be_v it_o it_o be_v better_a to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n than_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o for_o so_o much_o as_o i_o can_v learn_v the_o remedy_n which_o that_o man_n may_v

know_v she_o be_v not_o his_o wife_n before_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v do_v against_o god_n law_n if_o he_o shall_v keep_v her_o company_n as_o her_o husband_n and_o rather_o than_o to_o do_v so_o and_o offend_v almyghty_a god_n he_o must_v suffer_v any_o manner_n of_o pain_n that_o the_o law_n of_o man_n may_v cause_v he_o to_o have_v and_o so_o must_v a_o woman_n do_v if_o she_o

for_o leave_v or_o forsake_v the_o second_o marriage_n he_o do_v it_o just_o and_o lawefullye_o because_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o suppose_v the_o best_a and_o the_o most_o likely_a that_o be_v

great_o against_o his_o own_o conscyence_n and_o god_n law_n and_o also_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o suppose_v this_o second_o marriage_n good_a because_o it_o can_v not_o have_v a_o due_a proof_o of_o the_o first_o marriage_n which_o the_o man_n say_v he_o make_v before_o god_n but_o aught_o to_o judge_v and_o determine_v the_o second_o marriage_n to_o be_v lawful_a &_o may_v just_o
