CCEL Footnote 3818 (In-Text, Margin)

... women, since they have placed children also under the authority of their fathers, while leaving the weaker sex uncared for. God doth not so; but saith Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee; and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. Similarly He gave honour to good and punishment to evil. And, The blessing of a father strengtheneth the houses of children, but the curse of a mother uprooteth the foundations.[Ecclesiasticus 3:11] See the equality of the legislation. There is one Maker of man and woman; one debt is owed by children to both their parents.
