indulgence_n of_o marry_v because_o if_o he_o once_o fornicate_v he_o then_o may_v lawful_o marry_v since_o the_o apostle_n in_o say_v it_o be_v better_a to_o marry_v then_o to_o fornicate_v have_v allow_v if_o not_o command_v he_o to_o choose_v the_o better_a and_o to_o leave_v the_o worse_o and_o whereas_o you_o appeal_v to_o the_o precedent_a word_n if_o they_o can_v contain_v let_v they_o

they_o can_v contain_v be_v no_o more_o than_o if_o they_o burn_v and_o if_o they_o burn_v in_o your_o gloss_n be_v no_o less_o than_o if_o they_o fornicate_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o according_a to_o your_o new_a gloss_n saint_n paul_n have_v say_v if_o they_o fornicate_v let_v they_o marry_v and_o this_o be_v yet_o more_o palpable_a as_o the_o same_o rule_n be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o
