stranger_n and_o what_o can_v be_v a_o great_a affront_n to_o god_n then_o that_o a_o father_n shall_v disaffect_v and_o reject_v his_o child_n who_o god_n have_v not_o only_o give_v he_o but_o give_v they_o for_o his_o honour_n for_o it_o be_v say_v eccl._n 3._o and_o prov._n 17._o that_o father_n be_v honour_v in_o their_o child_n and_o that_o the_o crown_n or_o glory_n of_o old_a man_n be_v their_o child_n child_n the_o apologer_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o monstrous_a immanity_n in_o any_o man_n not_o to_o have_v care_n to_o preserve_v his_o species_n that_o be_v not_o to_o have_v care_n to_o preserve_v and_o provide_v for_o his_o child_n and_o can_v it_o be_v a_o monstrous_a immanity_n and_o not_o a_o sin_n he_o also_o say_v that_o every_o act_n in_o itself_o or_o by_o

that_o no_o law_n be_v valid_a where_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v unlawful_a and_o a_o sin_n and_o be_v it_o not_o then_o a_o sin_n to_o disinherit_v a_o elder_a son_n unto_o who_o the_o law_n both_o divine_a and_o humane_a give_v the_o right_n of_o inheritance_n and_o which_o we_o also_o see_v confirm_v by_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o all_o good_a parent_n proof_n 26._o that_o we_o can_v in_o conscience_n sell_v or_o give_v a_o weapon_n to_o one_o who_o we_o know_v intend_v to_o murder_v excommunication_n be_v impose_v on_o they_o who_o sell_v armour_n or_o weapon_n to_o turk_n the_o

vicious_a there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o his_o father_n may_v lawful_o and_o religious_o disinherit_v he_o but_o how_o can_v a_o desperate_a sinner_n or_o unthrift_n be_v know_v we_o be_v divine_o

once_o a_o unthrift_n musty_a always_o be_v so_o we_o have_v daily_a experience_n to_o the_o contrary_a many_o unthrift_n prove_v the_o best_a husband_n for_o such_o man_n common_o run_v out_o of_o

unfit_a to_o inherit_v that_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v but_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o in_o conscience_n a_o elder_a son_n can_v be_v disinherit_v mere_o for_o his_o unthriftinesse_n for_o we_o may_v so_o estate_n our_o land_n and_o yet_o suffer_v he_o and_o his_o heir_n to_o inherit_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o hurt_v or_o to_o overthrow_v his_o family_n proof_n 27._o that_o if_o in_o conscience_n the_o whole_a inheritance_n of_o the_o father_n be_v to_o come_v without_o control_n to_o the_o elder_a son_n then_o must_v it_o of_o necessity_n be_v infer_v that_o the_o father_n without_o his_o consent_n can_v give_v to_o pious_a use_n or_o set_v out_o for_o his_o other_o child_n after_o his_o death_n so_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v bless_v a_o father_n with_o many_o child_n and_o cross_v he_o with_o as_o many_o misfortune_n his_o other_o child_n and_o all_o his_o other_o charitable_a intention_n shall_v be_v provide_v for_o only_o at_o his_o son_n or_o heir_n courtesy_n for_o thereupon_o all_o donation_n to_o pious_a use_n and_o to_o young_a brother_n for_o their_o portion_n may_v be_v call_v in_o question_n answ_n elder_n son_n

that_o father_n have_v a_o power_n among_o the_o jew_n to_o cause_v their_o child_n for_o riot_n disorder_n and_o unthriftinesse_n to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n ergo_fw-la they_o have_v power_n to_o
