son_n to_o his_o daughter_n but_o the_o proof_n follow_v be_v great_a indeed_o we_o find_v that_o caleb_n the_o son_n of_o jephune_n give_v unto_o his_o daughter_n 15._o joshu_n 15._o achsab_n the_o

of_o their_o tribe_n because_o all_o the_o male_n of_o the_o family_n of_o their_o father_n be_v decease_v but_o it_o seem_v unto_o he_o so_o difficult_a a_o matter_n to_o answer_v that_o he_o be_v

the_o matter_n be_v by_o god_n himself_o full_o decide_v son_n than_o the_o inheritance_n shall_v turn_v to_o the_o daughter_n against_o this_o who_o can_v or_o dare_v speak_v and_o now_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o no_o man_n may_v give_v the_o portion_n due_a unto_o his_o son_n from_o he_o to_o his_o daughter_n but_o i_o have_v another_o objection_n yet_o of_o this_o politition_n to_o answer_v unto_o i_o do_v remember_v he_o say_v he_o have_v marry_v sundry_a wife_n &_o he_o have_v have_v child_n by_o each_o of_o they_o &_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o great_a many_o more_o the_o first_o wife_n be_v forget_v &_o her_o child_n &_o her_o child_n be_v as_o little_o regard_v &_o therefore_o to_o please_v his_o last_o wife_n he_o will_v suspense_n with_o the_o other_o child_n there_o be_v too_o many_o use_v such_o trick_n in_o these_o day_n but_o if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o scholar_n in_o god_n school_n he_o must_v learn_v another_o lesson_n for_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v have_v child_n by_o sundry_a wife_n and_o that_o he_o love_v the_o one_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o ooth_a if_o his_o first_o bear_v

for_o father_n to_o regard_n and_o against_o partiality_n he_o may_v not_o make_v the_o son_n of_o she_o who_o he_o love_v his_o first_o bear_v before_o the_o son_n of_o the_o hate_a which_o be_v

for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o his_o strength_n and_o to_o he_o belong_v the_o right_a of_o the_o first_o bear_v &_o thus_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o partiality_n use_v in_o these_o cause_n but_o now_o to_o conclude_v this_o last_o part_n and_o to_o make_v the_o matter_n yet_o more_o plain_a than_o we_o have_v do_v and_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o father_n may_v not_o give_v his_o good_n from_o his_o child_n nay_o that_o he_o have_v no_o right_a so_o to_o do_v but_o that_o of_o right_n they_o belong_v unto_o his_o child_n we_o have_v yet_o a_o very_a plain_a

so_o much_o money_n neither_o no_o he_o be_v more_o bold_a with_o he_o they_o so_o for_o he_o come_v blunt_o and_o plain_o unto_o he_o neither_o to_o beg_v nor_o to_o borrow_v of_o he_o but_o to_o

15._o luke_n 15._o demand_v no_o more_o nor_o he_o ask_v no_o less_o well_o than_o it_o appear_v it_o be_v his_o right_n but_o now_o for_o the_o confirmation_n yet_o further_o of_o this_o matter_n let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o father_n take_v the_o business_n for_o if_o his_o son_n have_v matter_n a_o confirmation_n yet_o further_o of_o this_o matter_n exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o his_o duty_n no_o doubt_n but_o as_o a_o father_n he_o will_v soon_o reprove_v and_o correct_v he_o for_o it_o but_o here_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v appear_v plain_o that_o he_o do_v
