the_o account_n of_o reason_n to_o will_v the_o end_n and_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o evil_a in_o a_o great_a degree_n and_o so_o we_o be_v say_v to_o will_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n in_o scripture_n not_o that_o we_o will_v they_o proper_o but_o that_o we_o do_v those_o thing_n from_o whence_o the_o other_o natural_o and_o necessary_o follow_v so_o god_n expostulate_v in_o ezek._n 18._o 31._o and_o 33._o 11._o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o house_n of_o israel_n not_o that_o the_o israelite_n will_v or_o desire_v to_o die_v for_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n incredible_a if_o not_o impossible_a in_o the_o hard_a sense_n of_o that_o word_n but_o that_o they_o will_v such_o thing_n as_o will_v unavoidable_o bring_v that_o death_n and_o most_o inevitable_o ruin_v they_o so_o in_o psal_n 106._o 24._o yea_o they_o despise_v that_o pleasant_a land_n not_o that_o they_o despise_v or_o reject_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n it_o self_n but_o reject_v the_o only_a mean_n god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bring_v they_o thither_o which_o be_v faith_n and_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o patience_n and_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n they_o be_v say_v to_o despise_v the_o land_n itself_o so_o in_o pro._n 17._o 19_o he_o that_o exalt_v his_o gate_n seek_v destruction_n i._n e._n he_o that_o live_v above_o his_o fortune_n and_o condition_n or_o that_o open_v wide_o the_o flood_n gate_n to_o iniquity_n seek_v destruction_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v find_v destruction_n he_o be_v as_o one_o that_o seek_v and_o make_v inquiry_n after_o it_o and_o he_o shall_v sure_o find_v it_o so_o that_o man_n be_v not_o charge_v with_o the_o mischief_n only_o they_o intend_v direct_o but_o with_o such_o also_o as_o be_v like_a to_o follow_v whether_o they_o intend_v they_o or_o not_o nay_o though_o they_o shall_v intend_v the_o contrary_n he_o who_o take_v the_o natural_a and_o ready_a mean_n to_o any_o end_n be_v strong_o guilty_a of_o the_o evil_a consequence_n although_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o not_o design_n that_o end_v and_o consequence_n but_o hope_v and_o wish_v it_o may_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o neither_o hope_n nor_o wish_n nor_o design_n can_v hinder_v natural_a or_o moral_a cause_n from_o produce_v natural_a and_o moral_a effect_n but_o neither_o be_v it_o only_o so_o in_o act_v but_o in_o permit_v also_o he_o be_v say_v upon_o the_o same_o account_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o evil_n that_o ensue_v who_o duty_n it_o be_v and_o in_o who_o power_n it_o be_v to_o have_v prevent_v they_o but_o do_v not_o it_o be_v cruel_a and_o unjust_a to_o charge_v a_o man_n with_o all_o the_o evil_n he_o shall_v by_o duty_n prevent_v but_o can_v not_o for_o want_v of_o power_n and_o it_o be_v not_o always_o reasonable_a to_o charge_v a_o man_n with_o the_o eviis_fw-la he_o can_v by_o his_o power_n have_v prevent_v but_o do_v not_o because_o he_o be_v not_o oblige_v in_o duty_n because_o the_o signification_n of_o power_n in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o convenience_n of_o time_n and_o place_n and_o person_n and_o a_o great_a many_o other_o circumstance_n of_o which_o a_o man_n be_v only_o able_a to_o judge_v himself_o but_o where_o power_n and_o duty_n meet_v together_o there_o the_o obligation_n be_v unquestionable_a and_o the_o neglect_v of_o do_v what_o we_o shall_v and_o conld_n be_v inexcusable_a the_o application_n of_o these_o rule_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n be_v i_o think_v as_o evident_a as_o the_o reason_n of_o those_o rule_n it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o god_n determination_n in_o scripture_n that_o a_o parent_n be_v oblige_v to_o educate_v his_o child_n in_o the_o best_a and_o most_o religious_a manner_n possible_a to_o instruct_v they_o in_o all_o that_o be_v good_a and_o warn_v they_o of_o all_o that_o be_v evil_a and_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a from_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n the_o perverseness_n of_o our_o will_n and_o from_o lamentable_a experience_n that_o unless_o this_o care_n be_v take_v child_n will_v unavoidable_o be_v ruin_v and_o therefore_o he_o who_o neglect_v this_o education_n which_o he_o may_v and_o shall_v look_v after_o be_v proper_o enough_o say_v to_o undo_v his_o child_n and_o as_o he_o who_o shall_v design_o ruin_v his_o own_o child_n will_v deserve_o be_v say_v to_o hate_v they_o so_o may_v he_o also_o who_o neglect_v their_o education_n if_o such_o neglect_v be_v the_o natural_a and_o ready_a way_n to_o ruin_n though_o he_o do_v design_n that_o ruin_n and_o though_o that_o neglect_v do_v not_o proceed_v from_o hatred_n yet_o he_o be_v say_v and_o proper_o enough_o both_o to_o undo_v and_o hate_v they_o now_o the_o evil_n that_o proceed_v from_o a_o careless_a or_o from_o bad_a education_n from_o want_n of_o good_a instruction_n of_o reproof_n restraint_n or_o of_o due_a chastisement_n in_o any_o kind_a be_v infinite_a and_o pernicious_a they_o be_v numberless_a and_o they_o be_v intolerable_a i_o believe_v it_o be_v hard_a to_o reckon_v up_o any_o considerable_a calamity_n that_o have_v befall_v a_o kingdom_n city_n family_n or_o private_a person_n but_o may_v be_v just_o charge_v upon_o this_o head_n in_o some_o measure_n the_o reason_v of_o plato_n be_v both_o just_a and_o excellent_a upon_o the_o education_n of_o cyrus_n and_o his_o son_n cambyses_n darius_n and_o his_o son_n xerxes_n and_o the_o follow_a king_n of_o persia_n and_o show_v the_o exact_a and_o perfect_a correspondence_n betwixt_o the_o way_n of_o bring_v up_o those_o prince_n and_o the_o quality_n and_o fortune_n of_o their_o government_n and_o kingdom_n whilst_o they_o live_v cyrus_n have_v be_v bring_v up_o still_o in_o painful_a and_o laborious_a exercise_n and_o in_o a_o handsome_a kind_n of_o equality_n of_o almost_o all_o thing_n betwixt_o himself_o and_o his_o companion_n his_o reign_n be_v full_a of_o glory_n and_o success_n and_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o laudable_a but_o whilst_o himself_o be_v reap_v palm_n and_o crown_n of_o victory_n he_o leave_v the_o education_n of_o his_o son_n to_o the_o lady_n who_o bring_v he_o up_o in_o the_o luxurious_a softness_n of_o the_o mede_n where_o no_o body_n dare_v speak_v a_o word_n of_o truth_n or_o honesty_n for_o fear_v of_o wound_v his_o ear_n which_o be_v use_v to_o nothing_o but_o to_o compliment_n and_o flattery_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o the_o reign_n and_o government_n of_o this_o soft_a prince_n be_v full_a as_o infamous_a and_o unfortunate_a both_o to_o himself_o and_o people_n as_o that_o of_o his_o brave_a father_n have_v be_v glorious_a wise_a and_o happy_a unto_o both_o darius_n hystaspes_n afterward_o ascend_v the_o throne_n and_o as_o his_o education_n have_v not_o be_v in_o the_o delight_n of_o a_o court_n but_o hard_o and_o rough_a in_o labour_n and_o fatigue_n so_o his_o reign_n resemble_v in_o a_o manner_n that_o of_o cyrus_n both_o for_o glory_n and_o for_o conquest_n but_o whilst_o he_o and_o his_o compeer_n be_v spread_v every_o where_o the_o persian_a honour_n by_o their_o gallantry_n and_o brave_a achievement_n xerxes_n his_o son_n be_v leave_v in_o woman_n hand_n and_o from_o they_o have_v just_o such_o another_o education_n as_o cambyses_n have_v and_o reign_v according_o leaving_z wherever_o he_o come_v the_o shameful_a mark_n of_o a_o prodigious_a power_n put_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o ambitious_a madman_n darius_n be_v indeed_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o to_o blame_v than_o cyrus_n because_o he_o avail_v not_o himself_o of_o so_o notorious_a a_o example_n of_o miscarriage_n nor_o procure_v a_o better_a education_n for_o his_o son_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o only_o use_v that_o we_o may_v make_v of_o these_o great_a instance_n one_o can_v choose_v but_o see_v and_o lament_v too_o that_o the_o fate_n and_o fortune_n of_o great_a empire_n the_o welfare_n and_o the_o ruin_n of_o so_o many_o hundred_o thousand_o shall_v depend_v upon_o the_o care_n and_o the_o neglect_v of_o a_o parent_n upon_o the_o improvement_n or_o the_o

the_o good_a or_o evil_a education_n of_o child_n do_v not_o only_o affect_v themselves_o but_o all_o the_o stock_n and_o kindred_n more_o or_o less_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o body_n so_o
