A44074 A treatise of marriage with a defence of the 32th article of religion of the Church of England : viz. bishops, priests and deacons are not commanded by God's law either to vow the state of single life, or to abstain from marriage : therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness. Hodges, Thomas, d. 1688. 1673 (1673) Wing H2324; ESTC R28670 53,897 120
