CHAP. XXVIII.
That our Lord Christ intended not to make new Laws of marriage and divorce, or of any civil matters.
That our Lord Christ intended not to make new Laws of mariage and divorce, or of any civil matters.
IT is agreed by all who determine of the Kingdom, and offices of 1Christ by the holy Scriptures, as all godly men ought to do, that our Saviour upon earth took not on him either to give new laws in civil affairs, or to change the old. But it is certain that matrimony and divorce are civil things. Which the Christian Emperors knowing, gave conjugal laws; and reserved the administration of them to their own Courts; which no true ancient Bishop ever condemned.
