no_o just_a cause_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o husband_n to_o divorce_v his_o wife_n he_o will_v absolute_o have_v speak_v it_o thus_o for_o no_o cause_n whatsoever_o and_o not_o have_v assign_v

that_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n do_v enjoin_v they_o together_o that_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o divorce_n he_o present_o and_o immediate_o mention_n a_o marriage_n of_o both_o party_n in_o the_o 5_o chap_v of_o the_o woman_n and_o in_o the_o 19_o of_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o be_v say_v whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n save_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n cause_v

commit_v but_o she_o marry_v another_o husband_n and_o the_o marriage_n with_o the_o first_o hold_v still_o and_o not_o be_v dissolve_v because_o fornication_n which_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o divorce_n do_v not_o intervene_v than_o such_o marriage_n be_v mere_a adultery_n so_o then_o the_o husband_n who_o have_v unlawful_o divorce_v his_o wife_n if_o he_o marry_v another_o commit_v adultery_n and_o the_o wife_n that_o be_v thus_o unlawful_o divorce_v if_o she_o marry_v another_o husband_n do_v also_o commit_v adultery_n but_o neither_o husband_n nor_o wife_n if_o lawful_o
