A08179	A discourse, of marriage and vviuing and of the greatest mystery therein contained: how to choose a good wife from a bad.

Pertinent to both sexes, and conditions, as well those already gone before, as shortly to enter this honest society. By Alex. Niccholes, Batchelour in the art he neuer yet put in practise.	Niccholes, Alexander.	1615 (1615)	STC 18514; ESTC S113190	36,315	64
