the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o saint_n paul_n among_o other_o virtue_n convenient_a for_o a_o bishop_n require_v this_o for_o one_o that_o he_o be_v not_o couple_v to_o more_o

a_o lawful_a bishop_n and_o yet_o live_v unmarried_a again_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n must_v be_v the_o wife_n and_o not_o must_v have_v be_v the_o wife_n so_o that_o the_o

this_o article_n of_o popery_n i_o therefore_o note_n first_o that_o these_o four_o thing_n be_v real_o distinguish_v in_o s._n paul_n to_o wit_n the_o wax_a wanton_a of_o the_o widow_n the_o marriage_n of_o the_o widow_n the_o damnation_n of_o the_o widow_n and_o the_o breach_n of_o their_o faith_n i_o note_v second_o that_o the_o wantonness_n of_o the_o widow_n be_v before_o their_o

non_fw-la concupisces_fw-la thou_o shall_v not_o lust_n 7.7_o i_o note_v four_o y_z t_z the_o breach_n of_o every_o commandment_n deserve_v eternal_a death_n for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n 〈◊〉_d

offend_v in_o any_o one_o point_n he_o become_v guilty_a of_o all_o i_o note_v fift_o that_o by_o god_n law_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o refer_v all_o our_o work_n all_o our_o word_n and_o all_o our_o thought_n to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n for_o so_o teach_v his_o apostle_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o wantonness_n of_o the_o young_a widow_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n 31_o these_o point_n observe_v i_o conclude_v that_o the_o young_a widow_n have_v damnation_n not_o for_o marry_v but_o for_o be_v wanton_a before_o their_o marriage_n for_o in_o be_v wanton_a against_o christ_n they_o break_v their_o first_o faith_n make_v in_o baptism_n that_o be_v they_o perform_v not_o that_o obedience_n they_o promise_v in_o baptism_n &_o in_o not_o perform_v that_o obedience_n they_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n and_o so_o they_o have_v damnation_n because_o they_o be_v wanton_a against_o christ._n s._n paul_n say_v not_o that_o they_o have_v damnation_n because_o they_o marry_v which_o must_v be_v well_o mark_v but_o because_o they_o make_v void_v their_o first_o faith_n in_o break_v god_n commandment_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v i_o say_v sixth_o that_o saint_n paul_n be_v so_o far_o from_o condemn_v marriage_n in_o the_o young_a widow_n after_o their_o promise_n or_o vow_v which_o the_o papist_n will_v most_o willing_o father_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o marry_v even_o after_o such_o their_o promise_n or_o vow_n i_o prove_v it_o note_v well_o what_o i_o say_v because_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v will_v the_o young_a widow_n to_o marry_v in_o the_o 14._o verse_n forthwith_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n he_o yield_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o his_o advice_n to_o wit_n because_o certain_a be_v already_o turn_v back_o after_o satan_n now_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n he_o must_v needs_o speak_v of_o such_o widow_n as_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n because_o none_o can_v be_v turn_v back_o from_o that_o to_o which_o they_o never_o be_v admit_v he_o therefore_o speak_v likewise_o of_o the_o betroth_a widow_n in_o the_o next_o verse_n before_o which_o i_o make_v evident_a three_o way_n first_o because_o otherwise_o his_o illation_n in_o the_o 15._o verse_n shall_v be_v foolish_a &_o frivolous_a foolish_a because_o it_o can_v have_v no_o connexion_n with_o the_o 14._o verse_n frivolous_a for_o that_o it_o can_v not_o conclude_v his_o purpose_n second_o because_o he_o have_v already_o in_o the_o 11._o verse_n charge_v the_o bishop_n timothy_n not_o to_o receive_v any_o widow_n under_o the_o age_n of_o 60._o year_n this_o conclusion_n therefore_o be_v make_v touch_v the_o widow_n not_o yet_o admit_v he_o go_v forward_a and_o give_v his_o advice_n for_o the_o young_a widow_n than_o receive_v of_o the_o church_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v for_o as_o much_o as_o some_o of_o the_o young_a sort_n have_v already_o be_v wanton_a and_o follow_v sathan_n and_o there_o be_v also_o danger_n in_o the_o rest_n i_o decree_v that_o hereafter_o none_o under_o 60._o year_n be_v receive_v and_o i_o exhort_v the_o young_a already_o receive_v and_o desirous_a to_o marry_v to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o holy_a wedlock_n to_o bring_v forth_o child_n to_o be_v housewife_n and_o so_o to_o give_v no_o occasion_n to_o the_o adversary_n to_o speak_v evil_a three_o because_o otherwise_o saint_n paul_n shall_v equivocate_v very_o gross_o in_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n give_v one_o signification_n to_o the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o premise_n &_o a_o other_o in_o the_o consecution_n thus_o much_o of_o this_o objection_n in_o special_a and_o of_o the_o marriage_n of_o bishop_n priest_n deacons_n and_o religious_a person_n in_o general_a as_o also_o of_o the_o first_o prohibition_n against_o the_o same_o it_o now_o remain_v for_o the_o complement_n of_o this_o discourse_n that_o i_o solve_v certain_a objection_n make_v general_o against_o this_o doctrine_n for_o which_o be_v
