give_v you_o my_o own_o sense_n of_o it_o with_o submission_n to_o other_o in_o several_a proposition_n 1._o prop._n that_o we_o find_v not_o in_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n at_o least_o in_o express_a word_n that_o god_n dispense_v with_o his_o law_n against_o plurality_n of_o wife_n as_o to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o whether_o or_o no_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v by_o consequence_n will_v appear_v afterward_o 2._o prap._n that_o i_o conceive_v there_o can_v no_o reason_n be_v render_v why_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v please_v with_o the_o patriarch_n have_v more_o wife_n than_o one_o but_o the_o same_o may_v be_v urge_v à _fw-la fortiori_fw-la why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o from_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v but_o one_o man_n and_o one_o woman_n he_o can_v have_v create_v more_o but_o it_o do_v not_o please_v he_o so_o to_o do_v 3._o prop._n that_o text_n in_o malachi_n be_v worthy_a our_o consideration_n in_o this_o case_n where_o you_o have_v the_o lord_n reprove_v his_o people_n thus_o because_o 16_o mal._n 2._o 14_o 15_o 16_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v witness_n between_o thou_o and_o the_o wife_n of_o thy_o youth_n against_o who_o thou_o have_v deal_v

one_o that_o he_o may_v seek_v a_o godly_a seed_n therefore_o take_v heed_n to_o your_o spirit_n and_o let_v none_o deal_v treacherous_o against_o the_o wife_n of_o his_o youth_n for_o the_o lord_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n say_v he_o hate_v put_v away_o etc._n etc._n i_o know_v the_o lord_n urge_v this_o against_o a_o man_n put_v away_o his_o wife_n but_o mark_v from_o whence_o he_o take_v his_o rise_n viz._n from_o the_o primitive_a institution_n of_o marriage_n and_o god_n argue_v à _fw-la fortiori_fw-la if_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v that_o one_o man_n shall_v have_v but_o one_o wife_n at_o first_o and_o make_v a_o law_n to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n and_o if_o a_o man_n deal_v treacherous_o against_o his_o wife_n by_o marry_v another_o though_o he_o live_v with_o they_o both_o how_o treacherous_o have_v thou_o deal_v with_o the_o wife_n of_o thy_o youth_n in_o put_v she_o away_o from_o thou_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o lord_n hate_v put_v away_o 4._o prop._n that_o that_o text_n of_o scripture_n where_o god_n reckon_v it_o as_o a_o mercy_n that_o he_o give_v david_n 8._o 2_o sam._n 12._o 7_o 8._o his_o master_n wife_n into_o his_o bosom_n must_v not_o so_o be_v expound_v as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n in_o itself_o to_o have_v many_o wife_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o concomitant_n of_o it_o i_o give_v thou_o thy_o master_n wife_n into_o thy_o bosom_n viz._n i_o give_v thou_o the_o kingdom_n for_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n among_o the_o jew_n when_o a_o king_n die_v and_o another_o succeed_v in_o his_o stead_n for_o the_o successor_n to_o have_v the_o decease_a king_n wife_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o solomon_n be_v so_o exceed_o incense_v against_o adonijah_n for_o move_v to_o have_v abishag_fw-mi to_o wife_n because_o she_o accompany_v david_n as_o his_o wife_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v ask_v the_o crown_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n be_v guilty_a of_o treason_n for_o mark_v what_o solomon_n say_v and_o king_n solomon_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o his_o mother_n and_o 22._o 1_o king_n 2._o 22._o why_o do_v thou_o ask_v abishag_fw-mi the_o shunamite_n for_o adonijah_n ask_v for_o he_o the_o kingdom_n also_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o achitophel_n persuade_v absalon_n to_o lie_v with_o his_o father_n wife_n on_o the_o house_n top_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o israel_n 1._o that_o he_o may_v engage_v he_o into_o the_o commission_n of_o such_o a_o crime_n that_o david_n neither_o in_o honour_n nor_o justice_n can_v pass_v by_o and_o by_o consequence_n that_o himself_o and_o his_o party_n may_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o condign_a punishment_n which_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v by_o a_o close_a between_o david_n and_o absalon_n 2._o because_o by_o this_o act_n he_o do_v virtual_o proclaim_v himself_o king_n to_o all_o israel_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n i_o crave_v leave_n to_o demur_v to_o the_o two_o answer_n give_v by_o learned_a man_n to_o this_o argument_n urge_v former_o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v true_a this_o phrase_n of_o give_v into_o a_o man_n bosom_n do_v not_o always_o in_o scripture_n signify_v a_o marriage-union_n but_o for_o all_o that_o have_v yet_o be_v say_v it_o may_v signify_v so_o if_o the_o phrase_n will_v bear_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n for_o the_o second_o though_o the_o law_n of_o god_n may_v be_v against_o marriage_n with_o mother_n in_o law_n yet_o this_o may_v lie_v hide_v to_o the_o patriarch_n it_o be_v only_o deducible_a by_o consequence_n and_o not_o express_o interminis_fw-la in_o the_o text_n 5._o prop._n that_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n may_v live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o continual_a practice_n of_o this_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v save_v because_o know_v sin_n require_v particular_a repentance_n but_o if_o sin_n be_v unknown_a or_o unconsidered_a by_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o sway_n of_o the_o time_n as_o the_o patriarch_n be_v then_o a_o general_a repentance_n suffice_v as_o david_n who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n clean_v thou_o i_o from_o secret_a fault_n 19.12_o psa_fw-la 19.12_o 6._o prop._n that_o which_o be_v a_o
