displease_v against_o man_n that_o nothing_o but_o the_o death_n of_o his_o own_o son_n can_v assuage_v his_o wrath_n beside_o the_o contrary_a be_v so_o necessary_a a_o property_n to_o be_v continue_v ed_z in_o all_o condition_n that_o the_o world_n can_v subsist_v without_o it_o however_o i_o may_v bold_o say_v this_o latter_a age_n have_v not_o only_o create_v strange_a thought_n concern_v this_o duty_n but_o almost_o hourly_o produce_v wonderful_a example_n against_o the_o maxim_n however_o we_o shall_v set_v down_o only_o three_o common_a duty_n of_o this_o kind_n proceed_v from_o the_o first_o infancy_n of_o the_o world_n which_o have_v be_v make_v good_a eversince_o both_o by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o all_o moral_a document_n we_o will_v first_o begin_v with_o that_o obedience_n that_o be_v due_a from_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n which_o set_v aside_o god_n own_o immediate_a precept_n be_v a_o obligation_n challenge_v by_o way_n of_o natural_a right_n for_o have_v bring_v we_o into_o the_o world_n that_o else_o shall_v have_v be_v nothing_o child_n be_v bind_v to_o afford_v their_o parent_n at_o all_o time_n and_o upon_o every_o fit_a occasion_n a_o obsequious_a reverence_n though_o never_o so_o much_o under_o another_o jurisdiction_n as_o also_o another_o duty_n of_o gratitude_n for_o their_o education_n and_o preservation_n in_o their_o infancy_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o care_n be_v have_v of_o their_o person_n when_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o insomuch_o as_o no_o deficiency_n of_o the_o parent_n part_n in_o my_o opinion_n can_v take_v away_o altogether_o that_o humane_a respect_n and_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a by_o nature_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o daughter_n be_v bestow_v in_o marriage_n although_o by_o that_o mean_v she_o become_v under_o another_o jurisdiction_n and_o in_o that_o regard_n can_v dispose_v of_o herself_o without_o her_o husband_n leave_n towards_o their_o service_n yet_o certain_o she_o be_v still_o oblige_v to_o afford_v they_o upon_o all_o convenient_a occasion_n a_o dutiful_a reverence_n nevertheless_o i_o must_v confess_v in_o these_o time_n we_o hold_v it_o sufficient_a satisfaction_n if_o child_n become_v not_o whole_o reprobate_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n without_o have_v any_o consideration_n of_o their_o parent_n particular_a the_o next_o obligation_n of_o obedience_n be_v due_a from_o servant_n to_o their_o master_n which_o however_o it_o be_v limit_v to_o time_n and_o contract_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o conscience_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n agree_v upon_o but_o also_o there_o be_v a_o civil_a duty_n of_o respect_n to_o be_v observe_v after_o the_o time_n be_v expire_v unless_o some_o just_a cause_n have_v be_v give_v to_o the_o contrary_n but_o for_o that_o i_o intend_v to_o speak_v something_o more_o hereof_o in_o another_o place_n i_o shall_v mention_v only_o now_o the_o last_o obedience_n which_o be_v due_a from_o the_o subject_n to_o their_o prince_n institute_v as_o i_o may_v say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n which_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o kind_n the_o first_o be_v that_o purchase_v by_o nimrod_n be_v whole_o usurp_v and_o therefore_o may_v have_v be_v cast_v off_o again_o upon_o the_o first_o opportunity_n however_o the_o continuance_n do_v perhaps_o render_v it_o lawful_a to_o posterity_n the_o second_o be_v domestic_a or_o voluntary_a verify_v in_o the_o person_n of_o abraham_n over_o his_o pious_a and_o godly_a family_n which_o be_v approve_v no_o doubt_n by_o god_n almighty_a when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o fight_v with_o those_o who_o have_v take_v unjust_o

and_o agreement_n which_o make_v subject_n by_o their_o own_o consent_n become_v under_o the_o power_n of_o rule_n as_o may_v be_v testify_v by_o pharaoh_n and_o his_o people_n which_o work_n be_v
