second_o the_o personal_a sin_n of_o the_o parent_n may_v not_o keep_v the_o blessing_n from_o the_o child_n and_o therefore_o not_o deprive_v he_o of_o participation_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o

that_o belong_v to_o his_o salvation_n yet_o in_o this_o case_n some_o caution_n be_v careful_o to_o be_v obscrue_v as_o first_o that_o the_o parent_n hold_v the_o true_a faith_n and_o religion_n

to_o satisfy_v his_o justice_n for_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v true_a and_o proper_a part_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o that_o these_o be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a i_o prove_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o they_o do_v whole_o frustrate_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o be_v meritorious_a and_o satisfactory_a second_o

of_o fast_v as_o will_v appear_v by_o this_o example_n a_o beggar_n at_o our_o door_n entreat_v a_o alm_n we_o give_v it_o and_o he_o receive_v it_o but_o will_v any_o man_n say_v that_o by_o beg_v
