reasonable_a man_n the_o same_o apostle_n have_v among_o other_o sin_n of_o the_o gentile_n mention_v disobedience_n to_o parent_n in_o one_o verse_n in_o the_o very_a next_o verse_n mention_v also_o want_v of_o natural_a affection_n in_o parent_n and_o the_o disobedience_n in_o the_o child_n can_v no_o more_o discharge_v the_o parent_n from_o the_o obligation_n of_o that_o duty_n he_o owe_v to_o the_o child_n of_o affection_n and_o maintenance_n than_o the_o unnaturalness_n of_o the_o parent_n can_v the_o child_n from_o the_o duty_n he_o owe_v to_o the_o parent_n of_o honour_n and_o obedience_n for_o the_o several_a duty_n that_o by_o god_n ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o person_n that_o stand_v in_o mutual_a relation_n either_o to_o other_o be_v not_o pactional_a and_o conditional_a as_o be_v the_o league_n and_o agreement_n make_v between_o prince_n where_o the_o breach_n in_o one_o part_n dissolve_v the_o obligation_n on_o the_o other_o but_o be_v absolute_a and_o independent_a wherein_o each_o person_n be_v to_o look_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o duty_n that_o lie_v upon_o he_o though_o the_o other_o party_n shall_v fail_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o he_o 10._o something_o i_o foresee_v may_v be_v object_v in_o this_o point_n concern_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o parent_n withdraw_v maintenance_n from_o the_o child_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o at_o least_o in_o part_n in_o the_o case_n of_o disobedience_n which_o how_o far_o forth_o it_o may_v or_o may_v not_o be_v do_v as_o it_o will_v be_v too_o long_o to_o examine_v so_o it_o will_v be_v of_o little_a avail_n to_o the_o present_a business_n for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o withhold_v maintenance_n from_o a_o disobedient_a child_n for_o the_o present_a and_o to_o resolve_v so_o to_o continue_v till_o he_o shall_v see_v cause_n to_o the_o contrary_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o bind_v himself_o by_o vow_n or_o oath_n never_o to_o allow_v he_o any_o for_o the_o future_a whatsoever_o shall_v happen_v let_v be_v grant_v whatsoever_o can_v be_v suppose_v pleadable_a on_o the_o father_n behalf_n in_o the_o present_a case_n yet_o there_o will_v still_o remain_v two_o particular_n in_o this_o vow_n not_o easy_o to_o be_v clear_v from_o be_v unjust_a first_o let_v the_o daughter_n disobedience_n deserve_v all_o this_o uttermost_a of_o punishment_n from_o the_o offend_a father_n yet_o how_o can_v it_o be_v just_a that_o for_o the_o mother_n fault_n the_o poor_a innocent_n perhaps_o yet_o unborn_a child_n shall_v be_v utter_o and_o irrecoverable_o exclude_v from_o all_o possibility_n of_o relief_n from_o their_o grandfather_n second_o it_o be_v if_o not_o unjust_a yet_o what_o differ_v very_o little_a therefrom_o the_o extremity_n of_o rigid_a justice_n that_o any_o offender_n much_o less_o a_o son_n or_o daughter_n shall_v for_o any_o offence_n not_o deserve_v death_n be_v by_o a_o kind_n of_o fatal_a peremptory_a decree_n put_v into_o a_o incapacity_n of_o receive_v relief_n from_o such_o person_n as_o otherwise_o aught_o to_o have_v relieve_v the_o say_a offender_n without_o any_o reservation_n either_o of_o the_o case_n of_o extreme_a necessity_n or_o of_o the_o case_n of_o serious_a repentance_n 11._o however_o it_o be_v for_o the_o point_n of_o justice_n yet_o so_o apparent_a be_v the_o repugnancy_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o vow_n with_o the_o precept_n of_o christian_a charity_n and_o mercy_n that_o if_o all_o i_o have_v hitherto_o say_v be_v of_o no_o force_n this_o repugnancy_n alone_o be_v enough_o without_o other_o evidence_n to_o prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n and_o consequent_o the_o invalidity_n or_o inobligability_n thereof_o it_o be_v not_o a_o evangelical_n counsel_n but_o the_o express_a peremptory_a precept_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v merciful_a even_o as_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v merciful_a and_o inasmuch_o as_o not_o in_o that_o passage_n only_o but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n wheresoever_o else_o the_o duty_n of_o mercy_n be_v press_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n from_o the_o example_n of_o god_n god_n be_v represent_v to_o we_o by_o the_o name_n and_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o father_n although_o i_o may_v not_o lay_v much_o weight_n upon_o it_o as_o a_o demonstrative_a proof_n yet_o i_o conceive_v i_o may_v commend_v it_o as_o rational_a topick_n for_o all_o that_o be_v father_n to_o consider_v of_o whether_o it_o do_v not_o import_v that_o mercy_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v from_o a_o father_n as_o much_o as_o if_o not_o rather_o much_o more_o then_o from_o any_o other_o man_n and_o that_o the_o want_n of_o mercy_n in_o a_o father_n be_v more_o unkindy_a more_o unseemly_a more_o unnatural_a then_o in_o another_o man_n but_o this_o by_o the_o way_n from_o that_o precept_n of_o christ_n we_o learn_v that_o as_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o twofold_a mercy_n a_o give_v mercy_n in_o do_v we_o good_a though_o we_o deserve_v it_o not_o and_o a_o forgive_a mercy_n in_o pardon_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o so_o there_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o every_o good_a christian_a man_n a_o readiness_n after_o the_o example_n of_o god_n to_o show_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o mercy_n to_o other_o in_o both_o kind_n upon_o all_o proper_a and_o meet_v occasion_n so_o that_o if_o any_o person_n of_o what_o quality_n or_o condition_n soever_o shall_v upon_o any_o provocation_n whatsoever_o vow_n that_o he_o will_v never_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o such_o or_o such_o a_o man_n or_o that_o he_o will_v never_o
