to_o consider_v a_o main_a difference_n between_o the_o love_n of_o man_n or_o other_o creature_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n dumb_a creature_n always_o effect_v what_o they_o most_o

their_o brutish_a appetite_n man_n although_o endue_v with_o reason_n and_o natural_a notion_n of_o right_a and_o wrong_n be_v notwithstanding_o oftentimes_o draw_v by_o the_o strength_n or_o inordination_n of_o his_o tender_a affection_n to_o use_v such_o mean_n as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n equity_n and_o religion_n for_o procure_v their_o safety_n or_o impunity_n on_o who_o he_o dote_v howbeit_o among_o man_n we_o may_v find_v some_o which_o can_v be_v wrought_v by_o any_o promise_n or_o persuasion_n to_o use_v those_o unlawful_a course_n for_o the_o impunity_n of_o their_o child_n or_o dear_a friend_n which_o the_o world_n common_o most_o approve_v not_o that_o their_o love_n towards_o their_o child_n friend_n or_o acquaintance_n be_v less_o but_o because_o their_o love_n to_o public_a justice_n to_o truth_n and_o equity_n and_o respect_n to_o their_o own_o integrity_n be_v great_a than_o other_o man_n be_v a_o fit_a instance_n we_o have_v in_o zaleucus_n king_n of_o lovis_n who_o have_v make_v a_o severe_a law_n that_o whosoever_o commit_v such_o a_o offence_n suppofe_n adultery_n shall_v lose_v his_o eye_n it_o short_o after_o

of_o public_a law_n because_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o person_n offend_v can_v be_v draw_v into_o example_n but_o zaleucus_n can_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o dispense_v with_o his_o law_n because_o he_o love_v justice_n no_o less_o dear_o than_o his_o son_n who_o he_o love_v as_o dear_o as_o himself_o and_o to_o manifest_v the_o equality_n of_o his_o love_n to_o all_o three_o he_o cause_v one_o

in_o part_n from_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o punishment_n for_o this_o partiality_n towards_o his_o son_n it_o be_v possible_a no_o doubt_n for_o a_o king_n to_o reclaim_v many_o
