the_o apostle_n have_v answer_v nothing_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o who_o have_v put_v the_o question_n to_o he_o about_o put_v away_o a_o unbelieved_a wife_n for_o it_o seem_v the_o

as_o well_o from_o the_o one_o as_o from_o the_o other_o since_o marriage_n be_v a_o ordinance_n not_o peculiar_a to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o common_a unto_o all_o mankind_n by_o this_o answer_n of_o he_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o jewish_a scruple_n that_o do_v trouble_v they_o namely_o whereas_o under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o one_o of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o marry_v a_o strange_a wife_n that_o be_v one_o who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o such_o case_n they_o be_v command_v to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n and_o to_o

be_v not_o lawful_a but_o do_v cause_n pollution_n to_o the_o believer_n that_o then_o their_o child_n must_v not_o be_v repute_v holy_a but_o unclean_a or_o common_a so_o as_o if_o they_o will_v deny_v the_o wife_n marriage_n communion_n upon_o that_o account_n they_o must_v deny_v their_o child_n all_o spiritual_a communion_n in_o the_o church_n for_o such_o be_v the_o law_n to_o the_o jew_n
