As on the other side, there is a Curse of God denounced against those that do otherwise, that^c stop their ears, like the deaf adder, against good admonition, and refuse to hear the Charmers voice, charm he never so sweetly, to be ruled by their Governors, deal they never so kindly and lovingly with them.^d The eye that scorneth the Father, or setteth light by the Mothers admonition, ^elet the ravens of the valley dig it out, and the young Eagles devour it. They are cursed with a witness, whom the Holy Ghost thus curseth, in such emphatical manner, in such exquisite terms, as may well make ones heart quake to hear.
