John Trapp on Proverbs 1:8

Verſ. 8. Hear the instruction of thy Father, &c.] It is not fit to diſobey God, thy Father, nor thy Teacher, ſaith Ariſtotle. Our Parents, ſaid Hierocles, are [non-Latin text not transcribed], our houſhold-gods: and their words ſhould bee received as Oracles; This is a principal fruit of the fear of God, which it here fitly followeth: like as in the decalogue, the Commandement for honouring of Parents, is ſet next of all to thoſe of the firſt Table, nay, is indeed (as Philo ſaith of it) [non-Latin text not transcribed], a mixt Commandement.
