sit_v rome_n too_o be_v of_o ecclesiastical_a cognizance_n now_o there_o be_v both_o in_o law_n and_o the_o nature_n and_o the_o consequence_n of_o they_o a_o great_a difference_n between_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a cause_n many_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v but_o be_v not_o my_o business_n i_o shall_v only_o set_v down_o two_o or_o three_o thus_o first_o have_v it_o be_v a_o action_n of_o debt_n and_o the_o sentence_n at_o turin_n have_v be_v that_o mr._n cottington_n shall_v pay_v 500_o l._n to_o gallina_n admit_v also_o that_o no_o such_o debt_n be_v due_a and_o so_o the_o sentence_n unjust_a and_o admit_v that_o at_o gallina_n instance_n that_o sentence_n have_v be_v confirm_v and_o execute_v here_o in_o england_n and_o mr._n cottington_n compel_v to_o pay_v that_o summ._n it_o may_v be_v a_o piece_n of_o injustice_n and_o a_o sin_n in_o the_o 165._o judge_n to_o sentence_v he_o to_o pay_v what_o be_v no_o way_n due_a but_o as_o to_o mr._n cottington_n it_o may_v be_v his_o calamity_n be_v compel_v to_o pay_v what_o he_o do_v not_o owe_v but_o his_o crime_n it_o can_v not_o be_v it_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o compel_v by_o his_o judge_n to_o pay_v that_o money_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o due_a for_o he_o may_v lawful_o have_v give_v gallina_n so_o much_o money_n without_o and_o before_o any_o compulsory_a decree_n and_o that_o decree_n can_v not_o make_v it_o to_o he_o unlawful_a but_o in_o our_o present_a matrimonial_a case_n it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o nullity_n in_o the_o contract_n and_o the_o sentence_n at_o turin_n unjust_a and_o if_o upon_o that_o sentence_n it_o be_v decree_v here_o that_o mr._n cottington_n shall_v cohabit_v with_o gallina_n here_o obedience_n to_o that_o unjust_a sentence_n will_v not_o only_o be_v his_o calamity_n but_o his_o crime_n because_o in_o this_o case_n he_o co-habit_n with_o another_o man_n wife_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o adultery_n nor_o will_v the_o judge_n sentence_n require_v such_o co-habitation_n any_o way_n excuse_v he_o and_o on_o this_o consideration_n it_o high_o concern_v the_o judge_n in_o this_o case_n to_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o nullity_n lest_o they_o sentence_n mr._n cottington_n to_o cohabit_v with_o another_o man_n wife_n and_o so_o to_o sin_n and_o commit_v adultery_n but_o if_o they_o do_v quod_fw-la absit_fw-la it_o as_o high_o concern_v mr._n cottington_n to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n and_o though_o he_o suffer_v for_o it_o here_o rather_o disobey_v a_o unjust_a sentence_n of_o a_o earthly_a judge_n than_o the_o eternal_o just_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o suffer_v for_o it_o for_o ever_o hereafter_o second_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v ecclesiastical_a law_n particular_o about_o the_o validity_n and_o nullity_n of_o matrimonial_a contract_n which_o neither_o be_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v approve_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o 1._o they_o admit_v the_o oath_n and_o confession_n of_o the_o party_n desire_v sentence_n for_o divorce_n or_o nullity_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o present_a case_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n 105._o admit_v not_o 2._o it_o be_v their_o general_o receive_a opinion_n that_o although_o the_o matrimonium_fw-la be_v indeed_o ratum_fw-la yet_o a_o papal_a dispensation_n may_v dissolve_v the_o

court_n whatsoever_o and_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n of_o the_o prohibition_n which_o the_o statute_n do_v instance_n in_o because_o king_n neither_o the_o necessary_a proof_n nor_o the_o true_a

seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v against_o the_o true_a intent_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o good_a statute_n to_o conclude_v i_o do_v and_o must_v confess_v that_o of_o the_o law_n i_o have_v venture_v to_o

without_o any_o severe_a censure_n pardon_v they_o but_o for_o the_o theological_a part_n of_o the_o controversy_n and_o the_o case_n of_o conscience_n wherein_o his_o judge_n in_o the_o

oblige_v she_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o her_o former_a husband_n and_o of_o her_o faith_n before_o solemn_o give_v to_o another_o and_o so_o absolute_o null_a and_o in_o itself_o void_a second_o it_o

with_o mr._n cottington_n will_v be_v lawful_a and_o valid_a and_o he_o oblige_v to_o cohabit_v with_o she_o as_o her_o undoubted_a husband_n now_o in_o the_o case_n propose_v i_o find_v but_o two_o
