with such Mean Sordid Base and Ignoble Actions I shall leave to the Candor and Judgment of any Impartial and Unprejudiced Man whatsoever I shall conclude all with a few words of Friendly Advice First for Old Persons who are on the other side Sixty I would advise them not to marry at all but rather employ themselves on the thoughts of the other World for they know they can have but a short time to stay in this and in instructing and doing good to others and this will be the only sure way to get true Honour and satisfaction But if they must trouble themselves with the thoughts of Matrimony which upon some accounts may be reasonable enough too let them pitch upon some Grave and Pious Matron sutable to their Years and Fortunes by which means they may prove mutual Helps and great Comforts to each other and not set their minds upon young Wild Creatures who will be to hard for them every way cause them to be made common Laughing-stocks to the enquiring World plague and disturb all their Quiet and Ease and help to send them to their Graves long before their times Next for Children since they have not a Power of disposing of themselves as they think fit and since such sad and deplorable Effects do often follow from their making use of such a Power let them not dare to venture upon this Sacred Order of Matrimony without their Parents consent but let them have a strict and more than ordinary care to avoid all Temptations till they have leave as they would a most deadly Precipice But for the Young Persons that have a larger power of disposing of themselves 't will be the highest piece of Folly to marry one that is much beneath them except there be some extraordinary Excellencies besides Beauty for he can never be sure of her Love the very Life and Soul of all their Hopes and Comports Neither would I have any Persons aim at those that are much above their Rank a Paradox indeen to a great many People for then the mind is often so horridly corrupted with base and ungenerous Desires that the danger and ill consequences are much the other way Lastly For Parents and the like let them seriously consider the great Account they must give at the last day for many of their Childrens Failings especially those woful Misfortunes they have brought upon them by their own means and with the heynous sins of Perjury and Treachery therefore let them dread the very thoughts of all such Vnhappy Matches For this reason let them not be extraordinary ambitious of marrying their Children above their Fortunes but however they ought to take care to have them marryed in time least they prove Dishonest Stubborn and Irreclaimable On the other side let them not disdain to marry them below their Rank nor stand too much upon Smithfield Bargains when they have a Competency themselves and they find a Sober Vertuous Person whose Education Ingenuity and other good Properties will make amends for Mony and all other inconsiderable Trifles Before I quite conclude all I must advise every Person whatsoever let 'em be Young or Old Parents or Children to have a peculiar care of Marrying to any of different Religions for notwithstanding there be Content on all sides Love Mony Good Inclinations c. this one thing is enough to ruine all destroy all their Pleasures and may make it the dearest piece of Folly to 'em they ever were guilty of in their Lives FINIS Books newly Printed for and sold by Tho.
