a_o law_n make_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o be_v unjust_o put_v away_o and_o a_o sufferer_n in_o this_o case_n moses_n provide_v that_o though_o a_o woman_n shall_v be_v wrongful_o and_o by_o force_n be_v put_v away_o yet_o he_o will_v by_o this_o law_n compel_v the_o husband_n to_o give_v she_o a_o bill_n of_o divorce_n which_o shall_v be_v a_o token_n to_o her_o father_n and_o her_o

she_o will_v have_v be_v judge_v a_o whore_n and_o a_o wander_a vagrant_a and_o so_o will_v scarce_o have_v be_v receive_v into_o her_o father_n house_n so_o that_o moses_n may_v seem_v here_o not_o to_o give_v any_o law_n of_o divorce_n but_o rather_o a_o law_n to_o compel_v such_o of_o the_o jew_n who_o in_o their_o cruelty_n and_o from_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n will_v unjust_o and_o by_o force_n put_v away_o their_o wife_n to_o make_v they_o a_o writing_n of_o divorce_n and_o to_o give_v it_o she_o which_o shall_v be_v a_o testimony_n for_o the_o woman_n after_o she_o

she_o away_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n we_o conceive_v three_o thing_n make_v to_o this_o purpose_n 1._o because_o i_o find_v no_o law_n of_o divorce_n allow_v man_n to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n before_o this_o law_n if_o in_o case_n this_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v such_o a_o law_n aâ—d_fw-mi yet_o i_o find_v divorce_n practise_v by_o the_o jew_n therefore_o levit._n 21.14_o it_o be_v command_v to_o the_o priest_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o marry_v a_o widow_n or_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v divorce_v which_o imply_v there_o be_v some_o woman_n divorce_v now_o if_o divorce_n be_v practise_v and_o no_o law_n allow_v it_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v this_o place_n of_o deut._n 24.1_o be_v a_o law_n to_o remedy_v the_o extremity_n of_o their_o unlawful_a divorce_n by_o compel_v they_o to_o make_v a_o bill_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v put_v away_o and_o not_o a_o law_n either_o command_v or_o allow_v the_o divorce_n itself_o 2._o it_o seem_v to_o appear_v from_o the_o connexion_n of_o the_o word_n he_o shall_v give_v she_o a_o bill_n of_o divorce_n that_o when_o she_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o his_o house_n she_o may_v become_v the_o wife_n of_o another_o man_n so_o that_o the_o bill_n seem_v mere_o to_o be_v make_v for_o her_o benefit_n 3._o the_o text_n here_o allow_v the_o woman_n to_o marry_v again_o she_o be_v the_o suffer_a party_n and_o unjust_o put_v away_o but_o he_o be_v the_o offend_n it_o speak_v nothing_o of_o allow_v he_o to_o marry_v again_o so_o it_o seem_v the_o provision_n of_o the_o

itself_o answ._n it_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v so_o but_o rather_o that_o christ_n answer_v the_o pharisee_n according_a to_o their_o opinion_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o he_o grant_v they_o that_o in_o some_o sort_n moses_n may_v be_v say_v to_o suffâ—r_n man_n to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n because_o he_o command_v the_o bill_n to_o be_v make_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o woman_n the_o suffer_a party_n but_o say_v christ_n from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o that_o man_n shall_v put_v away_o their_o wife_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v neither_o be_v this_o bill_n then_o invent_v and_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o christ_n word_n we_o answer_v to_o your_o text_n deut._n 24.1_o in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o if_o the_o other_o two_o satisfy_v not_o â—_z

i_o believe_v they_o hardly_o allow_v that_o manifestation_n of_o love_n to_o each_o other_o which_o the_o covenant_n of_o marriage_n require_v but_o let_v we_o see_v have_v you_o any_o scripture_n
