to_o burn_v remember_v yourself_o well_o sure_a you_o think_v all_o gospel_n you_o speak_v well_o what_o will_v you_o infer_v from_o paul_n word_n it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v you_o say_v that_o marriage_n be_v give_v as_o a_o remedy_n of_o that_o trouble_n so_o say_v we_o but_o yet_o not_o proper_o that_o ordination_n of_o marriage_n first_o in_o paradise_n for_o then_o

say_v it_o be_v that_o desire_v which_o god_n put_v in_o adam_n in_o paradise_n before_o he_o know_v the_o sin_n of_o incontinency_n it_o be_v that_o desire_n which_o god_n see_v it_o be_v not_o

any_o indifferent_a man_n but_o to_o consider_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o chapter_n of_o 1_o cor._n 7._o and_o to_o tell_v we_o if_o your_o exposition_n of_o these_o word_n it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v be_v not_o such_o a_o mere_a trifle_n and_o abuse_v the_o scripture_n as_o seldom_o be_v meet_v with_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o just_a paraphrase_n upon_o paul_n word_n if_o your_o exposition_n be_v sound_a i_o paul_n be_o a_o bachelor_n and_o i_o never_o meet_v with_o any_o fit_a and_o meet_v converse_v soul_n to_o fit_v my_o desire_n to_o discourse_v and_o converse_v with_o i_o as_o i_o have_v when_o i_o be_v in_o adam_n but_o i_o speak_v to_o you_o virgin_n and_o widow_n although_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o i_o yet_o it_o be_v good_a if_o you_o can_v remain_v solitary_a without_o any_o fit_a converse_v soul_n to_o discourse_n with_o you_o but_o if_o you_o can_v live_v altogether_o alone_o all_o the_o day_n of_o your_o life_n however_o i_o shift_v for_o myself_o yet_o do_v you_o marry_v viz._n get_v some_o fit_a converse_v soul_n such_o a_o one_o as_o adam_n think_v of_o when_o he_o be_v alone_o in_o the_o garden_n and_o nobody_o create_v but_o he_o for_o it_o be_v better_a for_o you_o see_v you_o can_v live_v always_o alone_o to_o have_v some_o such_o fit_a converse_v soul_n to_o drive_v away_o the_o time_n with_o then_o to_o pine_v away_o like_o a_o dove_n in_o a_o wilderness_n where_o there_o be_v none_o to_o bear_v her_o company_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o your_o exposition_n of_o paul_n when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v the_o relate_n of_o which_o your_o exposition_n be_v enough_o to_o confute_v it_o and_o make_v it_o light_a than_o vanity_n itself_o so_o we_o pass_v to_o your_o three_o argument_n the_o effect_n whereof_o seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o the_o not_o allow_v of_o divorce_n in_o case_n of_o contrariety_n of_o mind_n and_o disposition_n in_o marry_a person_n ●_z will_v be_v a_o ground_n or_o occasion_n of_o their_o desire_n after_o other_o person_n beside_o their_o own_o wife_n because_o when_o a_o man_n find_v no_o contentment_n at_o home_n he_o be_v apt_a to_o look_v for_o the_o same_o abroad_o we_o answer_v you_o what_o if_o he_o do_v look_v abroad_o so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v but_o to_o meet_v with_o a_o fit_a converse_v soul_n answ._n provide_v he_o med●les_v not_o with_o he●_z body_n let_v he_o recreate_v himself_o its_o lawful_a enough_o it_o be_v your_o own_o doctrine_n a_o fit_a converse_v soul_n for_o man_n be_v the_o noble_a end_n of_o marriage_n therefore_o i_o think_v we_o may_v without_o danger_n let_v a_o man_n reins_n loose_a to_o accommodate_v himself_o so_o if_o his_o wife_n have_v not_o such_o a_o fit_a converse_v soul_n as_o she_o shall_v have_v only_o let_v he_o remember_v to_o come_v home_o to_o she_o at_o night_n if_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o you_o mean_v want_n of_o content_a at_o home_n will_v cause_v a_o man_n to_o lust_n unlawful_o after_o the_o body_n of_o other_o man_n wife_n we_o answer_v you_o there_o be_v no_o congruity_n in_o that_o sense_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o book_n answ._n for_o according_a to_o your_o own_o doctrine_n we_o may_v reason_v thus_o that_o desire_n which_o be_v not_o satisfy_v at_o home_n by_o a_o man_n own_o wife_n will_v break_v out_o towards_o other_o man_n wife_n but_o the_o desire_n which_o be_v to_o be_v satisfy_v by_o a_o man_n own_o wife_n be_v that_o she_o be_v a_o fit_a converse_v soul_n ergo_fw-la the_o not_o find_v a_o man_n wife_n a_o fit_a converse_v soul_n will_v not_o endanger_v or_o stir_v up_o any_o other_o desire_v but_o to_o converse_v with_o the_o soul_n of_o other_o man_n wife_n and_o this_o we_o allow_v you_o to_o do_v and_o keep_v your_o own_o still_o but_o enough_o of_o this_o only_o we_o desire_v the_o next_o time_n you_o write_v to_o tell_v we_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o fit_a converse_v soul_n we_o have_v hear_v that_o angel_n converse_v with_o one_o another_o as_o they_o be_v spirit_n but_o for_o husband_n and_o wife_n though_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o love_v in_o word_n only_o but_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n with_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n yet_o we_o know_v no_o converse_v with_o one_o another_o but_o what_o be_v by_o word_n or_o action_n well_o you_o go_v on_o and_o talk_v in_o this_o section_n of_o a_o man_n meet_v instead_o of_o a_o sweet_a cop●rtner_n of_o pleasant_a society_n it_o often_o happen_v that_o young_a man_n who_o have_v put_v their_o chief_a content_n in_o a_o content_a marriage_n yet_o they_o meet_v with_o a_o image_n of_o earth_n and_o phlegm_n we_o confess_v this_o be_v something_o a_o sad_a case_n answ._n but_o yet_o i_o believe_v you_o speak_v but_o hyperbolical_o as_o they_o use_v to_o say_v for_o woman_n be_v usual_o more_o than_o earth_n and_o phlegm_n they_o have_v many_o time_n spirit_n enough_o to_o wear_v the_o breeches_n if_o they_o meet_v not_o with_o a_o rare_a wit_n to_o order_v they_o i_o wonder_v you_o shall_v use_v such_o phrase_n i_o know_v nor_o hear_v of_o any_o maid_n or_o woman_n that_o be_v all_o earth_n and_o phlegm_n much_o less_o image_n of_o earth_n and_o phlegm_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o yet_o you_o need_v take_v no_o thought_n for_o they_o there_o be_v enough_o dull_a

phlegm_n your_o four_o argument_n be_v because_o marriage_n be_v a_o covenant_n arg._n who_o very_a being_n consist_v not_o in_o a_o force_a cohabitation_n or_o a_o counterfeit_a performance_n of_o
