give_v you_o a_o clear_a original_a from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o well_o of_o paternal_a authority_n as_o civil_a government_n without_o recur_v to_o divine_a revelation_n which_o as_o i_o

you_o that_o eve_n be_v the_o representative_a of_o all_o wife_n do_v not_o put_v either_o herself_o or_o her_o daughter_n into_o any_o absolute_a subjection_n either_o to_o adam_n or_o their_o husband_n if_o it_o do_v then_o can_v not_o this_o subjection_n be_v likewise_o owe_v either_o to_o adam_n as_o the_o patriarch_n or_o grandfather_n of_o the_o family_n or_o to_o his_o elder_a son_n after_o his_o decease_n since_o this_o will_v make_v every_o wife_n in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n to_o have_v have_v two_o absolute_a lord_n her_o husband_n and_o her_o husband_n father_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o saviour_n rule_n that_o no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n that_o be_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o service_n and_o therefore_o it_o plain_o make_v out_o my_o distinction_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o conjugal_a submission_n of_o a_o wife_n to_o her_o husband_n and_o a_o servile_a subjection_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o lord_n as_o also_o of_o that_o obedience_n or_o duty_n which_o a_o subject_a owe_v his_o sovereign_n since_o by_o your_o own_o hypothesis_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o either_o cain_n wife_n for_o example_n be_v not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o her_o husband_n or_o else_o must_v be_v free_a from_o all_o subjection_n to_o her_o father_n adam_n but_o as_o for_o any_o submission_n to_o cain_n as_o elder_a brother_n after_o adam_n decease_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v excuse_v meddle_v with_o it_o till_o we_o have_v dispatch_v the_o question_n in_o hand_n i_o come_v now_o to_o those_o fresh_a consideration_n you_o bring_v for_o this_o monarchical_a power_n of_o adam_n for_o indeed_o i_o can_v call_v they_o new_a argument_n because_o most_o of_o they_o have_v be_v answer_v already_o the_o first_o consideration_n be_v from_o the_o priority_n of_o the_o be_v which_o you_o suppose_v give_v adam_n a_o power_n over_o his_o wife_n and_o consequent_o over_o his_o child_n but_o i_o think_v his_o priority_n of_o be_v can_v give_v he_o no_o such_o power_n at_o all_o over_o she_o and_o consequent_o not_o over_o they_o for_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o if_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o have_v create_v the_o same_o day_n that_o eve_n be_v make_v twenty_o single_a man_n and_o their_o wife_n that_o therefore_o adam_n must_v have_v be_v from_o his_o be_v first_o create_v monarch_n over_o they_o all_o unless_o god_n have_v particular_o command_v it_o i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o from_o god_n create_v eve_n out_o of_o adam_n it_o do_v render_v her_o inferior_a to_o he_o and_o also_o from_o god_n express_a command_n that_o she_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o in_o all_o conjugal_a duty_n yet_o do_v neither_o of_o these_o render_v she_o or_o her_o child_n absolute_a of_o perpetual_a subject_n and_o slave_n to_o adam_n and_o that_o their_o be_v derive_v from_o he_o or_o by_o his_o act_n do_v not_o at_o all_o alter_v the_o case_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v as_o for_o the_o three_o that_o if_o she_o ween_v form_v for_o he_o and_o not_o he_o for_o she_o that_o this_o must_v be_v another_o reason_n which_o must_v extend_v to_o his_o child_n too_o here_o the_o assumption_n be_v not_o only_o false_a but_o the_o consequence_n too_o for_o she_o be_v not_o only_o form_v for_o he_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v a_o mutual_a help_n to_o each_o other_o and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o a_o man_n shall_v leave_v his_o father_n and_o his_o mother_n 2.24_o and_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o hit_v wife_n and_o they_o two_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n which_o word_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v very_o far_o from_o prove_v any_o such_o absolute_a subjection_n for_o no_o man_n can_v ever_o tyrannize_v over_o his_o own_o flesh_n and_o if_o such_o a_o absolute_a subjection_n have_v be_v intend_v from_o eve_n to_o adam_n it_o have_v be_v more_o consonant_n to_o reason_n for_o the_o scripture_n to_o have_v enjoin_v she_o to_o have_v leave_v her_o father_n and_o mother_n to_o cleave_v to_o her_o husband_n whereas_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o more_o mean_v by_o this_o text_n than_o that_o when_o a_o man_n marry_v he_o may_v free_o
son_n do_v what_o you_o can_v and_o so_o consequent_o you_o will_v still_o owe_v he_o subjection_n for_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n not_o only_o of_o the_o civil_a law_n 15._o but_o that_o of_o nature_n too_o and_o this_o most_o of_o all_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v before_o civil_a law_n have_v restrain_v tha●_n paternal_a power_n jura_n sanguinis_fw-la nullo_n delicto_fw-la

resist_v and_o so_o may_v also_o destroy_v f._n i_o consist_v you_o have_v urge_v this_o argument_n as_o home_n as_o the_o thing_n will_v bear_v but_o yet_o i_o think_v i_o can_v show_v you_o that_o the_o son_n be_v so_o far_o from_o act_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o thus_o resist_v his_o father_n that_o i_o think_v he_o will_v rather_o transgress_v it_o if_o he_o act_v otherwise_o but_o first_o to_o answer_v your_o argument_n i_o deny_v that_o either_o generation_n or_o education_n do_v confer_v so_o great_a a_o benefit_n that_o a_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o sacrifice_n himself_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o all_o he_o have_v in_o return_n for_o it_o first_o for_o generation_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o much_o insist_v on_o that_o since_o you_o must_v grant_v that_o a_o father_n do_v not_o act_n in_o that_o matter_n as_o a_o voluntary_a but_o natural_a agent_n neither_o be_v it_o in_o his_o power_n to_o hinder_v the_o child_n that_o he_o get_v from_o be_v conceive_v or_o bear_v neither_o do_v he_o get_v he_o so_o much_o to_o propagate_v his_o species_n as_o to_o gratify_v his_o own_o present_a natural_a appetite_n then_o for_o education_n which_o i_o grant_v be_v much_o the_o great_a obligation_n since_o by_o the_o former_a i_o be_o only_o bear_v a_o irrational_a helpless_a creature_n but_o by_o the_o other_o i_o be_o make_v a_o reasonable_a man_n able_a to_o help_v and_o provide_v for_o myself_o and_o know_v my_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o other_o man_n yet_o even_o these_o obligation_n be_v not_o great_a enough_o to_o make_v i_o sacrifice_v myself_o and_o all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o his_o fury_n or_o humour_n i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o if_o it_o be_v to_o save_v a_o kind_a father_n life_n a_o son_n may_v be_v oblige_v to_o venture_v nay_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n to_o perform_v it_o but_o i_o deny_v that_o even_o for_o such_o a_o father_n he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o give_v up_o the_o life_n of_o other_o which_o be_v not_o at_o his_o disposal_n as_o those_o of_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n be_v not_o in_o this_o case_n for_o this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o return_v more_o than_o be_v first_o give_v but_o also_o to_o pay_v debt_n with_o that_o which_o be_v not_o my_o own_o and_o to_o give_v up_o their_o life_n and_o let_v my_o father_n take_v they_o away_o be_v all_o one_o if_o i_o can_v hinder_v it_o qui_fw-la non_fw-la prohibet_fw-la facit_fw-la then_o as_o for_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o father_n which_o you_o say_v no_o fault_n of_o he_o can_v obliterate_v or_o destroy_v you_o must_v grant_v that_o it_o may_v be_v suspend_v for_o a_o time_n as_o when_o a_o man_n bind_v or_o resist_v his_o mad_a or_o druken_v father_n who_o will_v kill_v he_o or_o his_o wife_n or_o child_n he_o do_v not_o

therefore_o be_v no_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o jura_n sanguinis_fw-la aliquo_fw-la delicto_fw-la dirimi_fw-la possunt_fw-la or_o else_o a_o father_n can_v never_o put_v his_o son_n to_o death_n for_o

the_o state_n of_o nature_n viz._n the_o power_n which_o father_n as_o master_n or_o head_n of_o family_n may_v exercise_v over_o the_o live_v of_o their_o child_n or_o servant_n whilst_o they_o

where_o a_o father_n will_v take_v away_o a_o son_n life_n in_o a_o fit_a of_o drunkenness_n madness_n or_o sudden_a passion_n without_o any_o crime_n commit_v or_o just_a cause_n give_v which_o i_o

who_o be_v like_a to_o suffer_v this_o violence_n may_v not_o judge_v when_o his_o life_n be_v real_o in_o danger_n to_o be_v destroy_v because_o he_o may_v pretend_v so_o when_o real_o it_o be_v not_o this_o be_v no_o just_a reason_n to_o overthrow_v so_o great_a a_o right_a as_o self_n preservation_n since_o if_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a objection_n it_o will_v have_v the_o same_o

be_v the_o cause_n of_o so_o great_a mischief_n in_o family_n if_o child_n shall_v have_v no_o right_a to_o judge_v when_o their_o father_n abuse_v their_o power_n over_o they_o let_v we_o a_o

with_o the_o power_n of_o all_o such_o master_n of_o family_n or_o freeman_n take_v together_o may_v for_o the_o s●me_a end_n viz._n the_o good_a government_n and_o peace_n of_o ●heir_a family_n and_o
