is sanctioned--in effect thus anticipating the later distinction
between divorce _quoad thorum_ and _quoad vinculum_; or, if such
separation be sanctioned, whether, in sharp contrast to the spirit
of Jewish law, the wife is placed on a level with the husband in
this regard.
[Footnote 29: The principal passages are Matt. 5:31, 32; 19:3-12;

In general, on the interpretation of these passages, consult

[Footnote 30: On the use here of the generic term _porneia_
(fornication), instead of the specific _moicheia_ (adultery), see
MILTON, "Tetrachordon," _Prose Works_, III, 394 ff.; also the
labored argument of WOOLSEY, _Divorce_, 60-70; ZHISHMAN, _Das
Eherecht der orient. Kirche_, 578 ff.; MEYRICK, in _Dict. Christ.
Ant._, II, 1110; GRAY, _Husband and Wife_, 95, 104 ff.; LUCKOCK,
_Hist. of Marriage_, 56, 57; AP RICHARD, _Marriage and Divorce_,
80; SELDEN, _Uxor ebraica_, III, 23, 27.
The scope of _porneia_ is of historical importance; for some of
the early Fathers and some of the leaders of the Reformation
by giving it an allegorical meaning sought to multiply the
scriptural grounds of divorce. _Cf._ FREISEN, _Geschichte des
can. Eherechts_, 770; also MILTON, in _Prose Works_, III, 255
ff., 394 ff. In general read the elaborate essay of MORGAN,
_Marriage, Adultery, and Divorce_, II, 394-550, on _porneia_.]
