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

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

before_o the_o church_n that_o he_o be_v untrue_a in_o his_o ●eedes_n and_o word_n and_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v trust_v and_o beleve_v and_o therefore_o the_o church_n ought_v not_o to_o allow_v

they_o do_v not_o will_n and_o consent_n in_o their_o heart_n so_o to_o be_v when_o they_o say_v the_o word_n of_o matrymonie_n and_o therefore_o if_o these_o two_o person_n do_v use_v carnal_a

in_o the_o same_o will_n and_o mind_n that_o he_o have_v when_o he_o be_v insure_v be_v it_o the_o man_n or_o the_o woman_n therefore_o let_v everye_o man_n and_o woman_n take_v good_a heed_n when_o
