If any ask why God was so severe, that he 1did not punish Hiel in himself, but take away his children, it may seem against reason.

- 1Why God sometimes punisheth parents in their children.
But we must not dispute with God: for we ⟨p. 111⟩must know that God hath the supreme power, of life and death.
But we must not dispute with God: for wee ⟨p. 111⟩must know that God hath the supream power, of life and death.
Then we must know again, that children •re part of their Parents, God punisheth the parents in their children: and it is a heavier punishment oft times in their esteem, then in themselves: for they think to live, and continue in their children; now when they see their children took away, it is worse then death; men oft times live, to see things worse •hen death, as those that see their children killed before them, as Zedechias, and Mauritius the Emperor: for indeed it is a death oft. A man dies in every child, this man he died in his eldest son, and he died in his youngest son; he died in regard of the apprehension of death, it was more sharp in apprehension, then when he died himself. So it is a heavy judgement to be stricken in our children: God when he will punish, he punisheth oft times in posterity; As we see it was the most terrible judgement of all upon Pharaoh, that in his First-borne, God drew them all to let Israel go out, when He smote their First-borne: It is a heavy judgement for a man to be stricken in his First-born, either when they are dissolute, and debauch ed, and lawless, (for God hath judgements for the soul, as well as for the body) or else when they are taken out of the world.
