Being Childelesse.

But by this means I am left without an Heir: Well, suppose that: Thou hast no Heir, and I have no inheritance; and there are many Kings and Emperors that have died childlesse: many Royal lines are extinguished: And Au∣gustus Caesar was forced to adopt his wives son to inherit all the Roman greatnesse. And there are many wise persons that never marryed; and we read no where that any o•• the children of the Apostles did survive their Fathers: and all that inherit any thing of Christs kingdom come to it by Adoption, not by natural inheritance: and to dye without an natural heir is no in∣tolerable evil, since it was sanctified in ••he per∣son of Jesus who dyed a Virgin.
