Q. Have not the other Commandments this promise?
Q. Haue not the other Commandements this promise?
A. No, not expressly; which showeth, that a more plentiful blessing in this kind, followeth from the obedience of this Commandment, then of the other that follow. Hence it is called by the Apostle, the first Commandment with apromise, it being the first in order of the second Table, and the only Commandment of that Table that hath an express promise; and the only Commandment of the ten, that hath a particular promise. Hence it is, that the Lord revengeth the breach of this Commandment so often in this life. First, upon the parents-who have been themselves ungracious, in giving unto them ungracious and disobedient children; and then upon the children themselves, who are sometimes immediately stricken from heaven, and sometimes punished by the hand of the Magistrate.
