Proverbs28:24
Verſ. 24. He that robbeth his father or his mother] As that idolatrous Micah did his mother of her gold, as Rachel did her father of his gods,Judg. 17.2. as Abſolom did David of his Crown. Thus though it may ſeem a light ſinne, it is as much greater than ſtealing from another, as paricide is than man-ſlaughter, or as Reubens inceſt was, than another mans defiling his neighbours wife.Egone patri ſur ripere quicquam poſſim? Terent. Our Parents are our houſhold gods, as that Heathen could ſay: and to give them cauſe of grief, muſt needs be an offence of a deep dye, of a crimſon colour, condemned by the very Pagans.
