or_o control_v it_o be_v know_v what_o socrates_n and_o aristotle_n relate_v of_o a_o certain_a persian_a who_o be_v ask_v what_o it_o be_v chief_o that_o make_v his_o horse_n so_o fat_a answer_v

great_a affection_n of_o parent_n towards_o their_o child_n be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o nature_n as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o never_o intend_v this_o as_o a_o general_a direction_n to_o all_o mankind_n but_o only_o to_o a_o few_o wise_a man_n neither_o have_v he_o prescribe_v that_o wise_a man_n may_v not_o nor_o ought_v not_o to_o marry_v if_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o some_o other_o weighty_a consideration_n require_v it_o now_o how_o can_v this_o be_v to_o overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v not_o this_o i_o pray_v more_o holy_a and_o religious_a than_o the_o practice_n of_o aristotle_n who_o promulge_v a_o law_n that_o such_o child_n as_o be_v deficient_a in_o their_o member_n shall_v be_v destroy_v that_o the_o number_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v bring_v up_o may_v be_v limit_v and_o that_o as_o many_o as_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v bear_v beyond_o that_o number_n shall_v be_v expose_v but_o if_o any_o constitution_n of_o the_o country_n prohibit_v such_o practice_n they_o shall_v cause_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o womb_n to_o perish_v before_o it_o come_v to_o have_v life_n or_o feel_v and_o as_o to_o the_o reason_n or_o excuse_v he_o pretend_v of_o the_o privation_n or_o want_n of_o sense_n and_o life_n in_o the_o foetus_fw-la it_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a mockery_n for_o he_o can_v

or_o to_o 'slight_o and_o disregard_n it_o it_o seem_v they_o will_v have_v he_o maintain_v this_o doctrine_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v say_v that_o if_o they_o will_v absolute_o make_v he_o hold_v this_o that_o the_o love_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n be_v not_o natural_a they_o shall_v at_o least_o give_v he_o liberty_n to_o interpret_v his_o own_o word_n his_o mean_v be_v that_o this_o

epicurus_n seem_v to_o have_v very_o good_a reason_n to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n first_o because_o we_o see_v many_o that_o have_v equal_a affection_n for_o child_n that_o be_v none_o of_o their_o
