A20768	The yonger brother his apology by it selfe. Or A fathers free power disputed for the disposition of his lands, or other his fortunes to his sonne, sonnes, or any one of them: as right reason, the laws of God and nature, the ciuill, canon, and municipall lawes of this kingdome do command.

heritance_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o any_o one_o particular_a person_n and_o namely_o to_o the_o elder_a brother_n yet_o in_o some_o case_n it_o will_v not_o bind_v the_o father_n to_o observe_v it_o

since_o that_o neither_o god_n nor_o nature_n do_v immediate_o make_v heir_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n and_o nature_n make_v man_n who_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o

parent_n have_v of_o themselves_o and_o by_o the_o national_a law_n and_o custom_n a_o great_a regard_n of_o their_o first_o beget_v and_o prefer_v they_o to_o the_o better_a part_n of_o their_o possession_n yet_o not_o by_o any_o command_n from_o god_n as_o a_o precept_n to_o bind_v his_o elect_a people_n under_o pain_n of_o sin_n for_o have_v any_o such_o law_n bind_v they_o under_o such_o a_o penalty_n then_o shall_v it_o bind_v all_o christian_n now_o on_o the_o same_o condition_n for_o we_o see_v it_o by_o general_a practice_n of_o all_o country_n to_o be_v otherwise_o therefore_o it_o follow_v direct_o that_o it_o be_v not_o god_n comaundement_n but_o a_o nationall_n law_n for_o god_n both_o be_v and_o ever_o be_v one_o without_o change_n to_o all_o his_o people_n and_o so_o

be_v think_v that_o god_n ordain_v it_o as_o a_o punishment_n of_o the_o one_o and_o blessing_n of_o the_o other_o which_o by_o the_o permission_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v commit_v god_n do_v never_o do_v neither_o do_v the_o nationall_n law_n or_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v say_v absolute_o command_v the_o father_n to_o leave_v unto_o his_o first_o beget_v all_o or_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o good_n and_o fortune_n but_o if_o in_o case_n he_o die_v not_o dispose_v thereof_o by_o act_n in_o his_o life_n or_o will_v at_o his_o death_n than_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o nation_n
