Marriage and the church (Corp. Jur. Canon. Decret. Gratian. Decr. Sec. Pars; Jewel; Parker Society, ed., The works of John Jewel, 1848, 3rd portion)

Text: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry..." 1 Timothy 4:1-3
