son_n to_o his_o daughter_n but_o the_o proof_n follow_v be_v great_a indeed_o we_o find_v that_o caleb_n the_o son_n of_o jephune_n give_v unto_o his_o daughter_n 15._o joshu_n 15._o achsab_n the_o whole_a country_n of_o hebron_n with_o both_o the_o sprng_n above_o and_o the_o spring_v beneath_o but_o she_o be_v the_o only_a daughter_n of_o her_o father_n and_o he_o then_o have_v no_o son_n live_v and_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v that_o land_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o seed_n and_o yet_o moses_n be_v in_o doubt_n himself_o whether_o that_o a_o woman_n may_v inherit_v land_n or_o no_o for_o we_o find_v that_o the_o daughter_n of_o zel●phehad_n come_v unto_o moses_n and_o demand_v 27._o num._n 27._o a_o portion_n of_o land_n for_o their_o inheritance_n among_o the_o family_n of_o their_o tribe_n because_o all_o the_o male_n of_o the_o family_n of_o their_o father_n be_v decease_v but_o it_o seem_v unto_o he_o so_o difficult_a a_o matter_n to_o answer_v that_o he_o be_v fai●e_a to_o bring_v the_o cause_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n answer_v that_o they_o demand_v but_o right_o for_o say_v he_o if_o a_o man_n do_v die_v and_o leave_v no_o decide_v here_o the_o matter_n be_v by_o god_n himself_o full_o decide_v son_n than_o the_o inheritance_n shall_v turn_v to_o the_o daughter_n against_o this_o who_o can_v or_o dare_v speak_v and_o now_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o no_o man_n may_v give_v the_o portion_n due_a unto_o his_o son_n from_o he_o to_o his_o daughter_n but_o i_o have_v another_o objection_n yet_o of_o this_o politition_n to_o answer_v unto_o i_o do_v remember_v he_o say_v he_o have_v marry_v sundry_a wife_n &_o he_o have_v have_v child_n by_o each_o of_o they_o &_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o great_a many_o more_o the_o first_o wife_n be_v forget_v &_o her_o child_n &_o her_o child_n be_v as_o little_o regard_v &_o therefore_o to_o please_v his_o last_o wife_n he_o will_v suspense_n with_o the_o other_o child_n there_o be_v too_o many_o use_v such_o trick_n in_o these_o day_n but_o if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o scholar_n in_o god_n school_n he_o must_v learn_v another_o lesson_n for_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v have_v child_n by_o sundry_a wife_n and_o that_o he_o love_v the_o one_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o ooth_a if_o his_o first_o bear_v son_n he_o 21._o deu._n 21._o the_o son_n of_o she_o that_o be_v not_o lo●●●_n yet_o when_o the_o time_n come_v th●_n he_o give_v his_o good_n to_o his_o child_n partiality_n a_o principal_a point_n for_o father_n to_o regard_n and_o against_o partiality_n he_o may_v not_o make_v the_o son_n of_o she_o who_o he_o love_v his_o first_o bear_v before_o the_o son_n of_o the_o hate_a which_o be_v inddeed_o the_o first_o bear_v but_o he_o shall_v acknowledge_v the_o son_n of_o the_o hate_a for_o the_o first_o bear_v &_o give_v unto_o he_o a_o double_a portion_n of_o all_o that_o he_o have_v for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o his_o strength_n and_o to_o he_o belong_v the_o right_a of_o the_o first_o bear_v &_o thus_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o partiality_n use_v in_o these_o cause_n but_o now_o to_o conclude_v this_o last_o part_n and_o to_o make_v the_o matter_n yet_o more_o plain_a than_o we_o have_v do_v and_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o father_n may_v not_o give_v his_o good_n from_o his_o child_n nay_o that_o he_o have_v no_o right_a so_o to_o do_v but_o that_o of_o right_n they_o belong_v unto_o his_o child_n we_o have_v yet_o a_o very_a plain_a example_n for_o this_o matter_n in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n who_o come_v to_o his_o father_n for_o a_o portion_n of_o his_o good_n he_o do_v not_o say_v unto_o he_o i_o pray_v you_o father_n that_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o bestow_v upon_o father_n a_o plain_a proof_n of_o the_o right_n which_o the_o child_n have_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o father_n i_o some_o small_a portion_n either_o of_o your_o good_n or_o money_n which_o you_o will_v &_o what_o you_o please_v or_o may_v well_o spare_v he_o do_v not_o so_o nor_o do_v he_o desire_v to_o lend_v he_o such_o or_o so_o much_o money_n neither_o no_o he_o be_v more_o bold_a with_o he_o they_o so_o for_o he_o come_v blunt_o and_o plain_o unto_o he_o neither_o to_o beg_v nor_o to_o borrow_v of_o he_o but_o to_o ask_v his_o own_o say_v father_n give_v i_o the_o portion_n of_o good_n that_o fall_v unto_o i_o or_o as_o some_o translation_n have_v it_o the_o portion_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o i_o or_o my_o portion_n sure_o if_o he_o have_v have_v no_o right_a nor_o interest_n in_o the_o good_n of_o his_o father_n he_o dare_v not_o have_v be_v so_o bold_a and_o saucy_a as_o thus_o to_o demand_v or_o challenge_v a_o portion_n thereof_o as_o he_o do_v neither_o do_v he_o stand_v to_o his_o father_n courtesy_n what_o he_o will_v give_v he_o for_o as_o he_o do_v demand_v but_o his_o own_o so_o he_o 15._o luke_n 15._o demand_v no_o more_o nor_o he_o ask_v no_o less_o well_o than_o it_o appear_v it_o be_v his_o right_n but_o now_o for_o the_o confirmation_n yet_o further_o of_o this_o matter_n let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o father_n take_v the_o business_n for_o if_o his_o son_n have_v matter_n a_o confirmation_n yet_o further_o of_o this_o matter_n exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o his_o duty_n no_o doubt_n but_o as_o a_o father_n he_o will_v soon_o reprove_v and_o correct_v he_o for_o it_o but_o here_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v appear_v plain_o that_o he_o do_v no_o more_o the_o he_o may_v do_v for_o the_o kind_n and_o love_a father_n present_o without_o delay_n yield_v unto_o his_o form_n request_n divide_v his_o good_n betwixt_o his_o two_o son_n &_o so_o he_o give_v unto_o he_o his_o portion_n how_o many_o father_n follow_v this_o parterne_n in_o these_o day_n and_o will_v hear_v their_o son_n in_o such_o a_o case_n nay_o some_o will_v spare_v nothing_o at_o all_o while_n they_o live_v other_o will_v spare_v very_o little_a and_o some_o perhaps_o do_v somewhat_o but_o upon_o condition_n hard_a enough_o this_o son_n when_o he_o have_v receive_v his_o full_a portion_n and_o by_o his_o unthriftinesse_n and_o riot_v have_v spirit_n &_o waste_v this_o his_o portion_n &_o poverty_n so_o hardly_o oppress_v he_o that_o he_o thereby_o be_v constrain_v to_o return_v unto_o his_o father_n again_o who_o with_o joy_n yet_o do_v again_o receive_v he_o his_o elder_a brother_n angry_a herewith_o tell_v his_o father_n that_o for_o all_o his_o long_a service_n do_v unto_o he_o yet_o he_o never_o give_v he_o so_o much_o as_o a_o kidd_n to_o make_v merry_a with_o his_o friend_n and_o say_v he_o do_v thou_o thus_o for_o such_o a_o unthrift_n but_o his_o father_n answer_v son_n be_v content_a thou_o be_v always_o with_o i_o and_o all_o that_o i_o have_v be_v thou_o what_o can_v he_o more_o say_v then_o this_o and_o do_v not_o this_o plain_o teach_v we_o that_o a_o father_n may_v not_o give_v his_o good_n from_o his_o child_n for_o if_o it_o be_v all_o his_o son_n where_o be_v any_o to_o give_v unto_o other_o or_o if_o he_o have_v
