that_o the_o parent_n be_v even_o as_o the_o huntsman_n find_v a_o litter_n of_o some_o noisome_a &_o obnoxious_a beast_n kill_v they_o though_o they_o never_o do_v harm_n because_o their_o nature_n be_v to_o do_v harm_n if_o they_o live_v even_o so_o god_n in_o his_o justice_n may_v destroy_v the_o very_a infant_n and_o suck_a babe_n both_o temporal_o and_o eternal_o though_o they_o never_o

may_v because_o he_o never_o make_v promise_n of_o mercy_n unto_o they_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n destroy_v these_o child_n be_v to_o increase_v the_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o their_o parent_n for_o common_o the_o misery_n of_o our_o child_n be_v more_o grievous_a unto_o we_o than_o our_o own_o misery_n david_n take_v the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n absalon_n so_o heavy_o that_o

when_o they_o hear_v they_o scréeke_v and_o cry_v and_o can_v not_o help_v they_o it_o be_v as_o grievous_a unto_o they_o as_o their_o own_o misery_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o even_o to_o increase_v and_o enlarge_v their_o sorrow_n the_o three_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n destroy_v these_o child_n be_v 3._o because_o they_o shall_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o wicked_a &_o abominable_a way_n of_o their_o parent_n for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v the_o nature_n which_o they_o draw_v from_o their_o parent_n will_v have_v draw_v they_o to_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o parent_n lest_o therefore_o these_o child_n shall_v have_v trace_v the_o sinful_a step_n of_o their_o parent_n the_o lord_n take_v they_o away_o in_o the_o same_o destruction_n with_o their_o parent_n the_o last_o reason_n why_o these_o child_n be_v destroy_v be_v 4_o because_o god_n will_v leave_v none_o of_o that_o wicked_a brood_n to_o remain_v upon_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v overmany_a of_o that_o rank_n already_o conscionable_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v root_v out_o the_o memory_n of_o this_o people_n he_o destroy_v child_n and_o all_o whereby_o man_n be_v

the_o parent_n lie_v heavy_o upon_o the_o child_n and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o thy_o own_o soul_n yet_o have_v a_o respect_n of_o thy_o child_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n
