fear_v to_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n hit_v not_o upon_o his_o mate_n by_o chance_n or_o casualty_n but_o by_o the_o undeclinable_a ●ate_z of_o god_n praedetermination_n and_o have_v lay_v down_o this_o for_o a_o ground_n i_o shall_v adventure_v this_o superstructure_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o man_n to_o disjoin_a himself_o from_o the_o companion_n which_o providence_n have_v join_v he_o to_o in_o so_o indissoluble_a a_o link_n of_o amity_n that_o one_o member_n be_v not_o more_o true_o a_o part_n of_o a_o man_n body_n than_o his_o wife_n and_o therefore_o he_o ought_v rather_o to_o undergo_v with_o patience_n what_o god_n have_v ordain_v he_o perhaps_o for_o other_o reason_n than_o he_o can_v understand_v than_o to_o forgo_v it_o with_o wilfulness_n i_o remember_v it_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o a_o complete_a man_n that_o he_o take_v the_o untowardness_n of_o his_o wife_n as_o a_o school_n of_o patience_n yet_o to_o pursue_v the_o allegory_n though_o i_o will_v not_o have_v a_o man_n to_o cut_v off_o a_o limb_n for_o a_o curable_a disease_n yet_o if_o it_o outface_v art_n and_o nature_n in_o a_o remedy_n than_o ense_n rescidendume_v and_o have_v do_v so_o i_o can_v suppose_v it_o lawful_a though_o i_o shall_v grant_v all_o his_o assertion_n for_o indisputable_a truth_n that_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v admit_v another_o member_n like_o a_o wooden_a leg_n and_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o to_o help_v he_o a_o little_a the_o weight_n of_o our_o saviour_n argument_n lie_v in_o the_o last_o clause_n that_o whosoever_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o other_o cause_n than_o adultery_n commit_v fornication_n if_o he_o marry_v another_o to_o come_v as_o near_o therefore_o as_o i_o can_v to_o comply_v with_o your_o author_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o this_o position_n that_o it_o be_v altogether_o unlawful_a for_o a_o man_n or_o wife_n to_o divorce_n if_o both_o party_n be_v not_o equal_o agree_v to_o it_o and_o if_o either_o of_o they_o marry_v again_o and_o to_o this_o i_o shall_v add_v this_o inconvenience_n that_o be_v part_v they_o must_v not_o expect_v that_o the_o devil_n who_o be_v the_o father_n and_o factor_n of_o division_n will_v be_v less_o active_a in_o so_o wide_a a_o breach_n that_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o widen_v the_o least_o cranny_n of_o discontent_n into_o his_o advantage_n he_o that_o will_v creep_v in_o when_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v shall_v we_o imagine_v he_o to_o be_v less_o willing_a to_o enter_v when_o they_o be_v wide_o open_a this_o far_a i_o must_v confess_v there_o be_v some_o nature_n so_o hetrogenious_a that_o the_o straight_a and_o most_o gordian_a knot_n of_o wedlock_n be_v not_o able_a to_o twist_v of_o which_o the_o epigrammatist_n
