that_o be_v exceed_o wicked_a but_o as_o a_o man_n renounce_v his_o wife_n and_o child_n may_v notwithstanding_o retain_v some_o one_o or_o more_o which_o he_o like_v so_o do_v god_n sometime_o accept_v some_o child_n of_o some_o wicked_a parent_n for_o so_o we_o find_v abraham_n be_v faithful_a though_o his_o father_n terah_n be_v idolatrous_a and_o king_n josias_n be_v religious_a though_o his_o father_n amon_n be_v most_o impious_a and_o therefore_o saint_n gregory_n and_o other_o have_v distinguish_v that_o this_o threaten_a only_o hold_v in_o those_o child_n which_o do_v natural_o suck_v and_o willing_o imitate_v there_o father_n vice_n but_o i_o find_v this_o too_o short_a of_o the_o whole_a truth_n because_o god_n many_o time_n visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n which_o not_o only_o imitate_v their_o parent_n in_o the_o like_a sin_n but_o do_v perhaps_o follow_v after_o clean_o contrary_a sin_n as_o i_o show_v unto_o you_o before_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o because_o the_o gentile_n become_v idolatrous_a and_o regard_v not_o to_o know_v god_n but_o run_v a_o whore_v after_o other_o god_n and_o so_o commit_v spiritual_a fornication_n against_o he_o therefore_o god_n give_v they_o and_o their_o posterity_n over_o to_o become_v so_o horrible_o vicious_a as_o to_o burn_v in_o lust_n 1.24_o rom._n 1.24_o and_o vile_a affection_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o so_o to_o commit_v carnal_a fornication_n and_o abomination_n among_o themselves_o and_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o convenient_a vice_n this_o threaten_a be_v not_o only_o against_o those_o that_o imitate_v their_o parent_n vice_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o this_o threaten_n hold_v not_o so_o much_o in_o those_o which_o give_v themselves_o to_o imitate_v their_o father_n vice_n as_o in_o those_o which_o god_n in_o justice_n think_v good_a to_o punish_v for_o their_o father_n offence_n for_o in_o that_o he_o say_v i_o will_v visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n that_o be_v i_o will_v punish_v the_o father_n sin_n in_o his_o child_n i_o see_v not_o how_o the_o child_n can_v any_o way_n by_o declination_n from_o his_o father_n sin_n escape_v this_o infliction_n lay_v on_o he_o by_o god_n because_o as_o i_o collect_v it_o this_o punishment_n be_v not_o so_o much_o attract_v by_o the_o child_n imitation_n as_o inflict_v by_o god_n for_o the_o father_n transgression_n and_o be_v rather_o a_o punishment_n of_o the_o father_n sin_n lay_v upon_o the_o child_n than_o a_o punishment_n of_o any_o sin_n commit_v by_o the_o child_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o will_v visit_v those_o that_o imitate_v their_o father_n sin_n but_o he_o will_v visit_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o that_o hate_v he_o upon_o their_o child_n and_o yet_o as_o i_o say_v before_o this_o do_v not_o hold_v in_o all_o for_o we_o see_v often_o many_o godly_a child_n of_o wicked_a parent_n neither_o do_v this_o threaten_a pass_n at_o most_o or_o in_o the_o worse_o but_o to_o the_o three_o or_o four_o generation_n and_o sometime_o he_o stay_v his_o hand_n at_o the_o first_o and_o give_v plentiful_a grace_n to_o the_o immediate_a child_n of_o most_o idolatrous_a and_o impious_a parent_n as_o we_o see_v in_o josias_n and_o other_o before_o cite_v for_o 33.19_o exod._n 33.19_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o therefore_o this_o threaten_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o none_o else_o but_o of_o those_o father_n which_o be_v so_o odious_a to_o god_n as_o that_o he_o think_v just_a to_o punish_v their_o posterity_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o those_o child_n of_o they_o father_n which_o god_n in_o his_o secret_a and_o unsearchable_a council_n think_v fit_a thus_o to_o punish_v for_o their_o father_n fault_n and_o so_o we_o be_v come_v to_o consider_v the_o punishment_n to_o be_v inflict_v or_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n do_v this_o and_o yet_o remain_v just_a for_o four_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o all_o punishment_n be_v as_o some_o say_v either_o 1._o paenall_n 2._o criminal_a or_o to_o speak_v more_o plain_o all_o punishment_n be_v either_o 1._o corporal_n 2._o spiritual_a for_o the_o first_o that_o for_o the_o father_n sin_n the_o child_n shall_v be_v temporal_o or_o corporal_o punish_v there_o be_v no_o question_n of_o it_o for_o so_o we_o find_v david_n sin_v and_o the_o child_n beget_v in_o adultery_n suffer_v for_o it_o and_o for_o salomon_n sin_n rehoboam_n lose_v ten_o tribe_n of_o israel_n and_o thus_o not_o only_o those_o child_n which_o imitate_v their_o parents-sinne_n but_o also_o those_o that_o never_o actual_o offend_v be_v many_o time_n unquestionable_o punish_v for_o their_o
