there_o be_v three_o usual_a way_n by_o which_o person_n obtain_v a_o title_n to_o a_o thing_n 1._o by_o birth_n 2._o by_o purchase_n 3._o by_o gift_n first_o by_o birth_n on_o this_o a_o natural_a relation_n be_v found_v a_o child_n come_v to_o have_v a_o right_n to_o his_o father_n inheritance_n by_o birth_n this_o way_n the_o blessing_n and_o birthright_n fall_v to_o the_o first-born_a so_o

title_n to_o estate_n by_o purchase_n when_o they_o part_v with_o a_o considerable_a value_n for_o they_o three_o another_o way_n of_o right_a to_o a_o thing_n be_v by_o gift_n and_o adoption_n so_o jacob_n come_v to_o a_o estate_n in_o the_o land_n of_o goshen_n and_o joseph_n to_o the_o government_n of_o egypt_n and_o moses_n the_o son-in-law_n to_o pharaoh_n by_o gift_n and_o adoption_n

must_v come_v the_o last_o way_n by_o gift_n fall_v man_n have_v lose_v his_o first_o estate_n with_o all_o right_n to_o life_n and_o capacity_n to_o regain_v it_o by_o fulfil_v the_o term_n in_o
