VERS. XI.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Be reconciled to her husband.

COmpare Deut. XXIV. 4. Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife. For the bond which was there made, is not dissolved here. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 p 1.1 He makes it void: it is made void: they are the words of Rabbi. (The Gloss is, The husband sends a bill of divorse to the wife: if either he himself afterwards goes to his wife, or sends a messenger to him, saying, The bill of Divorse, which I sent to thee, let it stand for nothing, it is nothing.) A Tradition. In former times he compelled the Bench in another place, who would make void the Bill, and made not the thing known to his wife. Ga∣maliel the Elder appointed, that they should not do this; because sometimes the wife not know∣ing of the withdrawing of the Bill, marrieth another, and so hath bastard children.

Behold 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a Reconciliation after a Divorse, (but the Apostle speaks not in this place of Divorse) and yet the Jews by their practice shewed, that they thought the bond of marriage was loosed by any Divorse, for they admitted second marriages.
