from_o the_o shall_v perish_v thou_o have_v destroy_v every_o one_o that_o have_v go_v by_o fornication_n from_o thou_o but_o because_o it_o be_v after_o that_o sort_n lawful_a 18_o that_o it_o be_v

for_o she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v prohibit_v because_o justice_n suffer_v to_o go_v away_o from_o a_o fornicator_n &_o a_o infidele_n man_n have_v in_o his_o heart_n the_o great_a fornication_n nor_o his_o chastitee_n with_o his_o wife_n can_v not_o be_v call_v true_a because_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n although_o a_o christian_n woman_n may_v have_v true_a chastity_n with_o a_o infidele_n husband_n that_o have_v no_o true_a chastity_n therefore_o the_o christian_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v command_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o infideles_fw-la because_o they_o be_v

not_o expedient_a it_o be_v than_o expedient_a when_o not_o only_o by_o righteousness_n before_o god_n it_o be_v permit_v but_o also_o when_o man_n receive_v of_o it_o no_o impediment_n to_o

because_o it_o so_o releve_v by_o the_o honesty_n of_o marriage_n the_o infirmity_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o flesh_n which_o be_v ever_o prone_a to_o fall_v to_o all_o unlawful_a thing_n that_o it_o stop_v

than_o also_o a_o lauful_a thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a when_o it_o be_v permit_v but_o the_o use_n of_o that_o liberty_n and_o power_n bring_v to_o other_o a_o impediment_n of_o salvation_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v long_o the_o depart_n of_o a_o christian_n man_n or_o wife_n from_o a_o infidele_fw-la which_o the_o lord_n forbid_v not_o by_o commandment_n of_o law_n because_o it_o be_v not_o unjust_a before_o he_o but_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v it_o by_o the_o counsel_n of_o charytie_n because_o it_o be_v to_o the_o infidel_n a_o impediment_n of_o salvation_n not_o only_o for_o that_o they_o be_v very_o pernicious_o offend_v but_o also_o for_o that_o when_o they_o fall_v and_o join_v theim selue_o in_o other_o maryage_n their_o wyve_n be_v

where_o that_o be_v lawful_a be_v not_o expedyent_n 19_o it_o may_v not_o be_v say_v if_o she_o put_v away_o the_o infidel_n she_o do_v well_o if_o she_o put_v he_o not_o away_o she_o do_v better_a as_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o gyve_v to_o marriage_n do_v well_o and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o gyve_v to_o marriage_n do_v better_a for_o in_o that_o second_o part_v not_o only_a both_o be_v

neither_o of_o they_o but_o yet_o both_o be_v not_o expedient_a for_o the_o infyrmity_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v that_o be_v not_o expedient_a the_o lord_n geve_v he_o

either_o to_o take_v thing_n that_o be_v better_o or_o to_o beware_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o expedient_a on_o the_o one_o side_n let_v the_o apostle_n be_v hear_v â–ª_o saiing_n i_o have_v no_o
