her_o husband_n or_o her_o maker_n most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v lawful_a before_o in_o the_o son_n be_v now_o necessary_a and_o that_o which_o the_o wife_n can_v not_o

wherefore_o this_o treatise_n be_v compile_v of_o sentence_n of_o holy_a father_n the_o second_o even_o drive_v they_o to_o hell_n and_o of_o this_o matter_n we_o will_v not_o bring_v our_o own_o
