he_o have_v none_o to_o reign_v over_o or_o assist_v he_o this_o i_o grant_v be_v unnatural_a and_o unreasonable_a in_o itself_o but_o not_o unreasonable_a to_o think_v for_o the_o world_n too_o often_o find_v that_o the_o passion_n and_o lust_n and_o interest_n of_o man_n make_v they_o do_v thing_n unreasonable_a and_o unnatural_a and_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o how_o far_o the_o hatred_n person_n have_v to_o the_o true_a religion_n may_v transport_v they_o when_o the_o father_n shall_v betray_v and_o deliver_v their_o child_n to_o death_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o on_o the_o part_n of_o a_o natural_a it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o suppose_v on_o the_o part_n of_o a_o political_a parent_n that_o he_o say_v be_v unreasonable_a to_o suppose_v because_o a_o king_n by_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o subject_n leave_v himself_o none_o to_o reign_v over_o or_o assist_v he_o but_o whoever_o be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o mean_v this_o when_o he_o put_v the_o case_n of_o a_o prince_n destroy_v his_o nation_n for_o than_o he_o must_v come_v to_o do_v it_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o his_o nation_n must_v in_o caligula_n way_n have_v little_a more_o than_o one_o neck_n to_o serve_v his_o barbarity_n but_o they_o thereby_o mean_v his_o design_n to_o destroy_v the_o government_n and_o to_o destroy_v those_o that_o will_v not_o comply_v with_o or_o oppose_v such_o a_o design_n he_o choose_v rather_o to_o have_v no_o subject_n than_o what_o shall_v not_o be_v his_o slave_n or_o in_o the_o modish_a way_n of_o a_o neighbour_a prince_n that_o will_v not_o be_v of_o the_o same_o religion_n with_o himself_o 2._o he_o say_v the_o author_n shall_v have_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o child_n in_o such_o a_o case_n may_v have_v take_v away_o all_o the_o father_n subsistence_n and_o do_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o starve_v he_o or_o cut_v his_o throat_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o this_o have_v be_v a_o excellent_a comment_n on_o the_o five_o commandment_n but_o why_o shall_v that_o author_n be_v oblige_v thus_o to_o have_v tell_v we_o for_o suppose_v the_o father_n will_v alienate_v the_o estate_n from_o his_o child_n which_o be_v entail_v upon_o they_o and_o design_n to_o adopt_v a_o stranger_n into_o that_o relation_n and_o substitute_v he_o in_o their_o place_n suppose_v again_o that_o a_o father_n have_v several_a tenant_n that_o hold_v of_o he_o by_o ancient_a tenor_n and_o by_o which_o tenor_n and_o perform_v the_o condition_n belong_v to_o they_o their_o land_n be_v as_o much_o their_o propriety_n as_o the_o land_n of_o inheritance_n be_v their_o lord_n and_o that_o he_o notwithstanding_o seek_v to_o destroy_v their_o tenor_n because_o they_o oppose_v he_o in_o his_o design_n against_o his_o child_n or_o in_o that_o absolute_a power_n over_o they_o which_o he_o aim_v at_o suppose_v again_o that_o rather_o than_o not_o compass_v his_o design_n he_o seek_v the_o destruction_n of_o his_o child_n and_o of_o the_o tenant_n that_o adhere_v to_o they_o for_o their_o own_o mutual_a preservation_n and_o security_n be_v there_o no_o mean_a to_o be_v find_v but_o either_o to_o let_v the_o father_n out_o and_o

cut_v the_o throat_n of_o his_o child_n or_o that_o the_o child_n must_v cut_v the_o throat_n of_o their_o father_n and_o may_v not_o a_o son_n withdraw_v from_o his_o parent_n immediate_a care_n as_o the_o discourse_n say_v and_o forsake_v his_o house_n when_o he_o can_v stay_v there_o but_o upon_o the_o hard_a term_n of_o be_v destroy_v or_o of_o resign_v up_o the_o title_n of_o his_o inheritance_n to_o a_o supposititious_a heir_n or_o may_v not_o the_o son_n take_v possession_n of_o his_o father_n house_n and_o the_o estate_n of_o inheritance_n which_o the_o father_n abandon_v rather_o than_o he_o will_v oblige_v himself_o to_o continue_v the_o estate_n in_o his_o family_n and_o suffer_v the_o tenant_n to_o hold_v their_o land_n by_o any_o other_o tenure_n than_o that_o of_o during_o pleasure_n may_v he_o not_o i_o say_v then_o enter_v upon_o the_o estate_n rather_o than_o suffer_v the_o house_n to_o fall_v and_o the_o land_n to_o be_v waste_v and_o the_o tenant_n
