Many that honour their Parents, and are faithful in all Relative duties, do now attain long Life and Prosperity in the World, and that by vertue of this Promise; and those that do otherwise, are many of them cut off in their youth, or in the midst of their days, and bring the Curse of poverty and want upon themselves whilst they live: yet withal, we may observe that Temporal Promises and Judgments, were fulfilled more in the Letter, formerly in the Old Testament times, than in the later Gospel days, wherein they are often exchanged into Spiritual. 2. This Promise is to be understood with this exception, so far as it may serve for Gods Glory, and the real good of these that keep this Commandment; and oftentimes God is glorified, and they are benefitted, when they are exercised with affliction, and God sees it best to take some of them home in their youth, or strength of their years to himself, to hide them from the miseries that befal them that survive, and instead of long Life on Earth, he giveth them eternal Life in Heaven, It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy Statutes.","proofs":["Psalm 119:71"]}]}]}
