--When the question was whether men might put away their wives for every fault, the answer is, that Moses did but suffer it to be so, because of the hardness of their hearts, but from the beginning it was not so. Matthew 19:34-37.
--And when the Pharisees were so ignorant, that they thought works of mercy were not to be done upon the Sabbath day, Christ leads them to the first institution of it, and tells them it was made for man. Mark 2:24, 27.
Both these institutions were made for the good and benefit of man in his Paradise estate, which is sufficient proof for their duration."
