food_n to_o man_n than_o such_o as_o must_v be_v take_v with_o such_o detriment_n to_o those_o live_a part_n of_o thy_o creation_n and_o although_o thy_o wonderful_a goodness_n have_v so_o much_o indulge_v to_o mankind_n as_o to_o give_v up_o the_o live_v of_o these_o creature_n for_o the_o food_n of_o man_n by_o thy_o express_a commission_n yet_o i_o still_o do_v and_o ever_o do_v think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o justice_n due_a from_o man_n even_o to_o these_o sensible_a creature_n that_o he_o shall_v take_v they_o spare_o for_o necessity_n and_o not_o for_o delight_n or_o if_o for_o delight_n yet_o not_o for_o luxury_n i_o have_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o more_o liberal_a use_n of_o creature_n for_o delight_n or_o variety_n it_o shall_v be_v of_o fruit_n or_o such_o other_o delicacy_n as_o may_v be_v have_v without_o the_o loss_n of_o life_n but_o however_o it_o be_v this_o very_a consideration_n have_v make_v i_o very_o spare_v and_o careful_a not_o vain_o or_o superfluous_o or_o unnecessary_o or_o prodigal_o to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o thy_o creature_n for_o feast_v and_o excess_n and_o the_o very_a same_o consideration_n have_v always_o go_v a_o long_a with_o i_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o labour_n of_o thy_o creature_n i_o have_v ever_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a degree_n of_o justice_n due_a from_o man_n to_o the_o creature_n as_o from_o man_n to_o man_n and_o that_o a_o excessive_a immoderate_a unseasonable_a use_n of_o the_o creature_n labour_n be_v a_o injustice_n for_o which_o he_o must_v account_n to_o deny_v domestical_a creature_n their_o convenient_a food_n to_o exact_v that_o labour_n from_o they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v to_o use_v extremity_n or_o cruelty_n towards_o they_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o that_o trust_n under_o which_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v commit_v to_o we_o and_o a_o breach_n of_o that_o justice_n that_o be_v due_a from_o man_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o have_v always_o esteem_v it_o as_o part_v of_o my_o duty_n and_o it_o have_v be_v always_o my_o practice_n to_o be_v merciful_a to_o my_o beast_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n i_o have_v ever_o esteem_v it_o a_o breach_n of_o trust_n and_o have_v according_o decline_v any_o cruelty_n to_o any_o of_o thy_o creature_n and_o as_o much_o as_o i_o may_v prevent_v it_o in_o other_o as_o a_o tyranny_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o trust_n and_o stewardship_n that_o thou_o have_v commit_v to_o i_o i_o have_v abhor_v those_o sport_n that_o consist_v in_o the_o torture_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o if_o either_o noxious_a creature_n must_v be_v destroy_v or_o creature_n for_o food_n must_v be_v take_v it_o have_v be_v my_o practice_n to_o do_v it_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o may_v be_v with_o the_o least_o torture_n or_o cruelty_n to_o the_o creature_n and_o i_o have_v still_o think_v it_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n to_o destroy_v those_o creature_n for_o recreation-sake_n that_o either_o be_v not_o hurtful_a when_o they_o live_v or_o be_v not_o profitable_a when_o they_o be_v kill_v ever_o
