O how faire is a chaste generation with vertue the memoriall therof is immortall for it is knowen with God and with men when it is presente men take example thereat and if it goe awaie yet thei desire it it is alwaies crouned and holden in honor and winneth the rewarde of the vndefiled 〈◊〉 But the other generation that is vnknowen emong men that are called the children of the people thus muche is spoken of in the same booke Multigena autem impiorū multitudo non erit vtilis spuria vitulamina non dabunt radices altas nec stabile fundamentum constituit That is The multitude of the vngodly children are vnprofitable children and the thynges that are planted with whoredome shall take no depe roote nor laie any fast foundation though grene for a tyme in the braunches yet thei shal be shaken with the winde for thei stande not fast and through the vehemencie of the windes that is Gods vengance thei shal be rooted out for the vnperfite braūches shal be broken the fruicte shal be vnprofitable and sower mete for nothyng For why beyng demaunded of their parentes that is who were their fathers or mothers doe witnesse against them and declare their abhomination and dooe disclose their synnes as did that wicked Cham the sonne of Noe whiche 〈◊〉 his fathers secretes for whiche cause Noe asked vengeaunce vpon the offenders sonne that therby the offender might bee more greued then with his owne mishappe Therfore the lawe that punisheth th offēders issue dooeth more prohibite synne then that whiche plageth the offender 〈◊〉 by this it maie be cōsidered with what zeale the law of Englande abhorreth vnlawfull coniunctions depriuyng them not onely of lawfull parentes but also of Ecclesiasticall dignitie and tēporall inheritaunce The Ciuill Lawe speakyng of the birth of children saieth Quod non potest arbor mala fructus bonos facere c. An euil tree saie thei can not bring forth good fruite nor a good free beare euill fruites and by the consente of the lawes it is agreed that euery plante yeldeth to the nature of the grounde wherein it is planted The childe also hath muche more certaine and sure knowledge of the mother then of the father Therfore saith the Ciuill Lawe your naturall or bastarde soonne is the soonne of the people and when suche a bastarde is hauing no certain or knowen assured father at the birthe 〈◊〉 it is daily seen and so iudged by lawe Now can he come by a father after as example If one woman should beare twoo children of twoo fornicatours and one of these fornicatours after doe marie with this woman whiche of these children should this mariage make legitimate This would partly help 〈◊〉 by the Ciuil lawe bicause his father reconsiled his mother into mariage but lōg after his birth this is not Boners case whose father was neuer maried to his mother fātasy would som what perswade but reason can not finde seyng the tyme was ones when bothe these children were bastardes and the 〈◊〉 of the people and did not knowe their fathers it wer therfore against all reason that a child after ward borne in the same Matrimonie being lawfully borne should lose the inheritaūce and place the bastardie in the same as lawfull heire The lawes of Englande agreeth with the scriptures Ismael did not inherit with 〈◊〉 So no bastardes doe inherite lawfully by the lawes of Englande neither is equall to the lawfull begotten in the inheritaunce whiche by the Ciuill lawes can be deuided but onely emong the male children Saincte Augustine in lib. xvi de Ciuitate dei saieth Abraham gaue all his substaunce vnto Isaac his soonne but vnto the soonnes of the Concubines he gaue giftes and sente them awaie from Isaac his soonne Wherevpon he ment that to bastardes there is no inheritaunce due but onely necessary liuyng and vnder the name of a bastarde Sainct Augustine vnderstande all vnlawfull issues and so doeth holie scripture also and 〈◊〉 no small difference betwene the succession of the lawfull begotten and the bastarde in tēporall thynges or worldly inheritance muche lesse in the churche of Christ in that that it admitteth them not into holie Orders and that is proued in the Popes Lawes againste 〈◊〉 bastardly Papistes and if the Pope 〈◊〉 with suche a one yet he permitted not hym to haue a dignitie or preheminence in the Churche as to bee a bishoppe Therefore it is conuenient that mannes lawes should cutte them shorte in the benefite of worldly succession When the Churche doe iudge thē vnworthy of orders of ministerie of 〈◊〉 dignitie 〈◊〉 whom the holie scripture do thrust doune and greatly embace for though some that is one emong a thousande is good yet most are not onely giuen to
