4. &c. Look to the original and you shall find that God made them one Male and one Female, and by the ⟨image 28⟩Law of Conjugality, united them for procreation and converse as into One; the Relative Union being likened to a natural union of the parts of one body: and that so nearly, that on this account Father and Mother were to be left to a closer union with a wife. Therefore do not you separate that which God hath so nearly united.
