she_o own_o child_n and_o will_v bring_v you_o scripture_n for_o it_o too_o for_o say_v they_o do_v not_o sarah_n nurse_n isaac_n therefore_o every_o woman_n ought_v to_o nurse_v she_o own_o child_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a argument_n for_o from_o scripture_n to_o retort_v their_o argument_n on_o they_o david_n be_v a_o king_n and_o a_o prophet_n therefore_o every_o man_n must_v be_v a_o king_n and_o every_o king_n a_o prophet_n other_o again_o give_v you_o profound_a reason_n as_o they_o imagine_v as_o that_o the_o mother_n milk_n be_v most_o convenient_a for_o the_o child_n because_o it_o partake_v of_o her_o nature_n but_o i_o will_v ask_v these_o people_n whether_o every_o choleric_a woman_n have_v choleric_a child_n or_o every_o phlegmatic_a woman_n phlegmatic_a child_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n another_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o woman_n they_o say_v can_v love_v her_o child_n unless_o she_o give_v it_o suck_v she_o own_o self_n but_o if_o she_o do_v not_o for_o all_o that_o in_o my_o opinion_n she_o be_v very_o inhuman_a and_o unnatural_a other_o again_o be_v of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a opinion_n and_o thwart_v all_o this_o for_o first_o say_v these_o the_o child_n draw_v its_o condition_n from_o its_o nurse_n to_o prove_v which_o they_o quote_v several_a example_n as_o alcibiades_n be_v a_o athenian_a be_v so_o strong_a and_o valiant_a because_o he_o suck_v a_o spartan_a woman_n but_o cornelius_n tacitus_n say_v the_o german_n be_v such_o strong_a bone_a man_n because_o they_o suck_v their_o own_o mother_n then_o why_o have_v not_o
