A89141	Colasterion: a reply to a nameles ansvver against The doctrine and discipline of divorce. Wherein the trivial author of that answer is discover'd, the licencer conferr'd with, and the opinion which they traduce defended. / By the former author, J.M.	Milton, John, 1608-1674.	1645 (1645)	Wing M2099; Thomason E271_11; ESTC R212205	23,470	30

by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n a_o just_a cause_n of_o divorce_n to_o this_o position_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o lay_v no_o battery_n against_o i_o no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o face_n it_o but_o tack_n about_o long_o ere_o it_o come_v near_o like_o a_o harmless_a and_o respectful_a confutement_n for_o i_o confess_v that_o disagreement_n of_o mind_n or_o disposition_n though_o in_o much_o sharpness_n be_v not_o always_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o divorce_n for_o much_o may_v be_v endure_v but_o what_o if_o the_o sharpness_n be_v much_o more_o than_o his_o much_o to_o that_o point_n it_o be_v our_o mishap_n we_o have_v not_o here_o his_o grave_a decision_n he_o that_o will_v contradict_v the_o positive_a which_o i_o allege_v must_v hold_v that_o no_o disagreement_n of_o mind_n or_o disposition_n can_v divorce_v though_o show_v in_o most_o sharpness_n otherwise_o he_o leave_v a_o place_n for_o equity_n to_o appoint_v limit_n and_o so_o his_o follow_a argument_n will_v either_o not_o prove_v his_o own_o position_n or_o not_o disprove_v i_o his_o first_o argument_n all_o but_o what_o hobble_v to_o no_o purpose_n be_v this_o where_o the_o scripture_n command_v a_o

disagreement_n or_o contrariety_n may_v divorce_v therefore_o the_o scripture_n allow_v not_o any_o divorce_n for_o disagreement_n answer_v first_o i_o deny_v your_o major_n the_o scripture_n appoint_v many_o thing_n and_o yet_o leave_v the_o circumstance_n to_o man_n discretion_n particular_o in_o your_o own_o example_n excommunication_n be_v not_o teach_v when_o and_o for_o what_o to_o
