Of Divorce.

When you shall repudiate your Wives, appoint them the time they must tarry before they again marry, take them with civility and modesty, and in like manner dismiss them; give them presents according to your ability, and take them not to abuse or torment them. They that do thus offend their own Souls. Alchor. cap. 2. pag. 22. He that hath repudiated his Wife thrice, shall not resume her until she hath been married to another who hath Divorced her, Alchor. c 2. p. 22. Then they may return to each other again, and marry without sin. ibid. If the Women Divorced be with Child, allow them what is necessary for them till they be delive∣red, if they desire to Nurse their Children, you shall give them an honest Salary; if ye like not this, ye shall cause them to be Nursed by another, whose pains ye shall reward: if ye be not wealthy ye shall allow according to your power. Alchor. cap. 66.
