that_o then_o be_v at_o rome_n or_o what_o jeremy_n advise_v the_o exile_n in_o assyria_n now_o this_o be_v a_o most_o sure_a argument_n that_o paul_n have_v a_o regard_n to_o those_o man_n condition_n to_o who_o he_o do_v write_v and_o not_o to_o all_o other_o because_o he_o diligent_o set_v home_o the_o mutual_a duty_n of_o husband_n towards_o their_o wife_n of_o wife_n towards_o

that_o of_o private_a person_n what_o other_o cause_n may_v we_o imagine_v than_o that_o at_o that_o time_n there_o be_v no_o king_n or_o magistrate_n in_o the_o church_n to_o who_o he_o may_v write_v imagine_v that_o paul_n do_v now_o live_v in_o our_o day_n wherein_o not_o only_o the_o people_n but_o prince_n also_o profess_v christianity_n at_o the_o same_o time_n let_v there_o be_v some_o

so_o far_o they_o think_v it_o be_v fall_v from_o justice_n and_o equity_n and_o because_o these_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o malice_n and_o envy_n nor_o yet_o by_o self-interest_n the_o most_o part_n
