Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
Among the Heathen Romans while good orders flourished, the woman that committed adultery suffered death: afterward good orders being overthrown, she was divorced only.
John Rainolds, A defence of the judgment of the Reformed churches. That a man may lawfully not only put away his wife for her adultery, but also marry another. Wherein both Robert Bellarmine the Jesuits Latin treatise, and an English pamphlet of a nameless author maintaining the contrary are confuted by John Rainolds. A taste of Bellarmine’s dealing in controversies of religion: how he depraveth Scriptures, misalleagth fathers, and abuseth reasons to the perverting of the truth of God, and poisoning of his Church with error (Dordrecht: George Walters, 1609), p. 94.
