Unitarians versus Office for Matrimony
saying life
For the same reason they should say
each time a married to rest goes to bed.
And they strive are too
Sir
The tyrannical and ever encroaching
of religious establishments of established religion in general and the Church of England
in particular have not in any instance
been more strikingly exemplified than on the interdiction veto put
upon the marriage contract on the part of all persons
who will not purchase as the price the legal sanction given to it
pay with a solemn act of insincerity, as committed
by representing dealing making on the subject of their opinions on the subject of religion to
be different from what they are in reality.
With the religion of Jesus neither the ma
act of entering into the marriage contract, nor the lines of it
when entered into have anything near to do than will the
religion of : save only be the subject ruling
in any one of the four Gospels. Nothing in any one of the Epistles
except only the one of St Paul's in which speaking of
a man belonging to he assumes his not having more
than one.
Not the transaction or operation of human
life into which factitious religion employing as its
the name of Jesus has not endeavoured and with but success, to introduce its predatory and tormenting
hand.
