Peter As in the old law schisms so in the new law heresies spring vp The Childrē of Israël fell into schisms when they fell away from their due Obedience to the Chaire of Moyses and Christians fall into heresies as oft as they rise against the Chaire of S. Peter coyning or following vnauthorised nouelties whereby Christian souls are misled into most desperate precipices of errours in regard whereof I haue been mou'd to write a Theology conform to the ancient Cycli and weights of the holy Churches sanctuary that is to set forth a whole body of Christian doctrine built vpon Scriptures Traditions Councils and Fathers which deserue to be prefer'd before Schollars of new Notions that is Christian people ought to adhere conforme their conciences to and rely their eternity rather on those then these which is the Counsell that the great S. Austin guies in his 2. Booke against Julian the Pelagian Bishop who had brocht new opinions to the preiudice of souls exhorting all Christians to regard rather the learning of the holy Fathers which flourished in the precedent ages and the constant and vniuersall practice of the Catholicke Church then the prophane nouelties vented and spred by the Pelagians Saying Hos antiquos Patres oportet vt Christiani populi vestris prophanis nouitatibus anteponant eisque potius quam vobis eligant adherere My lord herein lies the sole intent of these conceptions which I present you with and vnder your authority aduenture into publick view vnto aduantaging such as are piously sober d Secundum S.

According to S. Austin l. de bono coniug c. 24. euery marriage is in order to generation but christian marriage onely is inuested with the dignity of a Sacrament haue nothing of a Sacrament taken in the proper sense viz for an outward practicall sign of sanctifying grace that is for a sensible ceremony that in vertue of it's institution can effectually sanctify which is an effect proper only to the Sacrament's of the new law wherof Baptism is the doore howeuer they be ciuill contracts conformable to the law of nature and by no diuine law forbidden and therfore lawfull * 2. Cor. 6. Nolite ducere iugum cū infidelibus yet the marriage of a christian belieuer with an infidell of what kinde soeuer when there appeareth danger of subuersion therby is against the dictates of nature which oblige euery one to auoide whatsoeuer tendes to his ruine in consequence whereof such marriages be vnlawfull in respect wherof the Apostle 2. Cor. 6. forbiddeth the Corinthians conuerted to the faith of Christ to beare the yoake with Infidells which is meant in regard of the danger as to subuersion and indeed no diuine ordinance making such marriages vnlawfull appeares either by the old or new Testament for Salomon euen at that time when the old scripture reported him to be loued of God and to walk in all the commandements of his Father Dauid married the daughter of Pharao and though God Exod. 34. prohibited Moses to make any compact with the Amorites and the Cananites which adored false Gods or to take wiues of their daughters for his sons (i) S. Austin l. de fide operibus c. 19. treating of marriages between Catholick's and Hereticks affirm's that in his dayes they were not counted as sinnes because in the new Testament nothing is commanded in Order to such marriages neuerthelesse that diuine prohibition according to the precise form of speech was in reference only to the danger of subuersion which by the law of nature euery man is obliged to auoide for God maketh the eminent danger of their ruine to be the ground of his prohibition adding these words Lest their daughters goe a fornicating after their Gods and make thy sons goe a fornicating after their Gods neither doth the new Testament expresse any speciall law that prohibiteth christians to marry with Infidells Besides in the primitiue times (k) Clodoueus king of France was conuerted to the faith of Christ by the means of his Queen that was a christian Again S. Monica S. Austins Mother preuail'd with her husband and S. Cicily with her spouse Valerianus to embrace the christian Religion which verifies what the Apostle saith 1. Cor. 7. The vnbelieuing husband is sanctifyed by a belieuing wife sundry gallant women for vertue and sanctity were yoked with vnbelieuing husbands and the supream prouidence blessed their marriages with happy success vsing them as a means to bring their said husbands to the marueilous light of christian faith Notwithstanding the catholick Church wisely considering that many spirituall subuersions and other great inconueniences arose from such marriages hath euen anciently prohibited and annulled them that is hath disenabled christians to beare the yoke with Infidells wherby is euident that the marriage of a Catholick with an Heretick is vnlawfull in respect of an ecclesiasticall constitution only * Ex cap. ex literis extra de consuetudine talis cōsuetudo quae est in Polonia aequipollet legi sed lex posterior potest abrogare priorē which in Poland and germany seemeth to be abrogated by a contrary custome introduced with the tacite consent at least of the Churches chief Pastor the Churches consent express or tacite being a necessary requisite to the introducing of a Custome vnto the abrogating of an ecclesiasticall law in regard of Catholicks and hereticks promiscuous liuing together and the toleration of them both (l) As to the marriages of Catholicks with Hereticks that matter of controuersy was at sundry tymes disputed before Pope Clement the 8. by many learned Cardinalls and other famous diuin's which with one accord declar'd that his Holines might lawfully grant leaue vnto a Catholick to marry with an Heretick or Infidel and in Poland and Germany where there is toleration of one and the other profession and where Catholicks and Hereticks liue promiscuously together such marriages are vsuall and common either in regard in those countryes it is a Custome introduced through a tacite consent of the sea Apostolick which hath abrogated the ecclesiasticall law that forbiddeth such marriages and they be forbidden in the Councils Laodis sub Syluestro Carthag 3. and others or because in those Countries which giue freedom in the exercise of euery Christian profession there is no morall apparent danger of subuersion as to to Catholicks And it matters not that when a catholick man or woman marrying with an Heretick knowes that the party he or she that marryes will minister and receiue the Sacrament vnworthily for the marriage thereby no more ceases to be a Sacrament then Baptism ceaseth to be a Sacrament vnworthily receiu'd neither doth the Catholick sinne therby because Vtitur iure suo duntaxat For example a man that through necessity borrow's money of an vsurer whom he knows morally will exact vnlawfull lucre doth not offend because he vseth but his own right and the vsurer if he would might cōmit no sin being in his power to pleasure his neighbour in an vrgent necessity without exacting or expecting gain for the loan of his money which probably taketh away eminent dāgerof subuersion in order to a Catholick man or woman so marrying and his or her children howeuer it doth not lie in the Churches power to loose the knot of christian marriage after consummation hath tied it vpon any occasion whatsoeuer either for adultery or any other enormous crime so as to giue leaue to the innocent party to marry again whiles the other liueth for no humane authority can put a sunder that which God coupled together wherfore the Apostle saies 1. Cor. 7. And to the married I command not I but our lord let not the wife depart from her husband where he expresseth a double departure the one vniust forbidden by the words set downe the other iust in respect of a lawfull cause namely fornication which he alloweth vpon condition only adding But if she depart let her remain vnmarried or he reconciled vnto her husband signifying therby the bond of marriage to be vndissoluble Again Christ Math. 5 reuoking the bill of diuorcement that God had granted to the Iews during the old law because of the hardness of their hearts and reducing marriage to the institution it had in the begining of creation said to the Pharisies Whosoeuer shall put away his wife except for * Nomine adulterij siue formeationis intelligitur omnis copula illicita violans sidem matrimonij per diuisionē carnis cōtra illud erūt duo in carne vna fornication
