A44074 A treatise of marriage with a defence of the 32th article of religion of the Church of England : viz. bishops, priests and deacons are not commanded by God's law either to vow the state of single life, or to abstain from marriage : therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness. Hodges, Thomas, d. 1688. 1673 (1673) Wing H2324; ESTC R28670 53,897 120

and_o distract_v single_a than_o marry_v marry_v person_n and_o confident_a i_o be_o as_o one_o say_v that_o the_o patriarch_n do_v converse_v with_o many_o wife_n more_o chaste_o than_o many_o do_v now_o adays_o with_o one_o so_o that_o many_o live_v now_o more_o holy_o and_o chaste_o in_o wedlock_n than_o other_o in_o their_o cloister_n and_o cell_n and_o if_o when_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n

qualification_n of_o a_o husband_n or_o wife_n i_o will_v advise_v all_o to_o look_v at_o true_a religion_n in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o those_o that_o marry_v may_v be_v say_v to_o marry_v in_o the_o lord_n if_o i_o mistake_v not_o this_o be_v that_o king_n james_n advise_v prince_n henry_n unto_o v._o b.δ._n 2_o b.p._n 72._o etc._n etc._n when_o solomon_n marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o a_o strange_a god_n than_o he_o fall_v to_o tolerate_v if_o not_o to_o worship_v their_o idol_n next_o to_o religion_n i_o shall_v commend_v a_o suitable_a disposition_n and_o a_o conformity_n in_o manner_n that_o man_n and_o wife_n may_v delight_v in_o the_o society_n and_o converse_v one_o of_o another_o and_o as_o i_o will_v not_o have_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n marry_v mere_o o●_n chief_o by_o their_o eye_n or_o fancy_n so_o neither_o will_v i_o advise_v a_o marriage_n betwixt_o those_o that_o have_v a_o averseness_n or_o antipathy_n at_o first_o sight_n each_o to_o other_o i_o will_v have_v a_o natural_a free_a and_o unenforce_v affection_n before_o marriage_n when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o affection_n betwixt_o party_n than_o what_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o ratiocination_n or_o syllogism_n i_o will_v never_o persuade_v a_o marriage_n syllogistical_a love_n such_o as_o be_v raise_v thus_o every_o man_n must_v love_v his_o wife_n but_o this_o woman_n be_v my_o wife_n therefore_o i_o ought_v to_o love_v she_o and_o so_o on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o woman_n in_o reference_n to_o her_o husband_n every_o woman_n must_v love_v she_o own_o husband_n this_o man_n be_v my_o husband_n therefore_o i_o must_v love_v he_o i_o say_v this_o love_n go_v so_o far_o about_o that_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v long_o before_o it_o bring_v home_o affection_n nature_n be_v always_o at_o hand_n and_o natural_a affection_n be_v up_o at_o first_o view_n but_o reason_n religion_n and_o grace_n too_o be_v sometime_o to_o seek_v or_o hold_v off_o at_o distance_n by_o passion_n it_o be_v true_a notwithstanding_o that_o those_o that_o match_n mere_o by_o the_o eye_n many_o time_n meet_v with_o their_o match_n a_o eyesore_n or_o a_o very_a thorn_n in_o their_o eye_n and_o that_o beauty_n which_o be_v a_o loadstone_n to_o attract_v their_o love_n prove_v a_o snare_n to_o other_o and_o a_o torment_n to_o themselves_o whilst_o it_o draw_v other_o eye_n to_o the_o same_o object_n and_o occasion_n jealousy_n and_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o happen_v as_o oftentimes_o both_o do_v yet_o a_o disease_n a_o sickness_n or_o at_o least_o old_a age_n change_v the_o

advise_v you_o not_o to_o marry_v by_o the_o ear_n not_o for_o honour_n or_o great_a parentage_n and_o noble_a title_n for_o these_o without_o virtue_n and_o money_n be_v of_o small_a value_n a_o empty_a sound_n a_o tinkle_a cymbal_n yea_o more_o discord_n than_o harmony_n for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o such_o match_n and_o hence_o ordinary_o be_v the_o worst_a sort_n of_o marriage-musick_n
