consideration_n of_o god_n rest_v from_o his_o work_n in_o the_o creation_n for_o it_o seem_v odd_a that_o god_n shall_v complete_a the_o creation_n of_o the_o universe_n in_o six_o day_n and_o rest_n on_o the_o seven_o only_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o one_o particular_a temporary_a ordinance_n of_o one_o particular_a little_a nation_n and_o that_o too_o that_o be_v not_o to_o commence_v till_o

3._o to_o consider_v what_o the_o true_a purpose_n design_n and_o mean_v of_o this_o law_n be_v now_o the_o most_o obvious_a and_o first_o sense_n of_o it_o without_o doubt_n be_v to_o enjoin_v a_o

what_o i_o now_o maintain_v 1._o that_o marry_v upon_o divorce_n or_o marry_v a_o person_n divorce_v be_v adultery_n because_o he_o that_o marry_v upon_o divorce_n take_v a_o second_o wife_n while_o his_o union_n and_o obligation_n to_o the_o first_o by_o god_n original_a institution_n be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o he_o that_o marry_v a_o woman_n that_o be_v divorce_v marry_v another_o man_n wife_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n law_n and_o in_o that_o commit_v adultery_n both_o these_o case_n be_v a_o violation_n of_o that_o union_n which_o god_n decree_v shall_v not_o be_v violate_v 2._o the_o second_o thing_n be_v the_o exception_n which_o christ_n make_v to_o these_o case_n except_o it_o be_v for_o fornication_n where_o

from_o the_o natural_a turpitude_n of_o it_o and_o the_o evil_n and_o pernicious_a consequence_n that_o attend_v it_o i._o the_o first_o assertion_n be_v that_o fornication_n be_v a_o violation_n of_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o original_a institution_n of_o marriage_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v from_o gen._n 2._o 23_o 24._o where_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o

flesh._n and_o for_o the_o better_a clear_n of_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v proceed_v thus_o 1._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o god_n to_o provide_v against_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n fall_v state_n when_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a perfection_n of_o his_o reason_n by_o sin_n do_v assist_v he_o in_o some_o case_n by_o divine_a positive_a law_n 2._o that_o these_o word_n mention_v gen._n 2._o 24._o have_v in_o they_o the_o force_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o divine_a law_n 3._o i_o shall_v consider_v what_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o purpose_n of_o this_o law_n be_v 4._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o fornication_n be_v a_o certain_a violation_n of_o it_o and_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o heinous_a sin_n and_o high_o offensive_a unto_o god_n 5._o last_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o objection_n that_o be_v common_o make_v against_o this_o argument_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o particular_a man_n in_o ancient_a time_n that_o be_v nevertheless_o record_v to_o have_v have_v a_o singular_a share_n in_o god_n favour_n 1._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o god_n to_o provide_v against_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n fall_v state_n when_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a perfection_n of_o his_o reason_n by_o sin_n do_v assist_v he_o in_o some_o case_n by_o divine_a positive_a law_n but_o here_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o my_o mean_v of_o a_o positive_a law_n by_o which_o expression_n be_v common_o understand_v such_o a_o command_n or_o precept_n as_o tie_n man_v up_o to_o obedience_n in_o thing_n of_o a_o indifferent_a nature_n and_o where_o he_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n by_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n this_o be_v the_o common_a meaning_n of_o this_o phrase_n and_o thing_n forbid_v by_o positive_a law_n in_o this_o sense_n be_v therefore_o suppose_v to_o have_v no_o real_a evil_a or_o immorality_n in_o they_o and_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n do_v very_o early_o give_v mankind_n some_o such_o positive_a institution_n yet_o i_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n intend_v the_o original_a institution_n of_o marriage_n to_o be_v positive_a in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o to_o suppose_v that_o it_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n for_o that_o it_o most_o certain_o have_v but_o my_o mean_v be_v that_o to_o prevent_v either_o ignorance_n or_o any_o misconstruction_n of_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n in_o favour_n of_o man_n lust_n god_n be_v please_v to_o confirm_v some_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n by_o revelation_n and_o strengthen_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n by_o positive_a institution_n for_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n be_v either_o 1._o such_o general_a precept_n and_o obvious_a inference_n from_o they_o as_o every_o consider_a man_n may_v see_v and_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o obligation_n or_o else_o 2._o such_o remote_a principle_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n which_o though_o they_o have_v their_o

deduction_n and_o though_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n but_o that_o man_n in_o that_o perfection_n of_o reason_n in_o which_o he_o be_v original_o create_v be_v then_o a_o sufficient_a guide_n

the_o sense_n in_o which_o i_o will_v be_v now_o understand_v to_o speak_v of_o divine_a positive_a law_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o god_n give_v adam_n several_a such_o law_n to_o
