The unnatural father: or the dutiful son's reward. Shewing in the first part, how a rich merchant in Dorsetshire having two sons, the eldest which was the most dutifull, was seldom suffer'd in his presence and when he was, he was sure of being Kick̀d & abused, and at last was turǹd out of Doors. How in the Second Part, the youngest Son, which was the most Stubborn, perverse and Wickedest youth, was the Fathers chiefest delight and Care, but for a Harlot's sake kill̀d a Man, which oblig̀d his father to Mortgage his whole Estate rather than suffer such disgrace in his family. In the last Part, how the poor forsaken Orphan trusting in God̀s goodness & Mercy, Cross̀d the Seas, where he Married a fortune worth Ten Thousand Pounds, and just returǹd at the critical Minute as to the succouring his distressed Parent in the time of his greatest affliction.
