Whereas Christ names adulterie to be the onely cause of diuorcea 1.1, how shall we reconcile Paule, who doth alow diuorce for desertionb 1.2?

Christ speaketh of making diuorce, or of him that putteth away vniustly, touching whom he was asked the question onely: but Paule speaketh of the patient, or him that is forsaken vniustly; who being asked if the vnbeleeuer should forsake the beleeuer, whether that the beleeuer were so bound vnto the other, that he might not matie againe? he answereth: If the vnbeleeuer depart, the partie for∣saken is free from that bond, hauing first vsed all meanes to rec••ll the vnbeleeuer vnto her former dutie. Againe thus, Christ spea∣keth of Diuorce making, Paule of Diuorce suffering for desertion. Christ speaketh (as Augustine witnesseth) of mariage betweene e∣quals,c 1.3 but Paul of maried persons dissenting in religion. For wher∣as he saith: Be not vnequally yoaked with Infidelsd 1.4, hee forbiddeth it not, as if being contracted, it were to be made void, but hee doth disswaded it as ioyned with scandall, and dangerous.
