irritate_v god_n wrath_n and_o who_o know_v if_o god_n at_o last_o be_v weary_v with_o see_v for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n the_o christian_a maid_n and_o woman_n who_o be_v a_o shame_n and_o scandal_n

opposite_a to_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n conformable_a to_o the_o precept_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o allege_v a_o custom_n which_o the_o worldly_a and_o licentious_a woman_n have_v practise_v according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o idolater_n the_o opposite_a to_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n which_o the_o true_a christian_n have_v always_o follow_v to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o idolater_n since_o that_o they_o will_v regulate_v themselves_o upon_o custom_n they_o must_v of_o necessity_n choose_v one_o of_o the_o two_o and_o by_o their_o choice_n they_o range_v themselves_o either_o
