her_o husband_n when_o she_o marry_v with_o he_o but_o the_o apostle_n say_v she_o must_v continue_v in_o love_n why_o then_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o love_n she_o must_v perform_v unto_o her_o

pure_a metal_n which_o may_v be_v so_o it_o teach_v the_o woman_n that_o the_o love_n she_o must_v perform_v unno_fw-la her_z husband_n must_v be_v pure_a holy_a and_o chaste_a it_o must_v allow_v no_o mixture_n no_o copartner_n in_o this_o fellowship_n but_o she_o must_v remember_v to_o perform_v the_o vow_n she_o make_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o before_o his_o saint_n at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o marriage_n that_o she_o will_v keep_v herself_o only_o unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o she_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o and_o this_o you_o see_v the_o ceremony_n or_o use_n of_o the_o

at_o such_o time_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o now_o i_o have_v begin_v to_o speak_v of_o this_o vow_n which_o the_o woman_n make_v unto_o her_o husband_n at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o marriage_n it_o give_v i_o a_o occasion_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o small_a regard_n that_o woman_n for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v take_v of_o this_o business_n for_o if_o we_o note_v the_o conversation_n of_o marriage_n a_o woman_n ought_v to_o have_v regard_n of_o the_o vow_n that_o she_o make_v at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o marriage_n wife_n unto_o their_o husband_n in_o these_o time_n it_o will_v appear_v as_o i_o say_v for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o they_o never_o regard_v that_o vow_n they_o make_v or_o know_v that_o they_o have_v make_v any_o at_o all_o for_o sure_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o so_o brutish_a they_o know_v it_o not_o but_o rather_o think_v they_o be_v but_o word_n of_o course_n or_o ceremonial_a rite_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o concern_v they_o at_o all_o yea_o i_o do_v know_v there_o be_v such_o but_o alas_o their_o error_n be_v exceed_v great_a in_o take_v so_o little_a regard_n of_o so_o weighty_a a_o cause_n but_o i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o

and_o a_o great_a vow_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o her_o life_n she_o can_v make_v a_o great_a for_o if_o a_o woman_n shall_v say_v or_o protest_v 5._o numb_a 5._o she_o will_v do_v such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n this_o be_v a_o vow_n she_o bind_v herself_o to_o perform_v it_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o her_o husband_n hear_v she_o shall_v disallow_v of_o it_o and_o shall_v say_v she_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o she_o be_v then_o free_v from_o her_o vow_n because_o of_o his_o authority_n over_o she_o and_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n shall_v forgive_v she_o for_o vow_v so_o we_o see_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o a_o woman_n to_o vow_n or_o protest_v to_o do_v any_o
thing_n if_o she_o perform_v it_o not_o unless_o it_o be_v contradict_v by_o her_o husband_n but_o here_o the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o and_o far_o more_o great_a for_o when_o she_o come_v to_o be_v

how_o great_a a_o sin_n it_o be_v to_o break_v the_o vow_n make_v in_o matrimony_n will_v and_o therefore_o her_o vow_n she_o then_o make_v be_v of_o very_o great_a effect_n and_o it_o be_v as_o

she_o then_o there_o answer_v she_o will_n so_o we_o find_v when_o god_n have_v determine_v to_o give_v his_o choose_a people_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n his_o law_n whereby_o they_o may_v know_v

19_o exâ—_n 19_o his_o will_n he_o will_v send_v his_o punishment_n matrimony_n a_o proof_n by_o example_n that_o god_n will_v punish_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o vow_n make_v in_o matrimony_n upon_o
