| It is lawful for all sorts of people to marry, who are able with judgment to give their consent;1 yet it is the duty of Christians to marry in the Lord;2 and therefore such as profess the true religion, should not marry with infidels, or idolaters; neither should such as are godly, be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as are wicked in their life, or maintain damnable heresy.3 |
