to_o prefer_v the_o elder_a tych._n i_o know_v not_o what_o you_o may_v urge_v by_o argument_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a your_o proof_n be_v altogether_o repugnant_a which_o upon_o examination_n of_o

common_a with_o you_o in_o this_o manner_n be_v the_o elder_a most_o dissolute_a and_o incline_v to_o evil_a and_o be_v the_o young_a more_o diligent_a and_o forward_o to_o thrive_v have_v the_o

such_o to_o thrive_v with_o a_o penny_n that_o will_v prosper_v be_v man_n so_o bind_v to_o prefer_v the_o elder_a of_o custom_n that_o they_o will_v injure_v the_o young_a without_o conscience_n no_o no_o a_o wiseman_n will_v alter_v custom_n after_o discretion_n and_o dispose_v his_o wealth_n according_a to_o wisdom_n he_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o riches_n to_o he_o that_o be_v riotous_a for_o he_o know_v full_a well_o that_o a_o break_a vessel_n will_v hold_v no_o water_n that_o wealth_n in_o his_o finger_n be_v like_o wax_n against_o the_o fire_n one_o will_v consume_v with_o much_o

get_v by_o himself_o in_o his_o life_n he_o will_v therefore_o make_v he_o his_o heir_n not_o which_o be_v first_o bear_v but_o best_o incline_v not_o the_o elder_a but_o the_o excellent_a he_o will_v i_o say_v give_v most_o of_o his_o good_n to_o such_o a_o one_o as_o by_o his_o own_o life_n he_o shall_v have_v foresight_n of_o his_o forwardness_n to_o live_v and_o not_o to_o such_o a_o one_o as_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o be_v reform_v in_o his_o life_n yea_o he_o will_v make_v he_o the_o better_a that_o be_v most_o obedient_a and_o dutiful_a to_o do_v he_o good_a this_o be_v the_o course_n christian_n ought_v to_o take_v and_o for_o this_o they_o have_v warrant_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v good_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o he_o have_v
