i_o hope_v convince_o the_o indispensableness_n of_o restitution_n from_o injurious_a offender_n in_o general_a i_o come_v now_o to_o represent_v the_o extent_n of_o the_o concernment_n of_o it_o and_o that_o as_o to_o person_n and_o thing_n with_o the_o measure_n or_o degree_n of_o restitution_n that_o aught_o to_o be_v make_v first_o as_o to_z person_n where_o the_o question_n be_v how_o

obligation_n of_o restitution_n it_o lay_v upon_o they_o

to_o which_o i_o thus_o answer_v that_o that_o declaration_n almighty_n god_n make_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n that_o he_o will_v visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n be_v very_o general_a because_o it_o be_v to_o the_o child_n of_o all_o they_o that_o hate_v he_o that_o be_v not_o only_o to_o the_o child_n of_o they_o that_o worship_n the_o host_n of_o heaven_n as_o some_o of_o the_o gentile_n do_v or_o any_o thing_n upon_o earth_n or_o the_o water_n under_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o image_n of_o any_o of_o they_o but_o such_o as_o prefer_v any_o thing_n before_o he_o that_o preference_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v count_v a_o hatred_n of_o he_o because_o it_o suppose_v a_o incompetency_n of_o love_n to_o he_o and_o if_o so_o sure_a to_o they_o that_o gratify_v their_o lust_n or_o covetousness_n their_o pride_n and_o ambition_n or_o any_o sin_n proceed_v from_o they_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o whatsoever_o contrary_a to_o god_n clear_a command_n i_o say_v this_o declaration_n which_o god_n there_o make_v so_o general_a be_v never_o absolute_o repeal_v in_o ezekiel_n indeed_o we_o find_v that_o to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o have_v take_v upon_o the_o execution_n likely_a of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o law_n up_o a_o proverb_n that_o the_o father_n have_v eat_v sour_a grape_n and_o that_o the_o child_n tooth_n be_v set_v on_o edge_n god_n promise_v something_o that_o look_v like_o the_o contrary_a the_o reason_n and_o import_n whereof_o yet_o may_v probable_o be_v this_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o that_o age_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v so_o great_a and_o provoke_a that_o when_o god_n avenge_v they_o to_o the_o full_a upon_o recollection_n and_o just_a examination_n of_o themselves_o they_o may_v find_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o need_n from_o the_o heap_n of_o their_o father_n trespass_n to_o take_v in_o any_o to_o aggravate_v their_o sin_n and_o so_o bring_v down_o a_o great_a proportion_n of_o judgement_n but_o that_o their_o own_o every_o man_n be_v single_o or_o the_o present_a community_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o provoke_v more_o judgement_n than_o they_o see_v execute_v upon_o they_o or_o else_o that_o their_o provocation_n have_v be_v and_o be_v so_o great_a that_o whereas_o god_n former_o have_v in_o some_o case_n suspend_v the_o execution_n of_o a_o vengeance_n due_a upon_o the_o father_n trespass_n to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o posterity_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o ahab_n that_o he_o will_v not_o then_o show_v so_o much_o mercy_n but_o punish_v as_o fast_o as_o they_o offend_v but_o whether_o for_o such_o or_o some_o other_o reason_n he_o do_v to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n for_o some_o season_n determine_v it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o yet_o that_o he_o do_v final_o and_o universal_o that_o be_v that_o he_o do_v for_o ever_o resolve_v and_o to_o all_o people_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o do_v no_o way_n and_o no_o where_n appear_v but_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o observation_n of_o all_o age_n so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o whatever_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n be_v his_o child_n have_v no_o warrant_n from_o holy_a scripture_n other_o than_o the_o first_o sinner_n have_v that_o they_o will_v escape_v the_o punishment_n that_o be_v have_v no_o other_o warrant_n no_o condition_n than_o repentance_n and_o that_o a_o true_a sincere_a one_o attend_v with_o all_o the_o genuine_a fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o it_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n god_n truth_n that_o can_v never_o fail_v to_o assure_v they_o they_o may_v be_v avenge_v upon_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n and_o for_o the_o manner_n to_o inquire_v since_o god_n have_v make_v no_o discovery_n will_v be_v a_o sinful_a and_o useless_a curiosity_n when_o he_o say_v he_o will_v do_v a_o thing_n we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o he_o will_v find_v a_o way_n to_o do_v it_o but_o whatever_o mitigation_n the_o child_n of_o other_o sinner_n may_v have_v of_o this_o menace_n sure_o he_o that_o come_v into_o the_o unjust_a possession_n of_o his_o father_n as_o such_o will_v have_v none_o for_o look_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v in_o his_o
