Sect. 15. Rebellious children (whether they continue in riot and drunkenness, after due correction from their Parents, or whether they curse, or smite their Parents) are to be put to death. Deut. 21. 18, 19, 20, 21. If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not yobey the voice of his father, and the voice of his mother: and they chasten him, and he will not hearken to them. Then shall his father and mother lay hold on him, and bring him unto the elders of his City, and to 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 hearken to our voice: he is a glutton and a drunkard. And all the men of his City shall stone him with stones, that he dye: so shalt thou put away evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear. Lev. 20. 9. For every one who curseth his father, or his mother zshall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother, his blood [shall be] upon him. Exo. 21. 17. 15. And he that curseth his father, or his mother, ashall surely be put to death. And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, bshall surely be put to death.
