look_v upon_o marriage_n as_o a_o sacred_a obligation_n and_o to_o observe_v the_o institution_n and_o design_n of_o god_n whenever_o we_o enter_v upon_o it_o 2._o whatever_o god_n have_v make_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a in_o his_o write_a word_n with_o respect_n to_o marriage_n we_o must_v own_v and_o acquiesce_v in_o as_o such_o for_o his_o positive_a law_n and_o the_o actual_a revelation_n of_o his_o will_n be_v the_o fundamental_a director_n in_o this_o case_n i_o mean_v not_o that_o god_n shall_v determine_v every_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o marriage-solemnity_n but_o that_o whatever_o he_o have_v determine_v at_o several_a time_n and_o upon_o several_a occasion_n to_o be_v of_o perpetual_a practice_n aught_o and_o must_v be_v religious_o observe_v by_o they_o who_o have_v and_o acknowledge_v his_o revelation_n 3._o all_o that_o be_v marry_v must_v look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o oblige_v to_o each_o other_o under_o a_o sacred_a bond_n and_o tye_n of_o religion_n they_o be_v to_o be_v faithful_a for_o fear_v of_o a_o curse_n from_o god_n or_o of_o be_v betrayer_n and_o perverter_n of_o his_o holy_a institution_n they_o be_v to_o drive_v on_o no_o separate_a interest_n they_o must_v conscientious_o discharge_v those_o duty_n which_o the_o end_n of_o marriage_n their_o union_n and_o god_n himself_o require_v of_o they_o no_o man_n shall_v act_v contrary_a to_o himself_o and_o consequent_o no_o marry_a person_n shall_v prejudice_v each_o other_o for_o they_o be_v make_v one_o by_o promise_n by_o bargain_n and_o by_o vow_n ii_o the_o next_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o consider_v be_v the_o necessity_n of_o marriage_n for_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n indeed_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v man_n as_o undetermined_a as_o he_o have_v do_v other_o creature_n which_o multiply_v their_o several_a kind_n then_o there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o marriage_n but_o have_v not_o only_o frame_v man_n and_o make_v he_o fit_a to_o propagate_v his_o species_n by_o multiply_a individual_n but_o likewise_o determine_v he_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n and_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o by_o a_o solemn_a matrimonial_a contract_n which_o he_o have_v do_v in_o no_o other_o species_n beside_o that_o i_o know_v of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o any_o to_o break_v the_o rule_n of_o this_o determination_n because_o it_o be_v a_o open_a violation_n of_o a_o perpetual_a law_n for_o which_o a_o account_n must_v be_v give_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o if_o man_n must_v contiune_v to_o the_o world_n end_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o people_n marry_v otherwise_o they_o must_v sin_n against_o god_n and_o their_o offspring_n will_v be_v unlawful_a this_o i_o will_v not_o have_v so_o understand_v as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n upon_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a to_o marry_v but_o that_o mankind_n ought_v not_o and_o therefore_o can_v lawful_o be_v perpetuate_v in_o the_o world_n save_v only_o by_o wedlock_n i_o know_v the_o alios_fw-la jewish_a canonist_n and_o civilian_n affirm_v that_o all_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o marry_n and_o they_o ground_n their_o opinion_n on_o these_o word_n of_o scripture_n 28._o be_v fruitful_a and_o multiply_v and_o replenish_v the_o earth_n and_o subdue_v it_o this_o be_v the_o first_o commandment_n according_a to_o their_o account_n and_o be_v by_o they_o from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i._n e._n lex_fw-la ad_fw-la procreationem_fw-la &_o multiplicationem_fw-la liberorum_fw-la obligans_fw-la but_o i_o think_v they_o mistake_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v interpret_v as_o if_o it_o lay_v a_o injunction_n upon_o every_o one_o to_o marry_o for_o they_o themselves_o exempt_v from_o it_o 28._o some_o the_o whole_a female_a sex_n 3._o other_o some_o man_n either_o entire_o or_o till_o late_a year_n than_o the_o obligation_n of_o this_o law_n according_a to_o their_o decision_n general_o commence_v and_o 22._o again_o the_o same_o word_n be_v speak_v of_o other_o creature_n which_o be_v capable_a of_o no_o such_o positive_a law_n and_o therefore_o i_o judge_v they_o denote_v by_o a_o figurative_a manner_n of_o speech_n the_o inward_a disposition_n frame_n and_o nature_n of_o mankind_n for_o multiply_v themselves_o and_o people_n the_o world_n god_n have_v so_o make_v and_o ordain_v man_n that_o he_o be_v natural_o apt_a and_o prone_a to_o propagate_v his_o own_o

god_n say_v unto_o they_o be_v fruitful_a and_o multiply_v and_o replenish_v the_o earth_n and_o subdue_v it_o where_o the_o hebrew_n word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o we_o translate_v

of_o perpetuate_a his_o posterity_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v a_o observation_n fides_fw-la though_o borrow_v from_o another_o of_o a_o clerk_n learned_a and_o late_a critic_n upon_o the_o 22_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n who_o with_o simon_n another_o that_o be_v ashamed_a very_o often_o of_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o 3._o go_v under_o many_o other_o i_o may_v

wit_n there_o will_v never_o be_v a_o end_n to_o undermine_v the_o scripture_n as_o other_o do_v by_o their_o whimsical_a notion_n of_o modish_a philosophy_n and_o to_o render_v they_o altogether_o useless_a for_o the_o end_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n which_o god_n design_v they_o for_o may_v he_o in_o his_o due_a time_n by_o way_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o and_o agreeable_a to_o his_o wisdom_n blast_v such_o attempt_n upon_o his_o sacred_a oracle_n which_o these_o man_n look_v on_o as_o a_o good_a old_a book_n they_o may_v criticise_v upon_o and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o manner_n in_o short_a then_o the_o forementioned_a text_n contain_v a_o benediction_n found_v in_o the_o nature_n and_o faculty_n of_o man_n the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o be_v as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o regulate_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o all_o our_o power_n governable_a by_o reason_n must_v be_v and_o therefore_o as_o god_n have_v ordain_v marriage_n as_o the_o only_a mean_n for_o the_o continuation_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n none_o can_v violate_v this_o method_n without_o sin_v most_o heinous_o against_o he_o for_o whoever_o be_v such_o a_o transgressor_n turn_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o soul_n into_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o body_n make_v himself_o pollute_v and_o brutish_a propagate_v the_o seed_n of_o

will_v destroy_v he_o in_o the_o low_a hell_n god_n have_v restrain_v all_o licentiousness_n by_o a_o maraiage_n institution_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v man_n transgress_v this_o law_n which_o be_v so_o sacred_a and_o perpetual_a hardly_o any_o sin_n be_v more_o provoke_v than_o adultery_n fornication_n and_o uncleanness_n god_n will_v avenge_v such_o severe_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o dreadful_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o write_a word_n and_o therefore_o those_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o they_o can_v escape_v everlasting_a fire_n now_o from_o all_o this_o you_o see_v what_o a_o honour_n be_v reflect_v on_o marriage_n from_o god_n it_o make_v the_o bed_n undefiled_a legitimate_v the_o world_n make_v parent_n honest_a credit_n their_o offspring_n and_o derive_v a_o
