It is lawful for all sorts of people to Marry, who are able with judgment to give their consent; yet it is the duty of Christiansa to marry in the Lord, and therefore such as profess the true Religion, should not Marry with Infidels,b or Idolaters; neither should such as are godly be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as are wicked, in their life, or maintain damnable Heresie.c
