chancellor be of the same opinion and say that to decree a execution of these  article be not to invade the jurisdiction of the spiritual court that the  intent of these article be to save the expense of a sentence in the spiritual  court that if these article can not be decree here they will be of no force  anywhere that there be no remedy upon they at commonlaw for there the wife can  not sue her husband that it can not be pretend that the spiritual court have a  power to decree a performance of precedent in chancery they that where a  husband make a separate provision for the wife he be not Chargeable by law for  her debt but though that be so yet to avoid the expense he may be put to in  defend such suit he send it to a master to settle a security to indemnify he  against the wife debt and decree the arrear and grow payment of the pound per  and to be pay to the wife and say this be not a decree of alimony or to decree  a separation between they for that they may whenever they think fit come  together again and then the article will be no further bind precedent in  chancery er p
