§. 50. Of Childrens reverencing the Parents that correct them.
FRom the forementioned office of Fathers, about correcting their Children, the Apostle maketh this inference, We gave them reverence. The a Greek word is a compound: the b simple verb signifieth to turn. This c compound being of the middle voyce signifieth to reverence one, which is manifested by turning to him. It is negatively used, Luk. 18. 2. It here intendeth that filial respect which dutifull Children beare to their Parents. It is here brought in as a granted case, which the very light and instinct of natute teacheth Children: making them so far from disrespecting their Parents, or rebelling against them for correcting them, as they stand the more in aw of them, and are the more fearfull to offend them, and carefull to please them.
Hereupon he thus bringeth it in as a ruled case, We gave them reverence. So as genuine Children do not the lesse respect Parents for correcting them. Correct thy Son and he shall give thee rest: Yea he shall give delight unto thy soul, Prov. 29. 17. See more hereof, in Domest Duties, Treat. 5. Of Children, §. 33, 34.
