man_n say_v he_o that_o have_v his_o quiver_n full_a of_o they_o that_o have_v many_o such_o arrow_n such_o be_v child_n of_o the_o youth_n verse_n 4._o there_o be_v some_o rich_a and_o covetous_a

his_o son_n outnumber_n his_o daughter_n he_o have_v 7._o son_n and_o but_o three_o daughter_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o most_o son_n among_o child_n be_v the_o great_a blessing_n be_v clear_a because_o son_n bear_v up_o the_o name_n and_o be_v a_o great_a support_n unto_o the_o family_n 5._o to_o have_v many_o son_n and_o daughter_n too_o be_v yet_o a_o complete_a blessing_n for_o by_o

of_o that_o natural_a blessing_n because_o man_n be_v so_o make_v at_o the_o first_o he_o be_v make_v male_a and_o female_a as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n though_o the_o soul_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o body_n yet_o the_o soul_n alone_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a as_o when_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v together_o because_o though_o the_o body_n be_v not_o so_o strong_a in_o constitution_n and_o noble_a in_o condition_n as_o the_o soul_n yet_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o creation_n be_v join_v together_o therefore_o their_o great_a perfection_n consist_v in_o their_o union_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v in_o a_o family_n though_o son_n in_o nature_n be_v more_o perfect_a yet_o because_o it_o be_v the_o first_o institution_n of_o a_o family_n male_a and_o
