free to all men euen to such as haue the gift of continencie and for those who haue not the power to abstaine it is expressely enioyned by God as necessarie Which discouereth that error of absolute inhibition thereof to some sorts of men without the least exception of abilitie to forbeare And in this case though the Church of Rome prescribeth an helpe by prayer and indeuour where the gift is wanting yet herein she addeth two more absurdities to the former imposing a necessitie of containing by her lawes where God hath giuen libertie by his word and causing to flee from that onely Remedie which himselfe hath sanctified to another whereunto hee neither giueth charge by his will nor incouragement by promise II. That Marriages consummate without the free and aduised consent of Parents either explicite in tearmes or implicite by conniuence are in the court of conscience meere nullities A doctrine cleered in this Booke both by Scriptures and by consent of Antiquitie Wherein is challenged the Iesuites proposition That the sole consent of the parties is sufficient ad Matrimonium firmum ac ratum efficiendum As also that decree of the Councell of Trent which professeth a detestation of clandestine contracts and yet with the same breath pronounceth the curse of Anathema vpon them who affirme that Parents may ratifie or make voide Mariages contracted by their children without their allowance III. That Matrimonie lawfullie begun and consummate is made voide onely by way of diuorce in the case of Adulterie So saith our Sauiour Whosoeuer shall put away his wife except it be for fornication c. And this liberty granted by Christ both to dissolue and to marrie againe cannot be restrained or cut off by any humane ordinance A point directlie impugned by two other Rules of that Councell One that the Church of Rome erreth not when she teacheth as they professe Iuxta Euangelicam Apostolicam doctrinam but in truth expressely contradictory thereunto That the knot of mariage cannot be broken because of adulterie and that neither partie may vndertake to be maried againe during the life of the other after the dismission The other that the vow of Chastitie and entring into holy Orders is of force to loose the bond of Mariage And in this case separation is made and allowed de facto by the sole authoritie of the Pope notwithstanding the refusall of the setled partie to yeeld consent IV. That the iudgement and determination of causes matrimoniall as of Contracts and their impediments of degrees of kinred of diuorces c. resteth originally in the ciuill Magistrate in whose power it is to ordaine and establish lawes touching them agreeable to Gods word and to cause them to be put in execution For this purpose in doubtfull and difficult cases the ancient Church hath not absolutely rested in her owne decrees but hath made recourse to the seate of Iustice specially vnder Christian Magistrates submitting her selfe to their lawes and constitutions in that kinde Whereas the Church of Rome hath determined that these causes doe simplie and only appertaine to Ecclesiasticall Iudges and therefore hath concluded Mariage to be a Sacrament that the definition of cases coniugall becomming vpon this ground an action of a spirituall nature might be transferred from the Ciuill to their spirituall Courts The soueraigntie whereof in these affaires by their owne constitutions is greatly inlarged For though they admit that politike Princes haue some interest in them yet they must hold it with subordination to the autoritie of the Church-Magistrate and when the Rector of the Prouince maketh a law hereof hee must doe it approbante Principe Ecclesiastico by the allowance of the Pope otherwise his lawes are meere nullities And among their reasons of policie this is one of the principall that they might by this meanes raise a commoditie to the Sea of Rome by the sale of their dispensations Now these points together with the substance of this small discourse I willingly commend vnto your Lordship desiring that vnder the wings of your Honourable protection it may safelie walke abroad in the world to the view and benefit of others The true report of your ancient loue of the truth and fauourable inclination to the Ministers and dispensers thereof hath giuen mee incouragement in this action the rather for that the Argument fitteth in some sort your present estate whose house God hath adorned with oliue plants a vertuous and hopefull issue whose young yeeres being seasoned therein by the sweete sauour of their fathers vertues may yeeld in time a plentifull increase of Honour in this Common-wealth and consequentlie aduance your Name in themselues and their posteritie To this may be added mine own desire to giue some testimonie of dutie to your Lordship as holding it your due to be had in Honourable tearmes with men whose care hath been to maintaine the Honour of the Highest by your constant profession and practise of Religion And thus emboldening my selfe vpon the perswasion of your Lordships fauour and acceptance I humblie take my leaue and commend you to the grace of God who is able to build you vp further and giue you an inheritance among them which are sanctified Finching-field Septemb 26. 1609. Your Lordships to be commanded in all Christian dutie THO. PICKERING A SHORT SVRVEY OF THE RIGHT MANNER OF ERECTING and ordering a Familie according to the Scriptures CHAP. I. Of Christian Oeconomie and of the Familie CHristian Oeconomie is a doctrine of the right ordring of a Familie The onely rule of ordering the Family is the written word of God By it Dauid resolued to gouerne his House whē he saith I will walke in the vprightnesse of my heart in the midst of my house Psal. 101. 2. And Salomon affirmeth that through wisdome an house is builded and with vnderstanding it is established Prou. 24. 3. A Familie is a naturall and simple Societie of certaine persons hauing mutuall relation one to another vnder the priuate gouernement of one These persons must be at the least three because two cannot make a societie And aboue three vnder the same head there may be a thousand in one familie as it is in the households of Princes and men of state in the world CHAP. 2. Of the Household seruice of God A Family for the good estate of it selfe is bound to the performance of two duties one to God the other to it selfe The dutie vnto God is the priuate Worship and Seruice of God which must be established and setled in euery family And the reasons hereof are these First because this duty standeth by the expresse commandement of God who by his Apostle willeth men to pray ●●ery where lifting vp pure hands without ●●rath or doubting 1. Tim. 2. 8. Againe it is confirmed by the cu●●ome and practise of holy men in their ●mes I know saith the Lord touching Abraham that he will commaund his sonnes and his household after him that
