A20768	The yonger brother his apology by it selfe. 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.

brother_n right_o to_o his_o father_n fortune_n chap._n v._o that_o the_o present_a custom_n in_o our_o country_n of_o give_v all_o or_o almost_o all_o to_o the_o elder_a be_v never_o so_o begin_v that_o it_o mean_v to_o exclude_v just_a remedy_n for_o such_o evil_n as_o shall_v grow_v out_o of_o the_o abuse_n of_o that_o custom_n when_o it_o may_v make_v father_n guilty_a of_o their_o son_n fault_n and_o of_o their_o family_n ruin_n i_o have_v of_o purpose_n reserve_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o law_n of_o our_o country_n in_o the_o last_o place_n because_o i_o assure_v myself_o that_o they_o be_v of_o most_o force_n to_o sway_v the_o matter_n in_o question_n for_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v permit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n and_o yet_o they_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v forbid_v or_o practise_v by_o course_n of_o law_n in_o several_a state_n of_o the_o world_n as_o the_o lawmaker_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o country_n do_v allow_v or_o command_z i_o do_v confess_v that_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o our_o time_n among_o parent_n be_v to_o leave_v either_o all_o or_o the_o most_o part_n of_o their_o land_n to_o their_o elder_a beget_v son_n this_o without_o all_o question_n be_v as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v first_o devise_v in_o former_a age_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o a_o family_n and_o to_o raise_v some_o one_o who_o may_v be_v a_o comfort_n to_o his_o brother_n sister_n and_o family_n and_o in_o who_o his_o progenitor_n virtue_n may_v line_v to_o the_o world_n moreover_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o partition_n of_o land_n may_v bring_v in_o the_o end_n a_o goodly_a estate_n to_o nothing_o or_o to_o so_o little_a as_o it_o may_v be_v like_o a_o a_o tomie_n in_o the_o sun_n yet_o i_o find_v in_o natural_a reason_n that_o ex_fw-la nihilo_fw-la nihil_fw-la fit_a or_o at_o least_o that_o haud_fw-la facilè_fw-la emergunt_fw-la quorum_fw-la virtutibus_fw-la obstat_fw-la res_fw-la ang_fw-mi ista_fw-la domi_fw-la but_o if_o man_n do_v fail_v of_o those_o happy_a end_n to_o which_o this_o general_a custom_n shall_v guide_v than_o will_v i_o wish_v that_o they_o will_v not_o use_v that_o for_o their_o destruction_n which_o be_v mean_v for_o their_o preservation_n for_o who_o do_v not_o see_v in_o these_o our_o time_n may_v unbridled_a youth_n to_o be_v so_o violent_o carry_v away_o with_o the_o humour_n of_o spend_v that_o they_o neglect_v brother_n and_o sister_n yea_o bring_v to_o extreme_a misery_n their_o natural_a mother_n after_o their_o father_n death_n by_o their_o unthristine_n what_o help_v for_o this_o have_v law_n leave_v unto_o we_o no_o mean_n to_o put_v a_o bridle_n to_o these_o unruly_a colt_n if_o they_o become_v heir_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o our_o time_n no_o true_o for_o some_o start_a hole_n will_v be_v find_v to_o untie_v the_o knot_n which_o a_o father_n care_n once_o tie_v how_o then_o must_v many_o a_o hopeful_a and_o well-de_a serve_a brother_n and_o sister_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o this_o whirlwind_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n in_o it_o for_o our_o law_n have_v give_v power_n to_o a_o father_n &_o free_a will_n to_o dispose_v of_o his_o own_o according_a as_o reason_n shall_v guide_v his_o will_n without_o all_o obligation_n to_o his_o heir_n beside_o this_o custom_n take_v place_n only_o after_o a_o father_n death_n if_o he_o dispose_v not_o of_o what_o be_v his_o by_o deed_n in_o life_n or_o by_o will_n at_o his_o death_n but_o lest_o my_o word_n be_v more_o general_o take_v than_o they_o be_v mean_v i_o mean_v those_o father_n who_o be_v possess_v of_o their_o land_n in_o fee_n or_o fee-tail_n that_o be_v be_v absolute_a of_o themselves_o and_o have_v not_o upon_o good_a consideration_n convey_v their_o land_n from_o themselves_o for_o all_o our_o lawyer_n do_v agree_v that_o such_o parent_n may_v alien_a sell_v and_o give_v by_o power_n of_o our_o law_n their_o land_n to_o who_o they_o will_v without_o respect_n of_o person_n or_o eldership_n but_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v one_o say_v that_o the_o custom_n be_v otherwise_o and_o that_o this_o custom_n be_v a_o law_n true_a it_o be_v the_o custom_n but_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o it_o bind_v sub_fw-la peccato_fw-la or_o as_o a_o custom_n which_o rather_o invite_v than_o command_v there_o never_o be_v any_o command_z to_o tie_v a_o father_n under_o a_o penalty_n which_o admit_v no_o limitation_n but_o it_o be_v ever_o leave_v indifferent_a and_o then_o only_o to_o take_v place_n where_o former_a provision_n according_a to_o course_n of_o law_n be_v not_o make_v the_o sure_o a_o parent_n be_v free_a from_o this_o devour_a custom_n and_o may_v in_o good_a consideration_n prevent_v what_o evil_a it_o may_v bring_v to_o his_o posterity_n yea_o reason_n command_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o interest_n reipublicae_fw-la ut_fw-la quilibet_fw-la re_fw-la sva_fw-la bene_fw-la utatur_fw-la as_o say_v the_o civil_a law_n for_o if_o a_o man_n can_v neigh_v there_o sell_v nor_o set_v much_o less_o can_v he_o give_v any_o thing_n to_o another_o which_o he_o think_v in_o his_o conscience_n will_v use_v it_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n the_o ruin_n of_o himself_o or_o other_o some_o divines_n hold_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o sell_v or_o let_v a_o house_n to_o any_o that_o he_o think_v assure_o will_v make_v thereof_o a_o stew_n or_o to_o sell_v give_v or_o lend_v a_o weapon_n to_o a_o man_n who_o intend_v therewith_o to_o do_v murder_n excommunication_n be_v impose_v on_o they_o who_o sell_v arm_n offensive_a or_o defensive_a to_o turk_n though_o they_o be_v not_o assure_v that_o they_o will_v use_v they_o against_o christian_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o rule_n of_o conscience_n not_o only_o to_o command_v a_o man_n to_o use_v well_o those_o fortune_n which_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o but_o forbid_v he_o either_o upon_o affection_n or_o gain_v to_o part_v with_o they_o to_o other_o who_o will_v abuse_v they_o lest_o he_o be_v partaker_n of_o other_o sin_n which_o a_o parent_n may_v be_v after_o death_n who_o leave_v his_o land_n to_o a_o desperate_a unthrift_n but_o what_o religion_n and_o conscience_n do_v command_v shall_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o follow_a chapter_n in_o which_o upon_o ground_n draw_v out_o of_o these_o former_a four_o chapter_n it_o shall_v
