Excerpt from A Treatise on the Christian Doctrine of Marriage, With a Biographical Sketch of the Author, and an Appendix Containing Bp: Andrewes Discourse Against Second Marriage, Etc
With respect to the rule of indissolubleness, it is admitted that there is one exception made by our blessed Saviour Himself. It is the adultery Of the wife. 'except in that case, all separation of married persons is forbidden and prima facie sinful, so that it can only be excused by an overwhelming necessity. When a legitimate divorce takes place in the excepted case, both parties are held to be absolutely at liberty, and may marry.
