A08179 A discourse, of marriage and vviuing and of the greatest mystery therein contained: how to choose a good wife from a bad. An argument of the dearest vse, but the deepest cunning that man may erre in: which is, to cut by a thrid betweene the greatest good or euill in the world.

Niccholes, Alexander. 1615 (1615) STC 18514; ESTC S113190 36,315 64
