A62978	Mixt marriages vindicated: or A discourse of mixt marriages by way of dialogue between A. and B. Who are of the same profession in matters of religion: but of different apprehensions in the point of marriage. First, shewing, that for persons to be joyned together in marriage, who differ about institutions in matters of religion, is contrary to no law; and therefore lawful. Secondly, that in case such marriages were the breach of a law, yet there is no rule left for the church to excommunicate persons for so marrying. By Stephen Tory.

of_o the_o old_a testament_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o speak_v to_o your_o new_a testament_n text_n in_o order_n and_o first_o to_o that_o in_o 1_o cor._n 6.18_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o marriage_n but_o of_o fornication_n and_o of_o be_v join_v to_o and_o become_v one_o body_n with_o a_o harlot_n where_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o apostle_n use_v the_o word_n by_o way_n of_o similitude_n show_v that_o as_o he_o who_o join_v himself_o to_o a_o harlot_n become_v one_o body_n with_o she_o

sometime_o call_v a_o harlot_n and_o idolatry_n call_v fornication_n but_o this_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o single_a person_n for_o they_o be_v no_o harlot_n as_o they_o be_v single_a

that_o relate_v to_o marriage_n and_o therefore_o i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o but_o further_a in_o case_n this_o text_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o common_a sense_n

in_o revel_n 2.14_o for_o josephus_n say_v that_o israel_n marry_v the_o moabitish_a woman_n which_o be_v that_o doctrine_n teach_v by_o balaam_n which_o some_o also_o in_o the_o church_n of_o

that_o marriage_n with_o person_n differ_v in_o religion_n be_v that_o doctrine_n or_o fornication_n be_v yet_o to_o prove_v for_o whatever_o josephus_n say_v concern_v the_o jew_n marry_v with_o the_o moabite_n be_v little_a to_o the_o purpose_n but_o this_o the_o scripture_n say_v numb_a 25._o they_o commit_v whoredom_n with_o the_o daughter_n of_o moab_n and_o in_o revel_n 2.14_o it_o be_v call_v fornication_n which_o mr._n phillips_n say_v ●●ds_n say_v ●his_fw-la new_a use_v of_o ●●sh_a ●●ds_n be_v all_o one_o thing_n now_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o god_n be_v always_o

ezra_n say_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o ruler_n have_v be_v chief_a in_o this_o trespass_n second_o this_o be_v not_o a_o act_n of_o fornication_n alone_o but_o be_v accompany_v with_o the_o aggravate_v circumstance_n of_o idolatry_n for_o so_o say_v the_o text_n numb_a 25._o and_o they_o call_v the_o people_n to_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o their_o god_n and_o the_o people_n do_v eat_v and_o bow_v down_o to_o their_o god_n and_o israel_n join_v himself_o unto_o baal-peor_a which_o according_a to_o josephus_n be_v a_o contract_n make_v between_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o woman_n of_o moab_n the_o woman_n be_v instruct_v not_o to_o consent_v but_o upon_o condition_n that_o the_o israelite_n shall_v do_v sacrifice_n to_o their_o god_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v true_a and_o if_o so_o no_o wonder_n though_o god_n show_v his_o sore_a displeasure_n against_o they_o for_o let_v the_o woman_n have_v be_v jew_n the_o case_n have_v be_v the_o same_o for_o the_o wife_n of_o the_o bosom_n be_v to_o die_v that_o shall_v entice_v her_o husband_n to_o follow_v other_o god_n as_o you_o may_v see_v deut._n 13.6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o woman_n of_o such_o a_o people_n nor_o yet_o a_o marriage_n thus_o solemnize_v that_o will_v excuse_v israel_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n three_o how_o do_v you_o know_v by_o all_o this_o what_o this_o doctrine_n of_o balaam_n be_v it_o can_v be_v know_v by_o any_o thing_n in_o numb_a 25._o nor_o in_o revel_n 2.14_o for_o both_o these_o report_n only_o the_o sin_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o punishment_n which_o ensue_v thereupon_o which_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o baalam_n doctrine_n balaam_n do_v not_o teach_v israel_n one_o thing_n or_o other_o he_o teach_v balak_n and_o when_o he_o be_v teach_v by_o balaam_n he_o improve_v it_o to_o his_o own_o advantage_n as_o he_o he_o think_v and_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o israel_n so_o that_o we_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n to_o know_v what_o that_o doctrine_n be_v which_o god_n reprove_v in_o the_o church_n of_o pergamus_n and_o the_o wise_a of_o man_n can_v but_o imagine_v and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v must_v be_v content_a to_o let_v another_o think_v as_o he_o will_n for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v not_o be_v without_o my_o thought_n about_o it_o and_o do_v think_v i_o be_o as_o near_o as_o any_o i_o have_v see_v and_o because_o in_o this_o case_n i_o may_v find_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o a_o wise_a i_o will_v also_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n which_o be_v as_o you_o shall_v hear_v but_o first_o i_o have_v not_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o any_o people_n that_o be_v so_o barbarous_a but_o they_o worship_v a_o god_n and_o though_o it_o be_v a_o tree_n yet_o they_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v sacred_a and_o do_v fear_v offend_v of_o this_o god_n second_o there_o be_v none_o so_o barbarous_a but_o make_v conscience_n of_o some_o moral_a duty_n and_o fear_v the_o commit_n of_o some_o immorality_n and_o this_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v balak_n case_n for_o balaam_n not_o be_v able_a to_o curse_n israel_n balak_n send_v he_o away_o without_o honour_n numb_a 24.11_o 12._o now_o balaam_n as_o josephus_n report_v to_o gratify_v balak_n and_o to_o purchase_v favour_n with_o moab_n and_o midian_a he_o well_o know_v god_n be_v offend_v with_o he_o and_o israel_n can_v have_v no_o kindness_n for_o he_o he_o be_v now_o desperate_a bethink_v himself_o of_o this_o stratagem_n which_o if_o balak_n will_v try_v may_v effect_v his_o design_n which_o be_v the_o destruction_n of_o israel_n the_o plot_n be_v that_o balak_n shall_v take_v the_o fair_a of_o their_o virgin_n and_o dress_v they_o rich_o and_o send_v they_o to_o dance_v about_o the_o tent_n of_o israel_n that_o he_o may_v provoke_v the_o israelite_n who_o he_o know_v to_o be_v great_a admirer_n of_o beautiful_a woman_n but_o when_o the_o israelite_n come_v to_o request_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o they_o shall_v in_o no_o

wise_a consent_n but_o upon_o this_o condition_n that_o the_o jew_n shall_v go_v with_o they_o to_o their_o worship_n and_o serve_v their_o go_n now_o hereat_o i_o conceive_v balak_n may_v make_v some_o scruple_n as_o foresee_v some_o great_a evil_n must_v be_v commit_v to_o accomplish_v this_o design_n as_o first_o a_o act_n of_o base_a dissimulation_n to_o pretend_v love_n and_o kindness_n when_o the_o design_n be_v murder_n and_o destruction_n and_o how_o far_o this_o may_v go_v with_o a_o moral_a heathen_a can_v be_v imagine_v second_o there_o must_v be_v the_o defile_n of_o so_o many_o virgin_n which_o go_v hard_a with_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n and_o be_v abhor_v of_o heathen_n three_o dissimulation_n in_o the_o name_n of_o their_o god_n who_o they_o adore_v and_o to_o who_o they_o endeavour_v to_o proselyte_n the_o jew_n not_o out_o of_o honour_n to_o their_o god_n but_o to_o accomplish_v a_o design_n of_o their_o own_o four_o the_o jew_n must_v be_v think_v to_o be_v vile_a hypocrite_n that_o shall_v be_v draw_v upon_o such_o term_n to_o serve_v their_o god_n that_o they_o may_v obtain_v the_o satisfy_n of_o their_o base_a lust_n and_o their_o offer_n be_v a_o profane_v the_o name_n of_o those_o go_n now_o balak_n may_v fear_v upon_o the_o apprehension_n of_o all_o these_o evil_n that_o his_o god_n will_v be_v offend_v for_o be_v it_o his_o own_o case_n he_o will_v not_o accept_v the_o service_n of_o one_o of_o his_o own_o prince_n that_o shall_v be_v accompany_v with_o such_o a_o heap_n of_o monstrous_a villainy_n so_o reproachful_a to_o he_o and_o dishonourable_a to_o his_o name_n now_o to_o satisfy_v balak_n in_o this_o scruple_n balaam_n appli_v himself_o and_o lay_v down_o a_o proposition_n which_o if_o he_o and_o his_o people_n do_v believe_v than_o they_o will_v not_o fear_v to_o follow_v his_o advice_n and_o therefore_o tell_v balak_n that_o all_o this_o fear_n of_o his_o do_v arise_v from_o his_o want_n of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o divine_a mysiery_n for_o all_o this_o be_v both_o lawful_a laudable_a and_o justifiable_a at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o in_o such_o case_n as_o the_o present_a circumstance_n have_v bring_v he_o and_o his_o people_n into_o for_o man_n to_o commit_v any_o evil_n and_o break_v the_o law_n both_o of_o nature_n and_o the_o god_n without_o any_o offence_n to_o they_o when_o it_o be_v to_o a_o good_a end_n either_o for_o the_o procure_n of_o a_o great_a good_a or_o avoid_v a_o great_a evil._n and_o thou_o balak_n need_v not_o fear_v to_o do_v what_o i_o advise_v thou_o unto_o thy_o case_n require_v something_o to_o be_v do_v that_o be_v eminent_a i_o be_o a_o prophet_n and_o thou_o know_v my_o conversation_n be_v with_o the_o god_n and_o i_o know_v they_o do_v allow_v of_o this_o principle_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n do_v allow_v of_o it_o in_o his_o people_n and_o thy_o god_n will_v allow_v of_o it_o in_o thou_o thy_o case_n be_v dangerous_a and_o thou_o have_v reason_n sufficient_a to_o justify_v thy_o proceed_n in_o this_o matter_n as_o first_o thy_o own_o preservation_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o thy_o family_n which_o be_v motive_n enough_o to_o provoke_v a_o man_n to_o wound_v his_o own_o conscience_n that_o he_o may_v prevent_v such_o a_o mischief_n second_o the_o preservation_n of_o thy_o people_n and_o country_n which_o will_v be_v make_v a_o prey_n their_o country_n take_v from_o they_o themselves_o and_o their_o child_n make_v captive_n at_o the_o least_o for_o if_o these_o israelite_n prevail_v thy_o whole_a people_n will_v be_v their_o slave_n and_o vassal_n and_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v thou_o and_o thy_o people_n to_o consider_v what_o mischief_n hang_v over_o your_o head_n and_o not_o to_o scruple_n at_o the_o mean_n that_o may_v prevent_v it_o three_o your_o religion_n will_v be_v change_v your_o god_n dishonour_v and_o blaspheme_v your_o grove_n will_v be_v cut_v up_o and_o your_o altar_n pull_v down_o which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o mischief_n that_o nothing_o can_v equal_v it_o it_o will_v be_v your_o sin_n nay_o your_o unpardonable_a sin_n if_o you_o do_v not_o your_o utmost_a to_o prevent_v this_o and_o though_o the_o way_n i_o have_v prescribe_v be_v a_o evil_a way_n and_o may_v not_o be_v allow_v in_o common_a case_n yet_o when_o it_o may_v prevent_v a_o great_a mischief_n or_o procure_v a_o great_a good_a then_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o a_o duty_n and_o therefore_o let_v thy_o people_n be_v instruct_v in_o this_o principle_n that_o they_o may_v act_v their_o part_n with_o boldness_n for_o you_o may_v expect_v a_o blessing_n for_o it_o beside_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a to_o become_v a_o snare_n to_o israel_n for_o if_o they_o close_v with_o the_o temptation_n and_o worship_v your_o god_n their_o god_n will_v be_v offend_v at_o they_o because_o in_o this_o they_o neither_o avoid_v a_o evil_a nor_o procure_v a_o good_a nor_o have_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o their_o eye_n but_o only_o the_o satisfy_n a_o base_a and_o carnal_a lust_n now_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o balaam_n which_o some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o pergamus_n hold_v and_o which_o as_o be_v say_v some_o in_o the_o romish_a church_n hold_v at_o this_o day_n which_o be_v a_o doctrine_n so_o hateful_a to_o god_n and_o destructive_a to_o mankind_n that_o it_o make_v
