And then you are Brethren, called to greater matters, so there is a libertie, a danger, and a restraint upon the danger, and likewise a reason to back it in every particular.
The liberty.1 We may Marry. I will not stand upon that: I had occasion heretofore to speak of it, it is not questioned ⟨p. 25⟩this liberty. There is not only a liberty, but it is an honourable estate, and necessary; honoured in Paradise, honoured by Christs presence. There is no question of the liberty of that by which the Church is maintained, by which the Church is brought into the world, for heaven. There is no question of that, and it was the Devil that brought in a base esteem of that honourable Condition in Popery, wherein they would be rather the members of an Harlot, then the head of a wife. It was the Devil that brought in those abominable opinions and writings to disparage that honourable Condition, and so it must be thought.
