Yet how disobey the Church! and how ignore the plain words of her Lord "He that marrieth her that is put away committeth adultery'"? "Marriage is for Christians indissoluble. It bears the sacramental stamp. It is the image, the outward and visible sign of that most awful and most sacred union between Christ and the soul.
Get by heart, as her father advises, half-a-dozen serious texts of Scripture, and drop one in now and then, such as, 'All flesh is grass. 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 'He that marrieth not doth well, but he that marrieth doth better. To be sure, there is a slight inversion of text here, but then it is made more appropriate."
"'For if ye love them which love you, and lend to them which lend to you, what reward shall ye have? "'For whosoever, He says, looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart. "'For whosoever, says He, putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery."
There is a woman, a widow, that oweth a sum of money, and she is threatened to be sued for the debt; now what doth she but marrieth; so, when the action is commenced against her as a widow, the law finds her a married woman; what now can be done? Nothing to her; she is not who she was; she is delivered from that state by her marriage; if anything be done, it must be done to her husband.
"Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away, doth commit adultery." For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as be liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband."
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
"But, Father," I cried, "don't you see that the law has already broken it?" "Only the civil law, my daughter. Remember the words of our blessed and holy Redeemer: 'Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery; and he that marrieth one that is put away committeth adultery. . . . My poor child, my heart bleeds for you, but isn't that the Divine Commandment?"
"Why, lord," says Roger, busily preparing wherewith to break their fast, "when a man marrieth, see you, and thereafter proceedeth forthwith to get him children, as the custom is " "Nay, dost talk folly, Roger!" quoth Beltane, his pale cheek flushing. "Yet folly thou dost dream of, master, and she also else wherefore love " "Nay, Roger, doth Belsaye lie secure yet? What of Walkyn and our comrades?
How comes it, my white man, that such a fair woman as this marrieth so mean-looking a man? Was she a slave? Were she a woman of Ponapé, and of good blood, Nanakin the Great would take her to wife." "Aye," said Chester lazily; "and whence came she and her husband?" "Ha!" said the trader quickly; "what are their names?" She told him, and Chester suddenly felt uncomfortable.
The newspaper, and the unread details which it contained, lost all hold on his attention in an instant, and in their stead, living and burning on his mind, like the Letters of Doom on the walls of Belshazzar, there rose up in judgment against him the last words of a verse in the Gospel of Saint Luke "Whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband, commiteth adultery."
