[Ephes. 6.1, 2, 3. Children obey your Parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, (which is the first Commandment with promise) that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the Earth. Col. 3.20. Children, obey your Parents in all things, (which they as Parents may command) for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. See Rom. 1.30. 2 Tim. 3.2.]
Secondly, Children under the ⟨p. 130⟩Power of their Parents, ought to honour them, by so regarding them when they justly correct, as to be ashamed, and amend, and not to be provoked to Anger when so chastised. Heb. 12.9.
[Thus it is written in the Law of Moses; Deut. 21.18, &c. If a Man have a stubborn and rebellious Son, which will not obey the Voice of his Father, or the Voice of his Mother, and that when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them; then shall his Father and his Mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the Elders of his City, and unto the Gate of his Place; and they shall say unto the Elders of his City, This our Son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our Voice, he is a Glutton and a Drunkard. And all the Men of his City shall stone him with Stones that he die: So shalt thou put Evil away from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.]
