for_o that_o be_v your_o opinion_n or_o else_o as_o i_o think_v in_o those_o book_n which_o many_o year_n ago_o i_o write_v upon_o the_o sermon_n in_o saint_n mathewes_n gospel_n which_o our_o saviour_n make_v upon_o the_o mountain_n that_o he_o command_v those_o woman_n to_o remain_v unmarried_a which_o do_v go_v from_o their_o husband_n for_o that_o cause_n which_o be_v only_o permit_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n for_o you_o think_v that_o a_o woman_n go_v from_o her_o husband_n ought_v not_o than_o to_o marye_n if_o she_o go_v away_o be_v not_o compel_v by_o any_o fornication_n of_o her_o husband_n and_o you_o considre_fw-fr not_o if_o her_o husband_n geve_v no_o cause_n of_o fornication_n that_o than_o she_o ought_v not_o to_o remain_v unmarried_a if_o she_o go_v away_o but_o she_o ought_v not_o at_o all_o to_o go_v from_o he_o for_o true_o she_o that_o be_v command_v to_o remain_v unmarried_a if_o she_o go_v from_o her_o husband_n have_v not_o the_o liberty_n of_o go_v away_o take_v from_o she_o but_o the_o liberty_n to_o be_v marry_v which_o sai_v of_o you_o if_o it_o be_v true_a than_o be_v liberty_n give_v to_o those_o woman_n that_o be_v dispose_v to_o live_v in_o continency_n not_o to_o tarry_v nor_o regard_v the_o consent_n of_o their_o husband_n that_o the_o sai_n of_o the_o apostle_n let_v not_o a_o woman_n go_v from_o her_o husband_n shall_v seem_v to_o be_v command_v to_o they_o that_o may_v choose_v not_o continency_n but_o such_o a_o devorse_n as_o may_v be_v lawful_a to_o join_v with_o other_o in_o marriage_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v lauful_a to_o those_o woman_n that_o love_v to_o desire_v no_o company_n of_o man_n nor_o to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n of_o marriage_n to_o forsake_v their_o husband_n yea_o without_o any_o cause_n of_o fornication_n and_o accord_v to_o the_o apostle_n sai_v to_o remain_v unmarried_a and_o man_n likewise_o for_o there_o be_v like_a form_n in_o both_o if_o they_o will_v live_v continent_o may_v without_o the_o consent_n of_o their_o wyve_n forsake_v they_o &_o remain_v without_o any_o marriage_n for_o than_o as_o you_o think_v they_o may_v seek_v new_a marriage_n if_o the_o devorse_n be_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n but_o when_o that_o cause_n be_v not_o than_o it_o follow_v after_o your_o mind_n that_o the_o wife_n either_o ought_v not_o to_o go_v from_o her_o husband_n or_o if_o she_o go_v from_o he_o to_o remain_v with_o out_o marriage_n or_o else_o to_o return_v to_o her_o former_a husband_n again_o therefore_o when_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o fornication_n it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a to_o either_o of_o they_o to_o choose_v one_o of_o these_o three_o thing_n either_o not_o to_o go_v one_o from_o the_o other_o or_o if_o either_o

where_o be_v than_o that_o the_o same_o apostle_n will_v not_o y_z t_z either_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o marry_v party_n shall_v defraud_v the_o other_o in_o their_o carnal_a debt_n â–ª_o no_o not_o for_o a_o

be_v save_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v 7._o but_o for_o fornication_n let_v every_o husband_n have_v his_o wife_n &_o every_o wife_n have_v her_o husband_n and_o let_v the_o husband_n pay_v his_o debt_n to_o his_o wife_n and_o likewise_o the_o wife_n to_o her_o husband_n the_o wife_n have_v not_o power_n of_o her_o body_n but_o the_o husband_n &_o likewise_o the_o husband_n have_v not_o

the_o wife_n may_v so_o put_v away_o her_o husband_n that_o she_o may_v remain_v unmarried_a than_o the_o husband_n have_v not_o power_n of_o her_o body_n but_o she_o herself_o which_o be_v also_o

shall_v we_o understande_v this_o sai_n but_o that_o a_o man_n isprohibite_v to_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n if_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o fornication_n and_o it_o be_v tell_v why_o lest_o he_o make_v she_o to_o be_v a_o adultress_n true_o therefore_o because_o although_o she_o put_v not_o he_o away_o but_o be_v put_v away_o herself_o she_o shall_v be_v a_o adultress_n if_o she_o marry_v therefore_o for_o this_o great_a harm_n and_o inconvenience_n 3._o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n but_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n for_o then_o in_o put_v she_o away_o he_o do_v not_o make_v she_o a_o adultress_n but_o put_v away_o a_o adultress_n what_o if_o the_o man_n say_v i_o put_v away_o my_o wife_n without_o any_o cause_n of_o fornication_n but_o for_o that_o he_o will_v live_v chaste_a in_o continency_n shall_v we_o therefore_o say_v that_o he_o do_v lawful_o that_o he_o do_v who_o dare_v say_v so_o that_o understand_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n sai_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o wife_n put_v away_o no_o not_o because_o the_o man_n will_v live_v sole_a and_o chaste_a which_o except_v only_o the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n but_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n sai_v 7._o to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o marriage_n i_o command_v not_o i_o but_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o wife_n go_v not_o from_o her_o husband_n but_o if_o she_o go_v to_o remain_v unmarried_a and_o let_v we_o ask_v of_o he_o &_o as_o it_o be_v consult_v with_o he_o be_v present_a why_o do_v thou_o say_v o_o apostle_n if_o she_o go_v from_o her_o husband_n let_v she_o remain_v unmarried_a be_v it_o lawful_a for_o she_o to_o go_v away_o from_o he_o or_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a if_o it_o be_v not_o lauful_a why_o do_v thou_o command_v she_o go_v from_o her_o husband_n to_o remain_v unmarried_a but_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a than_o true_o there_o be_v a_o cause_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a this_o cause_n with_o no_o searching_n be_v find_fw-mi but_o only_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n except_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n command_v not_o a_o wife_n that_o do_v go_v from_o her_o husband_n to_o remain_v unmarried_a except_o she_o go_v from_o he_o for_o that_o cause_n for_o which_o only_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o wife_n to_o go_v from_o her_o husband_n for_o where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o command_v she_o not_o to_o go_v away_o but_o if_o she_o do_v go_v away_o to_o remain_v unmarried_a god_n forbid_v that_o she_o that_o so_o go_v away_o that_o she_o must_v remain_v unmarried_a shall_v do_v any_o thing_n against_o this_o commandment_n how_o therefore_o be_v she_o command_v to_o remain_v unmarried_a if_o she_o go_v away_o except_o you_o understand_v she_o that_o may_v lawful_o go_v away_o which_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o any_o wife_n but_o in_o case_n her_o husband_n commit_v fornication_n who_o be_v it_o that_o will_v say_v if_o a_o wife_n go_v from_o her_o husband_n without_o cause_n of_o fornication_n let_v she_o remain_v unmarried_a sing_v that_o she_o may_v not_o at_o all_o go_v from_o he_o but_o for_o fornication_n therefore_o i_o think_v that_o you_o now_o perceive_v how_o much_o this_o your_o understanding_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o bond_n of_o marriage_n where_o

than_o true_o she_o shall_v not_o be_v call_v a_o adultress_n during_o her_o husband_n life_n if_o she_o be_v with_o a_o other_o man_n but_o have_v no_o husband_n she_o may_v be_v marry_v to_o her_o own_o husband_n he_o that_o be_v of_o this_o mind_n do_v you_o not_o see_v how_o much_o he_o think_v against_o y_o e_o apostles_n mind_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o your_o opinion_n but_o this_o

in_o this_o place_n be_v understand_v for_o the_o man_n or_o wife_n committinge_n adultery_n wherefore_o after_o y_o e_o holsom_a doctrine_n &_o teachinge_a the_o woman_n be_v bownden_v so_o long_o as_o her_o husband_n lyvethe_v y_o it_o be_v to_o say_v be_v not_o depart_v out_o of_o his_o body_n for_o a_o woman_n marry_v be_v of_o the_o apostle_n mind_n that_o we_o say_v not_o a_o man_n commit_v adultery_n be_v to_o be_v count_v as_o a_o dead_a man_n and_z y_z t_z therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o his_o wife_n to_o marye_n a_o other_o man_n for_o although_o adultery_n be_v death_n not_o of_o y_z e_z body_n but_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v worse_o yet_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o of_o that_o death_n when_o he_o say_v if_o her_o husband_n be_v dead_a she_o may_v marry_v to_o who_o she_o will_v but_o of_o that_o only_a death_n whereby_o a_o man_n depart_v out_o of_o his_o body_n for_o if_o by_o the_o man_n adultery_n the_o bond_n of_o matrimonye_n be_v dissolve_v than_o follow_v that_o absurdity_n which_o i_o tell_v before_o aught_o to_o be_v avoid_v that_o the_o wife_n also_o by_o her_o fornication_n shall_v be_v loose_v from_o y_z e_z bond_n &_o if_o she_o be_v loose_v she_o be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o her_o husband_n and_o therefore_o which_o thing_n be_v most_o foulish_o speak_v she_o shall_v be_v no_o adultress_n if_o she_o be_v with_o a_o other_o man_n because_o by_o she_o own_o adultery_n she_o be_v depart_v from_o her_o former_a husband_n which_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v so_o far_o wide_a of_o truth_n y_z t_z no_o man_n i_o speak_v

of_o her_o husband_n except_o he_o be_v dead_a that_o she_o be_v no_o adulteress_n if_o she_o be_v with_o on_o other_o man_n and_o where_o as_o it_o be_v think_v hard_a to_o you_o 6_o that_o after_o
