Quoted in Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason, Conway vol. 4, page 97.
There are also many things given as laws of Moses in this book, that are not to be found in any of the other books; among which is that inhuman and brutal law, 21.18–21, which authorizes parents, the father and the mother, to bring their own children to have them stoned to death for what it pleased them to call stubbornness.
If a man gete a rebel sone, and a fraward, that herith not the fadres and modres heest, and clepid to obeyshe dispise, thei shulen taak hym and lede to the aldre men of the citee of hym, and to the ʒate of doom; and thei shulen seye to hem, This oure sone is fraward, and rebel; oure heestis dispisith to here, to glotryes takith hede, and to leccherye, and to feestis.
If a man gendriths a sone rebel, and is ouerthewert, which herith not the comaundement of fadir and modir, and he is chastisid, and dispisith to obei, thei schulen take hym, and schulen lede to the eldre men of that citee, and to the ʒate of doom; and thei schulen seie to hem, This oure sone is ouerthewert and rebel; he dispisith to here oure monestyngisi, ethir heestis, he ʒyueth tent to glotonyes, and letcherie, and feestis.
If man’s son is a rebel and an impertinent who does not hear his father’s and mother’s command, and despises their calls to obey, they should take him and bring him before their elders in the city, and to the gate of doom; and they should say to the elders, this son of ours is brazen, and a rebel; our command he despises to hear, takes fancy to gluttony and lechery and celebrations.
