God willeth that euery man should honour esteme loue and obey with all reuerence lowlinesse theyr naturall parentes as the lorde hymselfe and that we should serue helpe and succour them to the vttermoste of our power in their age sicknes and in al their necessities for as much as they did beare vs and tooke much trauail and sorow in the bringing vp of vs. M. And are none other to bee honored reuerenced obeyed by this comaūdement but only our natural parentes S. Yes all suche as perfourme the dutie office of true parentes toward vs all suche as haue any manier of cure or charge of vs as our kinsfolke teachers tutours ouerseers And specyally our gouerners rulers and magistrates with the ministers of the churche also whiche haue cure of our soules our maister also mystres all such as do vs any good through teaching instructing admonishīg exhorting defendyng or maintenyng of vs or thorowe punishyng correcting vs for our fautes euil doinges breking taming our naturall frowardnes stubbernes proud stomakes obstinatnes intendyng nothyng but to rule gouerne bring vs vp to the glory of god the welth profite of our soules All such are we bound to obey to submit our selfes hartily willingly vnto theyr instruccions admoniciōs correccion c. taking all such thinges as they do vnto vs in good worthe and withal thankfulnes M.

Pet. iii. We must rather obey God than man M. Yet s Peter sayeth that seruauntes or subiectes shoulde obey theyr maisters or superiors though they be cruell frowarde and extreme vnto them S.

But this commaundement maketh mencion onely of murder S. Yea but thorowe that whiche is moste detestable and horrible in this vice of murder it would feare vs also from the naturall
