Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 7:27

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife .

Art thou bound by marriage, or bound by contract, do not use any sinful ways to be loosed from that bond, either by divorce or by a voluntary departure: if the Unbeliever will depart, he or she may, you are not obliged to court their stay, but do not you put him or her away. Are you free from a wife, either as yet unmarried, or by the hand of God separated, in case you can without sin, abstain. If your circumstances be such, as they do not oblige you to marriage, do not seek a w[illegible: 1 letter]fe. The times are like to be full of trouble and difficulty. Our Master said, Wo to them that are with child, and give suck in those days, Matt. 24.19.
