31, 32. Moses bade you give your wife a Bill of Divorcement if you put her away: And so you have been taught that this is lawful: But I say to you, that you must not put away a wife save for Fornication, and if you do, you are guilty of making her commit Adultery, and he will live in Adultery that shall marry her.

Note, That Christ here supposeth such other causes as Nature it self alloweth: As if Husband or Wife should resolvedly seek the others death, or be infected with a mortal contagious disease, self preservation alloweth ⟨image 10⟩avoidance till the danger is over: And if any other cause make their cohabitation utterly inconsistent with safety or the ends of Marriage, they may by consent live asunder while that cause continueth.
33. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thy self, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths: 34. But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne: 35. Nor by the earth for it is his footstool, neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; 36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37. But let you communication be Yea, yea, Nay, nay, for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
