diuelish pleasure if he may achieue it for money Beside that they which are punished after that maner for want of the execution of gods lawe fall often into one and the selfe same sinne So that sinne aboundeth and iniquitie raigneth so much that wee in this age are comparable herein in a maner with all the former ages of the world which surely in my iudgement commeth to passe because that maner of punishing sinne whiche God hath prescribed is neglected and an other which man hath deuised set in the place and stead thereof You sée the abuse hereof Pray hartilye that God woulde redresse this and all other abuses remayning yet amongst vs. It followeth Let euery man haue his own wife c. By generall doctrine is in these words deliuered vnto vs plainly prouing the mariage doth belong to alstates sorts and kinde of men as well ministers as cōmon people contrary to that doctrine of Diuels by papists defended who forbid mariage to such maner of mē But as this place doth plainly ouerthrow that their opinion so doe manye other both Examples and testimonies in holy scripture whiche for anoyding of tediousnes I willinglye omit Onely one as general as this I think good to rehearse in the Epistle to the Hebrues we haue this saying Mariage is honorable among all men and the bed vndefiled as for whoremōgers and adulterers God wil iudge you sée by these words beloued that in the Apostles iudgement mariage is honorable among all men of what condition soeuer they be so that to forbid it in some is great and gréeuous iniquitye seing that God hath enioyned al that haue not the gifte of chastitye or sole life to vse mariage as a notable remedye to put away the act of Formeation with the lust or concupiscence thereof And as out of these wordes a generall lesson is giuen to all to marrie if it bee in the Lord. So a man cannot without gréef consider the horrible sinne and without horror speake of the detestable iniquitye that those men Papists I meane haue fallen into that haue shunned this meane much lesse by them done What whoredom adultry fornication yea sodometrie yea buggery and other filthines that ought not to be named in the mouth of Christians hath ben by them cōmitted their own Chrouographers history writers plainly declare this fayng whē they are made popish priests is too plain Si non caste tamen caute that is if thou canst not liue chastly yet take a whore wartly It shal be best for vs all those iniquities being set aside to imbrace Gods councell as the onely truth and to shun the other as procéeding from the Diuell the father of all lyes and liers Nowe though the Apostle doth cōmand euery one to haue his own wife for auoyding of Fornication yet is it not his meaning that mariages shoulde bee made in suche sorte as GOD himselfe hath forbidden that is to saye that young Children may marry without consent of parēts for in such cases the aduise counsell agréement of fathers is of necessity required It is wonderfull to see to what kinde of vngodlines and disobedience the world in this behalfe is growne for mariages are made without consent or counsaile of parents which is a plaine breach of Gods commandement Honor thi Father and thi mother this wickednes is confirmed and increased in an other respect because young men thinke themselues in this behalfe more at liberty then maydens or Damosels Indeed if they could proue themselues not to be children and by the commandement not to be tyed to obedyence as the other are I could easily be perswaded therein But our wickednesse in both these cases is far greater thē that of the Gentiles For in Genesis wee read that Shechem after he had rauyshed Dinah Iacobs Daughter whiche fact was altogether vngodly did desire his Father to get him that mayde to wife If Infidels and vnbeleeuers did this how much more ought Christians that professe godlinesse to accomplishe the same Surely Schechem had as great priuileges as any yong man can now lay for himselfe for besides that he was a yong man hee was a Lordes sonne as it should séeme the only son of his father and yet woulde not take mariage in hand though otherwise hee had committed a vilanous act without his Fathers consent and aduise Now this is further to be considered in this case on the Fathers part For as the child may not marry without the parents alowing and liking of the same so can not the fathers or mothers eyther enforce their children to make vngodlye mariages or to hinder let mariages begun in Gods feare As many doe at this day that because one of the parties hath not aboundance of wealth or such like will not giue consent to the mariage of their children But rather they ought to labour that in the Lorde such contracts and mariages may as much as in them lyeth be furthered Moreouer in these words Let euery man haue his own wife c. This is to be considered that the Apostles mind is not to licence any to marry with Infidels or of corrupt religion vnhonest behauior or so forth but that they shold haue due consideration of the parties to whome they purpose by Gods grace to ioyne themselues and that they shoulde thorowly know their religion cōuersatiō because mariage is not a bād for a day a wéeke a month or a yere only but for tearme of life also Surely to speak my mind I cannot without gréefe consider the great disorder and confusion vsed in the world at this day in this behalf for eyther the beauty is one cause so they satisfye their eye carnall lust or else mony or goods another cause thinking therby to content their vnsatiable minds Now adaies neither religiō nor honesty is in mariages demanded but rather we aske how fayre beautifull or let me vnderstand how much monye I shall haue Verely for a man to haue such consideratiōs in chusing of a wife is not altogether euill because a man must chuse him such a one as with whom alone he can holde himselfe contente so long as they shall liue together but to put those things in the first place declareth to such men as we deale with in these cases that we like beasts rather séeke things transitory and vaine I meane beauty substance wealth and such like then their daughters and children and that we more estéem of the one then the other Beside that when mariages are made in such sort wtout cōsideratiō of religiō godlines as if a christiā or professor of the gospel should marry with an infidel Turke Iew or Papist we tread vnder our féete Gods commādemēts wholy despise the exāple of godly faithful men In the law it is sayd to the people of Israel concerning the Gentiles which inhabited the land that they wēt to posses Thou shalt make no mariages with them neither giue thy
