ungracious_a imp_n yet_o he_o be_v my_o child_n my_o child_n say_v david_n i_o can_v but_o love_v he_o and_o indeed_o he_o overlove_v he_o which_o i_o do_v not_o commend_v but_o only_o observe_v to_o note_v the_o strength_n of_o parent_n love_v if_o it_o be_v natural_a a_o love_n indeed_o as_o strong_a as_o death_n 8._o as_o hot_a as_o fire_n like_o that_o which_o solomon_n speak_v of_o in_o another_o case_n which_o can_v be_v put_v out_o with_o water_n nor_o buy_v out_o with_o silver_n and_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o when_o parent_n be_v religious_a since_o god_n and_o nature_n both_o command_v grace_n and_o nature_n both_o enforce_v love_n though_o not_o fondness_n you_o that_o be_v parent_n save_o i_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n and_o do_v but_o hear_v why_o i_o note_v it_o first_o do_v kind_a and_o godly_a parent_n so_o love_v their_o child_n 1._o that_o you_o may_v soon_o find_v too_o much_o carnal_a then_o too_o little_a natural_a affection_n in_o they_o then_o shall_v they_o never_o make_v it_o good_a to_o their_o own_o or_o other_o soul_n that_o there_o be_v any_o goodness_n in_o they_o who_o bear_v no_o affection_n to_o their_o own_o child_n those_o parent_n that_o have_v no_o natural_a affection_n can_v they_o be_v spiritual_o affect_v do_v that_o spirit_n which_o make_v we_o love_v to_o all_o lodge_v in_o the_o unnatural_a breast_n can_v they_o love_v god_n child_n that_o bear_v no_o love_n to_o their_o own_o bowel_n can_v they_o love_v their_o enemy_n can_v they_o call_v god_n father_n that_o be_v tyrant_n to_o their_o own_o child_n their_o own_o flesh_n no_o no_o it_o argue_v gross_a sin_n and_o a_o fierce_a conscience_n when_o man_n be_v so_o fierce_a and_o violent_a against_o mankind_n i_o may_v say_v i_o must_v say_v themselves_o what_o parent_n not_o to_o feel_v their_o child_n when_o they_o cry_v father_n not_o to_o find_v their_o bowel_n move_v when_o they_o think_v of_o a_o child_n what_o not_o of_o a_o religious_a child_n why_o then_o blush_v you_o dragon_n and_o be_v you_o ashamed_a o_o bear_n and_o tiger_n that_o your_o lord_n shall_v be_v so_o beastlike_a say_v i_o nay_o so_o devilish_a for_o what_o creature_n but_o devil_n hate_v their_o seed_n nay_o can_v devil_n have_v natural_a seed_n will_v they_o hate_v their_o own_o trow_v you_o but_o why_o spend_v we_o word_n on_o they_o who_o have_v the_o curse_n under_o seal_n as_o paul_n show_v rom._n 1.5_o second_o here_o be_v somewhat_o for_o child_n also_o be_v the_o affection_n of_o godly_a parent_n such_o that_o they_o can_v choose_v but_o love_v their_o child_n and_o out_o of_o their_o love_n grieve_v at_o their_o unkindness_n weep_v for_o their_o impiety_n mourn_v for_o their_o sorrow_n and_o take_v to_o heart_n their_o folly_n why_o then_o the_o child_n of_o such_o parent_n must_v take_v to_o heart_n their_o former_a stubbornness_n and_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v forbear_v those_o practice_n that_o may_v be_v matter_n of_o grief_n to_o their_o parent_n how_o can_v thou_o refresh_v thyself_o with_o that_o which_o be_v a_o sword_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o thy_o dear_a friend_n how_o can_v thou_o think_v to_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n when_o thou_o will_v feed_v upon_o the_o blood_n of_o thy_o own_o parent_n and_o make_v they_o as_o weary_v of_o the_o light_n as_o david_n now_o be_v be_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o already_o they_o have_v care_v and_o sigh_v and_o groan_v and_o weep_v for_o thou_o but_o still_o thou_o will_v kill_v their_o soul_n with_o grief_n what_o if_o thou_o can_v shake_v it_o off_o can_v a_o father_n shake_v out_o his_o heart_n do_v their_o love_n nothing_o move_v thou_o nor_o their_o care_n northeir_o pain_n nor_o their_o tear_n nothing_o o_o that_o absalon_n have_v see_v or_o hear_v his_o father_n complaint_n he_o think_v that_o now_o because_o he_o love_v not_o his_o father_n his_o father_n can_v not_o love_v he_o but_o that_o be_v thy_o error_n curse_a viper_n the_o father_n love_v when_o the_o child_n hate_v and_o then_o can_v david_n say_v most_o feel_o verse_n handle_v the_o young_a man_n absalon_n well_o when_o absalon_n can_v say_v if_o shame_n do_v not_o stop_v his_o mouth_n handle_v the_o old_a carl_n david_n rough_o at_o my_o request_n yea_o then_o can_v david_n die_v for_o absalon_n when_o absalon_n have_v as_o lose_v die_v as_o see_v david_n live_v have_v absalon_n know_v this_o will_v not_o he_o think_v you_o have_v relent_v will_v not_o his_o rocky_a heart_n have_v yield_v what_o can_v he_o have_v say_v if_o david_n have_v say_v but_o this_o unto_o he_o o_o absalon_n o_o absalon_n do_v i_o call_v thou_o absalon_n for_o this_o be_v this_o to_o be_v a_o child_n do_v thou_o also_o think_v my_o grief_n too_o few_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o be_v cross_v in_o my_o familiar_n in_o my_o father_n in_o law_n in_o my_o own_o brethren_n in_o my_o wife_n but_o my_o own_o child_n must_v add_v unto_o my_o grief_n must_v absalon_n that_o i_o love_v so_o well_o be_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o thou_o have_v rob_v i_o of_o my_o child_n and_o bring_v i_o almost_o to_o the_o grave_n but_o now_o thou_o will_v have_v my_o crown_n and_o my_o

child_n take_v warning_n by_o this_o one_o thus_o hang_v up_o in_o gibbet_n and_o know_v that_o if_o the_o kindness_n of_o their_o parent_n can_v break_v their_o heart_n and_o work_v they_o to_o
