A62129 A gentleman's religion in three parts : the 1st contains the principles of natural religion, the 2d. and 3d. the doctrins of Christianity both as to faith and practice : with an appendix wherein it is proved that nothing contrary to our reason can possibly be the object of our belief, but that it is no just exception against some of the doctrins of Christianity that they are above our reason.

marriage_n as_o be_v by_o wise_a man_n common_o repute_v to_o be_v incestuous_a and_o unlawful_a 39_o since_o the_o relation_n of_o husband_n and_o wife_n be_v whole_o owe_v to_o the_o mutual_a compact_n and_o agreement_n which_o be_v make_v between_o they_o at_o their_o marriage_n the_o duty_n which_o result_n from_o that_o relation_n can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o faithful_a keep_n and_o observe_v of_o that_o same_o compact_a and_o agreement_n the_o condition_n of_o which_o may_v be_v more_o or_o few_o according_a as_o the_o party_n shall_v think_v convenient_a but_o these_o be_v always_o necessary_a and_o must_v never_o be_v want_v viz._n that_o the_o husband_n and_o wife_n must_v sincere_o love_v each_o other_o must_v be_v strict_o faithful_a to_o each_o other_o bed_n without_o which_o mutual_a love_n can_v never_o be_v preserve_v entire_a and_o christianity_n express_o add_v what_o reason_n perhaps_o do_v also_o obscure_o suggest_v that_o the_o wife_n must_v be_v subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o her_o husband_n 40._o when_o child_n be_v beget_v and_o bring_v forth_o into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a nor_o agreeable_a to_o god_n design_n that_o they_o shall_v perish_v and_o die_v for_o want_v of_o care_n to_o be_v take_v of_o they_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o person_n upon_o who_o a_o great_a obligation_n can_v lie_v to_o bring_v up_o child_n than_o upon_o those_o who_o beget_v they_o and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o be_v and_o since_o god_n intend_v not_o the_o misery_n and_o affliction_n but_o general_o the_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o mankind_n upon_o earth_n as_o well_o as_o their_o happiness_n hereafter_o in_o heaven_n i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v ever_o the_o duty_n of_o parent_n to_o take_v the_o best_a care_n they_o can_v to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n and_o to_o promote_v their_o true_a happiness_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v for_o which_o reason_n we_o must_v needs_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v vest_v with_o a_o lawful_a power_n of_o govern_v and_o chastise_v they_o as_o far_o as_o be_v necessary_a to_o keep_v they_o in_o good_a and_o regular_a order_n 41._o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n since_o child_n be_v behold_v to_o their_o parent_n even_o for_o their_o very_a be_v whereby_o they_o be_v capacitate_v not_o only_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o this_o life_n but_o also_o for_o eternal_a happiness_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v it_o be_v high_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v love_v their_o parent_n with_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n of_o affection_n and_o shall_v always_o be_v ready_a to_o make_v they_o the_o best_a return_n of_o duty_n and_o service_n that_o they_o can_v and_o according_a as_o parent_n have_v be_v careful_a in_o bring_v up_o and_o make_v provision_n for_o their_o child_n so_o the_o child_n love_n and_o affection_n ought_v still_o more_o and_o more_o to_o be_v return_v and_o express_v towards_o they_o 42._o where_o parent_n by_o death_n or_o otherwise_o be_v render_v uncapable_a of_o nourish_v and_o breed_v up_o a_o child_n or_o where_o they_o utter_o forsake_v and_o expose_v he_o to_o the_o wide_a world_n before_o he_o be_v able_a to_o provide_v for_o or_o take_v care_n of_o himself_o if_o another_o person_n take_v he_o and_o maintain_v and_o put_v he_o in_o a_o way_n of_o live_v such_o a_o child_n be_v in_o all_o reason_n oblige_v to_o pay_v a_o proportionable_a share_n of_o filial_a love_n and_o duty_n to_o he_o who_o have_v perform_v the_o part_n of_o a_o parent_n to_o he_o 43._o it_o be_v not_o pretend_v that_o ever_o any_o person_n or_o family_n by_o name_n be_v ever_o by_o god_n particular_a and_o reveal_v appointment_n invest_v with_o the_o power_n of_o govern_v over_o such_o or_o such_o a_o certain_a people_n except_v only_o the_o case_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n i_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o however_o the_o magistracy_n which_o be_v lawful_o establish_v throughout_o the_o world_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o by_o immediate_a revelation_n from_o heaven_n 44._o whether_o a_o parent_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n have_v the_o power_n of_o a_o supreme_a magistrate_n over_o his_o own_o child_n be_v not_o necessary_a here_o to_o inquire_v but_o i_o see_v no_o ground_n in_o reason_n or_o nature_n to_o judge_v that_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o any_o kinder_v successive_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o power_n over_o his_o brother_n and_o sister_n who_o be_v no_o way_n behold_v to_o he_o for_o their_o be_v nor_o it_o may_v be_v for_o their_o well-being_n and_o much_o less_o over_o his_o father_n brother_n and_o sister_n as_o the_o common_a parent_n of_o a_o whole_a family_n may_v have_v over_o all_o that_o spring_n from_o he_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o lawful_a magistracy_n be_v not_o to_o be_v derive_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n from_o the_o alone_a right_n of_o primogeniture_n nor_o do_v we_o ever_o meet_v with_o any_o prince_n in_o history_n who_o derive_v his_o authority_n from_o this_o only_a fountain_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o true_a right_n and_o title_n of_o magistracy_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o the_o world_n ought_v to_o be_v but_o one_o monarchy_n and_o adam_n heir_n male_a the_o emperor_n thereof_o and_o all_o the_o king_n and_o emperor_n that_o ever_o be_v who_o title_n be_v original_o bottom_v upon_o another_o foundation_n be_v no_o better_a than_o mere_a usurper_n 45._o where_o one_o man_n conquer_v another_o that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o force_n of_o arm_n or_o by_o stratagem_n get_v he_o so_o into_o his_o power_n as_o that_o he_o can_v destroy_v or_o kill_v he_o at_o his_o pleasure_n the_o conquer_a person_n indeed_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v all_o that_o honest_o he_o can_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o own_o life_n aught_o on_o that_o account_n to_o use_v his_o best_a endeavour_n by_o a_o obsequious_a demeanour_n to_o assuage_v and_o pacify_v the_o fury_n of_o the_o conqueror_n but_o far_o than_o he_o find_v necessary_a to_o his_o own_o preservation_n he_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o obey_v the_o conqueror_n except_o he_o bind_v himself_o thereto_o by_o some_o act_n of_o his_o own_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n which_o lay_v any_o far_a obligation_n on_o he_o in_o that_o case_n but_o only_o to_o preserve_v himself_o without_o do_v wrong_n to_o another_o since_o then_o all_o the_o world_n do_v allow_v that_o a_o subject_a be_v bind_v to_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n who_o be_v lawful_o set_v over_o he_o even_o in_o those_o case_n where_o no_o danger_n in_o this_o world_n will_v attend_v his_o disobedience_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n express_v it_o not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o conquest_n alone_o without_o any_o compact_a or_o agreement_n do_v not_o establish_v the_o conqueror_n a_o lawful_a magistrate_n over_o the_o conquer_a people_n for_o if_o it_o do_v there_o can_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o liege_n subject_a and_o a_o prisoner_n of_o war._n 46._o if_o any_o man_n unjusl_o invade_v the_o property_n or_o attempt_v the_o life_n of_o another_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o who_o the_o wrong_n be_v offer_v to_o defend_v himself_o the_o best_a he_o can_v and_o if_o he_o have_v no_o other_o way_n of_o secure_v himself_o nor_o can_v prevail_v with_o his_o enemy_n to_o desist_v from_o his_o evil_a design_n the_o necessity_n of_o preserve_v himself_o from_o death_n or_o which_o may_v be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_o from_o ruin_n will_v certain_o justify_v the_o kill_v of_o he_o for_o otherwise_o the_o life_n and_o fortune_n of_o all_o honest_a man_n must_v for_o ever_o
