���� [Adultery] [(adulterium)] [pro[[‑]] perly spoken of marryed per[[‑]] sons; but if onely

���� one of two persons by whom this sin is committed, be marryed, it makes

���� [Adultery]. [Adulterium] seems to have taken that name, as it were [ad alterius

���� writing (as [[St.] Hierom] and [Joseph], witness in [l. de ant. [DI] 4. c. 8.]) to this

���� effect, I promise that hereafter I will lay no claim to thee, and this writing was called

���� a [Bill of D ivorce]. But with Christians this custom is abrogated, saving onely in case

���� of Adultery. The anci[[‑]] ent Romans also had a custom of Divorce, among whom

���� it was as lawful for the Wife to put away her Husband, as for the Husband to dismiss

���� his Wife; But among the [Israelites] this prerogative was onely permitted to the

���� Husband. [Bull.] [See Repudiate]. In our Common Law, D i[[‑]] vorce is accounted

���� that sepa[[‑]] ration between two [de facto] married together, which is [`a] vinculo

���� Matrimonii,

���� entrap, en[[‑]] snare, or catch in a gin) [in the modern acception of the word, it

���� signifies to cheat, or entrap in this manner; a whore admits a man to be naught with

���� her, and in the very instant, rings a Bell or gives a watch word, and in comes a

���� Pander who pretends to be her husband, and with vapouring and threats, upon the

���� act of adultery, forces |money or bond from the de[[‑]] luded third person. Some

���� take this word to be derived from a [Pander] that does [en[[‑]] trap], or a [trapping

���� pan[[‑]] der].]
