Excerpt from A History of Matrimonial Institutions Chiefly in England and the United States With an Introductory Analysis, Vol. 2 Spirit grants desertion to be a cause of divorce, in those answers given to the Corinthians. But some will say, that this is spoken of a misbeliever departing. But I beseech ye, doth not he reject the faith of Christ in his deeds, who rashly breaks the holy covenant of wedlock instituted by God? And besides this, the Holy Spirit does not make the misbelieving of him who departs, but the departing of him who disbelieves, to be the just cause of freedom to the brother or sister. Since therefore it will be agreed among Christians, that they who depart from wedlock without just cause, do not only deny the faith of matrimony, but of Christ also, whatever they profess with their months; it is but reason to conclude, that the party deserted is not bound in case of causeless desertion, but that he may lawfully see]: another consort, if it be needful to him, toward a pure and blameless conversation. Cf. Also the argument of milton, The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce, Prose Works, III, 253, 259. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
