of_o it_o as_o of_o a_o action_n worthy_a to_o be_v name_v in_o her_o holy_a rejoice_v now_o if_o sarah_n so_o great_a a_o princess_n do_v nurse_v she_o own_o child_n why_o shall_v any_o of_o we_o

of_o this_o office_n and_o duty_n to_o be_v god_n ordinance_n by_o his_o own_o word_n according_a to_o the_o argument_n of_o example_n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v likewise_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o same_o

shall_v be_v well_o report_v of_o and_o well_o it_o may_v be_v the_o first_o because_o if_o holy_a minister_n or_o other_o christian_n do_v hear_v of_o a_o good_a woman_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o bed_n and_o her_o child_n to_o be_v live_v their_o first_o question_n usual_o be_v whether_o she_o herself_o give_v it_o suck_v yea_o or_o no_o if_o the_o answer_n be_v she_o do_v than_o they_o commend_v she_o if_o the_o answer_n be_v she_o do_v not_o than_o they_o be_v sorry_a for_o she_o and_o thus_o i_o come_v to_o a_o second_o precept_n i_o pray_v you_o who_o that_o judge_n aright_o do_v not_o hold_v the_o suckling_n of_o her_o own_o child_n the_o part_n of_o a_o true_a mother_n of_o a_o honest_a mother_n of_o a_o just_a mother_n of_o a_o sincere_a mother_n of_o a_o mother_n worthy_a of_o

therefore_o this_o be_v also_o a_o precept_n as_o for_o other_o duty_n so_o for_o this_o of_o mother_n to_o their_o child_n which_o say_v whatsoever_o thing_n be_v true_a 4.8_o whatsoever_o thing_n

the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v his_o ordinance_n that_o woman_n shall_v nurse_v their_o own_o child_n now_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v it_o by_o his_o work_n first_o by_o his_o

which_o prove_v also_o that_o he_o have_v ordain_v that_o they_o shall_v nurse_v their_o own_o child_n for_o by_o his_o secret_a operation_n the_o mother_n affection_n it_o so_o knit_v by_o nature_n

in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o be_v not_o say_v let_v the_o mother_n fly_v and_o leave_v her_o infant_n to_o the_o peril_n as_o if_o she_o be_v dispense_v with_o but_o only_o it_o be_v say_v woe_n to_o

with_o all_o plenty_n shall_v deny_v to_o give_v suck_n to_o their_o own_o child_n they_o go_v against_o nature_n and_o show_v that_o god_n have_v not_o do_v so_o much_o for_o they_o as_o to_o work_v any_o good_a 7.3_o no_o not_o in_o their_o nature_n but_o leave_v they_o more_o savage_a than_o the_o dragon_n and_o as_o cruel_a to_o their_o little_a one_o as_o the_o ostrich_n now_o another_o

for_o every_o kind_n to_o be_v apt_a and_o able_a to_o nourish_v their_o own_o fruit_n there_o be_v no_o beast_n that_o feed_v their_o young_a with_o milk_n but_o the_o lord_n even_o from_o the_o

as_o if_o another_o beast_n come_v towards_o their_o young_a to_o offer_v the_o office_n of_o a_o dam_n unto_o it_o they_o show_v according_a to_o their_o fashion_n a_o plain_a dislike_n of_o it_o as_o if_o nature_n do_v speak_v in_o they_o and_o say_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n order_n in_o nature_n command_v each_o kind_n to_o increase_v and_o multiply_v in_o their_o own_o body_n and_o by_o their_o own_o breast_n not_o to_o bring_v forth_o by_o one_o dam_n and_o to_o bring_v up_o by_o another_o but_o it_o be_v his_o ordinance_n that_o every_o kind_n shall_v both_o bring_v forth_o
