Cohabitation is, that the husband and wife dwell together, enjoying the mutual h••pe and comfort one ⟨p. 6⟩of another, 1 Pet. 3.7. 1 Cor. 7.12, 13. Where the Apostle useth an argument, which if it hold in those marriages where one party is an Infidel, much more then where both are Christians: and this was meant, Gen. 2. ult. in that commandment, that a man should leave all, and cleave to his wife: and this is the ground thereof. Reason is twofold, drawn partly from the benefits that come by Cohabitation, as, first because all marriage duties are hereby better performed, love increased and preserved, the gifts and graces bestowed on either of them shall be better observed, and so God shall be more praised and glorified, their affections more nearly knit together: for absence doth alienate affections, &c.
