by_o force_n be_v put_v away_o yet_o he_o will_v by_o this_o law_n compel_v the_o husband_n to_o give_v she_o a_o bill_n of_o divorce_n which_o shall_v be_v a_o token_n to_o her_o father_n and_o her_o

she_o will_v have_v be_v judge_v a_o whore_n and_o a_o wander_a vagrant_a and_o so_o will_v scarce_o have_v be_v receive_v into_o her_o father_n house_n so_o that_o moses_n may_v seem_v here_o not_o to_o give_v any_o law_n of_o divorce_n but_o rather_o a_o law_n to_o compel_v such_o of_o the_o jew_n who_o in_o their_o cruelty_n and_o from_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n will_v unjust_o and_o by_o force_n put_v away_o their_o wife_n to_o make_v they_o a_o writing_n of_o divorce_n and_o to_o give_v it_o she_o which_o shall_v be_v a_o testimony_n for_o the_o woman_n after_o she_o

she_o away_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n we_o conceive_v three_o thing_n make_v to_o this_o purpose_n 1._o because_o i_o find_v no_o law_n of_o divorce_n allow_v man_n to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n before_o this_o law_n if_o in_o case_n this_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v such_o a_o law_n aâ—d_fw-mi yet_o i_o find_v divorce_n practise_v by_o the_o jew_n therefore_o levit._n 21.14_o it_o be_v command_v to_o the_o priest_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o marry_v a_o widow_n or_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v divorce_v which_o imply_v there_o be_v some_o woman_n divorce_v now_o if_o divorce_n be_v practise_v and_o no_o law_n allow_v it_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v this_o place_n of_o deut._n 24.1_o be_v a_o law_n to_o remedy_v the_o extremity_n of_o their_o unlawful_a divorce_n by_o compel_v they_o to_o make_v a_o bill_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v put_v away_o and_o not_o a_o law_n either_o command_v or_o allow_v the_o divorce_n itself_o 2._o it_o seem_v to_o appear_v from_o the_o connexion_n of_o the_o word_n he_o shall_v give_v she_o a_o bill_n of_o divorce_n that_o when_o she_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o his_o house_n she_o may_v become_v the_o wife_n of_o another_o man_n so_o that_o the_o bill_n seem_v mere_o to_o be_v make_v for_o her_o benefit_n 3._o the_o text_n here_o allow_v the_o woman_n to_o marry_v again_o she_o be_v the_o suffer_a party_n and_o unjust_o put_v away_o but_o he_o be_v the_o offend_n it_o speak_v nothing_o of_o allow_v he_o to_o marry_v again_o so_o it_o seem_v the_o provision_n of_o the_o bill_n of_o divorce_n be_v for_o her_o benefit_n only_o object_n against_o this_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v object_v matth._n 19_o and_o mark_n 10.10_o the_o pharisee_n when_o they_o have_v ask_v if_o a_o man_n may_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o every_o cause_n matth._n 19.3_o christ_n answer_v that_o god_n at_o the_o beginning_n make_v they_o male_a and_o female_a and_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n and_o cleave_v unto_o his_o wife_n the_o pharisee_n upon_o this_o ask_v christ_n why_o moses_n do_v command_v to_o give_v a_o writing_n of_o divorce_n and_o to_o put_v she_o away_o then_o christ_n answer_v moses_n because_o of_o the_o hardness_n of_o your_o heart_n suffer_v you_o to_o put_v away_o your_o wife_n but_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o so_o that_o some_o may_v say_v christ_n here_o seem_v to_o affirm_v not_o only_o the_o bill_n of_o divorce_n to_o be_v of_o moses_n but_o even_o the_o divorce_n itself_o answ._n it_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v so_o but_o rather_o that_o christ_n answer_v the_o pharisee_n according_a to_o their_o opinion_n of_o moses_n law_n and_o he_o grant_v they_o that_o in_o some_o sort_n moses_n may_v be_v say_v to_o suffâ—r_n man_n to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n because_o he_o command_v the_o bill_n to_o be_v make_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o woman_n the_o suffer_a party_n but_o say_v christ_n from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o that_o man_n shall_v put_v away_o their_o wife_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v neither_o be_v this_o bill_n then_o invent_v and_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o christ_n word_n we_o answer_v to_o your_o text_n deut._n 24.1_o in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o if_o the_o other_o two_o satisfy_v not_o â—_z then_o may_v that_o be_v a_o good_a positive_a law_n make_v by_o moses_n during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o jewish_a polity_n or_o government_n proper_o call_v mosaical_a yet_o now_o christ_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v aboliâ—hed_v that_o law_n to_o all_o his_o follower_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o of_o christ_n matth._n 5.31_o 32._o it_o be_v say_v unto_o of_o old_a that_o

except_o it_o be_v for_o cause_n of_o fornication_n cause_v she_o to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o whosoeur_n shall_v marry_v she_o that_o be_v divorce_v commit_v adultery_n this_o place_n of_o our_o saviour_n concerning_o divorce_n may_v seem_v not_o to_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o reform_v the_o false_a gloss_n of_o the_o pharisee_n concerning_o divorce_n as_o it_o be_v usual_o think_v but_o rather_o to_o show_v the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o require_v more_o mutual_a love_n and_o pass_v by_o injury_n then_o the_o law_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v under_o moses_n where_o there_o be_v many_o duty_n require_v and_o yet_o through_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o dispensation_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n there_o be_v little_a grace_n and_o power_n to_o perform_v what_o be_v require_v than_o the_o law_n of_o divorce_n do_v merciful_o bear_v with_o the_o infirmity_n of_o people_n and_o during_o the_o time_n of_o this_o dispensation_n this_o law_n of_o divorce_n be_v a_o good_a positive_a law_n but_o now_o whosoever_o will_v be_v my_o follower_n and_o profess_v himself_o to_o have_v receive_v the_o plenteous_a grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o must_v be_v so_o far_o from_o use_v hardship_n or_o unkindness_n to_o his_o wife_n or_o other_o to_o who_o he_o be_v near_o bind_v that_o he_o must_v not_o revenge_v wrong_n do_v from_o stranger_n and_o enemy_n but_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o bless_v they_o he_o must_v be_v so_o far_o from_o turn_v his_o wife_n out_o of_o door_n for_o her_o ill_a carriage_n yea_o although_o it_o shall_v proceed_v to_o curse_v and_o persecute_v he_o that_o he_o must_v use_v all_o mildness_n and_o love_n and_o godly_a mean_n to_o reform_v she_o compare_v this_o with_o verse_n 43_o 44._o and_o indeed_o with_o all_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n and_o you_o will_v find_v the_o drift_n of_o christ_n to_o give_v as_o it_o be_v new_a enlargement_n of_o law_n under_o the_o gospel_n require_v more_o spiritualness_n in_o observation_n than_o the_o mosaical_a government_n this_o interpretation_n i_o can_v conceive_v to_o be_v either_o contrary_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o chapter_n which_o principal_o be_v to_o
