59. What of cursers, or mockers of Superiours?

Never found to escape fearfull judgements, as the Law, Exod. 21. 17. and 28. not to curse, and the curser to dye, and mocking Cham accursed; so wayward youth that in heart mocke, or despise good counsell, or admonition of Parents, Masters or Ministers, God seeth it, who saith of such, the eie that mocketh, or despiseth instruction, the ravens of the valley shall picke it out, Prov. 30. 17. the Divell and his night birds; so the mocking chil∣dren against Elisha, torne by Bears, 2 King. 2. the mocking Ephraimites against Jephta, slain 42000. Jud. 12. and so 1 Sam. 11. mocking Nahash, and Ammonites that would have the Israelites right eyes put out, slaine and scattered, and the moc∣king Jewes at Christ, and his Apostles, a fearfull ruine, and desolation; so feare to mocke any good man, or other, much more such whom wee ought to reverence in regard of their place, or function.
