Disobedience to parents is a sin that is seldom isolated, for an undutiful child is commonly a very wicked person in many other ways. Considering the proneness of our nature to all sin, it cannot be avoided but that they who in the beginning shake off the yoke of government, should run headlong into all kinds of partying, wild living, and contempt for law and order. Sin being added to sin, it must bring trouble upon trouble, till at length life is cut off.

William Gouge, Building a Godly Home: A Holy Vision for Family Life, 177.
