[Prov. 10.1. A wise Son maketh a glad Father, but a foolish Son is the heaviness of his Mother. Prov. 23.24. The Father of the Righteous shall greatly rejoice, and he that begetteth a wise Child, shall have joy of him. Prov. 28.7. Whoso keepeth the Law, is a wise Son, but he that is a Companion of riotous Men, shameth his Father. Matth. 15.4, &c. God commanded, saying, Honour thy Father and Mother; and he that curseth Father or Mother, let him die the Death. But ye [Pharisees] say, Whosoever shall say to his Father or Mother, It is a Gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me, and honour not his Father or Mother, he shall be free. Thus (saith Christ) have ye made the Commandment of God of none effect by your Tradition. ⟨p. 130⟩[…] ⟨p. 131⟩[…] ⟨p. 132⟩Prov. 19.26. He that wasteth his Father, and chaseth away his Mother, is a Son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. Exod. 21.15. He that smiteth his Father or his Mother, shall be surely put to death.]
