3. In being content with your Diet and Apparel that your Parents provide for you.
4. In yielding them sustenance and Maintenance if they come to Poverty, if you be able to supply them; they gave you maintenance when you could not provide for your selves, do you so for them, if they need, though you work hard to help them, 1 Tim. 5.4. But, if any Widow have Children, or Nephews, let them first learn to show piety at home, and to requite their Parents, for that is good and acceptable before God. Though Children can never (fully) requite their Parents, for they had their being by them; and, what if they have help by you in outward things, you had your being by them, and that is more: Take heed of being ashamed of your Parents, if they be poor, and you are raised to an higher degree in the World than ever they were, but, to disown them would be impious.
