1 Corinthians7:2

Verſe 2. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. To avoid fornication] Gr. Fornications, comprehending all luſtifull burnings, ſelf-pollutions, and all other impurities of a ſingle life. How many are there that enter into Gods ordinance (marriage) thorow the devils portall (fornication) that take ſuch liberty before, that after marriage they rue it all the daies of their lives.

Let every man have his one wife] Not many wives. Turks may have as many as they can keep. And ſome ſenſualiſts plead now for Polygamy. See Mal. 2.15. Scotorum Natio uxores proprias non habet, ſaith Hierom of the old Scots.
