Or A fathers free power disputed for the disposition of his lands, or other his fortunes to his sonne, sonnes, or any one of them: as right reason, the laws of God and nature, the ciuill, canon, and municipall lawes of this kingdome do command.

the_o society_n peace_n and_o honour_n of_o mankind_n which_o god_n and_o nature_n ever_o as_o the_o reward_n to_o all_o moral_a virtue_n and_o as_o the_o chief_a end_n of_o man_n life_n intend_v for_o otherwise_o usury_n detraction_n forgery_n adultery_n fornication_n swear_v and_o drunkenness_n all_o which_o and_o many_o more_o which_o be_v as_o grievous_a offence_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o
