20. W. BISHOP.

Fourthly (saith M. PER.) the fift Commandement enioineth children to obey father and mother in all things, specially in matters of moment; as in their Marriages and choice of their calling, and that euen to death: and yet the Church of Rome against the intent of this Commande∣ment, alloweth that clandestine Marriages and the vowe of religion shall be in force, though they bee without and against the consent of wise and carefull parents.

Answ. It is very false to say that children must obey their parents in all things: for if parents command them any thing either against Gods law or the Princes, they must not obey them therein. And touching clandestine and priuie Marria∣ges, they are of force aswell in the Church of England, as in the Church of Rome: yea more too. For by the Church of Rome alwaies they haue beene forbidden verie seuerely; and since the Councell of Trent, are made voide and of no force, where the Councell can be published. Concerning entring into religion, childrens vowes (during their minoritie) may be an∣nullated and made of no force by their parents: marry, when they come to riper daies, if their father stand not in necessitie of their helpe, they may forsake him to follow Christ in a more perfect kinde of life: as S. Iames and S. * 1.1 Iohn forsooke their fa∣ther Zebedee, and followed Christ.
