6 And they took the Daughters of them to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons: and served their Gods. 7 Wherefore the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and forgot the Lord their God, & served Baalim, & groves.

And we in our time see great hinderance to come unto the believers, because very many of them contract matrimony with Papists. The third sin
