lewd_a practice_n and_o thus_o in_o defiance_n to_o the_o law_n of_o your_o religion_n and_o to_o his_o own_o personal_a hurt_n one_o great_a overgrow_a christian_n shall_v spend_v as_o much_o in_o

as_o your_o most_o illuminate_v prophet_n say_v will_v not_o touch_v they_o yourselves_o with_o one_o finger_n so_o that_o you_o make_v it_o a_o genteel_a quality_n and_o honourable_a to_o break_v
