1Now resteth to answer to those arguments, which were put forth in the beginning by which seemed to be proved, that conversation together with Infidels is lawful. Christ was alleged who was conversant with Pharisees, Sinners, and Publicans. But he was not only strong and wise, but also the chief of all wise and strong men, and he could so profit the evil, that the malice of others could nothing at all hurt him. Wherefore they which are constant and learned, may lawfully (as we have taught) be conversant with Infidels, to the end thereby to profit them to salvation.

Secondly was brought forth a place of Paul, who prohibited, that a faithful husband or wife should not depart from an Infidel,1 so that he or she were content to dwell together. We declared also that natural and civil necessities, especially such as are instituted of god should be observed. And yet for all that, that which is there said by the Apostle, must not be understand so simply as it is pretended: because if an unfaithful husband should entice his wife being a Christian unto ungodliness, or would not cease to blaspheme Christ, such a matrimony ought not to continue.
