al-seeing Eye The winter blast thy floorish fare shall fade Swift-posting-time still tels thee you must dye In fansies lap spend not thy dayes for shame Go spend thy dayes where honour liues with fame Then get you gone sweet Syrins of deceat Full well I knowe your strange inchanting skill I scorne that Coward of a base conceat That Pandor-like waits on a womans will O let him dye deceaud that will not doubt you And happiest he who best can liue without you When a man hyreth an horse either to ryde Post or Journey as it pleases the ryder at his journeies end he receaues but a hyrelings pay and so he is presently gone But when a man hes an horse of his own he will haue a care of him and spare for no expenses to see him well furnished well fed and well dicht neither will he burst him nor spur-gall him but he will ryde him softly and spare him Now what if his horse should learne gades and doe nothing without the Bastenado kick with his feete and not be answerable to the Rainzie but must be ridden with a French bit in faith then I think that man had better ridden on a Caronze hyrling when his owne horse proves noght else but a wearied jad If a man could say this word My owne he were happy so being he could say it with contentment as my owne house my owne wyfe my owne children is it not written Let euery man haue his owne wife But now in these dayes such is the detestable abhominations cropen into the hearts of men which makes them to polut the sacred band of Matremonie Now in this godles tyme a man cares not to put away his own wyfe and take another he wil alledge a thousand lyes he will corrupt men and wemen to beare false witnes or else he is not ashamed to discover his owne filthines and take the fault on himselfe What God hath coupled together let no man separate And againe our Saviour sayes VVhosoeuer shall put away his owne wife and maries with another committeth adultery And if a woman put away or deuorse her selfe from her owne husband committed adultery incase she marie with any other man Said not the man to the woman at their first Creation This is now bone of my bones and fleshe of my fleshe and for that cause she shall be called woman And againe S. Paul speaking of the loue should be betwix the wife and the husband and what authority he hath over his wife he sayeth The man is not of the woman but the woman of the man for the man was not created for the womans sake but the woman for the mans sake And why then should a man hate his owne flesh and bones Why should not a wel-deserving wife be well cherished and aboue all things most respected as his second-self yea even all in al as himself But many men are to blame who maries a woman and presently after he is maried goeth to farre Countries and longsome journeyes and lives her to the mercy of all misery it is a great signe and token that this man whatsomever hes neither respect to GOD nor shame of the world and he is a Rebel to the command of GOD When a man taketh a new wife he shall not goe a warfare neither shall he be charged with any bussinesse but he shall be free and remaine at home one yeare and rejoyce with his wyfe It were better never to marie then to mary and abuse Mariage But the originall of this mischeef proceeds partely of Parents and partely of the parties themselues whose avarice and gread of geare is such that they care not whom with they joyne so being they be ritch they looke not to education to qualaties not birth ritches hides all imperfections and what followes noght else but hatred greefe a languishing repentance a mutuall contempt a continuall battell and a loathsome bed when daies of anger and nights of sorrow are waited-on with Argus-eid jelousy The wise man saith in his Canticles Ielousie is cruell as the graue and the coles thereof are fyrie and coles of a vehement flame And the Italian making a description of jelousie he crieth out with a vehement passion Da quell sospetto rio da quell timore da quell Martir da quella frenesia da quella rabia detta gelesia How many are they who are robd both of shame and honour yeelding to insatiable lust no restraint nor yet setting limits to modesty but gives their own desire fre scope to a more then beastly appatyte intertainde with all kinde of delicat allurements that their filthy flesh may ever be craving and the better furnished with that consuming pleasure And again when some shameles creatures makes their body the moving stage of licherous sin where all the fates of activaty and walting trickes giues a generall tryall in a particular forme when base bloud corrupts Nobility makes wrongous heires possesse other mens lands when voluntarie ignorance becomes a Nurse to vnlawfull children And when the sacred vowe of Matrimonie is made a jugling maske to oversyle the eies of true simplisetie The wrongde Spaniard cryde out De la mala muger te guarda y de la buena no fies nada Alas poore horned bucks whilst they judge charetably and makes their foolish ignorance impute all to a kinde courtasie which brings nothing with it but an homely honestie even then is least misdeming mindes made a mocking stock to secret villany and if the partie who is wrongde appeare to misconster any thing or to smell knavery then presently is there a complementing application of borrowed imbracements accompaned with vrged teares fained kisses false perjuries flatring speaches with broken vowes and a number of vnperformde protestations All this villanous dissimulation hoodwinks verity maks one become the pointed-outsport of anothers pleasure one beat the bush whilst others catch the bird and the righteous owner feed on idle showes whilst strangers injoies the true substance This tricking Humor takes both chesses and belles from many a one sends them to the Rangild But heare what opinion the word of GOD hath of such The lippes of a strange woman drop as a honey combe and her mouth is more soft then Oyle but the end of her is more bitter then wormewod and more sharpe then a two edged sword And againe to that same purpose Then why shuld thou delite my son in a strange woman or imbrace the bosome of a strāger With what eies can thou looke vpon thine own wife when thou giuest thy bodie to another woman is not her face a booke that vnfolds a volume of accusations to thy spotted soule Is not the Echo of these words I take thee before God still sounding through the corners of thy Conscience tooke thou not her to thy wyfe did thou not vowe before GOD and the world to keep thy body cleane onely for her Why should thou then imbrace

Mother that thy dayes may be long in the land which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee Let ingratfull children goe look on that wondrous worke of Nature and of Loue the young Cigonz●is will vomet vp their meate from their stomach to nurisch their parens when they are oulde and can not flee Looke to all beasts by Nature what loue they cary one to another what mutuall concord in their owne kinde and how much more ought reasonable creatures the Parents to the children and the children to the Parents Ye Parents saieth S. Paul prouoke not your children to wrath Meaning be over great austeirnes when Parents and Children liues all in peace and quyetnes and in charitable concord O how good a thing is it saieth the Scripture and how joyfull is it to see brethren and sisters and the whole family to liue in loue and peace they eate their bread with sweete contentment and spends their dayes in great happines But woe be to seditious tail-tellers to leying lippes to harkners and rounders to back-byters and slanderers who are sowers of dissention and with their wicked and malitious tongues are inventers of mischeif The wisdome of GOD saith A wicked person soweth strife and a tail-teller maketh dissention It is vpon such wicked instruments that the great GOD hath promest to raine fire and brimstone with stormie tempests this shall be the portion of their cup with many more greevous and endlesse torments which are provided for detracters and slanderers All beastes are tamde be man but the tongue no man can tame it is an vnruely euill full of deadly poysone Contentment is great wealth and sobreatie with loue is better then Kingdomes with strife I had rather dwell with a Lion then keepe house with a wicked wife And againe saith the Scripture A wicked wife maketh a sory heart an heauy countenance and a wounded minde wake hands and feeble knees and can not comfort her husband in hauines Can any goe more neere the husband then the wife are they not both one flesh But such is the wake fragility of our wicked nature that even they who lieth in others bosomes some-time will discord but the discord amongst friends should be short as betwix the Parents and the Children betwix Brether and Sisters and cheefly betwix the Man and the Wife Is it not written Let not the Sunne goe downe vpon your anger The anger of some wemen are dangerous the wise and learned man Ausonius speaking of a womans anger he saieth That the wylde Boare persewed of dogs the Viper whose taile is tread vpon the Lyons bitten with hunger the Tiger robd of her young-ones are not more cruell and fearce then an angry woman Melior est iniquitas viri quam mulier benefaciens There should be no vp-casts betwixt the man and the woman as to say thou art come of this or of that we are all the children of Adam and also what ever secretes are amongst them should not be reveild were the occasion never so great Many times great mischief hes bred of such things for this cause woman shuld not be curious of the mans perticular affairs Sampson being maried with the vncircumcised Philistanes his wife did never rest but importuned him to knowe his secrets and then she reveiled all to his great harme The wise man Salomon sayeth A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband but she that maketh him ashamed is as corruption in his bones But many times it falles out that the man is author of his shame blowing and sounding abroad the Trumpet of his owne ignomy in this respect that when he knoweth a particular imperfection to predominat in his wife he will not be secrete but makes the world pointe their fingers at his turpritude when he is to come home he should send word before and tell he comes and if his minde assure him that Occupata ela stanza then should he be very ware to enter his house vpon a suddainty least he catch a moat in his eye and then his eie-sore will sting his heart with impatience turning all the misty-clouds of his darke doubts in a clear-shining verity it will bring Jelousie to a true and perfite resolution it will giue him possession of Hornes and so by this meanes it inrolles him amongst the Cathegory of voluntary Cuck-colds then must he maintaine a back-dore for the ingresse and egresse of his wifes vulgare actions A sentenall must haue a good eare a quick eie and a swift retreat that the al'arme may be the more tymous and to make a more large preparation for Patience O what a spatious subject is this and how endlesse appeares this profound discourse like a stranger Pilgrim in a wildernesse J haue lost my way or like the Sea-faring-man fatigated in a longsome voyage sounding his lead where he findeth no ground in such groundles deepes then at last he returnes hopeles to end his seeming endlesse journey with a dissembling courage and a heartles cry he comforts his company So good Reader I am forced heere obruptly to break off for so long as this Subject is the load-star of my discourse I think and am assured that my Ship shall never arryue to the sight of Capa dell buena asperanza Then in despaire I bid this large Ocaean fare-well for this fearfull and tempestuous storme threatens Ship-wrack I must stand by my Taik-ling shut my Rudder a lee and seeke vp for the next shoare Away vaine world thou Oaecan of annoyes And welcome Heauen with thy eternall joyes O How farre beholde doeth it goe beyond the reatch of mans capacitie to ponder the great and wondrous workes of GOD when we meditate vpon his miracles to see the frame of every thing presenting such strange objects this large prospect of Heaven and Earth the admirable operations of every thing which hath bene wroght and still works in the swift course of time and when we haue considered all that we can or may we shall see that mankinde of all other creatures are most ingrate to his Creator So that this great and vniversall Glob whose spatious shoulders is over-lodned with the wickednesse of mankinde and wearied with the heavy burthen of weghtie sinne and the vnnaturall strife in all kinde of estates even from the ritch Monarch to the poore begger We may see Kings opposde against Kings these great and earthly powers triumph in other mens spoyle we may see mightie ruelars vsurpe Kingdomes subjects mutein against their owne naturall Prince contemne his Laws in spight of GOD oppresse the poore and turne careles Rannegats to all Christianity Virum sanguinum dolosum abhominabitur Dominus GOD abhors and detests the bloudy and malitioue man he shall never get mercy all his abhominations shall not leaue him but shall follow him and accuse him his ambition and the complaints of the oppressed shall condemne his Soule And what is all this world it is noght
