any_o natural_a disagreement_n of_o disposition_n constitution_n or_o complexion_n whatsoever_o christ_n speak_v of_o this_o difference_n even_o between_o they_o of_o the_o near_a relation_n say_v

and_o not_o suffer_v to_o escape_v by_o divorce_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a uncleanness_n or_o defilement_n of_o virgin_n by_o the_o law_n the_o

two_o quality_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n by_o entice_a word_n shall_v tempt_v and_o entice_v a_o maid_n to_o lie_v with_o she_o and_o she_o upon_o his_o promise_n and_o enticement_n yield_v to_o it_o but_o present_o after_o the_o fact_n do_v discover_v it_o to_o her_o father_n or_o kindred_n to_o compel_v the_o same_o man_n to_o marry_v she_o and_o of_o this_o kind_n it_o seem_v

be_v another_o distinction_n of_o this_o defile_n of_o a_o virgin_n viz._n when_o the_o maid_n consent_v to_o commit_v folly_n
with_o any_o private_o and_o so_o as_o it_o proceed_v from_o her_o whorish_a spirit_n principal_o with_o a_o mere_a desire_n to_o commit_v filthiness_n as_o a_o common_a strumpet_n or_o whore_n and_o

find_v she_o not_o a_o maid_n but_o to_o have_v commit_v folly_n in_o her_o father_n house_n and_o never_o declare_v it_o to_o the_o end_n the_o man_n who_o commit_v folly_n with_o she_o may_v be_v

she_o to_o he_o to_o wife_n as_o exodus_fw-la 22.17_o and_o she_o after_o marry_v another_o who_o find_v her_o defile_a or_o unclean_a be_v displease_v therewith_o so_o that_o she_o find_v noâ—_z

answer_v that_o in_o case_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o uncleanness_n and_o defilement_n with_o that_o deut._n 22.11_o 12_o â—_z etc._n etc._n than_o we_o say_v it_o be_v leave_v by_o the_o law_n to_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o man_n to_o prosecute_v she_o to_o death_n as_o cap._n 22._o or_o to_o divorce_v she_o as_o cap._n 24._o and_o though_o i_o know_v this_o will_v sound_v very_o harsh_a and_o irreconcilable_a at_o the_o best_a yet_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v i_o may_v as_o easy_o reconcile_v these_o two_o place_n thus_o together_o as_o christ_n speech_n matthew_n 5.32_o can_v be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o law_n of_o adultery_n for_o as_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o will_v confess_v that_o at_o that_o time_n when_o christ_n speak_v the_o law_n of_o put_v to_o death_n for_o adultery_n be_v in_o force_n and_o yet_o you_o see_v matthew_n 5.32_o he_o say_v not_o he_o that_o prosecute_v not_o his_o wife_n to_o the_o death_n for_o be_v a_o adulteress_n be_v guilty_a but_o whosoever_o put_v away_o his_o wife_n except_o for_o fornication_n he_o commit_v adultery_n now_o if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n in_o the_o man_n to_o prosâ—cute_v his_o wife_n to_o death_n for_o adultery_n i_o suppose_v christ_n will_v never_o have_v mention_v divorce_n for_o that_o which_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v death_n so_o it_o may_v seem_v it_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o husband_n the_o same_o i_o say_v to_o the_o reconcile_n the_o command_n of_o put_v to_o death_n the_o defile_a virgin_n deut._n 22._o and_o divorce_v she_o cap._n 24._o it_o may_v further_o by_o object_v that_o it_o can_v be_v the_o same_o uncleanness_n mean_v here_o which_o in_o chapter_n 22._o because_o there_o direction_n be_v give_v for_o a_o trial_n of_o the_o charge_n of_o uncleanness_n lay_v to_o she_o but_o not_o so_o here_o and_o if_o upon_o trial_n there_o it_o be_v find_v a_o false_a charge_n he_o may_v not_o put_v she_o away_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o the_o same_o trial_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o 24_o chapter_n as_o in_o the_o 22._o although_o not_o mention_v answ._n yet_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o well_o as_o the_o father_n dissent_n to_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o daughter_n to_o one_o who_o have_v defile_v she_o be_v not_o mention_v deut._n 22.29_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v exod._n 22.17_o where_o it_o be_v mention_v but_o suppose_v the_o same_o trial_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o 24_o chapter_n as_o in_o the_o 22._o answ._n yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o same_o uncleanness_n only_o differ_v in_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o maid_n etc._n etc._n for_o though_o it_o be_v the_o same_o uncleanness_n yet_o do_v there_o not_o need_v that_o examination_n and_o trial_n where_o only_o a_o divorce_n be_v intend_v as_o where_o death_n be_v intend_v but_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v another_o great_a objection_n against_o this_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n uncleanness_n object_n that_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o fornication_n before_o marriage_n because_o christ_n speak_v with_o relation_n to_o this_o text_n as_o it_o seem_v understand_v it_o otherwise_o then_o of_o fornication_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o conclusion_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o their_o wife_n except_o for_o fornication_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o it_o will_v seem_v plain_a christ_n understand_v not_o this_o text_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o fornication_n for_o he_o seem_v to_o blame_v this_o put_v away_o found_v upon_o this_o text_n and_o yet_o allow_v divorce_n for_o fornication_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o brief_o answ._n we_o conceive_v the_o word_n fornication_n and_o adultery_n be_v use_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o not_o reciprocal_o yet_o at_o the_o least_o promiscuous_o and_o that_o that_o by_o fornication_n be_v many_o time_n mean_v more_o than_o uncleanness_n commit_v between_o unmarried_a person_n as_o 1_o corinthian_n 5.1_o there_o the_o word_n fornication_n be_v use_v and_o apply_v to_o incest_n and_o in_o 1_o corinthian_n 10.7_o neither_o let_v we_o be_v fornicator_n etc._n etc._n be_v apply_v to_o the_o israelite_n numb._n 25._o who_o lie_v it_o be_v say_v with_o the_o woman_n of_o midian_a which_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o maid_n for_o the_o title_n woman_n be_v seldom_o apply_v to_o they_o so_o 1_o cor._n 6_o he_o that_o commit_v fornication_n sin_n against_o his_o own_o body_n be_v doubtless_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o adultery_n as_o well_o as_o of_o uncleanness_n between_o single_a person_n if_o it_o be_v not_o sole_o mean_v of_o adultery_n so_o than_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o word_n fornication_n be_v often_o use_v for_o adultery_n after_o marriage_n and_o we_o conceive_v christ_n intend_v it_o so_o when_o he_o say_v whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n except_o for_o fornication_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v for_o adultery_n or_o defile_v his_o marriage_n bed_n and_o so_o christ_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o same_o uncleanness_n moses_n do_v although_o moses_n shall_v be_v mean_v of_o fornication_n thus_o you_o have_v our_o first_o answer_n to_o this_o your_o place_n of_o deut._n 24.1_o that_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o uncleanness_n as_o the_o original_a and_o other_o language_n read_v it_o and_o though_o we_o be_v not_o over_o confident_a of_o the_o kind_n of_o uncleanness_n whether_o it_o be_v fornication_n before_o marriage_n as_o we_o have_v show_v or_o some_o natural_a legal_a or_o sinful_a uncleanness_n it_o much_o matter_n not_o this_o we_o only_o propose_v to_o the_o reader_n consideration_n upon_o trial_n to_o reject_v it_o or_o receive_v it_o as_o he_o find_v it_o upon_o examination_n but_o in_o case_n this_o answer_n fail_v we_o have_v two_o other_o answer_n to_o your_o place_n of_o deut._n 24.1_o only_o two_o objection_n remain_v 1._o that_o christ_n find_v fault_n with_o this_o divorce_n ground_v upon_o moses_n law_n object_n and_o show_v it_o be_v not_o so_o from_o the_o beginning_n nor_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o now_o which_o prove_v the_o divorce_n for_o uncleanness_n deut._n 24.1_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o fornication_n or_o uncleanness_n commit_v before_o marriage_n for_o that_o be_v always_o allow_v of_o from_o the_o beginning_n as_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o divorce_n and_o so_o seem_v to_o be_v now_o to_o this_o we_o only_o answer_v that_o when_o either_o of_o these_o two_o be_v prove_v answ._n we_o shall_v willing_o let_v fâ—ll_v that_o interpretation_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o considerate_a reader_n object_n 2._o but_o it_o may_v be_v further_o object_v that_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o moses_n allow_v of_o divorce_n for_o whether_o for_o fornication_n before_o marriage_n as_o be_v say_v before_o or_o for_o some_o unpleasing_a natural_a
