Judgement.
Deut. 21.18. If a man have a stubborn and a rebellious son that will not obey the voice of his father or his mother, and that when they have chastened him, he will not hearken unto them; Vers. 19. Then shall his father and mother lay hold of him, and bring him out to the Elders of his City and the gate of his place: Vers. 20. They shall say to the Elders of his City, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, and will not hear our voice: he is a drunk∣ard and a glutton.
Verse 21. All the men of his City shall stone him with stones that he dye: so shalt thou put away evil from amongst you.
Appl. Why is so much rebellion against parents, is not because the law of God is silent; this being executed, all England would hear and fear.
2. Is there another way, besides this, to put away evil from a∣mong us, appointed of God? Note, God saith, So shalt thou put a∣way evil, and no other way.
3. Or is not the Law of God just, the judgement true and righte∣ous, that it is not set up amongst us? or will it ever be well with us or ours, until it be set up?
