have_v give_v no_o power_n to_o a_o judge_n to_o permit_v wicked_a man_n to_o commit_v grievous_a crime_n without_o any_o punishment_n as_o for_o the_o law_n of_o divorce_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o

but_o that_o god_n have_v give_v any_o such_o permissive_a power_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o can_v be_v resist_v this_o be_v in_o question_n 3._o the_o law_n
