They object again, that the good which cometh of evil, is a recompensacion, and they will have brothel houses to be suffered, least violence should be offered unto honest Matrons. I have answered before, that evil things are not to ⟨image 240⟩be done, that good things should ensue. Yea, but (say they) God himself hath ordained that the good which cometh of evil, is a recompensacion. For because of the hardness of hart of the Hebrews, that they should not follow greater evils, he granted them the book of divorcement. But these men ought to remember, that we must not call God unto judgement, neither is it lawful to require of him a reason of his laws.1 Wherefore it is no firm conclusion, God did so, therefore it is lawful for us to do the like. We must not look what God hath done, but what he hath commanded us to do. But as concerning divorcement, we shall have occasion in an other place to speak thereof. God saw that hatred often times happeneth between man and wife, and danger of committing murder, which thing rather then it should happen, he granted the book of divorcement. But it is a false argument, God gave the book of divorcement, therefore it is lawful for us to keep brothel houses.
They obiect againe, that the good which commeth of euil, is a recompensacion, and they wil haue brothel houses to be suffered, least violence shoulde be offered vnto honest Matrons. I haue answered before, that euil thinges are not to ⟨image 240⟩be done, that good thinges should ensue. Yea, but (saye they) God himselfe hath ordained that the good which cōmeth of euil, is a recompensacion. For bicause of the hardnes of hart of the Hebrues, that they should not folow greater euils, he graunted them the booke of diuorcement. But these men ought to remēber, that we must not cal God vnto iudgemēt, neither is it lawful to require of hym a reason of his lawes.1 Wherfore it is no firme conclusion, God did so, therefore it is lawful for vs to doo the like. We must not looke what God hath done, but what he hath commaunded vs to doo. But as concerning diuorcement, we shal haue occasion in an other place to speake therof. God saw that hatred oftē tymes happeneth betwene man and wife, and daunger of committing murther, which thing rather then it should happen, he graunted the booke of diuorcement. But it is a false argument, God gaue the booke of diuorcement, therefore it is lawful for vs to keepe brothelhouses.
