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.

i_o a_o few_o word_n in_o which_o i_o make_v bold_a to_o direct_v you_o how_o to_o marry_v as_o well_o as_o who_o to_o marry_o and_o first_o to_o you_o my_o brethren_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v advise_v in_o a_o few_o thing_n first_o when_o you_o think_v to_o change_v your_o condition_n consider_v whether_o you_o be_v fit_a so_o to_o do_v think_v how_o you_o can_v maintain_v a_o wife_n for_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o maintain_v thyself_o thou_o do_v but_o abuse_v that_o woman_n who_o thou_o marrye_v unless_o she_o can_v maintain_v thou_o and_o have_v not_o a_o expectation_n from_o thou_o which_o be_v seldom_o know_v and_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o the_o want_n of_o this_o consideration_n have_v be_v a_o grief_n to_o many_o when_o it_o have_v be_v too_o late_o but_o i_o seldom_o know_v any_o that_o have_v cause_n to_o repent_v their_o careful_a proceed_n in_o this_o matter_n nor_o speak_v i_o this_o to_o cause_v dispondency_n in_o any_o honest_a sincere_a heart_n who_o in_o a_o low_a condition_n use_v their_o endeavour_n and_o trust_v in_o god_n providence_n but_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o warn_v the_o unwary_a and_o to_o curb_v the_o presumptuous_a second_o consider_v how_o thou_o can_v govern_v a_o family_n how_o thou_o can_v govern_v servant_n and_o tutor_n child_n and_o behave_v thyself_o to_o a_o wife_n that_o as_o the_o state_n of_o marriage_n be_v a_o honourable_a state_n so_o take_v heed_n it_o be_v not_o dishonour_v by_o thy_o inadvertency_n three_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o make_v no_o promise_n of_o marriage_n and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v draw_v back_o and_o break_v your_o vow_n make_v in_o secret_a for_o know_v that_o vow_n and_o contract_v make_v in_o secret_a be_v know_v to_o god_n who_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o do_v right_a and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o break_v your_o vow_n nay_o my_o advice_n be_v to_o all_o man_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o make_v show_n of_o love_n to_o any_o person_n who_o they_o do_v not_o real_o intend_v to_o marry_v there_o be_v many_o time_n great_a grief_n come_v by_o this_o mean_n and_o therefore_o be_v advise_v four_o you_o my_o sister_n be_v wise_a consider_v whether_o you_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v your_o duty_n in_o your_o place_n and_o also_o take_v heed_n of_o foolish_a fondness_n think_v not_o that_o every_o man_n that_o speak_v friendly_a to_o you_o or_o look_v pleasant_o upon_o you_o be_v in_o love_n with_o you_o and_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o live_v and_o die_v with_o you_o neither_o be_v proud_a and_o disdainful_a nor_o unfaithful_a but_o consider_v you_o be_v about_o a_o great_a work_n ordain_v of_o god_n for_o you_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o do_v it_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o by_o his_o advice_n take_v advice_n of_o your_o friend_n and_o the_o wise_a of_o your_o acquaintance_n and_o also_o make_v your_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o his_o assistance_n and_o wait_v on_o he_o for_o counsel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o prevent_v miscarry_v five_o and_o last_o i_o advise_v you_o both_o brethren_n and_o sister_n let_v the_o outward_a ceremony_n be_v perform_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n or_o other_o country_n where_o you_o dwell_v and_o see_v the_o outward_a part_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o clergy_n make_v use_n of_o their_o authority_n without_o which_o though_o i_o will_v admit_v you_o may_v be_v honest_o bring_v together_o without_o sin_n yet_o not_o safe_o nor_o with_o that_o reputation_n as_o you_o may_v be_v otherwise_o these_o few_o thing_n i_o think_v good_a to_o spread_v before_o you_o leave_v the_o answer_n to_o all_o objection_n about_o this_o part_n of_o advice_n till_o i_o see_v some_o make_v against_o it_o farewell_n a_o second_o postscript_n by_o way_n of_o advice_n to_o all_o those_o that_o either_o have_v or_o hereafter_o shall_v marry_v with_o such_o as_o be_v of_o contrary_a mind_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o institute_v religion_n my_o friend_n let_v i_o advise_v you_o that_o you_o take_v heed_n you_o forsake_v not_o the_o truth_n to_o which_o you_o have_v attain_v be_v not_o draw_v away_o by_o your_o yoke-fellow_n that_o be_v contrary_a mind_v but_o know_v it_o be_v that_o very_a thing_n of_o which_o god_n forewarn_v israel_n exod._n 34.16_o deut._n 7.4_o and_o not_o only_o tell_v they_o the_o danger_n of_o be_v draw_v away_o but_o the_o punishment_n that_o will_v follow_v thereupon_o jos_n 23.16_o second_o let_v i_o advise_v that_o you_o so_o be_v have_v yourselves_o with_o such_o christian_a respect_n meekness_n and_o sobriety_n as_o may_v prevail_v upon_o your_o yoke-fellow_n to_o embrace_v the_o truth_n or_o at_o least_o to_o prevent_v they_o from_o think_v evil_a of_o the_o way_n you_o profess_v because_o of_o your_o uneven_a walk_n three_o my_o advice_n be_v that_o you_o forsake_v not_o the_o assembly_n of_o your_o brethren_n nor_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n preach_v neglect_v not_o any_o good_a duty_n be_v not_o careless_a in_o your_o devotion_n nor_o remiss_a in_o any_o good_a work_n let_v not_o your_o zeal_n cool_v nor_o your_o love_n decay_n but_o let_v it_o be_v see_v you_o have_v yet_o the_o same_o assection_n towards_o god_n his_o way_n and_o people_n that_o ever_o you_o have_v and_o that_o you_o do_v not_o proffer_n your_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o carnal_a delight_n at_o that_o rate_n to_o put_v you_o out_o of_o love_n with_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o let_v not_o the_o frown_n and_o discontent_n of_o some_o of_o your_o weak_a brethren_n put_v you_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o cause_v you_o to_o neglect_v those_o thing_n which_o your_o own_o conscience_n incline_v you_o to_o and_o all_o you_o that_o have_v leave_v your_o congregation_n and_o neglect_v your_o duty_n i_o advise_v you_o to_o return_v and_o redeem_v the_o time_n you_o have_v lose_v and_o make_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v with_o your_o brethren_n four_o i_o advise_v you_o that_o you_o forsake_v
