As God hath limited a propinquity, and unity of things, so 1are they to be accounted: but God hath thus nearly knit man and wife together, and made them one flesh. Those whom 2GOD hath joined together, saith Christ of man and wife: in which respect matrimonial conjunction is called the covenant 3of God: so as this covenant cannot be released by any, no not by the mutual consent of man and wife (Those whom GOD hath joined together, let no man put asunder) yet may many other covenants made betwixt party and party, be released and disannulled by mutual consent of both parties.
