Of
Marriage
and
Wiuing
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
first
Institution
and
Authour
of
Marriage
.
IT
is
not
good
for
man
to
bee
alone
(
saith
the
alone
and
absolute
Goodnesse
of
all
goodnesse
it selfe
)
〈…〉
mus
ergo
adiutorem
〈◊〉
:
Let
vs
therefore
make
him
a
helper
meete
for
him
:
So
the
creation
of
the
woman
was
to
be
a
helper
to
the
man
,
not
a
hinderer
,
a
companion
for
his
comfort
,
not
a
vexation
to
his
sorrow
,
for
Consortium
est
Solatium
,
Company
is
comfortable
though
neuer
so
small
,
and
Adam
tooke
no
little
ioy
in
this
his
single
companion
,
being
thereby
fréed
from
that
solitude
and
silence
which
his
lonenesse
would
else
haue
bene
subiect
vnto
,
had
there
beene
no
other
end
nor
vse
in
her
more
,
then
this
her
bare
presence
and
society
alone
:
But
besides
all
this
,
the
earth
is
large
and
must
be
peopled
,
and
therefore
they
are
now
the
Crowne
of
his
Workemanship
,
the
last
and
best
and
perfectest
peece
of
his
handiworke
diuided
into
Genders
,
as
the
rest
of
His
creatures
are
,
Male
and
Female
,
fit
and
enabled
Procreare
sibi
similem
to
bring
forth
their
like
,
to
accomplish
his
will
,
who
thus
blessed
their
fruitfulnesse
in
the
Bud
:
Increase
&
multiply
,
and
replenish
the
earth
.
Well
might
S.
Paul
say
,
obseruing
this
,
Marriage
is
honorable
amongst
al
men
,
&
the
bed
vndefiled
;
since
God
himselfe
was
the
Author
and
Institutor
thereof
euen
in
Paradice
,
who
gaue
the
woman
in
the
in
,
before
in
his
sleepe
Adam
lost
a
Rib
,
but
now
〈…〉
Reperit
Costam
,
he
hath
his
Rib
againe
with
〈…〉
encrease
,
branched
into
many
Veines
and
Ribs
,
and
〈◊〉
and
Arteries
,
of
wonderfull
vse
,
and
admirabl●
〈◊〉
.
So
the
creation
of
woman
as
it
was
for
man
,
〈…〉
out
of
man
;
Adam
was
made
of
the
same
of
the
earth
,
and
were
it
not
to
make
woman
proud
,
I
would
〈…〉
was
of
that
better
substance
,
of
that
well
husbanded
workeman-ship
,
and
refined
matter
,
refined
and
〈◊〉
by
the
touch
of
his
hands
,
in
moulding
to
so
exc●llent
a
proportion
as
man
,
of
a
bone
taken
out
of
his
side
(
which
that
side
euer
wanteth
since
as
Anatomists
obserue
)
to
make
him
the
more
plyable
towards
her
;
not
of
a
bone
of
his
foote
,
that
she
should
be
so
low
or
contemptible
,
or
of
his
head
,
so
high
or
ambitious
,
but
of
his
side
,
a
middle
part
,
that
shee
might
bee
of
a
middle
condition
,
his
fellow
and
companion
,
not
his
seruant
or
slaue
,
for
Socij
sunt
qui
iunguntur
lateribus
,
they
are
fellowes
that
walke
side
by
side
:
of
a
bone
neare
to
his
heart
,
to
put
him
in
minde
of
dilection
and
loue
;
from
vnder
his
arme
of
protection
and
defence
,
&c.
Now
the
Author
of
this
creation
we
finde
here
to
be
the
Author
of
this
Mystery
;
He
who
made
the
woman
of
the
man
gaue
her
to
the
man
,
euen
God
himselfe
,
who
as
Cassianus
saith
further
,
in
the
very
prime
and
beginning
of
the
world
,
Dedit
,
this
Vnam
Vni
,
gaue
this
one
woman
to
one
man
,
and
no
more
then
one
,
although
for
the
increase
and
peopling
of
all
the
yet
vnhabited
Regions
and
Kingdomes
of
the
earth
:
In
which
,
no
doubt
,
the
Diuine
Wisedome
had
a
respect
to
the
loue
,
not
to
the
lust
of
man
;
aiming
hereby
to
aduance
the
one
,
and
suppresse
the
other
,
for
where
loue
is
diuided
there
it
is
weakned
,
can
neuer
be
strong
,
and
as
we
see
by
experience
,
he
who
loues
many
formally
neuer
loues
any
feruently
,
for
vnity
is
loues
number
,
cannot
transcend
,
and
God
would
haue
an
entire
affection
betweene
the
husband
and
the
wife
,
which
he
himselfe
in
person
thus
vouchsafed
to
honor
by
coniunction
,
that
as
the●e
bodies
were
then
not
two
,
so
their
desires
should
be
but
one
,
and
withall
to
insinuate
by
this
his
proper
institution
the
more
respect
and
reuerence
to
that
holy
ordination
,
which
had
so
high
a
beginning
and
so
holy
an
end
,
honoured
by
his
Person
,
by
his
Prophets
,
by
his
Miracles
,
and
which
should
so
generally
be
exercised
,
throughout
all
estates
and
conditions
,
ages
and
times
,
to
the
end
of
the
world
,
and
decistency
of
all
things
,
which
by
this
meanes
(
ere
that
eternall
dissolution
)
should
runne
a
long
and
continued
race
in
despight
of
graue
and
death
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
execellency
of
Marriage
,
with
the
consequence
and
vse
thereof
.
THE
excellency
thereof
doth
the
more
manifest
it selfe
in
this
,
in
that
it
was
an
addition
of
beatitude
and
blessednesse
,
to
that
happy
and
absolute
estate
that
Adam
had
in
his
first
creation
and
innocency
,
that
it
was
so
pretious
flower
that
it
would
not
thriue
but
in
so
pure
a
soyle
,
that
God
himselfe
was
the
Authour
to
institute
it
,
and
the
Priest
to
celebrate
it
,
ere
euer
sinne
and
impurity
had
tainted
the
earth
,
or
blemished
the
Angelicall
beauty
of
either
the
Bride
or
Bridegroome
;
and
though
the
consequence
in
that
place
brought
sorrow
and
death
,
yet
hath
it
a
relation
to
as
full
,
nay
more
ample
ioy
and
life
in
the
extent
and
determination
thereof
,
then
it
could
otherwise
haue
had
in
that
first
perseuerance
and
fruiton
,
from
which
,
though
now
by
sinne
,
our
best
faculties
,
priuiledges
and
prerogatiues
,
in
all
kinds
,
are
so
clowded
,
eclypsed
and
fallen
away
,
that
wee
discerne
not
aright
the
excellencies
,
true
vses
and
ends
of
so
Diuine
a
Mystery
in
it selfe
,
notwithstanding
we
do
yet
in
this
twylight
perceiue
such
glimpses
and
sparkles
of
originall
purity
and
felicity
vnextinguished
therein
,
that
we
are
wedded
by
our
owne
wils
,
and
induced
by
so
naturall
a
coaction
to
the
embracement
thereof
for
the
mutuall
society
and
comfort
of
life
,
without
which
it
could
neither
subsist
nor
continue
,
more
then
to
any
other
duty
or
action
therein
,
commanded
or
required
whatsoeuer
.
From
the
excellency
of
the
institution
,
come
wee
to
the
excellency
of
the
true
vse
,
the
danger
of
the
contrary
,
and
therefore
the
deepe
regard
to
be
had
before
hand
,
as
in
the
enterprise
it selfe
,
being
of
such
weighty
moment
and
import
of
which
one
thus
further
displaying
it
,
writeth
.
Marriage
of
all
the
humane
actions
of
a
mans
life
,
is
one
of
the
greatest
weight
and
consequence
,
as
thereon
depending
the
future
good
,
or
euill
,
of
a
mans
whole
after-time
,
and
dayes
;
that
Gordian
knot
once
fastened
not
to
be
vnloosed
but
by
death
,
the
meanes
either
to
exalt
an
high
to
preferment
,
or
cast
downe
headlong
to
destruction
,
and
the
present
disposer
of
a
mans
whole
estate
and
fortune
to
his
greatest
ioy
or
mysery
,
and
therefore
with
his
tale
pondus
,
(
as
before
)
not
be
danced
into
lightly
or
vnaduisedly
,
with
the
first
that
comes
to
hand
,
as
a
blind
man
layes
his
hold
,
but
soberly
entered
vpon
with
mature
aduise
,
yeares
,
and
deliberation
,
consent
,
and
counsell
of
Parents
and
Friends
:
For
it
is
in
this
action
as
in
a
Stratageme
of
warre
:
Wherein
he
that
erres
can
erre
but
once
,
perisheth
vnrecouerably
to
all
after
aduice
and
reliefe
:
And
therefore
that
merry
prouerbe
is
not
amisse
,
that
thus
implyeth
;
That
in
Wiuing
and
Thriuing
,
a
man
should
aske
counsell
of
all
the
world
,
it
being
a
matter
of
such
difficulty
,
doubt
,
and
danger
to
bee
resolued
in
;
such
a
continuall
storme
and
tempest
to
those
that
lanch
not
forth
in
a
prosperous
gale
,
hauing
peruerted
their
felicity
therein
by
running
from
the
rule
of
God
in
their
choyce
,
that
(
with
Ionas
)
such
to
be
deliuered
,
were
better
be
cast
aliue
into
the
Sea
,
to
the
belly
of
the
Whale
,
and
mercy
of
the
mercilesse
bottomlesse
deepe
(
though
with
him
they
neuer
came
to
shoare
againe
)
then
indure
such
a
perpetuall
vexation
it
is
the
harbenger
vnto
,
with
such
a
Leuiathan
of
the
Land
as
is
a
furious
woman
:
for
as
a
vertuous
woman
is
a
hauen
of
beauty
,
so
a
wicked
woman
is
a
sea
of
euils
,
and
in
her
tyde
more
full
then
that
element
of
monsters
,
worse
far
to
liue
with
then
a
smoaky
house
,
for
that
for
the
most
part
,
offends
onely
the
eyes
in
the
head
,
but
this
all
the
sences
in
the
body
:
Nay
,
he
that
hath
such
a
Familiar
,
hath
a
worse
neighbour
of
his
owne
,
then
Horsam
should
haue
had
,
if
her
fabulous
Dragon
had
beene
true
:
Yet
though
in
the
curse
it
be
subiect
to
these
euils
,
blesse
it
in
the
true
vse
,
and
it
is
of
all
humane
comforts
the
greatest
;
for
if
the
mutuall
society
betweene
friend
and
friend
be
so
great
,
that
in
affliction
it
administreth
comfort
,
and
in
ioy
it
heapeth
the
measure
to
the
brime
,
by
detracting
from
the
sowre
,
and
adding
to
the
sweete
,
by
a
sensible
participation
of
eithers
quality
,
how
much
more
then
shall
it
be
enlarged
by
such
a
friend
,
which
is
to
vs
a
second
selfe
,
or
Treasurer
of
our
owne
thoughts
,
and
therefore
more
neerely
interressed
in
either
the
one
or
the
other
.
Besides
this
,
in
thy
Marriage
,
the
very
name
whereof
should
portend
vnto
theee
Merry-age
,
thou
not
onely
vnitest
vnto
thy selfe
a
friend
,
and
comfort
for
society
,
but
also
a
companion
for
pleasure
,
and
in
some
sort
a
seruant
for
profite
too
,
for
a
wife
is
all
these
:
Besides
,
by
the
excellency
and
blessing
of
this
institution
,
thou
continuest
thy
name
,
thy
likenesse
,
and
thy
Generation
walkes
vpon
earth
,
and
so
liuest
in
thy
similitude
,
in
despight
of
death
,
when
thou
thy selfe
art
dead
,
and
raked
vp
in
dust
,
and
otherwise
without
remembrance
,
vnlesse
by
some
ruinous
stone
,
or
ragged
Epitaph
,
and
so
(
in
some
sort
)
makest
thy
body
immortall
,
like
thy
soule
,
and
not
onely
by
this
dost
thou
adde
to
the
Sons
of
the
earth
,
but
to
the
Saints
of
heauen
;
Besides
,
by
this
so
excellent
,
so
honourably
accounted
of
amongst
all
men
are
thy
wilde
and
vnbrideled
affections
reduced
to
humanity
and
ciuility
,
to
mercy
and
clemency
,
and
thou
thy selfe
called
backe
to
looke
into
thy selfe
,
and
to
vnderstand
the
substance
and
truth
of
things
,
and
therefore
he
that
hath
no
wife
is
said
to
be
a
man
vnbuilt
that
wanteth
one
of
his
ribbes
,
a
sleepe
as
Adam
was
till
his
wife
was
made
,
for
marriage
awaketh
the
vnderstanding
as
out
of
a
dreame
;
and
he
that
hath
no
wife
is
said
to
be
a
man
in
the
midst
of
the
sea
,
perishing
for
want
of
this
ship
to
waft
him
to
shore
:
Is
said
to
be
parched
in
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
that
hath
not
this
Vine
to
rest
him
vnder
her
shadow
:
If
sickenesse
come
it
brings
thee
a
Physition
;
if
health
continue
it
is
partly
a
preseruer
.
But
to
go
further
,
to
equall
it
with
the
best
commended
Virginity
,
where
is
the
man
this
day
liuing
whose
Virginity
may
be
compared
with
Abrahams
Mariage
,
in
whom
all
the
Nations
of
the
earth
were
blessed
,
S.
Austin
opposeth
it
to
the
Virginity
of
S.
Iohn
:
But
the
greatest
authority
we
haue
in
praise
of
Marriage
,
is
the
vnion
of
Christ
with
his
Church
compared
vnto
it
:
The
Bond
whereof
is
the
holy
Ghost
,
the
contract
the
Gospell
,
the
Apostles
the
Registers
,
all
married
men
,
except
S.
Iohn
and
S.
Paul
:
And
Iesus
Christ
sealed
it
with
his
Bloud
,
the
betrothing
whereof
is
heere
below
in
the
Church
,
but
the
wedding
it selfe
shall
be
solemnized
in
heauen
:
It
is
likewise
the
originall
of
all
paires
,
of
all
couples
,
Primum
par
,
fundamentum
parium
saith
one
,
father
and
childe
,
maister
and
seruant
,
husband
and
wife
,
all
grow
out
of
this
first
vnion
and
coniunction
,
all
kindred
and
affinity
in
the
world
take
their
birth
from
this
roote
,
without
which
men
would
liue
dispearsed
like
sauage
beasts
and
irrationall
creatures
,
without
distinction
or
separation
of
Tribe
or
family
,
which
are
the
first
parts
of
a
Common-wealth
.
CHAP.
III.
Worldly
choyce
what
it
is
,
or
how
,
for
the
most
part
men
choose
their
wiues
.
IT
is
a
fashion
much
in
vse
in
these
times
to
choose
wiues
as
Chapmen
sell
their
wares
,
with
Quantum
dabitis
?
what
is
the
most
you
will
giue
?
and
if
their
parents
,
or
guardians
shall
reply
there
vertues
are
their
portions
,
and
others
haue
they
none
,
let
them
be
as
dutifull
as
Sara
,
as
vertuous
as
Anna
,
as
obedient
as
the
Virgine
Mary
;
these
to
the
wise
man
,
euery
one
a
rich
portion
,
and
more
pretious
then
the
gold
of
Ophire
,
shall
be
nothing
valued
,
or
make
vp
where
wealth
is
wanting
;
these
may
be
adiuncts
or
good
additions
,
but
money
must
be
the
principall
,
of
all
that
marry
,
and
(
that
scope
is
large
)
there
are
but
few
that
vndergoe
it
for
the
right
end
and
vse
,
whereby
it
comes
to
passe
that
many
attaine
not
to
the
blessednesse
therein
.
Some
vndergoe
this
curse
in
steed
of
blessing
,
meerely
for
lust
chusing
their
wiues
most
vnfitly
,
as
Adulteresses
,
and
such
are
said
to
marry
by
the
eye
,
looking
no
further
then
a
carnall
beauty
is
distinguished
,
which
consists
in
the
outward
shape
and
lyneaments
of
the
body
,
as
in
gate
,
gesture
,
countenance
,
behauiour
,
&c.
And
for
such
a
one
so
she
be
faire
,
and
can
kisse
,
she
hath
portion
enough
for
such
a
Pirate
:
but
when
this
flower
withers
,
as
it
is
of
no
continuance
,
for
diseases
blast
it
,
age
deuoures
it
,
discontent
doth
wither
it
(
onely
vertue
is
not
foyled
by
these
aduersaries
)
what
shall
continue
loue
as
then
to
the
end
,
there
Winter
sure

How
to
choose
a
good
wife
from
a
bad
.
THis
vndertaking
is
a
matter
of
some
difficulty
,
for
good
wiues
are
many
times
so
like
vnto
bad
,
that
they
are
hardly
discerned
betwixt
,
they
could
not
otherwise
deceiue
so
many
as
they
do
,
for
the
deuill
can
transforme
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
Light
,
the
better
to
draw
others
into
the
chaines
of
darkenesse
,
so
these
,
his
creatures
,
themselues
into
the
shape
of
honesty
,
the
better
to
intangle
others
in
the
bonds
of
repentance
:
If
therefore
the
yoke
of
marriage
be
of
such
perpetuity
,
and
lasting
euen
Vsque
ad
naecem
,
and
the
ioyes
or
grieuance
thereon
depending
of
equall
continuance
therwith
,
either
to
make
a
short
heauen
or
hell
in
this
world
,
is
not
therefore
to
bee
vndergone
but
vpon
the
duest
regard
,
&
most
aduised
consideration
that
may
be
,
and
because
it
is
such
a
sea
,
wherein
so
many
shipwracke
for
want
of
better
knowledge
and
aduise
vpon
a
Rock
,
that
tooke
not
better
counsell
in
the
hauen
,
I
haue
therefore
,
in
some
sort
,
to
preuent
this
danger
,
erected
(
as
it
were
)
certaine
Land-markes
and
directions
in
the
way
,
to
giue
aime
to
such
passengers
as
shall
héereafter
expose
themselues
to
the
mercy
of
this
fury
,
and
the
rather
because
our
age
is
so
aduenturous
,
whether
boldnes
or
blindnes
be
their
guid
,
the
meere
children
dare
vndertake
with
vessels
scarce
capable
to
hoyse
vp
sayle
,
&
aduenture
those
passages
,
the
former
tunes
in
their
nonage
,
nere
president
vs
in
the
like
,
would
haue
thought
scarce
nauigable
,
but
many
times
this
calme
that
leads
them
forth
in
a
sun-shine
with
pleasure
,
brings
them
home
in
a
tempest
with
sorrow
;
and
therefore
(
as
I
said
)
hee
that
would
not
repent
him
afterwards
let
him
be
aduised
before
,
for
wise
fore-sight
for
the
most
part
is
crowned
with
happy
successe
,
therefore
say
not
hereafter
(
for
it
is
a
weake
remedy
)
Vtinam
saperem
,
would
God
I
had
bene
better
aduised
,
but
be
so
.
The
first
aime
that
I
would
giue
to
him
,
that
would
aduenture
this
voyage
(
for
marriage
is
an
aduenture
,
for
whosoeuer
marries
aduentures
,
hee
aduentures
his
peace
,
his
freedome
,
his
liberty
,
his
body
;
yea
,
and
sometimes
his
soule
too
)
is
,
that
in
his
election
,
after
hee
hath
made
choice
of
his
wife
,
which
euer
I
would
haue
grounded
vpon
some
of
these
promising
likely-hoods
,
vid.
that
she
be
of
a
sober
and
milde
aspect
,
courteous
behauiour
,
decent
carriage
,
of
a
fixed
eye
,
constant
looke
,
and
vnaffected
gate
,
the
contrary
being
oftentimes
signes
of
ill
portent
and
consequence
;
for
as
the
common
saying
is
,
an
honest
woman
dwels
at
the
signe
of
an
honest
countenance
,
and
wilde
lookes
(
for
the
most
part
)
accompany
wilde
conditions
;
a
rowling
eye
is
not
fixed
,
but
would
fixe
vpon
obiects
it
likes
,
it
lookes
for
,
and
affected
nicety
is
euer
a
signe
of
lasciuious
petulancy
.
Next
regard
,
according
as
thine
estate
and
condition
shall
best
instruct
thee
,
the
education
,
and
quality
,
of
her
thou
hast
so
elected
;
her
personage
not
being
vnrespected
,
for
loue
lookes
sometimes
as
well
with
the
eye
of
the
body
,
as
with
the
minde
,
and
beauty
in
some
begets
affection
,
and
affection
augmenteth
loue
,
whereas
the
contrary
would
decrease
,
and
diminish
it
,
and
so
bring
thee
to
a
●eath●d
bed
,
which
must
be
vtterly
taken
heed
of
,
for
the
dangerous
consequences
that
follow
;
therefore
,
let
thy
wisedome
so
gouerne
thine
affection
,
that
as
it
ceize
not
vp
deformity
to
thine
owne
proper
vse
,
for
some
sinister
respect
to
be
shortly
after
repented
of
;
so
likewise
(
for
the
meane
is
euer
best
)
that
it
leuell
not
at
so
high
and
absolute
indowment
and
perfection
,
that
euery
carnall
eye
shall
bethinke
thee
iniury
,
that
euery
Gotish
disposition
shall
leuell
to
throw
open
thy
inclosures
,
that
thy
wife
shall
bee
harder
to
be
kept
then
the
Garden
of
the
Hesperides
,
for
as
the
Italian
prouerbe
is
,
Whose
horse
is
white
,
and
wife
is
faire
,
His
head
is
neuer
voide
of
care
.
Next
after
thou
hast
thus
elected
thy
choyse
,
and
considered
her
in
her selfe
,
with
the
aforesaid
circumstances
,
&
this
one
more
(
not
being
of
his
minde
that
merrily
said
(
speaking
of
his
wife
)
since
he
was
to
make
choice
out
of
things
that
were
euill
,
he
thought
it
most
wisedome
to
choose
the
least
)
to
regard
that
shee
be
not
of
too
dwarfish
a
size
,
and
kindred
,
to
store
thee
with
a
generation
of
Pigmies
,
dwarfes
,
halfe
men
,
that
want
the
Maiesty
and
power
of
heigth
and
strength
,
and
the
comlinesse
a
good
stature
is
for
the
most
part
wedded
vnto
:
After
this
,
a
little
looke
backe
to
the
stocke
from
whence
she
sprung
,
for
as
Ezekiell
saith
,
Like
mother
,
like
daughter
;
and
experience
and
nature
approues
it
,
that
the
fruite
will
relish
of
the
Tree
from
whence
it
sprung
,
as
the
Rose
is
not
gathered
from
the
Hauthorne
,
and
as
his
Maiesty
well
obserued
,
if
men
be
so
carefull
to
haue
their
horses
and
dogs
of
a
good
bréed
,
and
race
,
which
are
onely
for
externall
,
and
superficiall
vses
and
pleasures
,
how
much
more
should
they
then
wiues
of
their
owne
bosomes
,
from
whom
they
expect
to
raise
and
continue
their
owne
generations

posterities
vpon

,
to
represent
and
preserue
aliue
their

What
yeares
are
most
conuenient
for
mariage
.
THe
forward
Virgins
of
our
age
are
of
opi
on
,
that
this
commodity
can
neuer
be
taken
vp
too
soone
,
and
therefore
howsoeuer
they
neglect
in
other
things
,
they
are
sure
to
catch
time
by
the
fore-locke
in
this
,
if
you
aske
them
this
question
,
they
will
resolue
you
fouretéene
is
the
best
time
of
their
age
,
if
thirteene
bee
not
better
then
that
,
and
they
haue
for
the
most
the
example
of
their
mothers
before
them
,
to
confirme
and
approue
their
ability
,
and
this
withall
they
holde
for
a
certaine
ground
,
that
be
they
neuer
so
little
they
are
sure
thereby
to
become
no
lesse
;
the
effects
that
,
for
the
most
part
,
insue
thereafter
,
are
dangerous
births
,
diminution
of
stature
,
breuity
of
life
,
and
such
like
,
yet
all
these
paines
will
they
aduenture
for
this
pleasure
:
Now
as
these
will
not
stay
till
their
youth
,
but
marry
in
their
childe-hood
,
before
either
bloud
,
or
affection
rypen
them
thereto
by
their
earely
forwardnesse
,
so
are
their
others
that
as
much
offend
in
the
contrary
,
by
passing
ouer
their
youth
for
certaine
cautionary
worldly
respects
,
to
salute
this
society
with
their
age
,
like
to
him
that
hath
suffered
his
house
to
burne
downe
to
the
bottome
,
before
hee
would
séeke
to
extinguish
the
flame
,
when
the
other
,
as
néedlesly
forward
,
as
he
foolishly
slow
,
throwes
on
water
ere
any
fire
come
néere
it
;
the
extremity
in
both
is
vtterly
distastfull
,
and
as
I
haue
already
shewed
briefly
the
indiscretion
in
either
,
so
I
might
thus
continue
it
further
along
in
the
first
:
that
such
should
take
vpon
them
to
gouerne
others
that
(
which
as
may
well
appeare
in
this
)
know
not
yet
how
to
gouerne
themselues
;
the
latter
,
that
they
vtterly
abandon
the
right
vse
of
marriage
,
for
if
the
chiefe
end
thereof
be
propagation
and
encrease
,
both
for
the
Kingdome
of
earth
and
heauen
,
why
then
do
they
deferre
so
long
till
their
bloud
be
frosty
,
and
their
bones
be
empty
,
their
lamps
bée
wasted
,
and
their
spirits
consumed
,
hiding
in
the
earth
their
talents
from
vse
,
which
might
haue
béene
otherwise
multiplyed
by
a
lawfull
vsury
,
to
a
happy
encrease
and
excellent
end
,
and
therefore
worthy
such
of
their
iust
reward
,
which
is
(
for
the
most
part
)
to
perish
in
themselues
as
the
last
of
their
name
and
posterity
vpon
earth
.
Diogenes
being
asked
what
time
of
a
mans
life
was
best
to
marry
,
answered
in
youth
it
was
too
soone
,
and
in
age
it
was
too
late
,
cynically
insinuating
thereby
that
it
was
best
neuer
:
Indéed
some
of
our
infortunate
coniunctions
,
might
haue
béene
happy
embracing
his
counsell
,
when
Planets
of
maleuolent
aspect
and
influence
are
vnfortunately
howsed
,
like
two
opposite
poysons
in
a
stomacke
,
one
euer
sicke
of
of
another
,
fearefully
portending
their
owne
destruction
and
ruine
;
yet
not
to
discomfort
any
that
are
to
enter
héerein
,
the
best
good
and
most
absolute
perfection
that
euer
was
in
the
world
,
and
most
generall
,
neuer
did
all
participate
in
the
fruition
thereof
,
although
the
greatest
number
did
;
God
gaue
sight
to
all
,
yet
all
pertake
not
the
benefite
thereof
,
health
to
all
,
yet
some
are
daily
incumbred
with
sicknesses
,
limbes
to
all
,
yet
some
wée
sée
are
decrepit
and
lame
,
although
the
most
inioy
them
,
these
infirmities
hauing
in
their
being
rather
deficient
then
efficient
causes
,
for
God
created
not
blindnesse
,
lamenesse
,
sickenesse
,
or
such
like
,
but
the
depriuation
of
their
better
opposites
,
is
the
cause
of
their
producement
and
effect
:
So
likewise
in
marriage
,
God
gaue
a
generall
blessing
to
the
first
institution
and
vse
thereof
,
Hée
blest
it
by
his
Word
,
hée
honoured
it
by
his
presence
,
hée
confirmed
it
by
his
miracles
,
where
hée
turned
water
into
wine
,
to
shew
that
those
that
celebrate
it
in
the
right
manner
,
to
the
lawfull
and
true
end
,
shall
haue
their
sorrow
turned
into
ioy
,
their
water
into
wine
;
but
the
contrary
,
their
ioy
into
sorrow
,
that
is
,
their
wine
into
water
.
One
saith
,
wiues

Mistresses

and

Nurses

so
that
a

may
haue

But

saith

,

Late
repentance
,
they
say
,
is
seldome
true
repentance
;
and
it
is
obseruable
,
that
in
these
late
marriages
is
seldome
found
that
true
comfort
and
happinesse
,
which
it

That
conueniency
and
fitnesse
in
choyse
,
is
more
to
be
regarded
,
then
either
beauty
,
riches
,
or
any
other
addition
,
of
minde
or
fortune
.
IN
this
one
,
and
absolute
greatest
action
of
a
mans
whole
life
,
men
,
for
the
most
part
,
are
either
so
carelesse
,
in
their
will
,
or
so
blinded
in
their
iudgement
,
or
so
carried
away
by
affection
,
that
they
regard
not
that
which
most
materially
concerneth
the
peace
,
the
welfare
,
and
felicity
of
their
whole
life
and
conseruation
therein
;
for
their
eye
,
for
the
most
part
,
either
ceizeth
vpon
beauty
,
and
those
are
such
that
choose
an
Apple
for
the
red
side
,
as
the
serpent
deceiued
Eue
,
which
afterwards
in
the
taste
sets
the
téeth
on
edge
:
or
the
heart
vpon
riches
,
and
they
are
rather
married
to
the
substance
then
the
owner
:
Some
againe
marry
for
gentility
,
not
respecting
their
owne
ignobility
,
and
basenesse
,
which
for
the
most
part
,
it
vpbraideth
them
with
all
their
life
long
;
and
though
all
of
these
are
ioyned
by
the
King
(
the
Embleme
of
Wedlocke
)
yet
few
vnderstand
the
Morall
thereof
,
which
is
a
representary
fitnesse
to
bée
respected
:
I
meane
not
equality
or
fitnesse
of
stature
,
for
the
more
equall
coniunction
and
action
,
but
a
fitnesse
in
affection
,
for
as
that
being
either
too
bigge
,
or
too
little
,
pincheth
the
finger
or
stayeth
not
on
,
so
where
this
equality
doth
not
sympathie
in
affection
there
is
either
a
falling
off
from
the
bond
of
this
duty
,
or
a
shrinking
vp
of
the
ioy
and
felicity
therein
:
The
chollericke
man
,
which
for
some
outward
respect
,
maketh
this
his
expected
heauen
a
hell
,
by
vnaptly
conioyning
vnto
himselfe
prouocation
and
impatience
,
euer
to
kindle
that
fire
a
fresh
which
of
it selfe
consumes
without
further
addition
,
the
very
peace
,
and
tranquility
,
life
,
and
spirit
,
of
soule
and
body
,
when

to

meekenesse
,
and
indurance
,
such
alenitiues
,
as
should
rather
haue

then
augmented
the
misery
;
for
what
concord

,
can
bee
expected
to
bée
inioyde
,
when
natures
,
more
repugnant
then
the
Elements
,
are
ioyned
in
one
:
frée
spirits
,
with
miser
dispositions
,
where
they
graple
and
tugge
without
ease
and
releasement
,
for
breath
and
liberty
:
Heroycall
thoughts
with
dull
affections
,
where
there
is
no
correspondence
to
there
height
or
eleuation
:
Knowledge
with
ignorance
,
where
there
is
no
zeale
to
communicate
;
and
age
with
youth
,
where
there
is
no
desire
of
inioyment
,
preuenting
the
good
by
some
blind
inducement
,
which
either
might
haue
claimed
by
their
likely-hood
,
in
more
sutable
fitnesse
,
bearing
the
yoke
with
repining
and
displeasure
,
as
pressing
too
heauily
,
which
otherwise
might
haue
béene
supported
with
ease
and
delight
,
as
scarce
tasted
or

,
Therefore
(
who
euer
thou
art
)
know
this
in
thy
choyce
,
that
wouldst
for
bondage
aduenture
thy
fréedome
;
that
euery
good
woman
,
makes
not
for
euery

a
good

,
no
otherwise
then
some
one
good
dish
digesteth
with
euery
stomacke
:
therefore
as
for
thy
Trade
thou
wilt
choose
a
fit
seruant
,
for
thy
stomacke
a
fit
diet
,
for
thy
body
fit
cloathing
,
so
for
thy
inseparable

daily
,
nightly
society
,
choose
a
fit
companion
,
according
to
the
Poets
rule
,
in

Elegat

.
Let
euery
wise

discret
man
,
Chose
him
a
fit
Companion
.
The
Thiefe
for
his
Burglaries
takes
his
fittest
oportunity
and
society
:
The
Husbandman
his
seasons
for
his
Séed
time
and
Haruest
:
The
Lawyer
the
aduantage
of
Assizes
and
Termes
,
The
Marchant
for
aduenture
the
Tide
and
the
Winds
,
and
all
these
the
fitnesse
befriendeth
the
endeuour
,
and
shall
the
husband
then
thinke
to
establish
his
purpose
,
his
peace
,
so
great
,
and
so
greatly
thereon
depending
,
without
this
vigilancy
and
obseruance
:
The
old
rule
will
teach
him
new
wit
,
in
this
aptnesse
,
which
saith
:
Hee
that
a

In

Art

a
remnant
of
the
age
of
some
mispended
youth
,
fallen
from
the
badge
of
one
basenesse
to

,
as
frowned
out
of
some
conuenient
Maisters
fauour
,
for

that

out

the

and
as

as

(
vnlesse

wilt
disranke

from

too
too
common
shame
and
abuse
in
this
kind
)
that
shée
bée
such

and

can
light

Art

a

a

,
a

,
choose
thée
a

of
some
Phlegmaticke
humour
,
that
like
a

Creditor
,
with
her
large
stocke
of

,
without

can
forbeare
thée

vpon

or

whilst
thou

for

do
against
thée
that

in

which
no

if
otherwise

though

thou

of

though

at

,
shalt
be
sure
to
haue
execution
against
thée
at

:
And
from
whence
else
procéedes
these
lamentable
●arres
of
housholds
,
worse
then
the
open
warres
of
Kingdomes
,
that
deuoure
and
eate
vp
whole
families
:
Whence
procéeds
these
separations
,
exclamations
,
disiunctions
;
whence
arise
they
,
but
exhaled
and
drawne
vp
with
the
heate
of
this
parabolicall
sunne
,
(
the
muck
and
mammon
of
the
world
)
the
beames
whereof
blinde
the
eye
sometimes
of
conscience
,
as
well
of
vnderstanding
and
iudgement
:
whose
conioyning
of
hands
may
resemble
the
league
betwéene
the
Low
Countries
&
Spaine
,
where
hearts
can
no
more
bée
brought
to
vnity
and
affection
one
another
,
then
those
euer
vowed
enemies
thus
taken
truce
:
These
respects
I
say
,
like
that
respect
of
state
,
and
no
other
,
haue
prostituted
,
vnder
one
couering
,
many
a
frosty
Ianuary
,
and
youthfull
May
,
many
a
greene
desire
and
gray
performance
,
which
could
no
more
cohabite
then
these
different
seasons
,
otherwise
aforehand
meant
,
and
afterwards
satisfied
,
though
with
a
shamefull
breaking
out
,
to
the
ruine
and
destruction
of
both
the
one
,
and
the
other
;
Meere
Croanes
,
and
many
of
my
late
remembrance
,
lip-bearded
,
as
wiches
,
with
their
warted
antiquity
and
age
,
haue
angled
into
their
beds
with
this
bayted
golden
hooke
,
(
for
luker
of
desire
and
lust
)
on
their
parties
,
youth
whose
chinnes
haue
neuer
yet
fallen
vnder
the
razor
,
lesse
that
way
by
their
heate
and
haire
,
expressing
man
then
their
wiues
,
(
wiues
)
nay
rather
Matrons
,
and
Mothers
,
to
their
children
prostituted
,
the
shame
and
vneuennesse
whereof
hath
euen
crackt
this
forementioned
wreath
in
the
ring
,
broke
Pryscians
head
in
the
vnequall
coniugations
,
the
destruction
whereof
hath
not
slowly
followed
,
but
thus
quickly
,
(
like
a
Gangrene
)
crept
on
by
a
carelesse
neglect
in
the
one
,
and
earnest
desire
in
the
other
,
and
a
timely
repentance
in
both
:
The
one
thus
(
to
his
precedent
aime
)
the
better
supported
to
his
wilde
pleasures
a
broad
,
whilst
the
other
,
with
her
frustrated
intention
and
hope
,
all
tame
and
penitentiary
,
left
destitute
to
bewaile
her
grieuance
at
home
.
But
go
further
,
admit
impossibilities
,
that
Age
and
Youth
,
Summer
,
and
Winter
could
bée
one
,
yet
how
would
the
Autumne
with
her
tempests
blast
the
Summer
,
and
her
tender
buddes
of
that
season
,
and
Summer
,
againe
,
contradicting
her
contrary
melting
,
her
snowes
and
frosts
into
nothing
,
what
panges
and
trauels
,
and
throbbes
,
and
throwes
,
would
they
sustaine
one
with
the
other
,
till
they
brought
an
end
and
confusion
to
both
:
euen
so
admit
,
that
youth
could
assume
such
a
habite
of
grauity
that
might
like
an
age
,
and
age
againe
so
shake
off
her
vnnessaries
,
that
shée
could
looke
amiable
in
the
fresh
and
greene
eye
of
youth
;
yet
must
this
mixture
of
vnequall
heales
bée
more
pernitious
to
either
,
then
those
blasting
contrary
seasons
one
to
another
:
From
these
vnequall
coniunctions
breake
forth
those
maisterfull
iealousies
,
those
insupportable
discontents
,
that
haue
not
set
but
euen
in
bloud
and
death
,
ruined
their
owners
,
afflicted
and
wrung
into
lamentations
,
their
Friends
,
Allies
,
and
Associates
,
and
drawne
bloud
from
the
heart
of
any
one
that
had
but
a
hand
or
finger
in
the
carriage
:
Many
instances
of
these
we
know
of
late
times
which
we
may
remember
,
whilst
I
ouerpasse
them
to
recite
one
of
more
antiquity
,
as
it
is
deliuered
by
Tradition
.
Dame
Annis
a
Clere.
And
therefore
who
euer
thou
art
,
entering
into
this
common
garden
of
humanity
,
respect
for
thy

blessing
and

more

Beauty

,
this
Harmony
and

,
wherein
is
no

no

no

,
and
which

land
thée

that

the
Lord
of

perpetually

to
enclose
his

Ambition

you
twyn-borne

you

and
the
dependancy
of
your
estate
(
you
true

that
haue
broken
downe
this

consequence
and

the
breath
of

,
made
the

of

of

then

Ambition

,

,
you
fore-mentioned
euils
,
you
foote-ball
players
which
short-héeled
creatures
it
is
you
that
are
arraigned
&
found
guilty
in
this
tryall
.
The
Countrey
Damsell
vnder
the
thacht
roofe
of
her
naturall
habitation
,
where
she
scarce
euer
thought
of
so
much
pride
as
handsomnesse
,
neuer
beheld
her
how
otherwise
presented
then
in
a
bowle
of
water
,
that
dreamed
more
deuoutlier
vnder
that
innocent
couering
being
asleepe
,
then
others
pray
in
their
lofty
Pallaces
being
awake
,
who
can
scarce
there
remember
marriage
but
shee
blushes
to
thinke
what
a
shame
it
is
to
lye
with
a
man
:
yet
afterwards
bring
her
to
the
Citty
,
enter
her
into
that
schoole
of
vanity
,
set
but
example
before
her
eyes
,
shée
shall
in
time
become
a
new
creature
,
and
such
a
strong
mutation
shall
so
strangely
possesse
her
,
that
shée
shall
haue
new
thoughts
,
new
purposes
,
and
resolutions
,
and
in
the
end
so
shoulder
out
her
modesty
,
that
shée
shall
not
blush
to
do
that
vnlawfully
,
which
before
shée
was
bashfull
to
thinke
on
lawfully
:
Come
to
the
Citty
,
there
you
shall
haue
some
good
amongst
many
bad
,
but
should
haue
many
more
were
it
not
for
this
sickenesse
of
this
ill
Example
,
therefore
well
were
it
with
the
world
,
If
what
were
most
done
,
were
most
good
:
Such
a
one
could
bée
content
(
for
any
desire
of
nouelty
or
change
,
or
for
any
heate
in
her
bloud
,
more
then
might
bee
lawfully
allayed
)
to
be
honest
,
but
that
shee
knowes
such
a
friend
,
and
such
a
Gentlewoman
her
Gossip
,
haue
their
variety
of
Gownes
,
of
giftes
,
of
fauours
,
and
variety
of
pleasures
to
,
interchanging
with
variety
of
persons
,
and
in
this
regard
shée
will
bee
no
longer
her
owne
foe
,
to
kéepe
her selfe
longer
without
such
a
friend
,
shée
sees
the
world
takes
notice
of
no
more
then
it
sees
,
and
they
are
accounted
most
chaste
,
that
can
best
seeme
so
:
In
this
resolution
shée
puls
vp
the
Flood-gates
,
where
her
tyde
of
vanity
is
swelled
to
the
brimme
,
which
immediately
ore-flowes
and
drownes
her
therein
,
extinguishing
all
former
sparkes
of
vertue
and
respect
,
which
before
this
conquest
shée
debated
with
,
and
beares
her
along
with
the
perishing
multitude
,
for
these
brittle
respects
,
that
héere
shée
is
insnared
with
.
The
Court
,
the
very
Element
and
Center
of
these
sinnes
,
the
ne
plus
vltra
,
for
any
example
beyond
that
,
being
the
patterne
to
it selfe
,
and
to
others
,
the
respects
that
ioyne
there
,
are
the
respects
of
pleasure
,
not
of
profite
;
the
hyghest
ambition
of
theirs
is
to
be
most
allured
,
most
desired
,
to
haue
most
seruants
,
most
friends
,
most
fauours
,
and
these
should
presage
most
falles
,
whose
open
out
sides
bosomes
,
were
their
insides
so
displayed
,
it
would
bée
found
a
poore
and
idle
sinne
had
not
there
béene
harboured
,
whose
sattin
out-sides
,
and
silken
insides
,
soft
rayment
and
swéete
feeding
,
so
stroake
the
skinne
,
and
perswade
the
bloud
that
it
will
not
bee
perswaded
.
There
is
a
Text
in
woman
,
that
I
would
faine
haue
woman
to
expound
,
or
man
either
;
to
what
end
is
the
laying
out
of
the
embrodred
haire
,
embared
breasts
,
virmilioned
chéekes
,
alluring
lookes
,
fashion
gates
,
and
Artfull
countenances
,
effeminate
,
intangling
,
and
insnaring
gestures
,
their
curles
and
purles
of
proclaiming
petulancies
,
boulstred
,
and
layed
out
with
such
example
and
authority
in
these
our
daies
,
as
with
allowance
and
beseeming
conueniency
,
such
apish
fashions
and
follies
,
that
the
more
seuerer
out-worne
ages
of
the
world
,
deceased
and
gone
,
should
they
haue
but
lifted
vp
their
head
and
in
their
times
would
haue
hyssed
out
of
countenance
to
death
:
But
as
to
please
,
woman
hath
much
starched
vp
man
from
his
slouenry
,
so
to
delight
man
(
or
rather
his
enemy
)
hath
the
woman
thus
increased
in
prides
,
doth
the
world
waxe
barren
through
decrease
of
generations
,
and
become
like
the
earth
,
lesse
fruitfull
then
heeretofore
:
Doth
the
bloud
loose
his
heate
,
or
the
Sunne-beames
become
more
watrish
and
lesse
feruent
then
formerly
they
haue
béene
,
that
men
should
be
thus
inflamed
and
perswaded
on
to
lust
:
or
hath
this
age
of
sinne
vsurped
such
a
séeming
purity
,
or
thought
,
that
the
most
licensed
lust
,
hath
the
originall
from
concupisence
or
some
taint
of

and
therefore
must
bée
thus
dragged
vp
to
this
anchor

like
a
Pitcher
by
the
eares
,
by
these
bloud
neare-touching
witcheries
,
and
inducements
,
no
,
rather
the
contrary
witnesse
the
superfluity
and
increase
of
these
our
times
,
of
this
our
Kingdome
,
that
hath
more
people
then
pasture
,
more
bringing
forth
then
breeding
,
for
that
it
is
compelled
to
empty
it selfe
into
farre
distant
Regions
and
Kingdomes
:
Is
it
not
rather
the
contrary
,
when
the
youth
of
both
sexes
are
daily
cropt
in
the
blossome
by
this
forward
motion
,
or
rather
head-strong
deuill
,
and
vnripely
prest
to
that
action
,
forestalling
maturity
and
fitnesse
,
where
a
Vestall
should
bée
more
pointed
at
in
a
Cloyster
,
then
a
Comet
in
the
Aire
:
Is
it
not
rather
the
contrary
,
when
lust
is
growne
so
vnbounded
,
so
head-strong
,
that
it
will
not
bee
hemm'd
nor
incircled
within
any
Lawes
,
or
limites
,
of
God
,
or
man
;
when
it
will
garbadge
without
all
respect
,
or
controule
,
vpon
Adultery
,
fornication
,
possest
,
the
vnpossest
,
the
bond
,
the
free
;
where
care
shall
more
possesse
a
man
to
keepe
his
faire
wife
from
foule
play
,
when
hee
hath
her
,
then
iealousy
did
to
loose
her
,
when
hee
first
riual'd
for
her
;
where
vertue
shall
not
so
disguise
it selfe
in
any
habite
,
but
vice
will
trace
it
out
and
betray
it
.
The
ignorant
Papists
,
or
other
sectaries
of
Heresies
,
most
commonly
giue
no
other
reason
for
their
seduced
errors
,
then
example
of
multitude
,
of
parents
,
progenitors
,
or
friends
that
went
before
them
;
so
the
example
of
this
euill
,
so
common
,
so
much
made
of
,
so
cockred
,
so
thriuing
,
so
bedecked
,
so
admired
,
so
dandled
on
the
lap
of
Greatnesse
,
of
Authority
,
drawes
millions
to
perdition
after
it
,
for
the
greatest
part
neuer
looke
further
then
the
example
of
the
greatest
number
;
the
Coach
easily
runnes
that
is
drawne
with
many
horses
,
soone
followes
one
where
thousands
leade
the
way
:
These
haue
disioyned
in
chambers
by
the
deuill
,
that
were
conioyned
in
the
Church
by
God
,
and
yet
it
must
be
ingenuously
confest
,
it
is
but
a
cold
comfort
,
to
goe
to
hote
hell
for
company
:
Lust
,
that
boyling
damned
putrefaction
of
the
bloud
,
that
raging
,
ruling
,
headstrong
sinne
of
this
age
,
that
is
too
apt
to
breake
out
,
though
it
went
cloathed
in
Sacke-cloth
,
and
Hairecloath
,
and
fed
onely
(
as
saith
an
Authour
)
with
the
Capuchin
dyet
of
grasse
and
hearbes
,
and
such
like
,
and
supprest
with
all
the
subiection
can
be
imposed
to
subdue
it
,
that
yet
like
lime
it
would
flash
and
flie
out
through
out
all
these
impositions
:
but
on
the
contrary
,
we
are
so
far
from
subduing
that
passion
,
and
keeping
it
vnder
,
by
any
such
meanes
,
that
it
is
attired
and
set
out
in
the
most
Artfull
bewitching
,
and
inticing
temptation
that
may
be
deuised
,
whole
daies
and
nights
,
and
thoughts
and
studies
,
and
costs
and
cares
,
cast
away
thereon
,
for
the
better
successe
therein
,
though
the
worse
ill
thereby
,
for
the
end
thereof
is
but
repentance
and
sorrow
.
Another
maine
enemy
,
to
open
this
breach
,
is
impatience
of
restraint
and
limitation
,
for
that
which
is
most
forbidden
is
most
desired
;
Hee
is
the
old
deuill
that
still
tempts
in
that
likenesse
that
came
to
Eue
in
Paradise
,
and
perswaded
her
to
eate
the
forbidden
fruite
of
the
Tree
of
knowledge
of
good
and
euill
,
vpon
whom
he
obtained
such
a
victory
and
conquest
,
in
that
first
battell
that
euer
was
fought
,
that
neuer
since
hath
he
distrusted
the
force
of
that
stratageme
:
Euery
woman
is
an
abridgement
of
all
woman-kind
,
containes
the
shape
,
the
proportion
,
the
lyniaments
,
the
members
,
the
vse
of
all
the
women
in
the
world
,
and
likewise
so
of
man
;
why
should
not
desire
then
,
being
so
linked
in
the
most
sufficient
,
and
wisest
allowance
,
that
God
and
man
thought
meete
,
couch
and
submit
it selfe
to
these
ordinances
,
but
that
concupiscence
and
lust
,
inkindle
desire
,
and
it
findeth
not
delight
in
that
it
hath
,
but
in
that
it
would
haue
,
according
as
the
Poet
verifyeth
.
Lust
nere
takes
delight
in
what
is
due
,
But
still
leaues
knowne
delights
to
seeke
out
new
.
It
lookes
out
of
the
window
,
where
fuell
is
administred
where
temptation
entreth
in
:
edgeth
it selfe
vpon
one
for
respects
that
it
can
conceiue
but
not
vtter
;
vpon
an
other
,
for
some
thing
it
likes
,
but
knowes
not
what
;
It
makes
choyce
of
a
third
,
for
modesty
baites
his
lust
in
that
flame
,
to
thinke
with
what
lookes
it
could
looke
in
conclusion
,
that
is
so
fiered
with
blushes
in
but
proffered
,
concerning
circumstances
,
though
farre
distant
and
remote
from
either
time
or
action
:
Vpon
a
fourth
,
for
her
quaint
conceite
,
and
discouers
by
debating
how
she
could
vse
it
,
being
put
to
her
non
plus
,
in
the
bare
point
of
tryall
,
with
the
beauty
of
a
fift
,
to
conceiue
what
a
large
fruition
it
were
to
be
inflamed
on
the
promontory
of
the
Hill
,
when
the
demeanes
,
and
adiacent
Vallies
,
to
that
fuller
surfet
,
restrained
not
their
shades
nor
fountaines
:
And
indeed
,
to
conclude
,
there
is
none
so
ugly
,
none
so
deformed
,
but
Lust
will
finde
argument
to
make
vse
of
it
,
may
it
but
haue
meanes
to
enioy
it

Aduice
for
choice
,
and
whether
it
be
best
to
marry
a
Widdow
,
or
a
Maide
.
HEe
that
marryeth
a
Widdow
,
hath
but
a
reuersion
in
taile
,
and
if
she
proue
good
,
may
thanke
death
for
his
aime
,
if
euill
,
vpbraide
him
,
and
not
vniustly
for
his
occasion
:
He
that
takes
her
thus
halfe-worne
,
makes
account
shee
hath
that
will
pay
for
new
dressing
,
shee
seemes
to
promise
security
in
her
peace
,
yet
inuites
many
times
to
a
troublesome
estate
,
when
the
conquest
atchieued
scarce
counteruailes
the
warres
,
the
principall
of
her
loue
is
perished
with
the
vse
,
for
what
is
once
firmely
set
on
,
can
neuer
be
cleanly
taken
off
,
and
he
must
nere
looke
to
bee
enriched
that
way
that
hath
her
.
The
end
of
her
Marriage
is
lust
and
ease
,
more
then
affection
or
loue
,
and
deserue
what
thou
canst
,
the
dead
shall
vpbraide
thee
by
the
helpe
of
her
tongue
,
flattered
behind
his
backe
,
the
more
to
vexe
thee
to
thy
face
:
The
best
is
,
though
the
worse
for
thee
,
they
are
nauigable
without
difficulty
,
more
passable
then
Virginia
,
and
lye
at
an
easier
Rode
,
as
vnsatiate
as
the
sea
,
or
rather
the
graue
,
which
many
times
the
sooner
presents
them
thether
:
At
the
decease
of
their
first
husbands
,
they
learne
commonly
the
trickes
to
turne
ouer
the
second
or
third
,
and
they
are
in
league
with
death
,
and
coadiutors
with
him
,
for
they
can
harden
their
owne
hearts
like
iron
to
breake
others
that
are
but
earth
;
and
I
like
them
the
worse
that
they
will
marry
,
dislike
them
vtterly
they
marry
so
soone
,
for
shee
that
so
soone
forgets
the
flower
and
Bride-groome
of
her
youth
,
her
first
loue
and
prime
of
affection
(
which
like
a
colour
layed
on
in
Oyle
,
or
dyed
in
graine
,
should
cleaue
fast
and
weare
long
)
will
hardly
thinke
of
a
second
in
the
neglect
and
decay
of
her
age
.
Many
presidents
wee
haue
against
these
suddaine
,
nay
against
these
second
Marriages
deriued
from
former
times
,
the
ages
of
more
constancy
,
and
shame
of
these
latter
.
The
daughter
of
M.
Cato
,
bewayling
a
long
time
the
death
of
her
husband
,
being
asked
which
day
should
haue
her
last
teare
,
answered
the
day
of
her
death
(
not
the
end
of
a
month
or
yeare
)
for
(
saith
shée
)
should
I
méete
with
a
good
husband
,
as
I
had
before
,
I
should
euer
bée
in
feare
to
loose
him
,
if
with
a
bad
one
,
I
were
better
be
without
him
.
In
like
manner
,
Portia
,
a
yong
and
honourable
Lady
,
hauing
lost
her
husband
,
answered
,
solicited
by
another
,
A
happy
and
chaste
Matrone
neuer
marries
but
once
.
Valeria
,
hauing
lost
her
husband
,
importuned
by
another
,
answered
;
My
husband
euer
liues
in
my
thoughts
.
Arthemesia
,
the
wife
of
Mausoll
King
of
Corinth
,
could
not
not
bée
brought
to
any
such
action
,
but
still
answered
,
being
mindefull
of
her
husband
deceased
,
Vpon
thy
pillow
shall
neuer
second
rest
his
head
;
Shée
dyed
a
widdow
,
and
in
memory
of
her
husband
,
erected
that
Monument
,
or
Tombe
,
the
cost
and
fame
whereof
hath
ouerspread
the
world
:
which
Wife
and
Monument
,
Lucinius
thus
further
commendeth
.
Rex

,
&c.
There
was
a
King
,
of
whom
it
may
be
read
In
ancient
Stories
,
sepulchred
ere
dead

More
wrong
you
'le
say
they
did
him
,
to
depriue
Him
of
his
Kingdome
thus
he
being
aliue
.
Such
a
Widdow
couldst
thou
marry
shée
were
worthy
thy
choyce
,
but
such
a
one
shee
could
not
bee
,
because
shee
would
not
then
marry
.
Compare
the
loyalty
of
our
times
with
those
of
more
ancient
,
and
sée
how
they
equall
thy
conscience
and
carkase
breaking
,
how
with
thy
piled
vp
chestes
,
they
build
monuments
of
remembrances
to
thy
name
and
memory
after
death
;
nay
rather
obserue
,
but
how
their
ambition
,
thus
heated
makes
them
forgetfull
of
themselues
as
well
as
thee
:
Knowing
this
,
who
would
not
,
with
these
distraughted
times
,
to
leaue
the
purchase
of
a
Ladiship
to
his
wife
,
glide
like
a
shadow
in
his
life
vpon
earth
,
with
a
shrinking
inside
,
and
penurious
out-side
,
and
sléepe
with
broken
thoughts
and
distracted
dreames
to
gather
with
paine
,
and
forbeare
with
want
,
that
which
his
liuing
enemy
may
afterwards
spend
with
pleasure
and
surfet
with
fulnesse
.
Who
can
loue
those
liuing
that
he
knowes
will
so
soone
forget
him
being
dead
,
that
are
but
Summer
Swallowes
for
the
time
of
felicity
,
that
will
hang
about
ones
necke
as
if
they
had
neuer
armes
for
others
embracing
,
or
as
though
extreame
affection
without
controule
could
not
but
this
manifest
it selfe
and
breake
out
;
yet
decease
,
and
such
a
lethe
of
forgetfulnesse
shall
so
soone
oretake
thée
as
if
thou
hadst
neuer
beene
,
nay
so
little
a
quantity
of
time
shall
confine
it
,
that
shee
shall
not
lie
in
her
month
but
shée
shall
bée
Churched
againe
,
and
open
to
another
all
thy
fruitions
,
with
as
fresh
and
plenteous
an
appetite
as
the
harlot
to
her
next
sinner
.
Yonger
brothers
,
and
poore
Knights
,
may
sometimes
to
these
monsters
make
vse
of
their
byrths
and
Titles
,
making
them
pay
déere
(
as
it
cost
)
for
their
dubbing
,
and
release
of
Purgatory
they
are
in
with
old
ranke
and
fashion
to
their
new
Eliseum
,
and
instaulement
;
and
it
must
be
confest
,
vnwise
they
were
,
but
with
good
boote
and
addition
,
to
refuse
a
Virginity
to
accept
a
Widdow-hood
,
and
yet
many
times
with
a
Turkish
fate
,
wée
pay
déere
for
our
Credo
quod
habemus
,
that
article
of
Beliefe
we
too
fondly
build
vpon
,
when
wée
pay
for
the
iewell
that
another
hath
stollen
,
and
in
hope
of
treasure
imbrace
the
ransackt
casket
,
yet
they
are
too
blame
that
haue
thus
béene
to
blame
,
and
for
their
easy
punishment
their
first
night
shall
discouer
them
.
Bee
not
suddaine
therefore
vpon
thy
resolution
in
this
point
,
because
deceite
,
many
times
,
lurkes
in
a
modest
face
,
but
let

,
the
more
secure
thee
.
The

the

againe
returnes
it
with
interest

so

Since

whether
it
be
lawfull
for

Couples

Children
,
or
whether
it
be
lawfull
,
for
an
old
man
to
marry
a
yong
Maide
,
or
the
contrary
.
THe
chiefe
end
of
Marriage
is
proles
,
Issue
,
yet
there
are
other
respects
in
that
couenant
,
that
no
doubt
may
tollerate
the
most
ancient
in
this
kinde
:
God
saw
that
it
was
not
good
for
Adam
to
be
alone
therefore
hée
made
him
an
helper
,
and
Saint
Paul
saith
,
Rather
marry
then
burne
,
and
as
it
is
in
another
place
;
Vae
solus
:
Woe
to
him
that
is
alone
,
for
if
hee
fall
hee
hath
not
one
to
helpe
him
vp
:
Now
those
in
age
,
to
come
neerest
to
a
common
and
sub-correctiue
vnderstanding
,
are
most
defectiue
in
their
members
,
and
therefore
most
subiect
to
fall
,
and
so
by
consequence
most
need
of
this
helpe
to
raise
them
vp
,
of
this
staffe
for
their
stay
,
and
besides
for
ought
that
euer
I
could
heare
,
or
obserue
,
that
age
is
most
proue
to
scortch
it selfe
in
the
flames
of
that
fire
,
and
therefore
may
lawfully
pertake
the
remedy
against
it
,
and
for
the
latter
proposition
,
for
ought
I
sée
,
the
Law
forbids
not
the
act
,
But
the
circumstances
may
breed
some
danger
,
for
if
the
wife
be
yong
enough
,
though
the
husband
be
nere
so
decrepit
,
shee
shall
not
bee
out
of
all
likely-hood
to
sée
encrease
of
her
body
,
but
hee
that
thus
vndertakes
to
mannage
in
his
age
,
what
hath
shaked
the
heart
of
youth
,
may
be
commended
for
his
valour
,
but
shall
nere
be
crowned
for
his
wisedome
;
And
for
such
a
one
(
I
trust
)
hee
shall
not
need
to
bee
iealous
,
for
that
his
doubt
shall
bee
apparantly
enough
resolued
.
One
asked
Diogenes
,
vpon
a
time
,
for
some
direction
how
to
choose
a
wife
,
because
hee
was
a
Phylosopher
,
saith
he
vnto
him
,
fellow
,
choose
one
without
a
head
(
if
thou
canst
)
without
a
body
,
and
without
lims
,
so
her
hands
shall
not
offend
in
striking
,
nor
her
tongue
in
rayling
,
nor
her
body
in
lusting
:
Another
time
seeing
a
man
in
his
olde
age
going
to
Church
,
to
make
vp
his
second
Marriage
,
said
;
O
foole
,
hast
thou
so
lately
beene
shipwracked
,
and
wilt
needs
to
sea
againe
.
The
Law
of
God
,
nor
man
,
doth
not
forbid
such
Marriages
,
but
no
pollicy
in
earth
commends
them
;
man
&
wife
should
be
two
in
one
:
but
can
heate
&
cold
,
youth
&
age
,
be
in
one
and
not
bee
repugnant
,
hee
that
aduentures
so
for
sweete
meates
,
shall
finde
them
relished
with
much
bitter
sauce
,
they
say
the
Oake
would
longer
last
,
were
it
not
for
the
intwyning
and
embracing
Iuy
,
but
in
this
case
I
entend
the
contrary
,
for
the
aged
Oake
here
blasteth
the
yonger
,
Iuy
with
the
heate
of
youth
,
must
againe
renue
,
according
to
our
Poet.
No
sharper
corsiue
to
our
blooming
yeares
,
Then
the
cold
badge
of
Winter
blasted
heyres
.
Many
worldly
respects
may
conioyne
these
Marriages
,
but
this
sudor
will
cracke
in
the
wearing
,
and
he
that
so
old
seekes
for
a
nurse
so
yong
,
shall
haue
pappe
with
a
Hatchet
for
his
comfort

but
this
both
of

and
soule
,
and
fame

subiect
to
more
opposite
immediate
passions
and
contradictions
in
it selfe
then
any
sence
or
humour
in
the
nature
of
man
:
as
now
well
entreated

it

anon

curst

the
whole
fountaine
that
gaue

,
for
one
sweete
fruite
will
blast
the
whole
Tree
that
bare
it
;
whereas
the
effect
and
force
of
loue
is
contrary
,
opressing
folly
,
suppressing
fury
;
aiming
to
preserue
,
not
to
destroy
,
and
to
that
end
,
regards
the
end
,
by
subduing
passions
and
motiues
that
would
seeme
to
oppose
the
tranquility
thereof
,
and
in
conclusion
reioyceth
in
the
true
fruition
without
discontent
,
without
satiety
,
hauing
captiuated
and
subdued
,
though
with
some
difficulty
,
those
passions
that
sence
for
a
time
would
haue
beene
best
pleased
with
,
to
tryumph
at
last
in
more
full
fruition
to
that
purpose
that
one
thus
writeth
.
Loue
comforteth
like
sunne-shine
after
raine
,
But
lusts
effect
is
tempest
after
sunne
.
Loues
golden
spring
doth
euer
fresh
remaine
,
Lusts
winter
comes
ere
summer
halfe
be
done
.
In
Loue
there
is
no
enuy
,
no
iealousy
,
no
discontent
,
no
wearinesse
,
for
it
digesteth
and
maketh
sweete
the
hardest
labour
,
and
of
all
things
doth
the
neerest
resemble
the
Diuine
Nature
,
for
God
is
Loue
,
it
hath
in
it
vnity
without
diuision
,
for
true
loue
hath
not
many
obiects
,
it
is
a
fire
much
water
cannot
quench
:
Now
Lust
contradicteth
all
these
,
for
whereas
Loue
is
bounded
with
easy
lymites
,
Lust
is
more
spacious
,
hath
no
meane
,
no
bound
,
but
not
to
be
at
all
,
more
deepe
,
more
dangerous
then
the
Sea
,
&
lesse
restrayned
,
for
the
Sea
hath
bounds
,
but
it
hath
none
;
not
woman
but
all
woman-kind
is
the
range
thereof
,
and
all
that
whole
sect
not
able
to
quench
it
neither
:
Full
of
enuy
it
is
,
for
it
enuies
all
without
his
reach
,
and
enuies
it
owne
nature
that
it
cannot
be
satisfied
:
walking
for
the
most
part
in
similitude
of
an
old
Goate
,
in
the
shape
of
an
incontinent
man
.
In
Loue
there
is
no
lacke
,
in
Lust
there
is
the
greatest
penury
,
for
though
it
be
cloyed
with
too
much
,
it
pines
for
want
:
Ambitious
it
is
,
for
where
it
treades
it
puffes
vp
,
and
leaues
a
swelling
after
it
,
turnes
low
flattes
into
little
Mountaines
downe
,
which
precipitate
folly
tumbles
headlong
to
confusion
,
a
hasty
breeder
of
disinheritable
sinners
it
is

such
as
haue
more
pleasure
in
the
begetting
,
then
comfort
in
the
bringing
forth
,
best
contented
when
it
looseth
most
labour
.
To
conclude
,
though
Loue
and
Lust
in
a
halfe
brother-hood
,
dwell
both
vnder
one
roofe
,
yet
so
opposite
they
are
that
the

most

The

IS
not
the
Magitians

nor
the
Italians

,
nor
a

nor
to

adorne
her
with
new
fangels
,
(
as
the
well
appayed
folly
of
the
world
in
this
kinde
can
witnesse
)
but
for
him
that
would
not
be
basely
madde
with
the
multitude
,
would
not
bespeake
folly
to
Crowne
him
,
would
not

that
would
not
for
his
Shop

his
Wife

for
a
relatiue
signe
)
is
to
adorne
her
decently
,
not
dotingly
;
thriftily
,
not
laciuiously
;
to
loue
her
seriously
,
not
ceremoniously
;
to
walke
before
her
in
good
example
(
for
otherwise
how
canst
thou
require
that
of
thy
wife
that
thou
art
not
,
wilt
not
be
thy selfe
,
Vis
tu
vxorem
tuam
victricem
esse
&
tu
victus
iaces
:
Wouldst
thou
expect
thy
wife
a
conquerour
when
thou
thy selfe
liest
foyled
at
the
same
weapon
)
to
acquaint
her
with
,
and
place
about
her
good
and
chaste
society
,
to
busy
and
apply
her
mind
and
body
,
in
some
domesticke
,
conuenient
,
and
profitable
exercises
,
according
to
her
education
and
calling
,
for
example
to
the
frailty
of
that
whole
sexe
,
hath
a
powerfull
hand
,
as
it
shall
induce
either
to
good
or
euill
.
There
are
of
opinion
that
there
is
in
Marriage
an
ineuitable
desteny
,
not
to
be
auoyded
which
is
either
to
be
Acteon'd
,
or
not
to
bee
,
if
it
bee
not
,
as
is
the
opinion
of
some
damned
in
the
errour
of
Predestination
,
then
let
him
take
a
house
in
Fleete-streete
,
diuide
it
like
an
Inne
,
into
as
many
seuerall
lodgings
as
roomes
,
make
his
wife
Chamberlaine
to
them
all
,
attire
her
like
a
sacrifice
,
paint
her
out
like
a
Mayors
posts
,
or
May-poole
,
let
her
haue
fresh
youth
and
high
féeding
,
lustfull
company
to
incite
her
,
her
husband
absent
:
all
these
opportunities
present
,
yet
notwithstanding
this
desteny
shall
preserue
him
,
to
weare
his
brow
as
sleeke
,
as
hée
that
neare
fetched
againe
the
lost
ribbe
to
his
side
,
as
vnbunched
as
the
front
of
a
Batchelour
;
But
if
the
contrary
,
bee
shee
the
most
pure
in
seeming
,
a
very
sister
of
that
Sect
,
the
opinion
of
the
B●ownists
shall
so
neere
cleaue
to
her
skinne
,
that
shée
shall
besate
thy
forehead
in
thy
sleepe
,
kill
thee
dead
in
that
image
of
thy
graue
;
Bee
shee
Papist
,
absolution
shall
so
resolue
her
,
that
shee
shall
sinne
vpon
presumption
,
nay
though
thou
hadst
Argus
eyes
thou
shalt
not
escape
it
,
for
No
pollicy
,
they
say
,
can
that
preuent
,
Whereto
two
parties
giue
their
full
consent
.
Bee
shee
what
shee
will
in
this
case
,
it
shall
bee
all
one
for
thee
to
restraine
or
to
giue
liberty
,
where
thou
dwellest
or
what
thou
doest
,
for
thy
desteny
is
so
allotted
and
it
shall
be
accomplished
:
The
rash
opinion
,
and
carelesse
security
of
either
is
worthy
the
reward
,
which
for
the
most
part
,
it
doth
deseruedly
receiue
.
It
was
an
errour
in
Religion
that
one
Ludouicus
had
,
who
had
giuen
himselfe
ouer
to
this
damnable
opinion
and
security
of
the
deuill
,
that
if
he
were
ordained
to
bee
saued
,
saued
hee
should
bee
without
any
enquiry
or
dilligence
of
his
;
if
otherwise
,
though
hee
toyled
to
death
in
his
best
endeuour
,
it
would
not
helpe
nor
reserue
him
;
In
this
conceite
,
setling
himselfe
in
the
most
Epicurian
and
disolute
course
of
liuing
that
might
bee
,
hee
continued
,
till
vpon
a
time
hee
fell
into
a
most
grieuous
extremity
of
sickenesse
,
when
sending
for
a
Physitian
,
who
before
hand
acquainted
with
his
damnable
errour
,
came
not
,
but
sent
him
word
that
hee
needed
not
his
helpe
,
for
if
his
houre
were
come
he
could
not
preserue
him
,
if
otherwise
,
hee
should
recouer
though
neuer
any
thing
were
administred
vnto
him
;
by
which
easy
application
hee
vnderstood
himselfe
,
and
that
he
must
vse
the
best
meanes
and
endeuour
,
as
well
for
the
safety
of
his
soule
,
as
the
preseruation
of
his
body
,
not
knowing
the
euent
of
their
concealed
ends
,
and
so
at
once
(
by
that
meanes
)
was
happily
cured
both
in
minde
and
body
.
In
no
lesse
palpable
errour
are
those
,
that
so
wittingly
and
violently
,
are
carried
on
either
side
in
this
dangerous
streame
of
a
corrupted
iudgement
to
the
apparantest
spectacle
and
certaintest
shame
that
woman
may
do
them
,
making
that
vnquestionable
their
dishonour
by
this
consequence
,
which
a
sober
course
might
haue
directed
to
a
more
certaine
end
,
Therefore
who
euer
thou
art
that
wouldst
not
winke
at
such
a
shame
,
that
so
profite
doth
succéed
,
wouldst
not
regard
whether

in

vse
a
good

,
such
foresight
and
warinesse
as
may
prouide
for

,
preuent
indigence
and
want
two
great
allayers
of
affection
,
and
a
maine
inciter
of
impatient
bearers
to
this
folly
and
abuse
,
and
aboue
all
séek
to
plant
in
her
Religion
,
for
so
shee
cannot
loue
God
but
withall
shee
must
honour
thee
,
increase
her
knowledge
in
good
things
,
and
giue
her
certaine
assurance
and
testimony
of
thy
loue
,
that
she
may
with
hers
againe

equall
thy

For

no

much

of
the
night
,
Which
women
and
weake
minds
do
much
affright
:
All
which
,
faire
loue
,
if
you
'le
be
rul'd
by
mee
,
Wee
will
conuert
so
farre
from
what
they
bee
That
those
which
now
are
bitter
for
to
thinke
,
Shall
taste
like
Nectar
that
the
Gods
do
drinke
.
The
strangest
Monster
that
was
euer
bred
,
That
Seas
haue
nourisht
or
else
Desart
fed
,
Transported
from
his
solitary
den
,
A
common
obiect
to
the
sight
of
men
,
Looseth
his
admiration
and
delight
,
In
little
time
,
and
pleaseth
not
our
sight
:
Our
Appetite
,
the
Viand
nere
so
good
,
Cloyd
with
one
Dish
will
soone
distast
her
Food
;
That
Musick
of
all
other
best
wee
deeme
,
If
euer
in
one
Key
we
harsh
esteeme
:
Mans
nature
doth
desire
to
heare
and
try
Thinges
that
are
new
,
to
tast
variety
;
And
I
of
Woemen
this
opinion
hold
,
They
are
not
much
in
loue
with
things
are
old
,
Which
makes
mee
thus
more
boldly
to
discouer
My selfe
vnto
you
,
your
new
friend
and
louer
:
In
hope
to
be
accepted
,
for
whose
pleasure
,
I
'le
spend
my
best
life
,
and
my
deerest
treasure
.
Obiect
not
you
already
are
inioy'd
,
With
Venus
pleasures
dul'd
and
ouercloid
.
Why
ioyfull
Widdowes
when
their
husbands
die
Might
this
obiect
,
but
yet
you
see
they
try
;
Because
they
thinke
variety
of
men
,
May
make
old
pleasures
new
delights
agen
.
Shee
that
contents
her selfe
with
any
one
,
For
many
nights
as
well
might
lie
alone
.
Lesse
difference
is
not
twixt
the
virgine
life
,
And
state
of
pleasure
,
being
cald
to
wife
Then
is
betweene
the
Elizeum
of
one
Bed
,
That
crosly
fated
,
to
that
's
largely-sped
.
I
haue
a
wife
my selfe
,
I
tell
you
true
,
Yet
in
the
old
kind
seeke
for
pleasures
new
:
Taking
not
now
delight
that
I
haue
tooke
,
To
shake
the
Tree
that
I
so
oft
haue
shooke
.
Wee
see
in
any
Country
that
we
dwell
,
The
Aire
the
Earth
,
nay
All
that
others
tell
:
Yet
notwithstanding
't
is
our
commonst
fashions
,
To
seeke
out
other
Kingdomes
other
Nations
.
Each
woman
doth
abridge
all
woman-kinde
,
But
yet
one
woman
fits
not
each
mans
minde
:
Nor
euery
man
,
experience
too
too
common
,
Can
fit
,
can
please
,
or
satisfie
each
woman
.
Since
then
the
Sence
,
the
Appetite
and
minde
,
In
fresh
variety
all
pleasure
finde
;
Let
vs
then
meete
all
nice
respects
to
smother
,
And
fully
satisfie
and
ioy
each
other
:
So
shall
I
rest
by
your
obligement
due
,
A
secret
friend
and
faithfull
seruant
true
.
The
world
can
iudge
no
further
then
it
spies
,
And
where
we
act
shall
be
from
sight
of
eyes
,
Windowes
nor
wals
,
can
neither
heare
nor
see
,
And
for
the
bed
't
is
tride
for
secresy
:
Then
seeme
but
chaste
,
which
is
the
chiefest
part
,
For
what
wee
seeme
each
sees
,
none
knowes
the
heart
.
And
so
your
husband
,
and
the
world
will
deeme
,
You
to
be
that
you
are
not
,
but
do
seeme
.
Your
husband
hee
's
abroad
,
where
I
'me
affray'd
He
hath
deserued
to
be
so
appay'd
.
My
Chaine
heere
take
you
,
weare
it
for
my
sake
,
And
as
you
finde
me
yours
account
so
make
.
And
here
's
my
Ring
in
earnest
of
a
friend
,
The
latest
Token
that
my
Wife
did
send
.
And
here
's
my
Purse
,
within
it
store
of
Gold
,
Able
to
batter
downe
the
strongest
Hold
:
Your
dainty
lymbes
shall
be
more
neatly
clad
,
In
costlier
Rayment
then
they
erst
haue
had
:
And
for
your
stomacke
it
shall
not
disgest
Any
thing
,
but
the
rarest
,
and
the
best
.
These
daily
from
me
with
a
pleasing
cheare
,
Which
husbands
grutch
to
part
with
once
a
yeare
.
Though
for
their
maintenance
I
sell
my
land
,
Disherite
heyres
for
that
I
will
not
stand
:
So
you
be
mine
in
that
sence
I
conceiue
you
,
Which
till
your
answere
manifest
,
I
leaue
you
.
HER
REPLY
.
ABused
sir
,
much
grieu'd
am
I
to
see
,
That
you
so
long
haue
tarried
Time
and
Mee
,
And
now
when
both
your
good
seeme
to
conspire
,
They
should
in
no
sort
answere
your
desire
:
My
husbands
absence
seemeth
to
import
In
your
conceite
some
hope
to
scale
his
fort
;
But
know
by
that
you
small
aduantage
finde
,
For
he
is
alwaies
present
in
my
minde
:
The
thought
of
whom
,
what
ere
his
person
bee
,
Is
able
to
repulse
your
battery
.
And
for
the
howres
that
you
so
tedious
deeme
,
That
by
your
presence
would
so
shortned
seeme
:
I
cannot
tell
with
others
what
't
might
do
,
With
me
't
would
rather
make
one
houre
seeme
two
:
And
for
the
fearefull
terrours
of
the
night
,
What
could
affright
me
worse
then
would
your
sight
.
My
Maid
and
I
,
a
pleasure
not
repented
,
Will
tell
old
Stories
long
ago
euented
To
passe
the
time
,
or
when
such
watch
we
keepe
,
Wee
'le
thinke
good
thoughts
,
or
pray
vntill
we
sleepe
:
For
know
my
vntainted
minde
did
euer
hate
,
To
buy
damnation
at
so
deere
a
rate
:
To
tast
sweete
Nectar
for
a
day
or
howre
,
And
euer
after
to
digest
the
sowre
.
'T
is
not
variety
I
seeke
or
craue
,
My
whole
delight
is
in
the
one
I
haue
:
And
she
that
's
not
contented
with
her
lot
,
I
hold
more
monster
then
the
Sea
hath
got
.
The
friendship
which
you
proffer
me
preserue
,
For
those
that
will
your
kindnesse
more
deserue
.
The
obiection
here
you
alledge
is
fondly
strange
,
That
woemen
,
though
old
cloathes
they
loue
to
change
And
fancies
to
in
something
,
doth't
inferre
That
in
this
grosse
point
they
must
therefore
erre
.
I
am
anothers
parcell
I
confesse
,
And
you
by
your
acknowledgement
no
lesse
,
Now
what
a
sinne
were
this
vnworthy
life
,
I
so
to
wrong
my
husband
,
you
your
wife
:
My
husband
that
dare
sweare
that
I
am
iust
,
Should
I
so
much
deceiue
his
honest
trust
?
Your
wife
,
although
a
party
I
not
know
,
I
hope
imagines
likewise
of
you
so
.
For
shame
go
then
repent
and
be
not
naught
,
Be
worth
her
good
opinion
,
honest
thought
.
Let
fleshly
widdowes
when
their
husbands
die
They
nere
did
loue
,
seeke
new
variety
:
For
me
I
vow
,
if
death
depriue
my
bed
,
I
neuer
after
will
to
Church
be
led
A
second
Bride
,
nor
neuer
that
thought
haue
,
To
adde
more
weight
vnto
my
husbands
graue
,
In
second
husband
let
mee
bee
accurst
,
None
weds
the
second
,
but
who
kils
the
first
.
You
haue
a
wife
you
write
,
giue
her
your
loue
,
And
that
will
all
your
wandring
thoughts
remoue
;
You
loue
her
not
,
by
these
effects
I
see
,
For
where
loue
is
there
's
no
satiety
.
Can
you
so
farre
forget
humanity
,
As
hauing
shak't
the
fruite
dispise
the
Tree
:
It
is
not
loue
but
lust
,
that
thus
abuses
,
To
make
it
weary
of
the
walkes
it
vses
.
One
woman
doth
abridge
all
womankind
,
The
volume
then
at
large
why
would
you
finde
:
For
sure
I
thinke
where
that
doth
beare
no
prize
The
Booke
at
large
might
weary
,
not
suffice
.
An
other
Argument
to
backe
your
sute
,
You
alledge
that
walles
and
windowes
will
be
mute
,
And
that
the
world
hath
no
such
peircing
eie
,
The
secret
of
the
darke
to
search
and
trie
:
As
if
there
were
not
one
,
whose
power
impartes
,
To
see
through
Dores
,
&
Windowes
,
&
through
Hearts
,
From
whose
bright
eye
,
no
secresy
can
hide
,
That
which
is
guilty
and
would
not
be
spide
,
Then
what
auailes
to
haue
the
world
aquite
vs
,
When
our
Conscience
like
a
fiend
shall
fright
vs
.
And
for
the
Bed
although
it
cannot
tell
,
Yet
out
their
shame
will
breake
that
do
not
well
.
My
husband
he
's
from
home
I
must
confesse
,
Whose
actes
you
measure
by
your
guiltinesse
,
But
where
so
ere
he
be
,
well
may
he
speed
,
Ere
any
such
thought
from
my
heart
proceed
:
Admit
hee
were
in
euill
so
compact
Would
I
reuenge
the
wrong
by
such
an
act
,
If
that
I
should
,
were
't
not
a
helpelesse
part
,
To
kill
my
soule
because
he
brake
my
heart
.
Your
Chaine
of
Gold
here
backe
againe
I
send
,
I
l'e
no
Earnest
sure
of
such
a
Friend
:
And
there
's
your
Ring
,
full
little
doth
she
know
That
sent
in
loue
,
that
you
would
vse
it
so
:
And
there
's
your
Purse
,
and
all
the
Gold
therein
,
The
're
Wicked
Angels
that
would
tempt
to
sin
.
My
Fort
is
more
impregnable
then
they
.
That
much
perswade
,
although
they
little
say
.
As
for
my
bodies
homely
cloathing
weed
,
It
keepes
me
warme
,
sufficeth
natures
need
,
Which
scarce
more
costlier
do
,
and
for
my
fare
,
My
dishes
wholesome
,
though
they
homely
are
.
Let
those
that
discontented
do
abide
,
Go
wrong
their
husbands
to
maintaine
their
pride
,
For
me
the
meanest
ragge
would
hide
my
skinne
,
Should
better
please
me
,
then
rich
roabes
of
sinne
,
Which
when
I
aske
,
my
reason
shall
be
such
,
No
husband
in
the
world
shall
need
to
grutch
.
Then
for
your
heyres
,
reserue
your
lands
vnto
them
,
They
shall
not
curse
my
bones
that
did
vndo
them
.
Call
backe
your selfe
and
thinke
I
am
your
friend
,
That
thus
would
stay
you
from
your
wilfull
end
:
Call
backe
your selfe
,
or
I
may
safety
tell
You
are
running
downe
the
steepest
hill
to
hell
;
As
when
cold
bloud
,
and
better
thoughts
shall
shew
,
You
'le
hold
then
your
friend
,
though
now
your
foe
:
And
more
reioyce
in
that
I
did
refell
,
Your
lawlesse
pleasure
,
then
consent
:
Fare-well
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
An
admonition
to
Husbands
and
Wiues
for
vnity
and
concord
.
IN
that
you
are
bound
,
you
must
obey
,
for
this
knot
can
neither
bee
cut
nor
vnloosed
,
but
by
death
,
therefore
as
wise
prisoners
inclosed
in
narrow
roomes
sute
their
mindes
to
their
limites
,
and
not
impatient
they
can
go
no
further
,
augment
their
paine
by
knocking
their
heads
against
the
walles
,
so
should
it
bee
the
wisedome
both
of
Husbands
and
Wiues
,
that
haue
vndergone
either
this
curse
,
or
blessing
,
as
the
successe
or
vse
may
make
it
vnto
them
,
to
beare
it
with
patience
and
content
the
asswager
of
all
maladies
,
and
misfortunes
,
and
not
to
storme
against
that
which
will
but
the
deeper
plunge
them
in
their
owne
misery
:
For
what
madnesse
were
it
for
any
one
to
crosse
himselfe
daily
,
because
another
hath
crossed
him
once
?
or
because
another
hath
vexed
him
,
therefore
to
vexe
himselfe
?
Who
is
so
weake
in
discretion
,
that
by
some
disaster
hauing
blemished
one
eye
,
for
griefe
thereof
,
will
weepe
out
the
other
.
That
mother
tries
a
mercilesse
conclusion
:
Who
hauing
two
sweet
Babes
,
when
death
takes
one
,
Will
slay
the
other
,
and
be
nurse
to
none
.
Therefore
séeing
it
is
so
,
whosoeuer
thou
art
in
this
disaster
,
séeke
to
plant
an
affection
and
loue
,
at
least
wise
a
patience
to
that
which
must
of
necessity
bee
endured
:
for
there
is
nothing
so
easie
that
the
want
of
this
may
not
make
hard
:
nor
nothing
so
harsh
that
this
may
not
better
temper
:
there
are
many
occasions
that
this
age
administreth
more
then
former
haue
done
of
the
vse
of
this
armor
,
(
though
all
other
rust
by
the
walles
of
peace
)
introduced
by
the
ouer-curious
respects
of
secondary
causes
by
secndary
persons
,
that
for
these
vses
perish
the
principall
,
by
ioyning
hands
where
hearts
are
more
dis-iunctiue
then
different
sectaries
:
and
what
is
the
issue
of
this
but
a
weary
patience
,
or
sudden
destruction
.
Others
conioyne
them selues
by
vntimely
folly
,
and
these
many
times
haue
a
timely
repentance
when
pleasures
ebbe
,
and
sorrowes
begin
to
flow
.
As
for
instance
,
a
youth
of
able
meanes
,
hopefull
expectation
,
equall
carriage
,
regardfully
befriended
,
carefully
watched
ouer
,
purposed
to
better
destiny
,
pricked
on
by
some
rebellious
bloud
,
and
guilty
oportunity
,
strikes
downe
all
these
hopes
in
the
heat
of
his
lust
,
with
a
greasy
Kitchin-weneh
in
a
corner
,
ceizeth
her
to
his
proper
vse
for
vnlucky
consequences
,
this
being
done
,
oppressed
in
minde
,
forsaken
of
his
friends
,
shall
hee
the
more
augment
his
misery
,
by
thought
of
this
his
peruerted
felicity
,
with
rage
,
and
euill
suffring
,
no
rather
let
him
loue
her
,
since
it
was
his
fortune
to
haue
her
,
and
his
fault
to
take
her
,
and
indeuour
so
to
worke
and
husband
that
crosse
beginning
,
to
a
more
happy
continuance
and
ending
,
taking
S.
Paules
counsell
to
his
practise
,
which
thus
aduiseth
,
Husbands
loue
your
wiues
,
and
be
not
bitter
vnto
them
:
Loue
them
for
your
owne
peace
,
for
your
owne
profite
,
dwell
with
them
according
to
your
wisedomes
as
with
the
weaker
vessels
,
for
there
is
no
offence
where
loue
is
,
for
loue
couereth
the
multitude
of
offences
,
of
dislikes
,
and
because
the
rather
that
God
instituted
it
,
who
Himselfe
is
Loue
;
setting
aside
contention
,
domesticke
ciuill
,
vnciuill
strife
,
the
forerunner
of
ruine
and
the
Purgatory
vpon
earth
;
remembring
whoeuer
they
be
that
fall
into
this
predicament
,
they
haue
before
God
and
man
by
ioyning
of
hands
,
taken
an
euerlasting
peace
one
of
another
,
more
inuiolably
to
be
kept
then
the
leagues
of
Nations
;
for
as
nothing
is
more
odious
in
the
sight
of
God
or
man
,
then
selfe
violence
against
a
mans
owne
person
,
and
there
was
neuer
any
inraged
that
way
but
wanted
either
reason
or
faith
in
the
deepest
discontent
;
so
then
by
this
consequence
hee
must
either
bee
mad
or
desperate
,
that
shall
to
that
end
lay
hands
on
his
wife
,
being
pact
of
himselfe
,
for
they
are
no
more
two
but
one
,
as
Adam
and
his
Rib
at
first
were
but
one
side
till
seuered
and
diuided
from
him
,
so
after
by
marriage
it
was
conioyned
againe
to
as
absolute
vnity
as
before
,
after
which
hee
pronounceth
and
thus
witnesseth
of
himselfe
:
She
is
flesh
of
my
flesh
,
and
bone
of
my
bone
,
he
the
head
,
and
she
as
part
of
the
members
,
which
so
being
,
to
be
diuided
and
at
oddes
,
were
as
the
hand
to
lift
vp
,
or
the
foot
to
kicke
against
the
head
,
the
King
and
Goueruernor
,
or
the
head
against
these
his
instruments
,
supporters
,
and
ministers
,
the
harmony
whereof
in
this
little
world
of
man
,
may
instruct
in
example
all
houshold
Common-wealths
in
the
world
,
to
vnity
.
Common-wealthes
I
say
:
for
euery
married
man
,
for
the
most
part
,
hath
thrée
Common-wealthes
vnder
him
:
hee
is
a
Husband
of
a
Wife
,
a
Father
of
Children
,
and
a
Maister
of
Seruants
,
and
therefore
had
néede
of
gouernment
in
himselfe
that
must
gouerne
all
these
,
and
to
that
purpose
cannot
take
vnto
himselfe
a
better
practise
or
president
,
then
from
this
vniformity
of
the
body
,
where
the
head
stands
aloft
like
a
King
in
his
Three
,
giuing
direction
and
command
to
all
his
Subiects
,
biddeth
the
foote
goe
,
and
it
goeth
,
the
hand
fight
and
it
fighteth
,
the
members
assist
and
they
assist
it
,
and
this
harmony
preserues
the
whole
man
,
which
otherwise
would
destroy
it
,
so
must
it
betweene
man
and
wife
that
Mysticall
head
and
member
or
both
perish
,
and
for
that
reason
,
shall
a
man
forsake
father
and
mother
(
the
neerest
that
else
could
bee
)
and
cleaue
to
his
wife
,
being
then
no
more
two
but
one
;
and
which
hee
taketh
from
her
parents
and
friends
not
to
offer
her
violence
,
but
to
tender
that
loue
with
increase
which
for
his
sake
in
these
shee
parteth
with
,
and
shee
likewise
to
him
,
which
besides
the
profite
,
hath
the
applause
both
of
God
and
man
,
according
to
the
allusion
of
the
Psalme
133.
Ecce
quam
bonum
&
iucundum
fratres
habitare
in
vnum
:
Therefore
auoide
Discord
thou
that
wouldst
see
the
fruite
of
thy
labours
,
for
vnity
gathereth
what
discord
dispearseth
;
auoide
Iealousy
that
vnresolued
vexation
,
that
labours
to
seeke
out
what
it
hopes
it
shall
not
finde
,
that
many
times
forrunnes
that
euill
which
it
causeth
to
follow
after
,
being
the
author
of
dissention
,
distast
,
misery
,
and
sometimes
of
murder
too
,
as
many
examples
testify
,
of
which
I
haue
here
inserted
one
of
most
ancient
truth
and
lamentable
action
,
of
a
King
that
had
a
sonne
by
whose
sword
it
was
prophecyed
his
owne
father
and
mother
should
perish
,
who
therefore
to
preuent
that
fatall
desteny
forsooke
his
inheritance
and
went
into
a
farre
distant
Country
to
inhabite
,
where
fortune
yet
fauouring
hee
increased
to
great
honour
and
riches
,
and
to
augment
his
greater
felicity
,
was
espoused
to
a
wise
right
noble
,
rich
,
and
exceeding
beautifull
,
of
whose
welfare
and
happy
successe
his
father
and
mother
afterwards
hearing
(
being
deposed
of
their
kingdome
,
and
in
extreame
misery
)
trauelled
to
visite
for
reliefe
and
succour
,
and
happening
to
his
house
in
his
absence
,
where
making
themselues
knowne
vnto
his
wife
to
bee
her
husbands
father
and
mother
,
she
kindly
entertained
them
,
&
when
hauing
well
replenished
their
bodies
by
food
and
sustenance
,
to
rest
them
the
easier
after
their
trauell
,
shee
laid
them
both
in
her
husbands
bed
;
after
which
hee
suddenly
entring
in
possessed
with
this
deadly
iealousy
,
and
missing
his
wife
goes
into
the
chamber
,
where
perceiuing
two
in
his
bed
a
sleepe
,
hee
so
inraged
with
passion
(
taking
it
to
bee
his
wife
and
some
adulterer
with
her
)
drew
forth
his
sword
and
slew
them
both
thereon
at
once
,
which
when
hee
perceiued
his
father
and
mother
,
hee
heauily
repented
with
sorrow
and
woe
,
and
shortly
after
dyed
with
griefe
and
pensiuenesse
.
And
besides
all
this
because
it
is
thought
(
for
the
most
part
)
to
call
a
mans
owne
guiltinesse
into
question
,
as
Petrarch
to
that
purpose
well
obserueth
,
who
thus
noteth
:
There
's
no
man
iealous
I
durst
passe
my
word
,
Nor
feares
the
scabberd
but
hath
strooke
with
t'sword
.
If
children
,
which
are
the
very
pledges
of
loue
,
make
you
parents
,
relish
their
tender
yeares
with
learning
and
piety
,
let
Gods
Law
bee
the
seasoning
of
their
first
thoughts
,
for
wee
know
by
experience
,
greene
vessels
long
relish
of
the
first
liquour
they
receiue
,
and
by
instruction
they
may
bee
as
soone
taught
to
say
Hosanna
to
CHRIST
,
as
Bald-pate
to
Elisha
;
assoone
a
good
word
as
a
bad
scoffe
:
Affect
not
one
more
then
another
,
loue
them
all
,
but
dote
vpon
none
,
with
the
folly
of
the
most
;
let
them
bee
children
not
wantons
,
walke
before
them
especially
,
their
more
riper
yeares
with
the
more
obseruant
example
,
which
will
bee
better
to
them
then
many
good
lessons
.
Repine
not
with
the
wicked
worldling
,
who
had
rather
see
his
counting
house
inuironed
with
vpbrayding
bagges
then
his
Table
with
this
blessed
garland
of
children
,
but
bee
thankefull
for
them
,
what
euer
thy
pouerty
,
for
as
they
are
Pignora
,
Pledges
,
so
are
they
Benedictiones
,
blessings
;
and
it
shall
bee
more
pleasing
to
thy
conscience
vpon
thy
death-bed
to
seale
them
as
treasure
for
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
,
to
yeeld
vp
thy
spirit
in
the
midst
of
their
inuironing
,
then
to
vnseale
so
many
bagges
of
euill
heaped
treasure
to
nere
after
performed
Legacies
,
euery
peece
wherein
shall
rend
thy
heart
in
peeces
at
that
houre
,
to
thinke
of
the
guilty
atchieuing
thereof
:
Besides
hee
that
hath
much
riches
,
is
subiect
to
many
cares
,
many
feares
,
dread
of
oppression
of
violence
;
but
hee
that
hath
many
children
hath
euen
a
peace
in
warre
,
a
security
euen
in
greatest
danger
,
for
hee
shall
speake
boldly
with
his
enemies
in
the
gate
,
they
are
as
so
many
swords
in
thy
defence
,
so
many
arrowes
in
thy
Quiuer
,
Arrowes
(
as
saith
one
)
because
they
may
bee
so
leuelled
by
good
education
and
example
,
to
shoote
at
thine
enemies
,
as
by
the
contrary
against
thy selfe
.
I
do
not
see
but
that
naturall
reason
and
meere
carnall
man
may
bee
grauelled
,
incumbred
and
disquieted
,
in
many
circumstances
of
carriage
in
this
businesse
,
but
those
must
bee
debated
and
forethought
before
the
entring
therein
,
not
repented
of
afterwards
:
If
thou
hast
laid
thy
hand
to
this
Plow
,
become
a
Husbandman
in
this
exercise
,
thou
must
not
by
any
meanes
looke
backe
,
for
then
the
allurement
of
other
beauties
will
breed
a
dislike
of
thine
owne
,
in
which
that
thou
maist
bee
the
better
contented
,
haue
some
part
in
thine
owne
portion
,
for
as
the
saying
is
:
Who
takes
a
woman
foule
vnto
his
wife
,
Doth
pennance
daily
,
yet
sinnes
all
his
life
.
The
charges
of
children
,
the
vnfaithfulnesse
of
seruants
,
the
disquietnesse
of
neighbours
,
would
wish
for
a
former
liberty
and
releasement
,
and
nothing
disgesteth
this
course
of
life
more
then
constancy
and
perseuerance
,
and
because
it
is
a
Trade
of
such
Mystery
and
Art
,
therefore
(
as
a
famous
man
of
our
time
writeth
)
those
that
haue
but
seuen
yeares
to
learne
any
other
,
haue
three
times
seuen
to
acquaint
themselues
in
the
laborinth
of
this
and
the
management
thereof
before
they
vndertake
it
,
therefore
hauing
this
notion
make
vse
thereof
,
either
discharge
it
willingly
and
contentedly
,
or
vndertake
it
not
at
all
.
CHAP.
XIIII
.
Certaine
Precepts
to
be
obserued
either
in
Wiuing
or
Marriage
.
1
WOoe
not
by
Embassadour
.
2
Make
not
thy
friend
too
familiar
with
thy
wife
.
3
Conceiue
not
an
idle
iealousy
,
being
a
fire
once
kindled
not
easily
put
out
.
4
Affect
him
not
that
would
ill
possesse
thee
.
5
Blase
not
her
beauty
with
thine
owne
tongue
.
6
If
thy
estate
bee
weake
and
poore
marry
farre
off
and
quickly
;
if
otherwise
firme
and
rich
,
at
home
and
with
deliberation
.
7
Bee
aduised
before
thou
conclude
,
for
though
thy
errour
may
teach
thee
wit
it
is
vncertaine
in
this
whether
thou
shalt
euer
haue
the
like
occasion
to
practise
it
.
8
Marry
not
for
Gentility
without
her
support
,
because
it
can
buy
nothing
in
the
Market
without
money
.
9
Make
thy
choice
rather
of
a
vertuous
then
a
learned
wife
.
10
Esteeme
rather
what
shee
is
of
her selfe
,
then
what
shee
should
bee
by
inheritance
.
11
Intactam
quaeris
intactam
esto
.
Bee
that
example
to
thy
wife
thou
wouldst
haue
her
to
imitate
.
For
hee
that
strikes
with
the
Point
must
bee
content
to
bee
beaten
with
the
Pommell
.
12
Shee
whose
youth
hath
pleased
thee
dispise
not
her
age
.
13
That
thou
maist
bee
loued
,
be
amiable
.
14
Saile
not
on
this
Sea
without
a
good
Compasse
,
for
a
wicked
woman
brings
a
man
to
repentance
sooner
than
a
surfet
,
sooner
then
suretiship
.
15
'T
is
the
greater
dispraise
to
children
to
bee
like
to
wicked
parents
.
16
'T
is
more
torment
to
bée
iealous
of
a
mans
wife
,
then
resolued
of
her
dishonesty
.
And
the
more
misery
that
a
man
may
bee
assured
of
her
vice
that
way
,
but
cannot
bee
of
her
vertue
.
17
True
chastity
doth
not
onely
consist
in
keeping
the
body
from
vncleanesse
,
but
in
with-holding
the
minde
from
lust
;
&
she
may
be
more
maide
that
hath
bene
vnwillingly
forced
thereto
in
body
,
then
shee
that
hath
barely
consented
in
heart
.
18
A
true
wife
should
bee
like
a
Turcoyse
stone
,
cleere
in
heart
in
her
husbands
health
,
and
clowdy
in
his
sickenesse
.
And
like
a
Tortoyse
vnder
her
shell
euer
bearing
her
house
vpon
her
backe
.
19
Deferre
not
thy
Marriage
to
thy
age
,
for
a
woman
out
of
her
owne
choyce
seldome
pluckes
a
man
,
(
as
a
Rose
)
full
blowne
.
20
Marry
so
thy
body
that
thou
maist
marry
thy
mind
;
which
that
thou
maist
the
better
do
,
thus
meditate
.
1
That
if
thou
hadst
in
variety
of
woman
out-paraleld
Salomon
,
thou
shouldst
in
the
end
giue
vp
thy
verdict
with
his
:
That
all
is
but
vanity
and
vexation
of
Spirit
.
2
That
it
is
in
lust
as
in
riches
,
where
to
desire
nothing
and
to
inioy
all
things
is
but
one
:
To
vncouer
more
seuerall
nakednesse
then
the
Turke
from
his
Decimary
Seraglio
hath
authority
for
,
with
an
vnsatiateillimited
appetite
,
and
to
desire
none
,
at
least
wise
no
variety
,
is
the
same
I
with
aduantage
.
3
That
if
thou
shouldest
thus
seeking
to
please
thine
appetite
inioy
a
thousand
,
and
but
want
one
thou
desirest
,
thou
shouldst
more
grieue
for
that
little
want
,
then
reioyce
in
all
thy
former
plenty
.
4
Then
since
what
thou
canst
enioy
,
consume
thy
oyle
to
the
socket
,
and
thy
substance
to
a
morsell
,
will
not
,
be
one
to
thy
pleasure
for
ten
thousand
that
escape
it
,
the
variety
so
large
neuer
to
bee
gathered
into
one
bundle
of
thy
fruition
,
to
set
vp
thy
rest
,
but
the
more
thou
pursuest
it
the
more
thou
art
distracted
:
Content
thy selfe
within
thy
lawfull
limits
,
and
destroy
not
thy selfe
to
runne
after
that
thou
canst
nere
oretake
,
which
the
faster
thou
followest
it
the
swifter
it
flies
from
thee
.
5
That
it
were
a
griefe
to
die
for
the
full
pleasure
of
any
sence
,
but
a
torment
for
a
tast
to
a
greater
distemper
,
like
to
him
that
should
purchase
at
a
deare
rate
salt
water
to
quench
his
thirst
,
which
the
more
hee
should
drinke
should
but
the
more
increase
it
.
6
That
if
beauty
,
or
wisedome
,
or
any
other
portion
of
the
body
or
minde
assaile
thée
,
refell
them
with
this
thought
,
that
they
are
but
shadowes
of
that
substance
,
which
should
the
more
allure
thee
:
But
pictures
,
which
if
they
please
,
are
but
that
the
patterne
should
be
the
more
desired
.
Thinke
that
as
each
day
is
an
abridgement
of
all
time
,
presents
the
same
light
,
the
same
vse
,
the
same
Sunne
and
Firmament
,
and
the
ending
of
this
renues
but
the
same
to
morrow
:
So
each
woman
an
abridgement
of
that
whole
sexe
,
and
infirmity
,
how
meane
so
euer
,
expresseth
the
same
substance
,
the
same
mould
,
and
mettall
,
proportion
,
quality
,
and
vse
of
all
other
in
the
world
:
Who
then
would
be
so
mad
against
sence
,
though
they
would
perswade
otherwise
by
Title
,
by
Trapping
,
by
copious
adulterating
all
partes
,
to
beleeue
(
as
they
would
bee
thought
)
that
they
are
other
then
what
they
are
,
other
then
the
same
,
vnlesse
worse
then
other
:
The
same
way
and
the
same
fashion
,
leading
to
the
Harborough
of
the
same
site
,
of
the
same
condition
and
quality
,
though
a
little
more
circumstances
(
in
some
then
other
)
beates
the
Bush
,
and
vshers
it
on
.
Know
this
,
that
the
end
of
all
such
variety
is
no
more
then
one
dish
,
dressed
and
presented
by
a
seuerall
Cooke
,
and
fashion
the
same
in
all
one
but
in
circumstance
and
carriage
:
Who
would
thus
bee
mad
without
reason
to
ioyle
after
the
whole
Alphabet
of
woman
,
when
the
lest
letter
in
the
row
expoundeth
all
that
Text
and
Couerture
.
And
for
Title
,
or
Toombelike
brauery
,
well
may
they
worke
vpon
the
eie
of
follie
but
neuer
besiege
the
heart
of
vnderstanding
:
And
as
it
was
lately
well
obserued
by
one
,
who
,
to
that
effect
,
thus
further
noted
their
vanity
.
Things
were
first
made
,
then
cal'd
,
woman
the
same
,
With
or
without
false
Title
,
or
proud
name
.
And
if
this
bee
not
yet
enough
,
take
with
thee
besides
for
a
conclusion
and
barre
to
all
the
rest
,
this
Motto
or
Sentence
to

Discontents
in
all
Ages
,
Sexes
,
States
,
Conditions
.
VNmedled
ioyes
here
to
no
man
befall
,
Who
least
hath
some
,
who
most
hath
neuer
all
:
I
haue
examin'd
from
the
King
on
's
Throne
,
To
him
that
at
his
chayned
Oare
doth
groane
,
Euery
estate
,
condition
,
and
degree
Scytuate
betweene
this
large
extremitie
:
Yet
wheresoeuer
that
I
cast
mine
eye
,
I
neuer
was
so
fortunate
to
spye
That
man
that
had
so
great
a
blessing
lent
him
,
That
had
not
some
what
in
't
to
discontent
him
:
The
rich
man
with
his
cares
and
feares
opprest
In
all
hee
hath
can
finde
but
little
rest
:
Ill
Creditors
,
vnthrifty
Heyres
,
and
losses
,
Or
else
the
Gout
,
or
something
worse
,
all
crosses
.
The
poore
in
want
forsaken
of
his
friends
,
Thinkes
that
were
wealth
is
there
all
sorrow
ends
:
But
yet
as
here
immediately
I
show
,
The
rich
that
hath
it
doth
not
finde
it
so
.
One
Tradesman
he
dislikes
his
owne
Vocation
And
on
a
worse
he
sets
his
admiration
.
The
single
man
commends
the
married
life
That
hath
the
sweete
fruition
of
a
wife
:
That
opens
all
her
beauties
and
her
treasure
,
In
Hils
and
Dales
that
he
ore-walkes
at
pleasure
:
That
may
vnstarted
and
vnfear'd
pertake
Whole
nights
together
,
that
which
he
doth
quake
To
snatch
in
corners
,
when
he
must
away
,
Sometimes
disturb'd
when
he
would
longer
stay
:
Bannish't
like
Tantalus
in
his
forc'd
hast
,
To
touch
the
sweetenesse
that
he
may
not
taste
.
The
married
man
whom
all
these
danties
cloy
Thinkes
that
the
sauce
the
sweetnesse
doth
destroy
:
And
that
to
purchase
is
so
wondrous
deere
,
That
he
had
rather
fast
then
finde
the
cheere
.
Then
children
come
,
and
they
augment
his
charges
,
And
iealousie
some
times
all
these
inlarges
.
That
what
th'
other
thinkes
doth
heauen
excell
He
that
inioyes
it
findes
it
but
a
hell
:
And
wisheth
now
,
but
that
it
is
too
late
,
That
with
the
Batchelour
he
might
change
his
state
.
Therefore
me
thinkes
his
application
fit
That
to
a
publicke
feast
compared
it
.
Where
those
that
long
haue
sate
and
cloy'd
with
meate
,
Would
faine
rise
vp
as
others
faine
would
eate
.
Th'
ambitious
youth
least
folly
ouersway
him
,
Hath
Tutors
,
rod
,
and
parents
eye
to
stay
him
:
Noting
the
liberty
of
riper
yeares
,
With
more
impatience
his
restrainings
beares
:
When
elder
times
againe
(
the
more
't
is
strange
)
Would
faine
creepe
backe
againe
and
with
him
change
.
The
busy
Lawyer
beating
of
his
braine
To
make
rough
points
by
praesidences
plaine
:
Who
from
a
iudgement
wrongfully
gone
out
,
Doth
sometimes
bring
anothers
right
in
doubt
By
iudging
by
it
,
let
the
first
but
stray
And
all
go
wrong
that
are
adiudg'd
that
way
.
Noting
the
Marchant
,
how
from
forraine
shores
,
The
winds
and
waues
land
wealth
vnto
his
dores
:
That
where
he
sleepe
,
or
wake
,
or
rest
,
or
play
,
So
Aires
be
prosperous
,
he
growes
rich
that
way
,
Dislikes
his
choyce
,
the
Marchant
he
in
danger
,
T'
whom
Rockes
,
and
Shelues
and
Pyrates
are
no
stranger
:
That
try
the
wonders
of
the
vnknowne
deepes
,
Whom
but
a
three
inch't
board
from
danger
keepes
:
Traffiques
with
vnknowne
Aires
,
and
vnknowne
friends
Leauing
his
wife
at
home
to
doubtfull
ends
.
Who
in
his
watry
Pilgrimage
is
sed
To
be
with
neither
liuing
nor
the
dead
.
Commends
the
Lawyer
that
hath
power
and
skill
,
Either
to
make
or
marre
,
to
saue
or
spill
A
mans
whole
reuenue
,
and
therefore
need
Either
for
speech
or
silence
to
be
feede
.
The
Empericke
vncredited
that
tugges
,
With
forcelesse
hearbes
and
with
effectlesse
drugges
,
Commends
the
Church-man
for
his
happy
share
,
Securely
free'd
from
Temporary
care
:
When
he
againe
with
discontents
full
many
,
Thinkes
the
Physitians
happiest
life
of
any
;
For
by
how
much
the
bodies
better
deem'd
,
Then
is
the
soule
,
so
much
more
he
's
esteem'd
,
Which
is
by
much
,
for
let
the
body
grieue
it
There
's
nothing
vnattempted
may
relieue
it
:
But
for
the
soule
although
it
die
and
languish
Wee
nere
regard
the
dolor
nor
the
anguish
:
But
to
the
greatest
danger
do
reply
It
will
recouer
,
or
it
cannot
die
:
Therefore
to
him
that
doth
the
Physicke
bring
,
To
this
regardlesse
disesteemed
thing
,
Hath
a
poore
meed
more
recompenc't
his
merite
,
That
cures
the
body
then
applies
to
th'
spirit
.
And
what
in
health
men
graple
and
retaine
,
If
sickenesse
come
it
flies
to
ease
their
paine
.
He
that
by
auarice
and
damn'd
extortion
,
Hath
heap't
vp
many
a
pound
to
his
heyres
portion
,
So
far
from
thought
of
doing
any
good
,
That
what
it
was
hee
neuer
vnderstood
;
Sets
vp
his
rest
for
euer
here
to
dwell
,
And
therefore
thinkes
no
other
heauen
or
hell
.
Yet
when
this
Seriant
death
comes
to
assayle
him
,
To
thee
he
opens
hoping
thou
canst
bayle
him
:
And
though
thou
canst
not
,
do
but
seeme
to
assent
,
And
he
'le
reward
thee
to
thine
owne
content
:
Therefore
this
Art
and
Trade
who
ere
neglect
it
,
Let
him
exchange
with
me
that
do
affect
it
:
He
that
a
weary
languisht
youth
hath
lead
To
thinke
what
pleasures
are
in
Marriage
bed
:
That
hath
entreated
houres
and
yeares
to
hast
them
,
To
cancell
bonds
that
he
may
come
and
taste
them
.
When
there
arriu'd
not
finding
to
content
him
,
What
expectation
did
before
present
him
.
Let
him
appease
his
thoughts
vpon
this
ground
,
That
in
this
world
that
purchase
is
not
found
.
There
's
discontent
in
euery
sect
and
age
,
As
well
in
Child-hood
as
in
Parentage
.
There
's
discontent
in
euery
mans
Vocation
,
Therefore
pursues
it
newnesse
innouation
.
There
's
discontent
from
Scepter
to
the
Swaine
,
And
from
the
Peasant
to
the
King
againe
.
Then
whatsoeuer
in
thy
will
afflict
thee
,
Or
in
thy
pleasure
seeme
to
contradict
thee
;
Giue
it
a
welcome
as
a
wholesome
friend
,
That
would
instruct
thee
to
a
better
end
:
Since
no
Condition
,
Sect
,
nor
State
is
free
,
Thinke
not
to
find
in
this
what
nere
can
bee
.
