we_o and_o if_o we_o do_v but_o look_v into_o the_o proverb_n we_o may_v be_v easy_o convince_v and_o observe_v how_o we_o read_v there_o that_o child_n be_v not_o always_o such_o blessing_n that_o

and_o the_o father_n of_o a_o fool_n have_v no_o joy_n and_o in_o the_o 25._o v_o a_o foolish_a son_n be_v a_o grief_n to_o his_o father_n and_o a_o bitterness_n to_o she_o that_o bear_v he_o in_o all_o which_o expression_n we_o may_v see_v that_o a_o man_n be_v much_o happy_a in_o have_v no_o child_n than_o such_o as_o be_v foolish_a and_o vicious_a and_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v a_o great_a grief_n and_o dishonour_n to_o parent_n than_o to_o have_v silly_a and_o wicked_a child_n what_o comfort_n be_v there_o in_o have_v such_o lewd_a and_o profane_a son_n as_o old_a eli_n who_o bring_v a_o scandal_n upon_o their_o father_n and_o a_o curse_n upon_o their_o family_n the_o whole_a generation_n o●_n what_o can_v be_v a_o great_a grief_n to_o a_o father_n than_o to_o have_v such_o a_o son_n as_o jeroboam_n the_o son_n of_o nebat_fw-la who_o make_v israel_n to_o sin_n that_o be_v one_o that_o shal●_n prove_v the_o pest_n of_o the_o age_n and_o the●_n bane_n of_o mankind_n

that_o it_o go_v as_o pure_a out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o come_v into_o it_o whereas_o if_o it_o have_v live_v to_o maturity_n it_o may_v have_v be_v like_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n or_o die_v with_o some_o great_a sin_n upon_o it_o unrepented_a of_o as_o well_o as_o some_o of_o his_o child_n have_v do_v and_o true_o the_o same_o consideration_n may_v well_o be_v make_v use_n of_o by_o all_o parent_n to_o bring_v they_o quiet_o to_o sustain_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o child_n when_o they_o die_v in_o their_o nonage_n and_o very_o young_a and_o what_o can_v be_v a_o more_o comfortable_a consideration_n than_o for_o parent_n under_o such_o loss_n to_o think_v that_o their_o child_n virtue_n if_o they_o have_v live_v be_v very_o uncertain_a and_o that_o vice_n be_v the_o most_o likely_a to_o prevail_v that_o sin_n reign_v more_o in_o the_o world_n than_o goodness_n that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v stark_a naught_o and_o that_o but_o few_o continue_v in_o it_o but_o contract_v some_o spot_n or_o stain_v and_o none_o that_o be_v perfect_o innocent_a and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mercy_n to_o their_o child_n to_o be_v set_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o sin_n and_o temptation_n and_o to_o have_v such_o a_o early_a translation_n to_o heaven_n before_o they_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o hazard_v their_o salvation_n or_o to_o forfeit_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o title_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o happiness_n well_o may_v parent_n pronounce_v their_o child_n bless_v when_o they_o die_v in_o such_o a_o state_n of_o innocency_n for_o of_o such_o say_v our_o saviour_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n four_o another_o consideration_n which_o pacify_v david_n sorrow_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o child_n may_v very_o well_o

of_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n but_o to_o rejoice_v at_o their_o departure_n and_o go_v off_o the_o stage_n to_o think_v that_o they_o then_o retire_v from_o the_o distract_n care_v and_o inquietude_n of_o a_o troublesome_a world_n and_o be_v pass_v the_o reach_n and_o grievance_n of_o all_o misfortune_n this_o world_n be_v too_o low_a a_o region_n to_o be_v free_a from_o storm_n and_o tempest_n
