object_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v object_v that_o without_o the_o public_a testimony_n of_o the_o marriage_n by_o the_o priest_n and_o bishop_n the_o woman_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o desertion_n by_o the_o man_n after_o he_o have_v devirginate_v and_o get_v she_o with_o child_n whereas_o she_o have_v the_o say_v public_a testimony_n of_o the_o bishop_n if_o the_o man_n take_v another_o woman_n to_o church_n and_o marry_v she_o by_o the_o law_n he_o shall_v be_v hang_v answer_n to_o which_o be_v answer_v that_o this_o law_n or_o penalty_n do_v no_o way_n prevent_v the_o desertion_n for_o though_o the_o law_n which_o theodora_n get_v her_o husband_n justinian_n to_o make_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v death_n for_o the_o husband_n to_o lie_v with_o any_o other_o woman_n but_o his_o wife_n may_v perhaps_o have_v something_o restrain_v the_o man_n yet_o this_o law_n that_o the_o husband_n shall_v marry_v no_o other_o woman_n in_o church_n signify_v nothing_o of_o restrain_v he_o from_o lie_v with_o a_o hundred_o elsewhere_o object_n 2_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o wife_n if_o there_o be_v no_o public_a witness_n may_v desert_n her_o husband_n for_o another_o man_n whereas_o now_o if_o she_o go_v to_o church_n with_o another_o man_n and_o be_v marry_v to_o he_o while_o her_o husband_n be_v alive_a she_o shall_v be_v hang_v answer_n to_o which_o be_v answer_v that_o though_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n levit._n 20.10_o which_o make_v adultery_n in_o a_o wife_n death_n may_v perhaps_o something_o have_v restrain_v the_o woman_n the_o present_a law_n

the_o other_o man_n lie_v with_o the_o woman_n if_o she_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o another_o which_o it_o appear_v she_o have_v otherwise_o she_o will_v not_o have_v band_n herself_o open_o with_o he_o
