a_o strong_a obligation_n to_o the_o contrary_n and_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o who_o either_o by_o his_o own_o voluntary_a act_n have_v bind_v

it_o with_o the_o perfect_a evangelical_n law_n of_o charity_n and_o mercy_n first_o civil_a and_o political_a justice_n require_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v obey_v the_o wholesome_a law_n of_o

the_o father_n and_o compel_v he_o to_o maintain_v they_o out_o of_o his_o estate_n which_o order_n he_o ought_v to_o obey_v nor_o can_v refuse_v so_o to_o do_v without_o the_o high_a contempt_n of_o

in_o that_o case_n therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o vow_n bind_v not_o 9_o but_o say_v that_o shall_v not_o happen_v to_o be_v the_o case_n which_o yet_o be_v more_o than_o any_o man_n can_v positive_o say_v beforehand_o the_o parent_n be_v nevertheless_o in_o moral_a justice_n bind_v to_o provide_v due_a maintenance_n for_o his_o child_n and_o grandchild_n if_o he_o be_v able_a saint_n
