Commandment V.
[He that fought his Fathers death]
V. Honor thy Father and thy Mother, &c.
He that fought his Fathers death
Sonless, yielded up his breath.
He, that would his Prince have slain,
Had his pardon sent in vain,
For although the King forgave,
Justice urg'd her due to have,
That Rebellious Children may
Learn this precept to obey,
And the Subject stand in awe
How he Sins against this Law.
