tho'_o the_o husband_n fornication_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o faith_n promise_v and_o give_v his_o wife_n yet_o god_n do_v not_o allow_v the_o man_n but_o only_o the_o woman_n adultery_n to_o be_v

one_o be_v capital_a the_o other_o not_o about_o this_o here_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v make_v a_o great_a alteration_n for_o theft_n when_o it_o reach_v to_o a_o very_a small_a sum_n which_o may_v be_v call_v as_o little_a as_o nothing_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n when_o adultery_n be_v not_o which_o be_v quite_o the_o contrary_a of_o what_o among_o the_o jew_n be_v practise_v i_o know_v that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v abolish_v do_v not_o at_o all_o oblige_v we_o but_o the_o moral_a we_o be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o as_o they_o be_v as_o to_o their_o judicial_a law_n those_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o ceremonial_a indeed_o do_v not_o tie_v we_o in_o the_o least_o but_o those_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o moral_a and_o be_v part_n and_o explanation_n thereof_o do_v now_o one_o will_v think_v it_o have_v be_v better_a in_o this_o kind_n of_o law_n to_o have_v follow_v the_o pattern_n of_o those_o which_o god_n give_v his_o people_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n but_o our_o lawgiver_n think_v fit_a to_o do_v otherwise_o and_o we_o may_v suppose_v they_o have_v some_o reason_n for_o it_o if_o there_o be_v any_o in_o and_o for_o such_o thing_n for_o indeed_o sometime_o such_o circumstance_n happen_v as_o do_v much_o aggravate_v the_o nature_n of_o crime_n as_o when_o they_o grow_v epidemical_a too_o common_a and_o too_o frequent_a too_o bold_a and_o presumptuous_a then_o to_o prevent_v the_o spread_v and_o other_o dangerous_a consequence_n thereof_o the_o legislative_a power_n do_v well_o and_o wise_o and_o god_n law_n allow_v they_o so_o to_o do_v to_o put_v strong_a curb_v and_o lie_v great_a penalty_n upon_o offender_n the_o civil_a power_n be_v allow_v to_o enforce_v the_o observation_n of_o god_n law_n but_o have_v no_o dispense_v

commandment_n than_o there_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n much_o more_o may_v the_o same_o power_n revive_v those_o penalty_n which_o once_o be_v inflict_v by_o god_n law_n and_o make_v adultery_n a_o capital_a crime_n as_o it_o be_v among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n certain_o nothing_o can_v be_v say_v tho'_o never_o so_o much_o for_o change_v the_o penalty_n for_o theft_n but_o there_o be_v more_o for_o renew_v the_o punishment_n which_o by_o god_n special_a precept_n be_v lay_v upon_o adultery_n for_o now_o that_o filthy_a sin_n be_v as_o common_a frequent_a and_o brazenfaced_n and_o odious_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v or_o at_o this_o time_n theft_n can_v be_v wherefore_o the_o penalty_n for_o adultery_n shall_v now_o be_v death_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v no_o justice_n equity_n nor_o sound_v reason_n to_o punish_v with_o death_n one_o who_o steal_v half_o a_o crown_n from_o i_o and_o let_v another_o who_o with_o bring_v in_o strange_a blood_n into_o my_o family_n rob_v it_o of_o thousand_o and_o thousand_o to_o go_v unpunished_a this_o with_o humble_a submission_n i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v too_o much_o for_o man_n with_o their_o tradition_n to_o

for_o fornication_n be_v joint_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o both_o point_n of_o put_v away_o and_o marry_v another_o so_o if_o he_o may_v put_v away_o he_o may_v afterward_o marry_v another_o in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n where_o the_o question_n be_v about_o divorce_n it_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o upon_o some_o certain_a ground_n it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o person_n lawful_o marry_v to_o make_v such_o a_o divorce_n as_o the_o party_n may_v marry_v other_o and_o the_o jew_n never_o know_v of_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o divorce_n but_o that_o and_o this_o we_o have_v instance_n of_o here_o among_o we_o in_o the_o new-testament_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n never_o give_v other_o definition_n of_o a_o true_a divorce_n than_o this_o when_o it_o be_v lawful_o make_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o innocent_a to_o marry_v again_o in_o matth._n 19_o he_o speak_v but_o of_o two_o kind_n of_o divorce_n one_o unlawful_a contrary_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o matrimony_n when_o upon_o any_o unjust_a ground_n a_o man_n divorce_v his_o wife_n the_o other_o lawful_a which_o be_v upon_o a_o lawful_a cause_n

and_o if_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v by_o god_n the_o adulteress_n be_v put_v to_o death_n there_o will_v be_v no_o ground_n leave_v for_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o man_n may_v marry_v another_o wife_n and_o i_o think_v it_o a_o sufficient_a mitigation_n of_o god_n law_n here_o to_o spare_v her_o life_n when_o in_o many_o other_o country_n the_o
