of_o divorce_n now_o legal_a among_o christian_n but_o that_o in_o case_n of_o fornication_n c._n i_o can_v define_v any_o because_o christ_n have_v name_v no_o other_o s._n but_o i_o think_v there_o

and_o consequent_o i_o conclude_v that_o christ_n have_v leave_v place_n for_o some_o other_o cause_n beside_o fornication_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v guess_v that_o the_o name_n of_o fornication_n here_o be_v not_o exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o cause_n but_o only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v inferior_a to_o it_o and_o that_o will_v make_v it_o contrary_a enough_o to_o what_o be_v by_o moses_n permit_v to_o wit_n for_o every_o cause_n mat._n 19_o 13._o and_o that_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v find_v any_o other_o cause_n as_o great_a as_o that_o it_o may_v be_v conceive_v comprehend_v under_o that_o example_n name_v of_o fornication_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v bold_a to_o interpose_v my_o opinion_n that_o sure_a if_o the_o wife_n shall_v attempt_v to_o poison_v or_o otherwise_o to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o the_o husband_n this_o will_v be_v as_o unsupportable_a a_o injury_n as_o adultery_n and_o so_o as_o fit_v a_o cause_n of_o a_o divorce_n as_o that_o c._n you_o have_v propose_v a_o objection_n of_o some_o difficulty_n i_o must_v apply_v answer_n to_o it_o by_o divide_v it_o into_o part_n and_o make_v my_o return_n several_o 1._o that_o in_o that_o place_n 1_o cor._n 7._o if_o the_o word_n speak_v i_o not_o the_o lord_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o word_n immediate_o follow_v to_o wit_n those_o which_o you_o name_v your_o collection_n from_o thence_o will_v be_v reasonable_a but_o i_o conceive_v they_o belong_v rather_o to_o the_o 15_o verse_n precise_o that_o in_o case_n the_o unbeleiver_n will_v not_o live_v with_o the_o beleiver_n then_o upon_o she_o or_o his_o departure_n the_o beleiver_n man_n or_o woman_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o bondage_n i._n e._n constrain_v to_o live_v unmarried_a but_o may_v free_o marry_v in_o this_o

preface_n fall_v out_o because_o when_o the_o apostle_n have_v resolve_v to_o say_v this_o that_o he_o may_v say_v it_o seasonable_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o premise_v those_o other_o case_n v_o 12_o 13._o and_o give_v a_o reason_n for_o they_o v_o 14._o and_o then_o this_o v_o 15._o will_v come_v in_o intelligible_o if_o this_o interpretation_n be_v acknowledge_v than_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o whole_a objection_n be_v take_v away_o and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v again_o that_o by_o that_o liberty_n of_o saint_n paul_n the_o woman_n beleiver_n be_v put_v away_o by_o the_o infidel_n husband_n be_v permit_v to_o marry_v again_o which_o seem_v contrary_a to_o christ_n saying_n that_o he_o that_o put_v she_o away_o except_o in_o case_n of_o fornication_n cause_v she_o to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v marry_v she_o commit_v adultery_n for_o if_o in_o any_o case_n but_o fornication_n she_o be_v cause_v to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o he_o that_o marry_v she_o commit_v adultery_n how_o in_o this_o other_o case_n of_o unbelief_n be_v she_o free_a to_o marry_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v also_o 1._o that_o if_o all_o this_o be_v grant_v it_o will_v yet_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o present_a purpose_n for_o it_o conclude_v only_o against_o saint_n paul_n judgement_n that_o he_o do_v contrary_a to_o christ_n in_o give_v this_o liberty_n not_o that_o

which_o saint_n paul_n here_o say_v be_v somewhat_o which_o christ_n have_v not_o say_v before_o and_o so_o a_o example_n of_o i_n not_o the_o lord_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o opposite_a or_o contrary_a to_o what_o christ_n have_v say_v for_o though_o christ_n say_v that_o he_o that_o divorce_v not_o for_o fornication_n cause_v his_o wife_n to_o commit_v adultery_n yet_o sure_o his_o meaning_n be_v only_o that_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v he_o cause_v she_o by_o put_v she_o to_o some_o ill_a exigent_n which_o may_v perhaps_o tempt_v she_o to_o harlotry_n but_o not_o that_o he_o force_v she_o to_o this_o infallible_o or_o irresistible_o for_o sure_a it_o be_v possible_a one_o who_o be_v so_o divorce_v may_v live_v chaste_a yea_o and_o though_o she_o have_v leave_v to_o marry_v live_v single_a ever_o after_o and_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n cause_v she_o to_o commit_v adultery_n you_o may_v be_v assure_v by_o this_o that_o christ_n mention_n it_o only_o as_o a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o man_n fault_n who_o by_o this_o put_v she_o on_o that_o hazard_n of_o which_o he_o be_v no_o whit_n less_o guilty_a though_o she_o resist_v that_o temptation_n and_o escape_v that_o danger_n and_o for_o that_o part_n of_o our_o saviour_n speech_n he_o that_o marry_v she_o that_o be_v divorce_v commit_v adultery_n it_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o matter_n for_o that_o her_o there_o be_v not_o she_o that_n be_v divorce_v for_o some_o other_o cause_n for_o she_o have_v merit_v nothing_o no_o reason_n that_o she_o shall_v be_v punish_v by_o that_o bondage_n

proceed_v to_o the_o second_o and_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v again_o some_o reason_n in_o the_o inference_n if_o first_o saint_n paul_n have_v thus_o affirm_v which_o we_o have_v show_v he_o do_v not_o and_o 2._o there_o can_v be_v produce_v any_o cause_n so_o justifiable_a for_o divorce_n as_o adultery_n be_v but_o of_o this_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o there_o can_v nonebe_fw-ge produce_v because_o in_o all_o consideration_n none_o be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o irreparable_a a_o injury_n as_o this_o none_o that_o repentance_n can_v so_o little_o set_v right_a again_o the_o possibility_n of_o which_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o other_o injury_n be_v not_o think_v fit_a by_o christ_n to_o be_v matter_n of_o divorce_n for_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a some_o other_o sin_n may_v be_v as_o great_a or_o great_a than_o adultery_n as_o idolatry_n heathenism_n for_o example_n yet_o because_o this_o be_v not_o so_o contrary_a to_o and_o destructive_a of_o the_o conjugal_a state_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o cause_n divorce_n by_o saint_n paul_n nor_o as_o appear_v by_o christ_n neither_o though_o to_o cause_n damnation_n which_o be_v far_o great_a
