To smite either father or mother, in a manner which indicated
   either contempt or malice, or left marks of violence, was
   deemed a proof of so ungrateful and unnatural a disposition,
   that no provocation was admitted as an excuse, but the
   offence was made capital:  nay, he who cursed his father or
   mother, who uttered imprecations, ill wishes, or revilings,
   against a parent, was included in the same sense; though few
   crimes were made capital by the law of Moses.  The law of
   God, as delegated to parents is honoured when they are
   honoured, and despised when they are despised:  and to rebel
   against the lawful exercise of this authority is rebellion
   against God.--Rev. T. Scott
