John Trapp on Matthew 19:6

Verse 6. They are no more twain] A mans wife is himself, Eph. 5. 28. (as is likewise a mans country, Luk 4 23. to cure his countrey [non-Latin text not transcribed]. is to cure [illegible: 1 word]) and they twain, saith our Saviour in the former verse, shall be [non-Latin text not transcribed], into one flesh. The man misseth his rib, and the woman would be in her old place again, under the mans arm or wing: Hence no rest, till they be [illegible: 1 word] and concorporated, Ruth. 3. 1. My daughter, said Naaman to Ruth, [illegible: 1 word] I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? Why then should there be divorces for light matters? why should there [illegible: 2 words] of wives, and laying upon them (as some) with their unmanly fists? Did ever any man hate his own flesh, Ephes. 5. 29. or but hide his eyes from it, Isa. 58. 7? how much lesse tear it with his teeth, and pull it away piece-meal, unlesse it were mad demoniacks and rash divorcers? Christ, the best husband, hates putting away, Mal. 2. 16. yea though never so much provoked to it ( [illegible: 1 word]. 3. 1. Ioh. 13. 1.) he will not doe it.
