shall_v be_v manifest_v by_o much_o harsh_a carriage_n each_o to_o other_o i_o shall_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v demonstrate_v the_o same_o where_o the_o scripture_n command_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v

there_o be_v between_o all_o marry_a people_n some_o contrariety_n or_o disagreement_n of_o mind_n and_o the_o scripture_n speak_v nothing_o to_o direct_v to_o what_o a_o measure_n of_o disagreement_n or_o contrariety_n it_o must_v grow_v to_o before_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a to_o divorce_v or_o part_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v the_o scripture_n allow_v not_o of_o any_o divorce_n at_o all_o for_o disagreement_n etc._n etc._n if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o husband_n to_o put_v away_o a_o infidel_n wife_n who_o acknowledge_v not_o christ_n arg._n in_o case_n she_o be_v content_a to_o dwell_v with_o he_o then_o may_v not_o a_o man_n put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o disagreement_n of_o mind_n only_o but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a ergo_fw-la the_o latter_a for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 7.13_o if_o any_o brother_n have_v a_o wife_n who_o be_v a_o infidel_n if_o she_o be_v content_a to_o dwell_v with_o he_o let_v he_o not_o put_v she_o away_o and_o for_o the_o second_o part_n that_o if_o a_o man_n may_v not_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n who_o be_v a_o infidel_n much_o less_o may_v he_o put_v his_o wife_n away_o for_o disagreement_n of_o disposition_n this_o seem_v clear_a because_o difference_n in_o religion_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n breed_v as_o great_a a_o dislike_n and_o disagreement_n and_o great_a than_o any_o natural_a disagreement_n of_o disposition_n constitution_n or_o complexion_n whatsoever_o christ_n speak_v of_o this_o difference_n even_o between_o they_o of_o the_o near_a relation_n say_v the_o father_n shall_v be_v against_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n against_o the_o father_n even_o to_o persecute_v with_o extremity_n and_o that_o the_o disciple_n shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o yet_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o that_o be_v hate_v of_o every_o man_n for_o his_o contrariety_n of_o natural_a disposition_n so_o that_o if_o disagreement_n in_o religion_n be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o hatred_n and_o variance_n than_o disagreement_n of_o natural_a disposition_n and_o constitution_n and_o yet_o a_o man_n may_v not_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o that_o disagreement_n then_o much_o less_o for_o this_o the_o three_o argument_n shall_v be_v from_o deut._n 22.13_o 14_o 15_o etc._n etc._n arg._n there_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v take_v a_o wife_n and_o hate_v she_o and_o raise_v a_o ill_a report_n upon_o she_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o she_o and_o if_o the_o report_n be_v find_v true_a she_o shall_v be_v stone_v to_o death_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o find_v true_a he_o shall_v not_o put_v she_o away_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n here_o although_o a_o man_n hate_v his_o wife_n so_o that_o he_o seek_v

great_a the_o disagreement_n of_o mind_n and_o disposition_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v between_o such_o a_o man_n and_o his_o wife_n who_o so_o do_v hate_v she_o let_v any_o man_n judge_v arg._n if_o every_o christian_n ought_v to_o bear_v the_o burden_n and_o infirmity_n of_o another_o christian_a to_o who_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v by_o any_o civil_a relation_n much_o more_o be_v he_o to_o

do_v his_o church_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v similitude_n hold_v not_o in_o every_o thing_n and_o therefore_o paul_n may_v not_o mean_v a_o man_n shall_v love_v his_o wife_n in_o perpetuity_n as_o

so_o you_o speak_v pag._n 26._o compare_v with_o pag._n 10._o now_o how_o this_o imputation_n will_v come_v to_o fall_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o god_n i_o believe_v you_o mean_v thus_o that_o for_o a_o man_n to_o divorce_v his_o wife_n unjust_o and_o to_o marry_v another_o be_v adultery_n but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n allow_v divorce_v unjust_o except_o disagreement_n of_o mind_n or_o unpleasant_a natural_a quality_n be_v a_o cause_n ergo_o in_o plain_a term_n you_o mean_v god_n by_o moses_n suffer_v man_n to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n if_o they_o find_v not_o love_v and_o favour_n in_o their_o eye_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o unpleasing_a natural_a quality_n for_o so_o you_o be_v please_v to_o read_v the_o text_n of_o deut._n 24.1_o now_o you_o infer_v if_o moses_n allow_v this_o and_o yet_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o divorce_n than_o do_v god_n by_o moses_n law_n tolerate_v adultery_n in_o that_o it_o tolerate_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o marry_v to_o another_o while_o they_o be_v not_o lawful_o part_v from_o their_o first_o husband_n or_o wife_n to_o take_v off_o this_o great_a scarecrow_n and_o the_o main_a pillar_n which_o he_o trust_v in_o to_o

text_n deut._n 24.1_o speak_v of_o a_o uncleanness●_n commit_v before_o marriage_n which_o we_o usual_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o fornication_n the_o same_o uncleanness_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o deut._n 22.13_o 14_o 15_o etc._n etc._n where_o it_o be_v say_v if_o a_o man_n take_v a_o wife_n and_o lie_n with_o she_o and_o hate_v she_o and_o shall_v say_v i_o take_v this_o woman_n to_o wife_n

direction_n be_v there_o that_o if_o it_o be_v find_v according_a to_o the_o complaint_n of_o her_o husband_n that_o she_o be_v not_o a_o maid_n but_o defile_v that_o she_o shall_v be_v stone_v to_o death_n and_o not_o be_v put_v away_o by_o divorce_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n if_o this_o text_n of_o deut._n 24.1_o speak_v of_o that_o uncleanness_n she_o ought_v to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n and_o not_o suffer_v to_o escape_v by_o divorce_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a uncleanness_n or_o defilement_n of_o virgin_n by_o the_o law_n the_o one_o be_v answ._n when_o she_o consent_v not_o to_o the_o uncleann●sse_n or_o defilement_n but_o it_o be_v commit_v upon_o she_o by_o force_n and_o this_o in_o the_o maid_n do_v not_o deserve_v death_n as_o be_v show_v deut._n 22.26_o second_o there_o be_v a_o defilement_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o maid_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v distinguish_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v of_o two_o quality_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n by_o entice_a word_n shall_v tempt_v and_o entice_v a_o maid_n to_o lie_v with_o she_o and_o she_o upon_o his_o promise_n and_o enticement_n yield_v to_o it_o but_o present_o after_o the_o fact_n do_v discover_v it_o to_o her_o father_n or_o kindred_n to_o compel_v the_o same_o man_n to_o marry_v she_o and_o of_o this_o kind_n it_o seem_v be_v speak_v of_o exod._n 22.16_o in_o this_o case_n the_o man_n be_v compellable_a to_o marry_v she_o and_o so_o she_o be_v not_o in_o this_o case_n to_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n second_o there_o be_v another_o distinction_n of_o this_o defile_n of_o a_o virgin_n viz._n when_o the_o maid_n consent_v to_o commit_v folly_n
