in_o matter_n belong_v to_o their_o soul_n 3._o for_o in_o this_o case_n all_o this_o law_n of_o nature_n will_v be_v break_v and_o the_o woman_n shall_v be_v head_n over_o man_n in_o the_o high_a

head_n of_o man_n in_o temporal_a affair_n as_o queen_n be_v for_o that_o god_n have_v leave_v this_o free_a to_o m●n_z to_o dispense_v in_o the_o use_n of_o their_o natural_a privilege_n of_o
