Micah7:6
Verſe 6. For the ſonne diſhonoureth the father] Or, revileth the father, Menabbe[illegible: 1 letter]. be-Nabals him, beknaves him (of Nabal comes Nebulo) turpitudine afficit beſpatles him, vilifieth him. This is monſtrous wickedneſſe, Mal. 1.6. and a ſure ſigne the devil hath ſet his limbs in a man that is thus unnaturall, fierce, traiterous, heady, high-minded: which yet is foretold of theſe dregs of times, theſe laſt and worſt dayes, both by our Saviour, Mat. 10.21, 35, 36. and likewiſe by St. Paul, 2 Tim. 3.3, 4. Such a ſonne was He, who when his father complained, that never father had ſo undutifull a child as he had: Yes, Full. holy State ſaid his ſonne, (with leſſe grace then wit) my grandfather had. Such a ſonne was Ham, and Abſalom, and Amida, ſon of Muleaſſes King of Tunes, Turk hiſt. 745. who caſt his father out of his Kingdom, and put out his eyes: and Henry, Speed. eldeſt ſonne to our Henry 2. who rebelled againſt his father, and died before him of a fever, and a flux, with excoriatiation of the bowels: And laſtly, Adolphus Egmondanus, Cominaeus. who impriſoned his own fater ſix yeers, for no other cauſe but for living ſo long; and keeping him from the Dukedome of Gelderland.
The daughter riſeth up againſt her her mother] As Mr. Fox mentioneth, ſome that witneſſed againſt their own parents here in Q. Maries dayes: and were a means of their Martyrdome.
A mans enemies are the men of his own houſe] See Mat. 10.36. with the Note, and take our Saviours counſel there; Be ye wiſe as ſerpents, innocent as doves: but beware of men, yea of the men of your own houſe.
Fide Deo ſoli: mortali fidito nulli: Fallunt mortales: fallere Jova nequit.
