be_v proper_a to_o the_o mother_n who_o common_o bring_v up_o her_o child_n with_o more_o tender_a affection_n and_o discretion_n and_o according_a to_o the_o old_a say_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o a_o mother_n to_o be_v fond_a of_o her_o child_n and_o wise_a both_o together_o but_o yet_o the_o right_a love_n be_v to_o beat_v and_o correct_v they_o when_o they_o shall_v deserve_v it_o

which_o be_v too_o cruel_a to_o their_o child_n and_o beat_v they_o continual_o like_o slave_n for_o the_o least_o fault_n in_o the_o world_n true_o those_o father_n be_v to_o be_v mislike_v of_o all_o man_n for_o that_o without_o any_o discretion_n they_o measure_v their_o child_n by_o themselves_o and_o require_v at_o their_o hand_n a_o matter_n impossible_a which_o be_v to_o have_v they_o be_v old_a in_o their_o youth_n not_o suffer_v they_o to_o enjoy_v that_o liberty_n which_o be_v allow_v to_o their_o age_n and_o in_o my_o mind_n they_o descrue_v no_o other_o name_n then_o of_o schoolmaster_n for_o that_o they_o can_v manner_n their_o child_n well_o unless_o they_o have_v a_o rod_n in_o their_o hand_n for_o if_o they_o be_v right_a father_n they_o will_v be_v content_a that_o their_o child_n shall_v learn_v of_o they_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o refrain_v from_o do_v ill_a and_o to_o use_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o honest_a which_o a_o child_n be_v

place_n they_o will_v heepe_n their_o child_n under_o by_o force_n and_o make_v they_o do_v every_o thing_n contrary_a to_o nature_n yea_o even_o to_o wear_v their_o apparel_n after_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o good_a man_n of_o the_o time_n past_a in_o this_o they_o do_v amiss_o and_o hereby_o they_o make_v their_o child_n not_o to_o love_v they_o harse_o and_o to_o obey_v they_o rather_o for_o fear_v then_o affection_n and_o beside_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o the_o beat_n without_o measure_n and_o the_o keep_v they_o in_o continual_a fear_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o a_o man_n can_v

such_o like_a sign_n and_o can_v only_o with_o a_o word_n correct_v they_o and_o make_v they_o ashamed_a of_o their_o fault_n yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v few_o father_n that_o know_v how_o to_o keep_v the_o mean_a but_o they_o will_v orth_o be_v too_o rough_a or_o too_o gentle_a to_o their_o child_n whereof_o as_o the_o one_o drive_v they_o to_o desperatenes_n so_o the_o other_o bring_v they_o to_o wantonness_n we_o must_v think_v that_o a_o child_n have_v give_v unto_o he_o a_o father_n and_o a_o mother_n to_o the_o end_n that_o of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o other_o that_o mean_v i_o speak_v of_o may_v be_v make_v and_o that_o the_o severity_n of_o the_o father_n may_v be_v somewhat_o mitigate_v by_o the_o levity_n of_o the_o mother_n now_o this_o call_v to_o mind_v a_o other_o disagréement_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o child_n which_o be_v the_o partial_a love_n of_o the_o father_n towards_o his_o child_n for_o in_o my_o mind_n it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n that_o he_o shall_v love_v one_o more_o than_o a_o other_o and_o that_o all_o be_v of_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n he_o shall_v cast_v a_o merry_a countenance_n upon_o some_o of_o they_o and_o a_o angry_a look_n upon_o other_o some_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o a_o father_n lon_v not_o all_o his_o child_n alike_o and_o yet_o he_o who_o he_o love_v least_o can_v just_o complain_v of_o he_o for_o the_o in-equality_n of_o love_n be_v permit_v to_o the_o father_n affection_n a_o father_n that_o be_v a_o husbandman_n

for_o he_o see_v he_o like_o himself_o in_o life_n and_o manner_n wherein_o his_o other_o son_n in_o duty_n must_v be_v content_a for_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v lead_v to_o like_v those_o thing_n
