are young, God will know you when you are Old; remember therefore your Creator in the days of your Youth: and your Creator will remember you in the days of your Age.
