but_o give_v you_o the_o head_n of_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n against_o reason_n hence_o i_o will_v note_v this_o to_o you_o that_o one_o way_n to_o moderate_v our_o sorrow_n reason_n and_o to_o regulate_v they_o aright_o be_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o examination_n of_o reason_n and_o judgement_n when_o passion_n sway_v when_o they_o do_v not_o look_v to_o the_o command_n

to_o stop_v passion_n when_o it_o be_v run_v on_o its_o free_a course_n if_o david_n have_v do_v thus_o will_v he_o have_v run_v out_o to_o that_o excessive_a expression_n for_o his_o son_n oh_o

so_o much_o to_o grieve_v and_o to_o be_v trouble_v at_o if_o jonah_n have_v do_v thus_o if_o he_o have_v consider_v what_o reason_n he_o have_v to_o be_v angry_a as_o god_n put_v the_o question_n to_o he_o do_v thou_o well_o to_o be_v angry_a will_v he_o not_o have_v stop_v that_o passion_n if_o cain_n have_v do_v thus_o if_o he_o have_v put_v the_o question_n to_o himself_o as_o god_n do_v

also_o arise_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o guilt_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o by_o sin_n he_o have_v bring_v this_o sorrow_n upon_o himself_o and_o therefore_o who_o know_v whether_o

sense_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n the_o point_n i_o note_v hence_o be_v 17._o that_o parent_n in_o the_o misery_n that_o befall_v their_o child_n shall_v call_v their_o own_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n all_o the_o sorrow_n and_o sickness_n and_o pain_n and_o misery_n that_o befall_v child_n shall_v present_v to_o parent_n the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o expression_n of_o

here_o say_v 24.16_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o need_n of_o such_o a_o course_n for_o god_n have_v say_v plain_o that_o the_o child_n shall_v not_o die_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o after_o god_n clear_v his_o own_o way_n from_o inequality_n and_o injustice_n by_o that_o argument_n the_o son_n shall_v not_o bear_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n 18.20_o therefore_o what_o

by_o death_n he_o mean_v as_o the_o word_n signify_v the_o destruction_n of_o nature_n so_o death_n shall_v not_o befall_v the_o child_n for_o that_o sin_n that_o himself_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o

they_o be_v bear_v and_o in_o iniquity_n their_o mother_n conceive_v they_o and_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n therefore_o they_o die_v for_o their_o own_o sin_n but_o what_o if_o temporal_a

and_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o parent_n for_o as_o death_n so_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n be_v fruit_n of_o original_a sin_n which_o be_v a_o inheritance_n in_o the_o person_n of_o
