pharisy_n to_o our_o saviour_n christ_n concern_v divorcement_n of_o wife_n from_o their_o husband_n and_o by_o a_o consequent_a of_o husband_n from_o their_o wife_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a or_o no_o the_o answer_n be_v negative_a that_o no_o divorcement_n be_v lawful_a for_o first_o he_o show_v that_o no_o man_n may_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n for_o any_o cause_n second_o he_o prove_v it_o

live_v because_o she_o can_v marry_v no_o other_o while_o he_o live_v for_o these_o three_o conclusion_n do_v necessary_o follow_v the_o first_o if_o the_o put_v away_o of_o a_o man_n wife_n be_v of_o this_o nature_n that_o still_o she_o continue_v his_o wife_n than_o it_o be_v no_o divorcement_n the_o second_o if_o the_o put_v away_o of_o a_o man_n wife_n be_v of_o that_o effect_n that_o she_o be_v no_o long_o his_o wife_n then_o he_o be_v no_o long_o her_o husband_n the_o three_o if_o she_o be_v no_o more_o his_o wife_n she_o may_v marry_v a_o other_o and_o if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o her_o husband_n he_o may_v marry_v a_o other_o therefore_o the_o knot_n of_o matrimony_n be_v dissolve_v and_o both_o be_v free_a but_o our_o saviour_n teach_v that_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v at_o liberty_n to_o marry_v again_o therefore_o that_o the_o bond_n of_o matrimony_n remain_v firm_a and_o therefore_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o divorcement_n these_o thing_n be_v easy_o apprehend_v
