have_v a_o son_n a_o natural_a son_n beget_v in_o and_o of_o himself_o yet_o he_o will_v adopt_v other_o son_n to_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o same_o glory_n with_o this_o son_n this_o be_v great_a love_n it_o be_v the_o love_n in_o man_n that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v childless_a and_o have_v not_o a_o son_n he_o adopt_v a_o stranger_n this_o be_v account_v great_a love_n that_o he_o will_v adopt_v another_o son_n and_o make_v he_o his_o own_o but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o son_n then_o to_o adopt_v and_o then_o to_o take_v a_o other_o it_o will_v be_v account_v exceed_v love_n many_o man_n when_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a son_n desire_v to_o have_v no_o more_o some_o man_n have_v many_o son_n and_o desire_n to_o make_v the_o elder_a great_a the_o elder_a shall_v have_v all_o and_o the_o young_a nothing_o god_n make_v another_o law_n but_o we_o forget_v nature_n and_o law_n too_o this_o by_o the_o way_n but_o if_o parent_n love_v be_v such_o god_n be_v much_o more_o that_o when_o he_o have_v a_o natural_a son_n he_o adopt_v many_o to_o be_v heir_n with_o he_o rom._n 8.17_o jacob_n set_v forth_o this_o love_n to_o joseph_n that_o when_o he_o have_v twelve_o son_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o love_v ephraim_n and_o manasses_n the_o son_n of_o joseph_n he_o will_v adopt_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n but_o see_v here_o be_v great_a love_n in_o god_n when_o he_o have_v but_o one_o son_n he_o be_v content_a to_o adopt_v enemy_n to_o make_v they_o son_n that_o they_o may_v be_v heir_n together_o with_o he_o of_o the_o same_o heavenly_a inheritance_n object_n some_o may_v say_v you_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o god_n love_n to_o other_o that_o you_o lesson_n his_o love_n to_o christ_n sure_o the_o world_n will_v say_v he_o love_v he_o not_o that_o he_o make_v other_o heir_n with_o he_o ans_fw-fr i_o answer_v the_o great_a emperor_n of_o the_o world_n can_v make_v a_o division_n of_o their_o empire_n but_o they_o must_v lessen_v they_o but_o such_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o god_n that_o this_o son_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o less_o for_o division_n for_o as_o saint_n augustin_n speak_v of_o the_o sun_n the_o sun_n say_v he_o god_n have_v so_o create_v that_o it_o may_v enlighten_v many_o man_n and_o so_o every_o man_n have_v abundance_n of_o the_o light_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o the_o sun_n have_v nothing_o the_o less_o itself_o so_o god_n can_v communicate_v his_o celestial_a glory_n and_o heavenly_a kingdom_n to_o all_o his_o son_n he_o can_v make_v they_o all_o king_n and_o son_n and_o heir_n and_o fellow_n heir_n with_o christ_n so_o that_o man_n shall_v have_v enough_o and_o he_o not_o the_o less_o for_o there_o be_v no_o divide_v use_v 3_o again_o this_o teach_v we_o have_v he_o beget_v the_o son_n have_v he_o a_o only_o beget_v son_n we_o remember_v say_v saint_n ambrose_n the_o first_o beget_v because_o there_o be_v none_o

if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o strictness_n of_o justice_n which_o story_n speak_v of_o heathen_a man_n that_o a_o emperor_n when_o his_o son_n have_v offend_v the_o law_n and_o both_o
