chief_a cause_n why_o woman_n may_v not_o have_v many_o husband_n and_o yet_o man_n may_v have_v many_o wife_n be_v these_o first_o of_o all_o because_o if_o woman_n shall_v have_v many_o husband_n there_o will_v follow_v great_a disturbance_n and_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n for_o see_v no_o husband_n can_v certain_o know_v that_o his_o child_n be_v his_o own_o he_o may_v always_o suspect_v
