3 God forbade conjugal Covenants or Marrying with them. Exod: 34, 16. Deut: 7, 3. The rule is the same against matching with other wicked persons, whether Idolaters or professing the same Religion with us. We read not of Idolatry or any professed doctrinal differences in Religion between the Posterity of Seth and the posterity of Cain, yet this was the great thing that corrupted the old world and brought on the flood, that the children of God joined themselves in Marriage with the profane, Gen: 6, 1, 2, 3. Jehoram married not ⟨p. 176⟩an heathen, but the daughter of Ahab; but 'tis marked, he did evil as did the house of Ahab; And what is the reason given for this? For the daughter of Ahab was his wife, 2 Kings 8, 18, and by and by, vers: 27. the like is marked of Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, who did evil in the sight of the Lord as did the house of Ahab, for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab. The Apostle Peter supposeth that Christians marry such as are heirs together of the grace of life, 1 Peter 3, 7. see also, Pro: 31. 30.
