when you commend the Virgin for her beauty and vertue and all other endowments you shall then adde That she will never endure him if once she but understand him to be an idle person Hereupon as touch'd in his highest concernments he wi●l put forth his utmost diligence For if that Holy Man being deceived of his Wife so loved her as ye● to serve seven years more for her nay fourteene years how much more should we Tell him That all that belong to the Virgin the Father the Mother Servants all the Neighbours and Friends are strict obs●rvers of his behaviour and actions and all will relate it to his Virgin With this obligation bind him 't will prove an ●ffectual preservative to the Child So that in case it should not be so convenient to give him a Wife very you●g let him yet be espou●●d to one at least from the the first this will make him strive to e●cel in Goodness ●his alone is sufficient to ba●ish all Vice There is likewise another excellent guard to Chastity That he perpet●ally frequent the Bishop of the Church an● from him receive many encouragements and of this let his Father glory to all that hear it Let the Virgins seeing him look on him with a reverend esteem Besides the discourses and the awe of his Father the promises which are made and with these the rewards reposited for him of God with all those benefits which the Chast shall be made partakers of will extreamly hinder and repre●s all lubricity in this kind To this you may add the the gallant atchievements in War and in Pe●ce and to these things studiously direct your discourse continually declaiming against Vice and Luxury and bringing it into contempt It will much conduce to the repute of Chastity and all these particulars wonderfully restrain the mind of the young Man and produce in us most chast cogitations There is one more yet remaining let us therefore now proceed to that which is the chief of all and which keeps all entire and what is that Namely Prudence Here must be infinite care used that he be discreet and that he abandon and banish all folly and this is a special and grand point of Philosophy that he comprehend those things which are Divine and what there is laid up for the future Of Hell and the things which concern the Kingdome of Heaven ●ince the beginning of Wisdome is the ●ear of the Lord Let us therefore establish point of Prudence in him That he be also intelligent in humane affairs what Riches are what Glory what Power to the end he m●y learn how to contemn them and set his affections upo● things which are of highest concernment Let us ofte● remember him of the good Instructions which have been given him and say Son Fear God alone besides him fea● none other And thus he will ●merge a prudent and a gracious person There i● nothing in the world that renders a Man more a Fool then t●ese Vices the Fear of God is alone sufficient 〈…〉 Wise and to have such a Judgement in secular and humane affairs as is necessary This this is the very sum and top of all Wisdome That he be not taken up with impertinent and childish vanities Teach him therefore that Riches avai● nothing worldly Glory nothing Power nothing nothing Death nothing this present Life Thus he shall indeed become a Wise Man And if educated in this manner we conduct him to his Nuptials consider how noble a portion thou bringest to his Bride But let us now celebrate the Marriage not with Pipes and Harps and Dancing with these kind of things to disgrace the Bridegroom thus educated it is highly incongruous Let us rather invite Christ thither such a Bridegroom is worthy of him let us bid his Disciples These things well become him And now let him henceforth thus learn to instruct his own children and so educate them and they theirs and thus it will become a Golden Chain indeed Let us also promote him to Offices in the Common-wealth such as he hath abilities to undergo and such as do not minister ●o Vice Or whether it be any charge in the Army let him learn to gain nothing sordidly Or whether he patronize the Cause of those which are wronged or what ever else he undertakes That his Mother learn likewise to instruct and di●●●pline her Daughter after the same manner and to ●vert their thoughts from superfluous Attires and Fashions from the World and from whatsoever else are the proper marks of lewd Women and Strumpets Let him manage all things by this Rule and wean 〈◊〉 well the Youth as the Maid from pleasure and ●briety For even this also will be of great effect towards Chastity there being nothing which doth more molest and trouble young Men then Concupis●ence nothing more young Women then haughtiness and lux of Apparel Thus ●herefore let us order and compo●e all these thi●gs that so we may please Almighty God w●●●est we bring him up such Champions and that we ●nd our Children may 〈…〉 promises which he hath made to them that lo●e him and all this through ●h● Grace and Benig●●● of our Lord Jesus Christ to whom with the Father and the Holy-Spirit be Gl●●y and Honour now and ever and 〈◊〉 Eternal Ages 〈◊〉 FINIS De Legib.
