that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v of_o they_o of_o old_a time_n as_o before_o and_o it_o have_v be_v say_v as_o here_o and_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v vers_fw-la 38._o and_o sure_o

when_o our_o saviour_n say_v so_o he_o instance_v in_o murder_n adultery_n perjury_n all_o breach_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o the_o patriarch_n before_o and_o after_o the_o flood_n observe_v and_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o old_a time_n which_o be_v before_o moses_n wherein_o divorce_n and_o the_o positive_a law_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o injury_n be_v not_o in_o force_n

in_o this_o verse_n concern_v it_o be_v that_o which_o our_o saviour_n grant_v be_v say_v whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n but_o the_o doctrine_n that_o the_o scribe_n preach_v concern_v divorce_n be_v far_o more_o large_a so_o that_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v far_o more_o corrupt_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o marriage_n then_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n appear_v by_o the_o

and_o doubtless_o their_o doctrine_n be_v not_o less_o corrupt_a so_o that_o in_o this_o point_n they_o do_v not_o hear_v the_o law_n in_o its_o true_a sense_n nor_o word_n but_o far_o more_o liberty_n be_v give_v and_o the_o septuagint_n indeed_o be_v not_o if_o he_o shall_v put_v she_o away_o but_o he_o shall_v put_v she_o away_o so_o it_o have_v be_v say_v whosoever_o shall_v etc._n

time_n our_o savour_n say_v that_o the_o very_a scribe_n and_o pharisee_n tell_v they_o that_o this_o of_o perjury_n be_v a_o law_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o father_n thou_o shall_v not_o

reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n instance_v in_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o hand_n and_o no_o more_o it_o may_v be_v because_o it_o seem_v sufficient_a to_o instance_n in_o one_o organ_n of_o sense_n and_o in_o one_o of_o action_n for_o of_o those_o do_v all_o the_o outward_a and_o not_o vital_a part_n of_o the_o body_n consist_v 4._o the_o reason_n why_o he_o instance_v in_o that_o sense_n and_o in_o the_o hand_n rather_o than_o the_o foot_n may_v be_v 1._o because_o that_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o the_o other_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v instrument_n and_o occasion_n of_o make_v we_o guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n above_o specify_v such_o way_n that_o the_o scribe_n do_v not_o teach_v 2._o because_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o hand_n be_v the_o dear_a and_o chief_a of_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n the_o one_o for_o knowledge_n and_o the_o other_o for_o action_n the_o eye_n the_o chief_a of_o all_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o object_n of_o

the_o beautiful_a part_n of_o the_o body_n nay_o the_o very_a seat_n of_o beauty_n other_o excellency_n may_v be_v give_v but_o these_o belong_v to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n the_o hand_n also_o
