After Samson and the woman had agreed about their marriage, he went again afterward and took her to be his wife: and what fell out in the 1way as he went is showed. By the first of these two, in that he married her 2afterward and took her for his wife, when he had now first consented with her to live together as man and wife, and that with his parents agreeing thereto; all these do prove that the uniting of one man and one woman 3together in marriage, is a solemn ordinance of God, and appointed by him, and so it is likewise blessed by him, where he is obeyed in it: and that the loose and brutish living together otherwise, (as one man with many women, &c.) is most unfitting a Christian, and contrary to God; ordinance, and bringeth forth most noisome evils: even as the parting and separation of one of the married persons from the other, save for adultery, is odious. And this of the first of the two points be said briefly, seeing occasion is offered to speak more particularly of it elsewhere.
