A13823	The revvard of religion Deliuered in sundrie lectures vpon the booke of Ruth, wherein the godly may see their daily and outwarde tryals, with the presence of God to assist them, and his mercies to recompence them: verie profitable for this present time of dearth, wherein manye are most pittifully tormented with want; and also worthie to bee considered in this golden age of the preaching of the word, when some vomit vp the loathsomnes therof, and others fall away to damnable securitie.	Topsell, Edward, 1572-1625?	1596 (1596)	STC 24127; ESTC S105980	250,925	363

ample_a manner_n confess_v the_o benefit_n they_o have_v receive_v of_o other_o but_o by_o all_o mean_n extenuate_v they_o which_o make_v man_n unwilling_a to_o do_v any_o good_a because_o they_o can_v have_v no_o thanks_n for_o their_o labour_n and_o this_o it_o be_v that_o cause_v covetousness_n and_o bribery_n extortion_n and_o usury_n to_o enter_v upon_o their_o body_n and_o wealth_n that_o will_v not_o gratifye_v with_o kind_n and_o deserve_a report_n so_o that_o now_o man_n will_v please_v themselves_o with_o money_n and_o reward_n that_o will_v have_v be_v satisfy_v with_o thankful_a word_n which_o be_v a_o just_a judgement_n upon_o the_o world_n that_o will_v not_o be_v content_v to_o recompense_v kindness_n for_o kindness_n be_v now_o plague_v with_o covetousness_n for_o kindness_n wherefore_o naomi_n this_o be_v the_o last_o part_n of_o this_o conference_n or_o dialogue_n wherein_o naomi_n counsel_v ruth_n to_o follow_v and_o take_v the_o proffer_n of_o boaz_n and_o abide_v with_o his_o maiden_n to_o avoid_v all_o danger_n if_o the_o reaper_n deny_v she_o in_o another_o field_n where_o we_o first_o of_o all_o note_n that_o if_o we_o acquaint_v our_o parent_n and_o friend_n with_o our_o action_n and_o enterprise_n it_o may_v go_v far_o better_o with_o we_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n for_o their_o age_a counsel_n which_o they_o have_v buy_v with_o much_o experience_n may_v stay_v our_o unsteddie_a mind_n with_o their_o approve_a advice_n ruth_n in_o this_o place_n declare_v the_o courtesy_n of_o boaz_n have_v it_o confirrm_v with_o the_o counsel_n of_o naomi_n and_o ground_v upon_o a_o reason_n which_o she_o know_v not_o nor_o fear_v not_o for_o she_o think_v that_o in_o everye_o place_n she_o shall_v have_v find_v the_o like_a entertainment_n and_o the_o reaper_n that_o then_o be_v shall_v so_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o harvest_n but_o naomi_n know_v they_o be_v often_o change_v and_o so_o in_o the_o end_n it_o may_v fall_v out_o otherwise_o than_o boaz_n appoint_v or_o ruth_n expect_v and_o this_o i_o think_v do_v show_v unto_o we_o what_o manner_n person_n parent_n ought_v to_o be_v for_o if_o child_n want_v counsel_n they_o shall_v be_v advise_v by_o their_o parent_n if_o comfort_n it_o shall_v be_v minister_v by_o parent_n if_o necessary_n they_o shall_v be_v provide_v by_o parent_n if_o instruction_n they_o shall_v be_v guide_v by_o parent_n and_o final_o if_o correction_n they_o shall_v be_v order_v by_o parent_n 6.2_o which_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v wish_v but_o be_v require_v by_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o bring_v they_o up_o in_o the_o fear_n and_o nurture_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o this_o be_v du_o weigh_v and_o reverent_o consider_v as_o eliahas_n cloak_n part_v the_o water_n of_o jordan_n so_o this_o will_v part_n asunder_o and_o break_v of_o many_o thousand_o marriage_n in_o our_o day_n where_o parent_n be_v not_o able_a to_o counsel_n nor_o willing_a to_o be_v counsel_v which_o if_o they_o will_v they_o have_v not_o be_v marry_v this_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o discredit_n of_o marriage_n but_o only_o i_o exhort_v as_o from_o the_o lord_n that_o those_o which_o either_o be_v or_o intend_v to_o be_v marry_v will_v look_v and_o travail_v first_o for_o wisdom_n and_o then_o for_o wife_n first_o for_o virtue_n and_o then_o for_o husband_n wherein_o if_o they_o follow_v my_o advice_n i_o assure_v they_o their_o marriage_n will_v be_v much_o merry_a and_o their_o posterity_n much_o happy_a second_o by_o this_o we_o gather_v that_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a or_o indecent_a thing_n for_o woman_n to_o travail_n or_o work_v alone_o without_o any_o company_n for_o the_o weak_a be_v soon_o oppress_v and_o woman_n be_v quick_o conquer_v ●_o we_o know_v dinah_n travail_v alone_o be_v take_v &_o ravish_v by_o sichem_n and_o abigail_n when_o she_o go_v to_o pacific_a the_o wrath_n of_o david_n take_v servant_n with_o hit_n as_o in_o this_o place_n naomi_n counsel_v ruth_n to_o abide_v in_o the_o company_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o boaz_n account_v it_o a_o indecent_a and_o unseemelye_a thing_n for_o woman_n and_o maiden_n to_o be_v see_v alone_o and_o true_o if_o servant_n in_o our_o day_n have_v many_o time_n more_o company_n there_o will_v be_v less_o dishonestye_n among_o they_o for_o we_o know_v and_o see_v to_o our_o grief_n that_o the_o daily_o and_o usual_a familiarity_n of_o a_o few_o have_v breed_v some_o disease_n in_o our_o church_n and_o distemper_n in_o our_o common_a wealth_n this_o i_o speak_v that_o even_o in_o these_o day_n of_o peace_n man_n will_v be_v more_o careful_a over_o daughter_n and_o servant_n and_o not_o to_o employ_v they_o so_o common_o as_o they_o do_v in_o journey_n and_o travail_n and_o solitary_a business_n but_o for_o more_o assurance_n keep_v they_o with_o company_n which_o may_v be_v their_o defence_n against_o all_o danger_n if_o any_o happen_v and_o the_o avoid_n of_o dishonesty_n if_o any_o be_v so_o light_o dispose_v three_o by_o this_o we_o note_v what_o company_n be_v best_a for_o both_o kind_n of_o youth_n either_o young_a man_n or_o maiden_n when_o naomi_n say_v it_o be_v good_a for_o thou_o to_o go_v forth_o with_o his_o maiden_n that_o be_v thou_o be_v a_o woman_n and_o abide_v among_o his_o woman_n and_o maiden_n for_o all_o companion_n be_v neither_o fit_a nor_o lawful_a maiden_n among_o man_n and_o man_n among_o maiden_n be_v for_o many_o cause_n disalow_v first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o equality_n in_o the_o sex_n that_o they_o may_v keep_v together_o for_o if_o they_o labour_v it_o be_v not_o alike_o and_o if_o they_o sport_v their_o pleasure_n be_v contrary_a and_o if_o they_o dally_v it_o be_v flat_a iniquity_n in_o consideration_n whereof_o in_o old_a time_n the_o wife_n have_v one_o tent_n to_o dwell_v in_o and_o the_o be_v another_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o abraham_n 15.20_o in_o sara_n in_o jacob_n and_o his_o wife_n and_o like_o this_o it_o be_v that_o miriam_n and_o the_o woman_n of_o israel_n praise_v god_n by_o themselves_o after_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o moses_n and_o aaron_n her_o brother_n with_o all_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n by_o themselves_o and_o also_o we_o know_v how_o the_o virgin_n of_o israel_n go_v up_o every_o year_n in_o to_o the_o wilderness_n to_o lament_v and_o talk_v with_o the_o daughter_n of_o jephthah_n whereby_o we_o be_v teach_v 11.37_o that_o not_o only_o for_o fear_v of_o danger_n but_o also_o for_o modesty_n and_o conscience_n sake_n we_o must_v avoid_v this_o mingle_a company_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n except_o in_o necessary_a occasion_n as_o prayer_n privatelye_a and_o publiquelye_a communication_n of_o godly_a pretend_a marriage_n and_o such_o like_a business_n whereby_o also_o we_o see_v at_o once_o condemn_v the_o feast_n dance_a meeting_z play_v and_o run_v of_o man_n and_o maiden_n together_o without_o all_o respect_n of_o honesty_n or_o modesty_n and_o that_o which_o be_v worst_a parent_n and_o master_n will_v behold_v their_o pastime_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o vanity_n of_o their_o wanton_a child_n train_n they_o up_o in_o a_o dissolute_a life_n and_o commend_v their_o indecent_a and_o unseemly_a behaviour_n amend_v this_o negligence_n in_o the_o shell_n of_o infancy_n and_o your_o child_n will_v grow_v up_o to_o your_o great_a comfort_n and_o prosper_v to_o their_o more_o happy_a welfare_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o many_o sin_n will_v be_v cut_v of_o if_o we_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o she_o abide_v this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o chapter_n &_o second_o part_n of_o this_o history_n show_v unto_o we_o that_o ruth_n follow_v y_z e_z counsel_n of_o her_o mother_n abide_v with_o y_z e_z maiden_n of_o boaz_n to_o the_o end_n of_o barley_n and_o wheat_n harvest_n &_o aferward_o dwell_v with_o to_o her_o mother_n again_o where_o we_o observe_v another_o example_n of_o obedience_n in_o ruth_n that_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o her_o mother_n and_o go_v forth_o with_o the_o maiden_n of_o boaz._n and_o sure_o it_o be_v common_o see_v that_o such_o as_o the_o mother_n be_v such_o be_v the_o daughter_n for_o more_o naomies_n will_v make_v mo_z ruthe_n and_o mo_z good_a mother_n will_v make_v more_o good_a daughter_n and_o in_o these_o day_n all_o the_o fault_n of_o child_n may_v just_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o folly_n of_o parent_n as_o the_o old_a crab_n go_v so_o go_v the_o young_a and_o as_o the_o old_a cock_n crow_v so_o crow_v the_o

very_o swift_a three_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o sell_v inheritance_n and_o to_o bestow_v or_o employ_v the_o money_n upon_o the_o church_n so_o we_o read_v of_o the_o primitive_a church_n how_o they_o which_o have_v land_n sell_v it_o and_o bring_v the_o money_n 2.45_o and_o lay_v it_o down_o at_o the_o apostle_n foot_n and_o therefore_o be_v that_o excellent_a and_o fearful_a history_n of_o

note_v that_o woman_n or_o widow_n have_v the_o rule_n of_o their_o husband_n inheritance_n if_o they_o die_v without_o heir_n for_o here_o it_o be_v say_v that_o boaz_n buy_v it_o at_o the_o hand_n

will_v the_o inheritance_n to_o descend_v unto_o they_o whereby_o we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n that_o woman_n shall_v be_v inheritor_n for_o the_o daughter_n of_o job_n have_v inheritance_n among_o their_o brother_n 36.6_o the_o daughter_n of_o zelopehad_n have_v their_o father_n lot_n 36.7_o and_o caleb_n give_v his_o daughter_n acsah_n with_o a_o inheritance_n unto_o

yet_o she_o give_v it_o to_o ruth_n she_o may_v have_v sell_v it_o to_o fill_v her_o purse_n but_o she_o bestow_v it_o to_o prefer_v her_o daughter_n wherein_o she_o teach_v we_o with_o what_o love_n we_o must_v do_v for_o our_o child_n namely_o that_o for_o they_o we_o must_v depart_v with_o our_o own_o maintenance_n and_o unto_o their_o good_a not_o only_o to_o the_o uttermost_a but_o also_o beyond_o our_o power_n and_o this_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v note_v of_o widow_n which_o be_v wealthy_o leave_v by_o their_o husband_n who_o be_v wont_v but_o little_a to_o care_v for_o their_o child_n but_o to_o bestow_v their_o good_n upon_o youthful_a companion_n see_v here_o this_o naomi_n have_v but_o a_o daughter_n in_o law_n she_o give_v she_o the_o whole_a inheritance_n as_o if_o she_o have_v be_v bear_v for_o it_o and_o true_o the_o only_a cause_n in_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o of_o all_o our_o wealth_n be_v that_o we_o may_v bestow_v it_o upon_o our_o child_n how_o grievous_a be_v it_o in_o many_o place_n to_o see_v both_o land_n and_o live_n consume_v by_o they_o which_o never_o sweat_v for_o they_o and_o many_o poor_a child_n to_o who_o of_o right_n they_o do_v pertain_v to_o be_v destitute_a both_o of_o friend_n and_o maintenance_n and_o all_o through_o the_o wanton_a marriage_n of_o their_o youthful_a mother_n but_o of_o this_o matter_n we_o have_v speak_v already_o and_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o remember_v at_o this_o time_n second_o by_o this_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o a_o marriage_n be_v a_o mere_a civil_a action_n because_o in_o the_o finish_n thereof_o there_o be_v not_o use_v either_o priest_n or_o levite_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o this_o place_n but_o be_v only_o pronounce_v by_o the_o man_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o elder_n even_o in_o the_o place_n of_o judgement_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o in_o ancient_a time_n we_o read_v of_o marriage_n but_o never_o celebrate_v in_o church_n but_o in_o private_a assembly_n except_o prince_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o make_v great_a and_o general_a feast_n for_o this_o institution_n that_o marriage_n shall_v be_v keep_v in_o church_n come_v up_o of_o late_a many_o hundred_o year_n since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o yet_o must_v not_o be_v disannul_v but_o observe_v as_o a_o holy_a and_o commendable_a order_n first_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o confusion_n that_o those_o which_o be_v fit_a may_v be_v join_v together_o before_o the_o faithful_a second_o for_o the_o more_o honour_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o matrimony_n that_o they_o may_v know_v it_o be_v with_o all_o reverence_n to_o be_v undertake_v see_v they_o come_v as_o it_o be_v even_o before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o almighty_a there_o to_o be_v unite_v three_o that_o it_o may_v be_v begin_v with_o

five_o that_o those_o marriage_n which_o be_v private_o keep_v and_o conclude_v may_v be_v account_v suspicious_a and_o unlawful_a wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a break_v this_o

by_o this_o we_o also_o observe_v the_o end_n of_o all_o marriage_n which_o be_v first_o for_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o second_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o church_n both_o these_o
