you_o do_v it_o now_o there_o be_v set_v there_o six_o water-pot_n of_o stone_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o jew_n contain_v two_o or_o three_o measure_n apiece_o jesus_n

but_o the_o servant_n which_o draw_v the_o water_n know_v the_o governor_n of_o the_o feast_n call_v the_o bridegroom_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o every_o man_n at_o the_o beginning_n do_v set_v forth_o

read_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o marriage_n and_o the_o mother_n of_o jesus_n be_v there_o and_o not_o the_o mother_n only_o but_o jesus_n also_o be_v himself_o invite_v to_o it_o they_o be_v both_o invite_v and_o be_v both_o of_o they_o please_v to_o be_v there_o they_o be_v not_o content_v to_o come_v themselves_o to_o honour_v this_o happy_a solemnity_n but_o the_o disciple_n be_v also_o invite_v for_o their_o master_n sake_n he_o be_v please_v to_o bring_v they_o with_o he_o that_o they_o may_v be_v witness_n how_o much_o he_o honour_v it_o and_o that_o his_o apostle_n afterward_o may_v preach_v with_o great_a assurance_n this_o orthodox_n doctrine_n that_o marriage_n be_v always_o honourable_a not_o only_o in_o itself_o but_o in_o all_o who_o right_o engage_v in_o it_o and_o observe_v the_o duty_n of_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o raise_v more_o the_o value_n of_o any_o commendation_n than_o to_o have_v it_o give_v by_o those_o who_o be_v commendable_a for_o be_v of_o a_o different_a profession_n such_o a_o commendation_n carry_v with_o it_o a_o much_o fair_a appearance_n of_o be_v impartial_a and_o sincere_a and_o therefore_o be_v more_o just_o valuable_a if_o marriage_n be_v esteem_v and_o praise_v only_o by_o marry_a people_n we_o shall_v not_o much_o admire_v the_o commendation_n which_o they_o so_o frank_o bestow_v upon_o their_o own_o condition_n but_o when_o we_o see_v virginity_n itself_o do_v so_o much_o justice_n to_o a_o marry_a life_n as_o to_o approve_v it_o when_o we_o see_v the_o two_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o virginity_n the_o virgin_n son_n of_o god_n and_o virgin_n mother_n vouchsafe_v to_o adorn_v a_o wedding_n with_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o presence_n when_o we_o consider_v that_o although_o they_o both_o of_o they_o prefer_v a_o virgin_n life_n so_o much_o before_o it_o that_o the_o one_o will_v not_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o woman_n unless_o she_o be_v a_o virgin_n neither_o be_v the_o other_o content_v to_o be_v his_o mother_n till_o she_o understand_v that_o by_o a_o miracle_n she_o may_v be_v fruitful_a without_o the_o least_o prejudice_n of_o her_o virginity_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o both_o of_o they_o be_v please_v to_o accept_v the_o invitation_n and_o be_v witness_n of_o the_o solemnity_n when_o i_o say_v we_o due_o consider_v all_o these_o circumstance_n we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o although_o virginity_n be_v preferable_a as_o be_v more_o perfect_a yet_o the_o state_n of_o marriage_n be_v true_o honourable_a in_o itself_o and_o aught_o to_o

than_o that_o for_o which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v please_v to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n which_o be_v that_o the_o child_n of_o man_n may_v by_o his_o grace_n become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o this_o reason_n he_o establish_v his_o holy_a church_n upon_o earth_n he_o give_v apostle_n bishop_n and_o pastor_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o give_v a_o strict_a commission_n to_o parent_n to_o bring_v their_o child_n to_o he_o that_o they_o may_v know_v his_o holy_a will_n and_o do_v it_o that_o they_o may_v grow_v up_o in_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o by_o daily_a improvement_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o christian_a duty_n they_o may_v replenish_v the_o church_n militant_a here_o and_o the_o church_n triumphant_a hereafter_o if_o any_o say_v the_o apostle_n have_v not_o care_n of_o their_o own_o and_o especial_o of_o those_o who_o be_v of_o their_o own_o house_n their_o own_o family_n their_o own_o flesh_n and_o blood_n they_o have_v deny_v the_o faith_n and_o be_v worse_o than_o infidel_n i_o must_v confess_v it_o be_v no_o small_a honour_n for_o marry_a person_n to_o be_v constitute_v coadjutor_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o great_a work_n which_o bring_v he_o down_o from_o heaven_n but_o then_o again_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o very_a honour_n bring_v along_o with_o it_o so_o many_o and_o such_o heavy_a obligation_n that_o unless_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n support_v they_o it_o will_v only_o serve_v to_o crush_v they_o with_o its_o weight_n a_o virgin_n have_v only_o one_o soul_n to_o save_v one_o
