CHAP. XCVIII.

IF God hath blest thee with inhe∣ritance, and children to inherit, trust not the staffe of thy family to the hands of one. Make not many Beggers in the building up of one great heir, lest if he miscarry through a prodigall Will, the rest sink through a hard necessity. Gods allowance is a double portion: when high blood, and generous breeding breake their fast in plenty, and dine in poverty, they often sup in Infamy: if thou de∣ny them Faulcons wings to prey on Fowl, give them Kites stomachs to seize on Garbage.
