What therefore God hath ioyned together, let not man put asunder. 7They say vnto him, Why did Moses then command to giue a writing of diuorcement, and to put her away? 8Hee saith vnto them, Moses, because of the hardnesse of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wiues: but from the beginning it was not so.
