the_o unfold_n of_o every_o word_n contain_v therein_o for_o as_o there_o be_v none_o vain_a and_o idle_a void_a of_o his_o proper_a signification_n so_o every_o one_o have_v his_o proper_a weight_n serve_v for_o special_a and_o necessary_a use_n 1._o first_o we_o call_v a_o contract_n a_o promise_n and_o so_o it_o be_v indeed_o for_o what_o be_v a_o promise_n but_o a_o speech_n which_o affirm_v or_o deny_v to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o with_o purpose_n and_o word_n of_o testimony_n to_o perform_v and_o accomplish_v that_o which_o be_v affirm_v or_o not_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v deny_v and_o what_o other_o thing_n be_v indeed_o a_o marriage_n contract_n but_o this_o so_o that_o it_o must_v be_v in_o nature_n a_o true_a and_o right_a promise_n not_o the_o vow_n of_o a_o promise_n in_o time_n to_o come_v but_o a_o present_a promise_n indeed_o for_o if_o one_o party_n do_v say_v i_o will_v promise_v to_o marry_v thou_o this_o be_v no_o promise_n indeed_o but_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o promise_n and_o consequent_o no_o contract_n but_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o contract_n and_o therefore_o tie_v not_o bind_v neither_o party_n nor_o parent_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o nature_n any_o contract_n at_o all_o again_o if_o a_o contract_n be_v in_o promise_n it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o purpose_n of_o the_o heart_n nor_o a_o dumb_a show_n or_o doubtful_a signification_n of_o promise_n but_o a_o plain_a promise_n utter_v and_o pronounce_v in_o a_o right_a form_n of_o speech_n as_o when_o one_o say_v i_o do_v promise_n to_o marry_v thou_o or_o i_o do_v

save_v only_o of_o marriage_n now_o we_o mean_v by_o marriage_n not_o only_o the_o party_n marry_v but_o also_o conjugal_a &_o marriage_n duty_n and_o office_n that_o peculiar_o belong_v to_o this_o

to_o the_o alienation_n of_o the_o property_n of_o body_n for_o so_o it_o be_v write_v the_o wife_n have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o she_o 4._o own_o body_n but_o the_o husband_n and_o likewise_o

this_o promise_n be_v the_o principal_a beginner_n and_o worker_n thereof_o because_o they_o that_o promise_v marriage_n do_v necessary_o thereby_o promise_v that_o two_o shall_v become_v one_o

we_o call_v this_o promise_n of_o marriage_n voluntary_a because_o it_o must_v not_o come_v from_o the_o lip_n alone_o but_o from_o the_o well-liking_a and_o consent_n of_o the_o heart_n sor_n if_o
