now_o the_o cause_n that_o tertullian_n allegethe_v why_o almyghty_a god_n do_v command_v in_o the_o old_a law_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v marry_v his_o brother_n wife_n a_o widow_n leave_v without_o yssew_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o thigh_n cause_n after_o tertulians_n mind_n be_v now_o takyn_n away_o /_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o commandment_n that_o bind_v the_o jue_n to_o

that_o the_o
cause_n that_o almyghty_a god_n do_v command_v his_o people_n the_o ive_n to_o marry_v their_o brother_n wifis_n widow_n leave_v without_o yssew_n /_o be_v for_o by_o cause_n as_o yet_o the_o old_a blessing_n of_o god_n encreasse_n you_o and_o multiply_v /_o owght_fw-mi to_o run_v forth_o and_o continue_v this_o cause_n be_v nothing_o worth_a nor_o yet_o meyt_v to_o show_v why_o almyghty_a god_n

do_v assign_v why_o almyghty_a god_n do_v command_v the_o jue_n to_o marry_v their_o brother_n wife_n widow_n etc._n etc._n be_v this_o for_o because_o than_o the_o child_n be_v punysh_v for_o their_o

shall_v not_o be_v punysh_v for_o his_o father_n fault_n xviij_o ezech._n xviij_o also_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o almyghty_a god_n shall_v make_v a_o law_n to_o punyshe_v the_o child_n for_o the_o father_n fautis_fw-la /_o when_o the_o child_n be_v innocent_a /_o and_o the_o father_n faulty_a /_o also_o it_o be_v more_o against_o reason_n to_o punyshe_v the_o child_n for_o the_o

almyghty_a god_n do_v command_v the_o jue_n to_o marry_v their_o brotheâ—s_n wifis_n widow_n leave_v with_o out_o yssewe_v be_v this_o because_o that_o the_o barren_a and_o dry_a person_n be_v hade_a
