where the officers be negligent and the woman not able to put herself to penance, if she went where she is not known and there marry God is the God of mercy. If any man in the same place where she trespaseth, pitied her & married her. I could suffer it. were it not that the liberty would be the next way to provoke all other that were once weary of their husbands / to commit adultery, for to be divorced from them / that they might marry other which they loved better. Let the temporal sword take heed to their charge therefore. For this is truth,1 all the temporal blessings set in the law of Moses for keeping their laws / as wealth and prosperity / long life / the upper ⟨p. xlii⟩hand of their enemies / plenteousness of fruits and cheap of all thing / and to be without pestilence / war and famishment / and all manner other abominable diseases and plagues / pertain to us as well as to them / if we keep our temporal laws.
