safe_o therefore_o allow_v indulgence_n than_o austerity_n because_o it_o approach_v near_a to_o true_a love_n for_o though_o indulgence_n have_v make_v child_n lofty_a in_o behaviour_n towards_o other_o yet_o i_o observe_v it_o breed_v a_o true_a and_o undivorce_v affection_n towards_o the_o original_a cause_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o excellent_a rule_n for_o child_n to_o receive_v instruction_n of_o stranger_n and_o by_o the_o consequent_a to_o be_v any_o way_n restrain_v without_o the_o parent_n knowledge_n or_o at_o least_o their_o take_a notice_n whereby_o nature_n can_v

offence_n yet_o we_o have_v natural_o a_o secret_a spleen_n against_o the_o judge_n though_o we_o account_v he_o righteous_a and_o impartial_a it_o must_v be_v expect_v then_o that_o child_n do_v know_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o father_n and_o master_n which_o make_v they_o the_o more_o implacable_a when_o they_o see_v nature_n impartial_a from_o hence_o sertorius_n a_o politic_a captain_n will_v not_o himself_o repress_v the_o impudence_n of_o his_o soldier_n least_o howsoever_o they_o deserve_v ill_a yet_o his_o correction_n may_v take_v away_o their_o love_a duty_n which_o respect_n

of_o correction_n may_v be_v keep_v unviolate_a and_o the_o love_n of_o child_n vublemish_v for_o i_o be_o unanswerable_o persuade_v that_o parent_n wrath_n diminish_v the_o child_n love_n make_v he_o servile_a or_o else_o refractorie_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o themselves_o and_o other_o because_o they_o can_v undertake_v with_o delight_n so_o long_o as_o frown_n and_o fear_n be_v creep_v into_o

disinheritance_n i_o will_v demonstrate_v how_o horrible_a unlawful_a &_o impossible_a disinheritance_n maybe_o judicious_o account_v the_o divorce_n of_o marriage_n be_v a_o weighty_a case_n much_o

how_o difficult_a a_o thing_n divorce_n will_v be_v betwixt_o two_o so_o narrow_o unite_v but_o child_n have_v a_o more_o exquisite_a property_n of_o indivorceable_a because_o they_o real_o partake_v with_o parent_n by_o existence_n derive_v a_o particular_a &_o true_a strength_n of_o body_n from_o the_o parent_n ability_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v the_o matter_n of_o disinheritance_n be_v a_o

verdict_n of_o divine_a injunction_n to_o suffer_v death_n if_o they_o shall_v strike_v the_o parent_n or_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o but_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o disinheritance_n which_o far_o transcend_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n as_o shall_v appear_v i_o have_v read_v no_o syllable_n which_o may_v give_v the_o toleration_n of_o divinity_n death_n indeed_o comparative_o respect_v may_v be_v think_v the_o best_a wage_n of_o a_o rebellious_a son_n for_o the_o act_n include_v his_o full_a sentence_n because_o to_o smite_v his_o parent_n be_v to_o seek_v the_o destruction_n of_o his_o efficient_a cause_n which_o act_n keep_v within_o it_o so_o much_o ingratitude_n as_o heavenly_a justice_n can_v do_v no_o less_o then_o remove_v he_o who_o dare_v remove_v his_o begetter_n it_o be_v a_o inseparable_a part_n of_o holiness_n to_o pay_v offender_n with_o their_o own_o coin_n but_o disinheritance_n so_o much_o exceed_v death_n as_o it_o approach_v to_o a_o continue_a torment_n death_n be_v so_o fa●re_v from_o misery_n wh●re_v man_n expiate_v offence_n as_o it_o rather_o afford_v felicity_n because_o it_o give_v a_o present_a satisfaction_n and_o a_o present_a hope_n to_o enjoy_v a_o good_a portion_n if_o penitence_n and_o a_o satisfactory_a mind_n be_v companion_n but_o disinheriritance_n or_o abdication_n do_v not_o only_o enforce_v death_n but_o make_v the_o circumstance_n tyrannical_a a_o violent_a death_n be_v but_o a_o abridgement_n of_o nature_n but_o disinheritance_n do_v often_o bring_v a_o violent_a death_n and_o enlarge_v the_o wickedness_n of_o nature_n i_o see_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o in_o the_o conclusion_n for_o death_n be_v a_o effect_n common_o of_o disinheritance_n but_o no_o death_n more_o exclude_v all_o humanity_n the_o case_n be_v palpable_a i_o give_v direction_n to_o a_o traveller_n he_o arrogant_o contemn_v my_o counsel_n which_o do_v so_o much_o provoke_v i_o as_o to_o amend_v the_o matter_n i_o draw_v he_o by_o

by_o so_o much_o as_o natural_a affinity_n claim_v a_o more_o humane_a precedent_n than_o stranger_n banishment_n or_o abjuration_n be_v tolerable_a for_o it_o take_v original_a by_o public_a decree_n superior_a counsel_n and_o authority_n of_o those_o from_o who_o i_o can_v challenge_v nothing_o but_o justice_n whereas_o disinheritance_n a_o national_a banishment_n transcend_v foreign_a exile_n in_o the_o cause_n and_o manner_n proceed_v from_o private_a occurrence_n which_o can_v reach_v so_o high_a a_o affliction_n because_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v equal_a to_o nay_o above_o public_a justice_n now_o it_o may_v well_o be_v esteem_v humane_a when_o parent_n punish_v with_o rigour_n where_o the_o law_n condemn_v not_o because_o in_o every_o offence_n high_o punishable_a the_o law_n be_v open_a if_o that_o condemn_v the_o parent_n love_n may_v a_o little_a be_v excuse_v though_o he_o do_v not_o excuse_v his_o son_n accusation_n but_o where_o himself_o exceed_v the_o law_n rigour_n when_o the_o law_n be_v silent_a and_o become_v accuser_n judge_n and_o executioner_n we_o may_v discover_v a_o damnable_a flinty_a heart_n apt_a enough_o for_o massacre_v see_v he_o first_o
