god_n for_o this_o messiah_n glory_n be_v to_o god_n on_o high_a ver_fw-la 13._o at_o his_o resurrection_n to_o those_o that_o guard_v the_o sepulchre_n matth._n 28._o 3_o 4._o and_o to_o holy_a

both_o yet_o the_o exact_a translation_n in_o latin_a be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o both_o place_n they_o religious_o do_v in_o their_o translation_n follow_v the_o original_a in_o unam_fw-la

the_o five_o verse_n may_v note_v out_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n before_o marriage_n and_o the_o six_o verse_n after_o matrimony_n then_o be_v they_o one_o flesh_n and_o so_o this_o late_a will_v be_v a_o consequent_a of_o the_o former_a three_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a reason_n betwixt_o these_o two_o text_n for_o i_o need_v not_o say_v ask_v the_o scripture_n ask_v the_o

regard_n of_o place_n and_o likewise_o in_o regard_n of_o affection_n and_o none_o be_v so_o simple_a to_o think_v when_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v one_o flesh_n that_o they_o be_v one_o numerical_a and_o individual_a flesh_n but_o now_o ask_v the_o scripture_n and_o ask_v the_o learned_a man_n and_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o these_o three_o be_v one_o in_o nature_n and_o one_o in_o

therefore_o albeit_o in_o sense_n the_o verse_n there_o do_v intend_v one_o thing_n and_o no_o danger_n of_o translate_n both_o alike_o yet_o here_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o difference_n the_o case_n

not_o be_v precorrupted_n that_o it_o shall_v ever_o come_v into_o any_o one_o head_n to_o imagine_v that_o this_o phrase_n three_o be_v one_o do_v signify_v have_v one_o essence_n for_o it_o be_v
