In one word, it is here we ordinarily learn all the offices of a focial and rational creature, in our whole commerce Ser. 8. To their ^Parents. 141 commerce with mankind: and therefore it is, that GOD in his great wifdom, when he had prefcribed the duties relating to himfelf, in the decalogue, immediately fubjoins that which refpeds our parents, Honour thy fa- ther and mother, &c.
And this is agreeable to the very order of nature ; forafmuch as parents are, next to GOD, the authors of our being.... GOD indeed is properly our father, and earthly parents do but convey to us that being which GOD pro- duces: but the confequence from this is, that although we owe more abfolute and unlimited obedience to G o D, the Fountain of our exiftence; yet we are to honour our parents, as his fubftitutcs upon earth.
But forafmuch as this duty is not founded barely upon our exiftence, but is deduced with more force and greater evidence, from the advantages of early fupport, and early inftitution, derived to us by the care and affe&ion of our parents ; therefore all thofe that are to us in the place of parents, and in that relation eminently contribute to our well-being, have the fulleft and cleareft claim to paternal honour.
