2._o as_o christian_n you_o be_v marry_v to_o the_o lord_n he_o have_v divorce_v you_o from_o your_o first_o husband_n which_o be_v the_o flesh_n which_o you_o be_v in_o league_n with_o and_o

her_o fruit_n as_o by_o himself_o and_o not_o by_o another_o so_o to_o himself_o and_o not_o to_o another_o also_o now_o this_o be_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n when_o the_o fruit_n we_o bring_v forth_o we_o bring_v it_o forth_o not_o to_o ourselves_o but_o unto_o he_o and_o we_o know_v also_o by_o the_o law_n of_o marriage_n the_o wife_n be_v not_o her_o own_o but_o her_o husband_n and_o have_v
