A35959 Truths victory over error, or, An abridgement of the chief controversies in religion which since the apostles days to this time, have been, and are in agitation, between those of the Orthodox faith, and all adversaries whatsoever, a list of whose names are set down after the epistle to the reader : wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions, and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth, and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise, most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God. Dickson, David, 1583?-1663.; Sinclair, George, d. 1696. 1684 (1684) Wing D1412; ESTC R3405 145,943 378

before_o this_o be_v do_v take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v here_o two_o head_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o whether_o or_o not_o we_o must_v stand_v to_o the_o forbid_a degree_n of_o consanguinity_n and_o affinity_n express_v in_o leviticus_n second_o whether_o to_o these_o degree_n set_v down_o as_o forbid_v in_o leviticus_n new_a degree_n may_v be_v add_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o will_v render_v a_o marriage_n incestuous_a to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o dispense_v that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o suffer_v that_o to_o be_v use_v which_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n with_o any_o of_o these_o law_n in_o leviticus_n which_o forbid_v incestuous_a marriage_n and_o next_o we_o affirm_v neither_o be_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o add_v to_o these_o degree_n forbid_v in_o leviticus_n any_o other_o which_o be_v not_o forbid_v 1_o because_o such_o a_o power_n of_o dispense_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n 2_o because_o the_o lord_n say_v express_o what_o thing_n soever_o i_o command_v you_o observe_v to_o do_v it_o thou_o shall_v not_o add_v thereto_o nor_o diminish_v from_o it_o deut._n 12._o 32._o but_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v make_v these_o law_n and_o establish_v these_o march_n so_o sure_a that_o no_o council_n no_o pope_n no_o creature_n can_v either_o dispense_v with_o any_o of_o they_o or_o add_v new_a one_o to_o they_o see_v leviticus_n 18._o 3_o because_o these_o law_n be_v of_o common_a and_o perpetual_a

while_o they_o be_v both_o live_n they_o distinguish_v next_o between_o person_n that_o be_v believer_n and_o that_o be_v unbeliever_n if_o then_o both_o party_n or_o one_o of_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n they_o grant_v that_o the_o marriage_n be_v valide_fw-la both_o as_o to_o cohabitation_n to_o the_o marriage_n bed_n and_o to_o the_o tie_v or_o bond._n but_o if_o both_o party_n be_v

the_o marriage_n be_v contract_v after_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o a_o second_o marriage_n after_o divorce_n be_v unlawful_a to_o any_o of_o they_o but_o this_o be_v easy_o confute_v 1_o because_o
