A64092	Patriarcha non monarcha The patriarch unmonarch'd : being observations on a late treatise and divers other miscellanies, published under the name of Sir Robert Filmer, Baronet : in which the falseness of those opinions that would make monarchy Jure divino are laid open, and the true principles of government and property (especially in our kingdom) asserted / by a lover of truth and of his country.	Tyrrell, James, 1642-1718.	1681 (1681)	Wing T3591; ESTC R12162	177,016	266

they_o do_v enter_v into_o the_o state_n of_o marriage_n for_o their_o generation_n and_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o be_v yet_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o by_o this_o alone_a a_o father_n acquire_v a_o absolute_a power_n and_o dominion_n over_o the_o person_n of_o the_o child_n to_o dispose_v of_o it_o as_o he_o think_v fit_a since_o parent_n act_v here_o only_o as_o natural_a and_o not_o moral_a agent_n they_o be_v not_o the_o voluntary_a cause_n of_o its_o generation_n therefore_o i_o can_v found_v so_o great_a a_o right_a as_o that_o of_o a_o absolute_a perpetual_a dominion_n over_o the_o child_n upon_o so_o slight_a a_o foundation_n we_o must_v therefore_o trace_v this_o right_n of_o father_n over_o his_o child_n to_o a_o more_o true_a original_n than_o any_o of_o these_o since_o then_o all_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n be_v intend_v for_o one_o end_n or_o effect_n viz._n the_o common_a good_a and_o preservation_n of_o mankind_n and_o that_o marriage_n be_v no_o otherwise_o a_o duty_n than_o as_o by_o the_o propagation_n of_o our_o species_n it_o conduce_v to_o without_o the_o help_n and_o assistance_n of_o other_o and_o that_o the_o parent_n enter_v into_o this_o state_n of_o marriage_n for_o the_o procreation_n of_o child_n both_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n and_o law_n of_o reason_n dictate_v that_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o take_v care_n of_o and_o provide_v for_o that_o child_n which_o they_o as_o subordinate_a cause_n have_v produce_v as_o be_v those_o on_o who_o god_n have_v impose_v this_o duty_n which_o be_v much_o great_a than_o that_o of_o generation_n for_o now_o the_o world_n be_v sufficient_o people_v it_o may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o any_o person_n be_v oblige_v to_o marry_n further_o than_o it_o may_v consist_v with_o their_o conveniency_n or_o course_n of_o life_n but_o parent_n when_o they_o be_v marry_v be_v tie_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o take_v care_n of_o the_o child_n therefore_o i_o suppose_v the_o high_a right_n of_o parent_n in_o their_o child_n do_v arise_v mere_o from_o their_o discharge_n of_o this_o great_a duty_n of_o education_n as_o may_v appear_v from_o this_o instance_n suppose_v the_o parent_n not_o be_v willing_a to_o undertake_v the_o trouble_n of_o breed_v up_o the_o child_n do_v either_o expose_v it_o or_o pass_v over_o their_o right_n in_o it_o to_o another_o assoon_o as_o it_o be_v bear_v i_o desire_v to_o know_v if_o the_o person_n that_o find_v this_o child_n or_o he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v assign_v breed_v it_o up_o until_o it_o come_v to_o have_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n what_o duty_n this_o child_n can_v owe_v his_o parent_n if_o they_o be_v make_v know_v to_o he_o certain_o all_o the_o obligation_n he_o can_v have_v to_o they_o must_v be_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o their_o beget_v he_o which_o how_o small_a that_o be_v you_o may_v observe_v from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v before_o nor_o can_v the_o parent_n claim_v any_o further_a right_n in_o this_o child_n since_o by_o their_o expose_v and_o grant_v it_o away_o they_o renounce_v all_o the_o interest_n they_o can_v have_v in_o it_o so_o that_o the_o duty_n and_o gratitude_n he_o shall_v have_v owe_v they_o have_v they_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o care_n and_o trouble_v of_o breed_v he_o up_o be_v now_o due_a to_o his_o foster-father_n or_o mother_n who_o take_v care_n of_o he_o until_o he_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v for_o himself_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o high_a right_n which_o parent_n can_v have_v in_o their_o child_n be_v not_o mere_o natural_a from_o generation_n but_o acquire_v by_o their_o performance_n of_o that_o noble_a part_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o so_o the_o high_a obedience_n which_o child_n owe_v their_o patent_n proceed_v from_o that_o gratitude_n and_o sense_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o the_o great_a obligation_n they_o owe_v their_o parent_n for_o the_o trouble_n and_o care_n they_o put_v they_o to_o in_o their_o education_n have_v now_o i_o hope_v find_v out_o the_o original_a of_o parent_n right_o and_o interest_n in_o their_o child_n and_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o their_o gratitude_n and_o duty_n
