giue vnto himselfe as much pleasure as Salomon possessed as his Where peace and loue doe want all other things do seeme vnpleasing heart can desire yet if hee liue not peaceably at home in loue with his wife euen all the rest are but a burthen vnto him but the poore man hauing little and yet liuing frendly louingly and ioyfully with his wife hath his heart more full of content then the rich man hath of all his wealth Indeed as the old prouerbe sayth in loue is no lacke Where man wife agree all thinges prosper well 1. Sam. 6. for where loue is vnited in the feare of God in the harts of man and wife they will like yoake fellowes draw together the right way like the two Milch Kine which brought the Arke of God in the new cart from the land of the Philistims yea they will plow together sow together there is no doubt but through the blessing of him which gouerneth them they shall so doing receiue a plentifull haruest together Thus we haue found that the principall duty of the Husband vnto the Wife is loue and doe also finde that this duty is much neglected contemned euen despised of many as appeareth by the euills dayly arising betwixt man wife here before expressed which I confesse to bee to many yet there is one mayne defect in husbands which I may not ouer-passe because it is the greatest breach of loue that may bee which I will speake of in the Chapter following The Fourth Chapter THis duty of the Husband vnto the Wife being wholy included in the bonds of loue it stretcheth it selfe farther into many branches for we finde also by the word of God that the Husband must dwell with his wife according to knowledge so we see here that is not lawfull for the Husband to forsake his Wife but howseuer whether it be in weale or woe in riches or in pouerty yet he must abide dwell with her still onely Adultry No cause whatsoeuer should separate man and wife except Adultry separateth man and wife for this cause a man may forsake his wife and shee her husband but if the wife be not an Adultresse thou must not forsake her no not for any other cause I confesse the wise man saith giue me any plague but the plague of the tongue and it may bee thy wife hath this fault yet this is not a sufficient cause for to forsake her for our Saviour Christ telleth Mat. 19. vs it is not lawfull for a man to put away his wife except it be for whoredome yea hee doth vtterly forbid to separate whom God hath ioyned together and saith further that whosoeuer shall put away his wife except it bee for fornication causeth her to commit Adultery and whosoeuer Whosoeuer marrieth her that is diuorced doth commit Adultry shall marry her that is diuorced committeth Adultry But the firebrands of hell I meane the wicked and abominable Adulterers of our time neither respecting the word of God nor yeelding any obedience to his Commandements or fearing the iustice of his vengeance to come for their disobedience will notwithstanding like the swine possessed by the Deuill runne violently to their destructions But Saint Paull 1. Cor. 6. telleth them plainely that neither Fornicators Adulterers wantons An item for whoremongers and Adulterers nor such like shall inherite the kingdome of God whither they shall goe then I tremble to thinke of for these men not regarding these things will haue a wife here another there one in this Country and another in another country or if thy cannot range abroad to doe thus but must abide at home they will keepe a whore euen there and yet the poore wife must not know of it or if shee doe shee must not seeme to know it or dare to speake of it though shee bee neuer so much wronged by it nay this will not serue the beastly minds of some but they will haue a whore in this corner and another in another corner and bee continually seeking of whores and whorish places for all bread is sweet to a whoremonger saith the wise man hee will not leaue off till hee perish Eccle. 23. a man that breaketh wedlocke and thinketh thus in his heart who seeth me I am compassed about with darkenesse the walls couer mee no body seeth mee whom need I to feare the most high wil not remember my sins the same man sayth he shall bee punished in the streets of the citty and shall bee chased like a young horse foale and when he thinketh not vpon it hee shall be taken thus shall he be put to shame of euery man because he would not vnderstand the feare of the Lord. But what speake I of the wise mans words whē God himselfe saith Thou shalt not commit Adultry Exodus 20. and that thou shalt not couit thy neighbours Wife nor his maide nor his Daughter and yet his wife his maid nor daughter wil serue to satisfie the beastly minds of many men in this wicked age but wiues maides and all that they may any way allure to their wicked purposes they will thus abuse The Lord commanded there Deu. 23. should bee no whore-keepers among his people the Israelites but if all such should bee swept out of this kingdome I thinke a great part of our land would be vnpeopled for neuer was this sin of whoredome adultry at such a haight as at this day it is amongst vs amongst young men it is now counted but a tricke of youth among others of more yeares which should haue more grace it is called the sweet pleasing sin of Letchery Oh England England Sodom Gomorah committed not more sinne then thou dayly dost and these haue felt the heauy hand of God long since consuming them with fire and brimstone from heauen and thinkest thou Heb. 13. to escape no no the bed vndefiled is honourable but Whoremongers and Adulterers God will iudge Saint Iohn telleth such Reu. 21. plainely they shall haue their part in the lake that burneth with fire brimstone you will thinke I am too bold to bee thus sharpe with you but I say the tongues of men can neuer speake enough of this sinne for the Lord hath set himselfe against such and will be aswift witnesse against them for saith he They assemble themselues Mala. 3. by companies in the Harlots houses and rise vp in the morning like fed horses for euery man neigheth Iere. 5. after his neighbours wife and now marke what followes shall I not visit for these thinges sayth the Lord shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this Woe be to you Whoremongers Whoremongers Adulterers doe not onely draw vengeance on thē selues but also on the nations among whom they liue and Adulterers who not onely draw vengeance vpō your selues but even vpon the whole nation wherein you liue against whom the Lord maketh
