Marriage.
Marriage is no Sacrament, but because it is not a contract merely humane, and God is said to join the parties together, Mat 19. 6. and God first married Adam and Eve. We think it fit that the Pastor, who is the Ambassador of Christ, 2 Cor. 5. 20. should join them together, and instruct them in the doctrine of Marriage, as it is, Gen. 2. 18, 19. Mat. 19. 3, 4. Heb. 13. 4. 1 Cor. 7. expressed by God.
