Whether may a man mary another wife, his first wife being dead?
Hee may.
First, because that saying of God: (It is not good for man to bee a∣lonen 1.1) is generall and perpetually true.
Secondly, the Apostle saith: If the man be deade, the woman is free from the lawe of her husbando 1.2, so as she is no adulteresse, if she be maried to another: and 1. Tim. 5.14. Let younger widowes mary: and 1. Cor. 7.37. The woman is bound by the law vnto her husband be∣ing aliue, but if her (not first, second, or third, but indefinitely) hus∣band be dead, she is at libertie to marie another. So may a man also by the same lawe.
Thirdly, Abraham the father of all beleeuers maried Cethura af∣ter Sarahs deathp 1.3.
Fourthly, because it is better to mary then to burneq 1.4, and vers. 8. & 9. he commaundeth the vnmaried and widowes to mary, if they cannot liue continently: also, If the vnbeleeuer will depart, let him depart: A brother or sister is not subiect in such like things. vers. 15.
