A30020	A discourse against unequal marriages viz, against old persons marrying with young, against persons marrying without the parents or friends consent, against persons marrying without their own consent.	Bufford, Samuel.	1696 (1696)	Wing B5364; ESTC R4795	32,369	134

all_o the_o kindness_n tenderness_n and_o care_n imaginable_a to_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o instruct_v he_o in_o every_o good_a and_o virtuous_a exercise_n to_o be_v most_o exact_a in_o teach_v he_o

but_o then_o for_o such_o a_o parent_n by_o his_o over_o violent_a zeal_n and_o too_o eager_a desire_n after_o his_o son_n happiness_n by_o a_o unlucky_a blow_n to_o ruin_v he_o at_o once_o beyond_o

and_o because_o they_o suppose_v their_o child_n do_v not_o know_v what_o be_v good_a for_o themselves_o their_o threat_n must_v drive_v they_o to_o it_o which_o destroy_v the_o very_a essence_n and_o

have_v undo_v all_o and_o ruin_v they_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n that_o no_o man_n may_v think_v that_o i_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o ill_a will_n or_o prejudice_n i_o do_v free_o and_o sincere_o declare_v that_o i_o have_v so_o good_a a_o opinion_n of_o all_o parent_n and_o particular_o of_o these_o sort_n i_o be_o treat_v of_o that_o i_o can_v so_o much_o as_o

upon_o the_o account_n of_o fault_n and_o disobedience_n to_o have_v put_v extraordinary_a ill_a thing_n upon_o their_o child_n and_o such_o as_o they_o themselves_o must_v needs_o know_v to_o be_v hard_a and_o cruel_a but_o when_o i_o go_v about_o to_o acquit_v they_o of_o this_o vice_n i_o must_v of_o necessity_n accuse_v they_o of_o a_o insufferable_a piece_n of_o folly_n beside_o a_o horrible_a sin_n which_o i_o shall_v mention_v to_o they_o by_o and_o by_o when_o they_o think_v to_o make_v that_o match_n happy_a which_o begin_v with_o hatred_n and_o loathe_n and_o this_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a thing_n which_o man_n of_o their_o age_n and_o experience_n can_v never_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o they_o may_v as_o well_o hope_v to_o see_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o heaven_n meet_v or_o make_v fire_n and_o water_n agree_v as_o the_o love_n inclination_n and_o affection_n of_o some_o person_n young_a people_n humour_n and_o passion_n be_v very_o often_o strange_a

humour_n and_o inclination_n as_o well_o as_o different_a fruit_n but_o some_o parent_n who_o beginning_n to_o perceive_v and_o reflect_v upon_o the_o miserable_a and_o deplorable_a effect_n of_o the_o hard_a and_o severe_a usage_n their_o pity_n flow_v in_o apace_o do_v still_o flatter_v themselves_o with_o the_o hope_n that_o time_n shall_v ease_v they_o and_o help_v to_o set_v all_o to_o right_n again_o and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a and_o threadbare_a pretence_n that_o all_o parent_n make_v use_v of_o to_o excuse_v their_o severity_n and_o injustice_n for_o say_v they_o though_o the_o wound_n be_v wide_a and_o troublesome_a yet_o the_o cure_n be_v not_o very_o hard_a time_n and_o balmy_a blood_n with_o a_o little_a care_n will_v make_v all_o well_o again_o but_o sad_a experience_n confute_v this_o and_o show_v it_o to_o be_v altogether_o false_a and_o frivolous_a for_o we_o constant_o find_v that_o length_n of_o time_n and_o day_n do_v very_o rare_o produce_v any_o
