1. In their Reverence, in Speech and Carriage: They must give to their Parents reverent and honourable Titles, meek and humble Speeches, Obedience, as becomes their Age and Sex: Thus Joseph and Solomon bowed, the one to his Father, the other to his Mother, Gen. 48.12. 1 Kin. 2.19. Contrary hereto is mocking and despising Father and Mother: of which, said Solomon, The Eye that mocketh at his Father, and despiseth to obey his Mother, the Ravens of the Valley shall pick it out; ⟨p. 24⟩Prov. 13.17.
