THE CONTENTS OF THE CHAPTERS.
The first Chapter. The state of the question between the church of Rome, & the reformed churches being first declared, the truth is proved by scripture: That a man having put away his wife for her adultery may lawfully marry another. The second Chapter. The places of scripture alleged by our adversaries to disprove the lawful liberty of marriage after divorcement for adultery, are proposed, examined, & proved not to make against it. The third Chapter. The consent of Fathers, the second pretended proof for the Papists doctrine in this point, is pretended falsely: & if all be weighed in an even balance, the Fathers check it rather. The fourth Chapter. The conceits of reasons urged last against us are oversights proceeding from darkness, not from light: & reason it self, dispelling the mist of Popish probabilities, giveth clear testimony with the truth of Christ.
