neither_o be_v vanity_n so_o much_o to_o be_v decline_v from_o this_o it_o follow_v that_o these_o may_v assume_v some_o liberty_n to_o dress_v and_o adorn_v their_o person_n as_o also_o to_o

to_o a_o husband_n yet_o such_o trifle_n must_v not_o be_v use_v to_o destroy_v the_o learning_n of_o more_o necessary_a thing_n as_o the_o way_n of_o domestical_a thrift_n with_o the_o well_o

a_o multitude_n of_o unprofitable_a child_n nay_o sometime_o they_o prove_v dangerous_a as_o it_o be_v with_o our_o second_o henry_n who_o have_v many_o son_n and_o most_o of_o they_o rebellious_a so_o as_o before_o his_o death_n he_o bitter_o curse_v two_o of_o they_o who_o survive_v he_o and_o never_o will_v be_v persuade_v by_o his_o bishop_n to_o revoke_v the_o curse_n and_o david_n be_v no_o less_o unhappy_a in_o his_o son_n i_o except_v solomon_n though_o he_o make_v but_o ill_a use_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o have_v befall_v he_o by_o his_o own_o default_n of_o too_o much_o indulgence_n to_o they_o for_o in_o scripture_n there_o be_v such_o a_o note_n set_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o case_n of_o adonijah_n 6._o and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o eli_n who_o negligence_n of_o reproof_n deprive_v his_o family_n of_o that_o great_a dignity_n of_o the_o priesthood_n 24._o solomon_n therefore_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o say_v he_o who_o spare_v the_o

or_o imperial_a as_o they_o relate_v to_o succession_n for_o inheritance_n by_o the_o civil_a law_n every_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o have_v legal_a issue_n as_o well_o as_o natural_a and_o may_v adopt_v who_o he_o will_v though_o he_o have_v posterity_n otherwise_o these_o adopt_a child_n be_v as_o capable_a of_o inheritance_n as_o the_o natural_a so_o as_o not_o only_o the_o childless_a person_n may_v provide_v himself_o of_o a_o heir_n but_o any_o other_o man_n use_v his_o judgement_n in_o choose_v one_o educate_v and_o of_o inclination_n according_a to_o his_o mind_n why_o this_o be_v whole_o reject_v in_o our_o law_n be_v leave_v to_o conjecture_v our_o lawyer_n have_v this_o say_n that_o god_n only_o make_v heir_n and_o we_o know_v that_o he_o can_v make_v better_a choice_n than_o we_o ourselves_o sure_o i_o be_o it_o may_v well_o become_v we_o to_o submit_v to_o his_o determination_n to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v add_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o need_v of_o adoption_n with_o northern_a people_n as_o with_o southern_a for_o we_o be_v more_o fruitful_a and_o generative_a than_o they_o and_o by_o adoption_n there_o be_v a_o total_a change_n of_o blood_n and_o a_o change_n more_o certain_a then_o if_o the_o succession_n be_v spurious_a or_o of_o bastard_n by_o the_o father_n side_n this_o be_v very_o injurious_a to_o progenitor_n
