3. God honours it by preferring it before all riches, and before all other kinds of honours Proverbs 3.16. It is said, that in the right hand of wisdom is length of days, in her left hand is riches and honours, riches and honour is but in the left hand of wisdom, and length of days is in the right hand, thus God honours Old Age.

4. God honours it by giving a charge unto others to honour it, in Leviti. 19.32. Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the Old man, and fear thy God, I am the Lord; It is one of the most solemnest charges that we have in the scripture, mark with what gravity and solemnity the charge goes; thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the Old man, and fare thy God, I am the Lord; your fear of God is laid upon this, And because I see many young ones here, I shall somewhat direct my speech to you, to you that make any profession of Religion, you must manifest it in this; would you make it appear that you fear the Lord? Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the Old man, and fear the Lord; this is one work of fearing of God, to do this in obedience to God, and if you be ⟨p. 424⟩bold and impudent before the Aged, know this is an argument that the fear of God is not upon you; The beauty and glory of religion is to be shown in the duties of our relations, as between Father and Child, Servant and Master, inferior and superior, young and old, except religion doth manifest it self in our relations it is all in vain, Thou shalt honour the face of the Old man, and fear the Lord; God lays the fear of his name upon this, and this is a great honour that God putts upon Old Age.
