think_v the_o evil_a prosperous_a and_o call_v the_o proud_a happy_a no_o man_n can_v be_v call_v happy_a till_o he_o be_v dead_a nor_o then_o neither_o if_o he_o live_v vicious_o look_v how_o god_n

see_v his_o sin_n punish_v yet_o his_o posterity_n may_v find_v themselves_o accurse_v and_o feel_v their_o father_n sin_n in_o their_o own_o calamity_n and_o the_o expectation_n or_o belief_n of_o

their_o hand_n upon_o their_o mouth_n and_o with_o silence_n do_v admire_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o power_n above_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o be_v that_o in_o send_v evil_n upon_o the_o posterity_n of_o evil_a man_n god_n serve_v many_o end_n of_o providence_n some_o of_o wisdom_n some_o of_o mercy_n some_o of_o justice_n and_o contradict_v none_o for_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o innocent_a son_n

end_n of_o providence_n and_o mercy_n to_o which_o i_o add_v that_o if_o any_o even_o the_o great_a temporal_a evil_a may_v fall_v upon_o a_o man_n as_o blindness_n do_v upon_o the_o blind_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n when_o neither_o he_o nor_o his_o parent_n have_v sin_v much_o more_o may_v it_o do_v so_o when_o his_o parent_n have_v though_o he_o have_v not_o for_o there_o be_v a_o near_o

and_o son_n together_o the_o dispensation_n therefore_o be_v righteous_a and_o severe_a 3._o i_o be_o now_o to_o consider_v in_o what_o degree_n and_o in_o what_o case_n this_o be_v usual_a or_o to_o be_v expect_v it_o be_v in_o the_o text_n instance_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_v image_n god_n be_v so_o jealous_a of_o his_o honour_n that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o image_n of_o

swell_v up_o into_o a_o great_a and_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o jealous_a of_o his_o honour_n and_o therefore_o so_o instance_n it_o be_v also_o very_o curious_a of_o it_o in_o all_o other_o particular_n and_o though_o to_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n be_v more_o solemn_o threaten_v in_o this_o sin_n only_o yet_o we_o find_v it_o inflict_v indifferent_o in_o any_o other_o great_a sin_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o former_a precedent_n this_o one_o thing_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v strict_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v with_o much_o error_n and_o great_a indiligence_n usual_o teach_v in_o this_o question_n that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n descend_v from_o father_n to_o child_n only_o in_o case_n the_o child_n imitate_v and_o write_v after_o their_o father_n copy_n suppose_v these_o word_n in_o they_o that_o hate_v i_o to_o relate_v to_o the_o child_n but_o this_o be_v express_o against_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o thing_n god_n afflict_v good_a child_n of_o evil_a parent_n for_o their_o father_n sin_n and_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a and_o determinate_a god_n visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n in_o tertiam_fw-la &_o quartam_fw-la generationem_fw-la eorum_fw-la qui_fw-la oderunt_fw-la i_o to_o the_o three_o generation_n of_o they_o of_o those_o father_n that_o hate_v i_o that_o be_v upon_o the_o

generation_n though_o the_o child_n be_v hater_n of_o their_o father_n hatred_n and_o lover_n of_o god_n *_o and_o this_o have_v be_v observe_v even_o by_o wise_a man_n among_o the_o heathen_n who_o

in_o vindication_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n but_o i_o observe_v this_o to_o represent_v the_o danger_n of_o a_o sin_v father_n or_o mother_n when_o it_o shall_v so_o infect_v the_o family_n with_o curse_n that_o it_o shall_v ruin_v a_o wise_a and_o a_o innocent_a son_n and_o that_o virtue_n and_o innocence_n which_o shall_v by_o god_n be_v accept_v as_o sufficient_a through_o the_o
