religion_n and_o useful_a in_o the_o world_n for_o what_o be_v all_o man_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n but_o so_o many_o monument_n of_o marriage_n blessing_n what_o be_v it_o else_o

for_o their_o offspring_n whereas_o god_n know_v they_o have_v too_o too_o often_o very_o little_a cause_n to_o be_v kind_a and_o love_a oh_o how_o do_v they_o rejoice_v at_o the_o bloom_a hope_n

will_v not_o say_v that_o marriage_n be_v a_o sacrament_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v affirm_v there_o be_v something_o sacramental_a imply_v that_o mutual_a love_n and_o dearness_n that_o

however_o that_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v accomplish_v i_o take_v the_o word_n to_o denote_v god_n intention_n to_o make_v they_o one_o again_o in_o a_o bond_n of_o marriage_n he_o offer_v she_o to_o

this_o transaction_n may_v be_v consider_v that_o bond_n and_o union_n which_o result_v from_o hence_o even_o such_o a_o one_o as_o seem_v to_o cancel_v or_o at_o least_o 104._o to_o take_v place_n of_o all_o other_o obligation_n 24._o therefore_o say_v adam_n shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n and_o his_o mother_n and_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v one_o
