First, In their marriages. The seed of the Israelites was §1too precious to mingle with the Gentiles, this was forbidden them in Deut. 7.3. and the good man Ezra in the 9. chapter, in the day of humiliation, confessed this sin unto God against them, and this was typified of the Christians under the Gospel that they should not mix themselves with the wicked and ungodly of the world; they must marry in the Lord,1 it is a sad affliction to be unequally yoked; it is reported of Maxentius a cruel tyrant whose custom it was to judg some Malefactors to death after this manner, viz. To have a dead man chained to the living man, till the living man was killed by the dead man. How many living men have dead wives, and living wives dead husbands? Oh how comely a thing it is to see the delight of our eyes, the delight of Gods eyes!
