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.

the_o fall_n and_o not_o taint_v with_o sin_n by_o adam_n transgression_n and_o if_o they_o be_v such_o person_n it_o be_v then_o no_o wonder_n that_o god_n be_v provoke_v thereby_o to_o see_v man_n
