and_o one_o say_v 3_o be_v it_o not_o bathsheba_n the_o daughter_n of_o 5_o eliam_fw-la the_o wife_n of_o urias_n the_o hittite_n to_o what_o end_n be_v this_o curious_a enquiry_n paradventure_o some_o will_v say_v he_o do_v it_o with_o a_o intention_n to_o marry_v she_o also_o if_o she_o have_v be_v without_o a_o husband_n it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o she_o be_v

scripture_n resort_n to_o grave_n and_o godly_a company_n and_o use_v all_o good_a mean_n to_o quench_v such_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o say_v with_o holy_a job_n 1_o i_o have_v make_v

and_o beautiful_a say_v the_o flesh_n yea_o but_o she_o be_v another_o man_n wife_n say_v the_o spirit_n 4_o marriage_n be_v honourable_a among_o all_o man_n and_o the_o bed_n undefiled_a but_o whoremonger_n and_o adulterer_n god_n will_v judge_v o_o thou_o be_v a_o king_n and_o may_v command_v she_o say_v the_o flesh_n yea_o but_o there_o be_v a_o king_n of_o king_n say_v the_o spirit_n to_o who_o all_o earthly_a king_n must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o their_o action_n 10_o we_o all_o both_o king_n and_o subject_n must_v appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v do_v in_o the_o flesh_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n oh_o there_o be_v many_o example_n of_o it_o say_v the_o flesh_n yea_o
