c. 16, v. 18), and which, being "the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Tim. c. 3, v. 15), we are com- manded by ojur Lord to obey, even as himself (Luke c. 10, v. 16), we can say, with full confidence, that we are placed on solid ground, independently of any other proof from Holy writ ; but they have, besides, for their support, the doctrine and practice of the great Apostle Paul, who has written the first code of legislation, by which the church has been guided in matrimonial con- cerns. In th...e fifth chapter of his Epistle to the Ephe- sians, Saint Paul draws a line of comparison between matrimony and the union of Jesus Christ with the church, of which it has always been a figure — the hus- band being the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church ; and the members of the church, which is the body of Christ, being therefore " the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones," as the first woman, taken out of Adam, was said to be " bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh." He extols the Chris- tian marriage above the ancient one, although the same established by God from the beginning, by the superi- ority of duties resulting from it, such as supernatural love and respect for one another, similar to that which exists between Christ and his church, implying a special grace attached to the same to sanctify the contracting parties, as Christ sanctified the Church, by virtue of which he calls it " a great Sacrament in Christ and in the church ;" and therefore as a sacred thing, as a Min- ister of Christ, and Dispenser of the mysteries of God, he knew he had authority to regulate the marriage con- tract amongst Christians, as he did in many instances, 21 especially in the seventh chapter of the first Epistle to the Corinthians, which would have been in itself suffi- cient guaranty for the church to decide upon her power to regulate by wise laws the matrimonial contract amongst Christians, as we have established above.
