a_o counsel_n which_o he_o give_v for_o widow_n to_o abstain_v from_o marriage_n in_o which_o therefore_o those_o his_o word_n not_o our_o lord_n but_o i_o have_v place_n and_o indeed_o as_o s._n paul_n if_o he_o have_v speak_v only_o the_o dictate_v of_o humane_a reason_n and_o be_v subject_n to_o error_n when_o he_o say_v v._o 10.11_o to_o they_o that_o be_v join_v in_o matrimony_n not_o i_o give_v commandment_n but_o our_o lord_n that_o the_o wife_n depart_v not_o from_o her_o husband_n and_o let_v not_o the_o husband_n put_v away_o his_o wife_n have_v put_v a_o great_a command_n upon_o christian_n for_o which_o he_o have_v no_o certainty_n or_o warrant_n so_o also_o counsel_v perpetual_a chastity_n as_o the_o best_a if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o indeed_o as_o he_o may_v err_v if_o he_o speak_v only_o by_o humane_a prudence_n he_o have_v much_o diminish_v the_o natural_a freedom_n which_o people_n have_v to_o marry_v or_o perpetual_o live_v chaste_a for_o though_o he_o do_v not_o command_v it_o yet_o to_o person_n of_o timorous_a conscience_n and_o desirous_a to_o do_v what_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o be_v most_o perfect_a such_o a_o counsel_n from_o such_o a_o person_n can_v not_o but_o much_o move_n and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v more_o than_o incline_v they_o thereto_o for_o the_o corinthian_n in_o those_o question_n which_o they_o propose_v and_o s._n paul_n answer_v in_o this_o chapter_n have_v recourse_n to_o he_o not_o as_o to_o a_o wise_a man_n only_o or_o as_o a_o private_a person_n for_o dictate_v of_o humane_a reason_n but_o as_o to_o a_o apostle_n from_o who_o they_o expect_v undoubted_a answer_n by_o revelation_n from_o god_n upon_o which_o they_o may_v secure_o build_v their_o christian_a faith_n in_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n and_o as_o they_o believe_v he_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n command_n against_o divorce_n so_o they_o believe_v he_o advise_v chastity_n and_o suppose_v they_o may_v do_v it_o as_o safe_o in_o both_o as_o in_o one_o for_o point_v of_o s._n paul_n be_v inspire_v and_o this_o consideration_n urge_v so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o the_o corinthian_n be_v like_a to_o find_v great_a difficulty_n in_o those_o point_n for_o virgin_n to_o remain_v always_o such_o and_o for_o widow_n to_o abstain_v from_o a_o second_o marriage_n in_o regard_n they_o be_v much_o give_v to_o sensual_a delight_n as_o writer_n have_v observe_v and_o appear_v out_o of_o s._n paul_n in_o divers_a place_n and_o therefore_o to_o exhort_v they_o in_o those_o beginning_n to_o perpetual_a chastity_n have_v be_v both_o burden_n some_o and_o dangerous_a to_o they_o and_o not_o safe_a for_o s._n paul_n himself_o if_o he_o have_v do_v it_o without_o certainty_n communicate_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n 41._o thus_o we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v v._n 35._o counsel_v virginity_n present_o v._n 36_o add_v and_o this_o i_o speak_v to_o your_o profit_n not_o to_o cast_v a_o snare_n upon_o you_o as_o like_o wise_a have_v say_v v._o 27._o be_v thou_o loose_v from_o a_o wife_n seek_v not_o a_o wife_n he_o add_v v._o 18_o but_o if_o thou_o take_v a_o wife_n thou_o have_v not_o sin_v and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o very_a preposterous_a conceit_n to_o say_v that_o in_o the_o first_o part_n seek_v not_o a_o wife_n which_o be_v a_o counsel_n he_o utter_v only_o a_o dictate_v of_o prudence_n and_o in_o the_o second_o if_o thou_o take_v a_o wife_n thou_o have_v not_o sin_v which_o imply_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n he_o speak_v by_o inspiration_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o bring_v all_o the_o writing_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o a_o uncertainty_n and_o as_o i_o say_v above_o by_o the_o like_a occasion_n to_o make_v holy_a scripture_n
