A70591	The doctrine and discipline of divorce restor'd to the good of both sexes from the bondage of canon law and other mistakes to Christian freedom, guided by the rule of charity : wherein also many places of Scripture have recover'd their long-lost meaning : seasonable to be now thought on in the reformation intended.	Milton, John, 1608-1674.	1643 (1643)	Wing M2108; ESTC R12932	44,446	52

for_o this_o be_v wonderful_a that_o in_o all_o those_o decree_n concerning_o marriage_n god_n shall_v never_o once_o mention_v the_o prime_a institution_n to_o dissuade_v they_o from_o divorce_v
