John Trapp on Matthew 19:7

Verse 7. Why did Moses then command &c.] Sophister-like they oppose Moses to God, Scripture to Scripture, as if God were [illegible: 1 word] himself. This is still the guise of [illegible: 1 word] hereticks; [illegible: 1 word] also to mingle and jumble together truths with falshoods, that falshoods may passe the more [illegible: 1 word]. See it in these Pharisees. It was true that Moses commanded (for the honour of the woman, and disgrace of the man,) that he should give her an Abscessionale, a bill of divorcement. But it was not true that Moses commanded to put her away. He permitted such a thing indeed as a civil Magistrate by divine dispensation (better an inconvenience then a mischief) but that makes little for its lawfullnesse.
