book_n write_v in_o that_o science_n do_v general_o abound_v will_n when_o they_o be_v well_o know_v and_o weigh_v rather_o in_o all_o probability_n force_v its_o reception_n and_o entertainment_n

several_a subject_n which_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o principal_a and_o most_o considerable_a matter_n belong_v to_o the_o cognizance_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n of_o this_o realm_n the_o first_o concern_v will_n and_o testament_n the_o second_o concern_v marriage_n the_o three_o concern_v tithe_n and_o have_v he_o live_v to_o have_v accomplish_v his_o design_n no_o doubt_n he_o

to_o treat_v of_o spousal_n the_o second_o of_o marriage_n the_o three_o of_o divorce_n the_o first_o of_o these_o part_n he_o live_v to_o finish_v as_o may_v be_v see_v by_o peruse_v the_o ensue_a treatise_n but_o as_o to_o the_o two_o last_o part_n and_o his_o piece_n of_o tithe_n he_o only_o leave_v some_o rude_a material_n not_o form_v or_o digest_v into_o any_o method_n or_o order_n and_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o that_o they_o in_o who_o hand_n the_o manuscript_n so_o long_o remain_v may_v think_v it_o a_o injury_n to_o the_o author_n memory_n to_o commit_v a_o piece_n to_o the_o press_n which_o remain_v unfinished_a and_o imperfect_a and_o want_v the_o author_n last_o hand_n at_o his_o death_n but_o though_o the_o piece_n be_v imperfect_a in_o respect_n of_o what_o the_o author_n design_v yet_o this_o particular_a tract_n concern_v spousal_n be_v absolute_o finish_v and_o the_o subject_a very_o delightful_a and_o pleasant_a and_o consider_v that_o no_o englishman_n that_o i_o know_v of_o have_v put_v forth_o any_o thing_n material_a of_o this_o nature_n before_o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o can_v be_v write_v by_o such_o a_o author_n special_o relate_v to_o his_o own_o profession_n but_o what_o very_o well_o deserve_v to_o be_v read_v and_o must_v be_v very_o inform_v i_o think_v the_o publish_n of_o it_o may_v be_v very_o pardonable_a if_o not_o oblige_v and_o grateful_a and_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o print_n of_o this_o piece_n may_v provoke_v and_o engage_v some_o ingenious_a pen_n of_o the_o same_o profession_n to_o begin_v where_o the_o learned_a author_n leave_v off_o and_o happy_o to_o finish_v and_o perfect_a what_o he_o live_v not_o to_o perform_v some_o person_n of_o critical_a disposition_n may_v perhaps_o censure_v our_o author_n for_o be_v oftentimes_o too_o elaborate_a and_o spend_v over_o much_o time_n in_o resolve_v question_n which_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o even_o to_o a_o mean_a capacity_n may_v seem_v very_o easy_a and_o trivial_a and_o in_o which_o there_o can_v be_v little_a or_o no_o difficulty_n and_o think_v that_o his_o style_n be_v too_o prolix_a and_o tedious_a and_o that_o in_o some_o place_n he_o seem_v too_o pedantic_a etc._n etc._n but_o to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o author_n design_v this_o treatise_n as_o former_o he_o have_v do_v that_o of_o his_o will_n and_o testament_n for_o the_o benefit_n and_o instruction_n of_o the_o mean_a sort._n if_o he_o have_v write_v for_o fame_n and_o ostentation_n or_o for_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o learned_a and_o such_o as_o be_v well_o verse_v before_o hand_n in_o the_o profession_n he_o know_v as_o well_o as_o any_o man_n how_o to_o have_v apply_v himself_o to_o they_o in_o a_o more_o succinct_a and_o concise_a way_n and_o to_o have_v talk_v to_o they_o in_o their_o own_o term_n of_o art_n and_o such_o as_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o profession_n and_o this_o will_v have_v be_v much_o more_o easy_a and_o less_o trouble_n to_o he_o but_o it_o will_v have_v render_v the_o treatise_n in_o great_a measure_n useless_a to_o the_o generality_n of_o people_n for_o who_o benefit_n he_o chief_o intend_v it_o and_o beside_o many_o grain_n of_o allowance_n be_v to_o be_v give_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o age_n in_o which_o he_o write_v which_o be_v full_a of_o affection_n and_o far_o less_o polite_a and_o accurate_a than_o the_o present_a we_o find_v scrap_n of_o latin_a much_o less_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o much_o more_o pedantry_n and_o affectation_n use_v by_o a_o man_n of_o great_a fame_n and_o worth_n in_o another_o profession_n who_o live_v many_o year_n after_o our_o author_n and_o have_v many_o more_o advantage_n of_o conversation_n and_o improvement_n and_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o the_o pertinency_n and_o closeness_n of_o our_o author_n in_o most_o place_n will_v sufficient_o compensate_a and_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o his_o prolixity_n or_o affectation_n in_o other_o the_o way_n that_o he_o use_v in_o quote_v his_o authority_n for_o every_o point_n of_o law_n that_o he_o deliver_v be_v fair_a and_o candid_a however_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o person_n superfluous_a and_o may_v be_v of_o singular_a use_n to_o those_o that_o study_v the_o profession_n especial_o to_o young_a practitioner_n there_o be_v scarce_o any_o question_n that_o can_v occur_v relate_v to_o spousal_n or_o matrimonial_a contract_n that_o be_v not_o here_o ingenious_o debate_v and_o judicious_o resolve_v and_o then_o he_o that_o desire_v more_o ample_a satisfaction_n be_v direct_v how_o he_o may_v consult_v those_o author_n from_o whence_o this_o judgement_n be_v draw_v and_o collect_v and_o where_o he_o may_v find_v the_o matter_n much_o more_o ample_o discuss_v and_o receive_v all_o the_o satisfaction_n he_o can_v desire_v in_o short_a i_o hope_v that_o care_n have_v be_v take_v in_o the_o impression_n that_o the_o
