the_o christian_a church_n have_v ever_o so_o understand_v it_o here_o even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o those_o who_o have_v endeavour_v to_o oppugn_v it_o where_o it_o be_v take_v otherwise_o as_o

whereof_o as_o it_o will_v not_o at_o all_o avail_n those_o who_o will_v find_v out_o some_o low_a cause_n of_o divorce_n so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o latter_a shall_v be_v of_o any_o force_n here_o because_o our_o saviour_n be_v discourse_v of_o a_o man_n put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o the_o ground_n whereof_o it_o be_v certain_o more_o proper_a to_o assign_v a_o

but_o what_o the_o text_n itself_o will_v well_o bear_v and_o the_o suffrage_n of_o reason_n warrant_v for_o as_o a_o better_a reason_n can_v be_v render_v of_o our_o saviour_n make_v use_n of_o the_o
