3. 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 Christians^a 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
