SECT. II.
THE Abridgement beginneth the proof of the proposition thus. This may appear 1 by the second Come: which forbids all provocation unto spiritual fornication, as the seventh doth unto that which is carnal. 2 By ••e commandment and direction God hath given as in his word, 3 By the equity and reason of these commandments. Now the Def. though he professeth a full answer to all that is objected, yet he silently passeth over the first proof out of the second Command. wholly: and in the 2 and 3 proof, where about forty places of Scripture are cited for confirmation of them, he doth not attempt to answer above 8 or 9. But let us examine his answer to these.
