I'm not clear on this distinction, but perhaps we are on the same page. I
read the Patristic evidence as permiting the divorce only for fornication,
but not any further marriages for either party.
Beyond that I really can't speak to the grammer distinction on negation or
exclusion. Could you elaborate on this please?
