3. Christs Example; He was obedient to his Parents, Luke 2.51. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them.
4. Gods Judgments upon disobedient Children: Absalom Rebelled against his Father, and God cut him off in the very act of his Rebellion.
5. It is pleasing to God: If it were in any thing that would displease God, you must not do it; for you must please your Heavenly Father rather than your Earthly, but, if it be pleasing unto God, you must not deny it; you please God, when you please your Parents in things lawful.
6. God might punish you with disobedient Children hereafter, if you are disobedient to your Parents now: Thus Children also will walk so far answerably to so great a Mercy, as Gods sparing their Parents to them, if they thus obey them.
