A13823	The revvard of religion Deliuered in sundrie lectures vpon the booke of Ruth, wherein the godly may see their daily and outwarde tryals, with the presence of God to assist them, and his mercies to recompence them: verie profitable for this present time of dearth, wherein manye are most pittifully tormented with want; and also worthie to bee considered in this golden age of the preaching of the word, when some vomit vp the loathsomnes therof, and others fall away to damnable securitie.

word_n thus_o take_v a_o reason_n from_o their_o marriage_n she_o note_v the_o duty_n of_o young_a widow_n and_o woman_n which_o be_v to_o marry_v and_o to_o bear_v mo_z child_n and_o in_o herself_o

must_v join_v with_o it_o all_o christian_a obedience_n to_o the_o advice_n of_o their_o husband_n second_o they_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n in_o the_o fear_n and_o

she_o will_v only_o in_o the_o lord_n anna_n be_v commend_v more_o for_o her_o religion_n they_o her_o chastity_n and_o paul_n his_o counsel_n be_v to_o they_o that_o can_v forbear_v in_o those_o

they_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o old_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v her_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o it_o be_v simple_o unlawful_a for_o she_o to_o marry_v but_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o profit_v she_o in_o regard_n of_o child_n bear_v man_n desire_v young_a and_o fruitful_a woman_n not_o old_a and_o barren_a &_o her_o purpose_n be_v to_o persuade_v her_o daughter_n that_o she_o neither_o

nothing_o else_o i_o demand_v why_o poor_a woman_n have_v not_o this_o comfort_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rich_a i_o see_v seldom_o any_o poor_a widow_n marry_v but_o the_o wealthy_a so_o soon_o as_o either_o honesty_n or_o modesty_n will_v suffer_v they_o again_o comfort_n be_v no_o sufficient_a cause_n for_o marriage_n because_o it_o may_v be_v have_v without_o marriage_n but_o child_n can_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o marry_a folk_n with_o their_o mutual_a love_n to_o comfort_v one_o another_o but_o not_o a_o cause_n that_o ought_v to_o constrain_v to_o marriage_n the_o eunuch_n want_v

for_o they_o to_o tarry_v till_o they_o be_v grow_v up_o and_o fit_v for_o marriage_n yea_o than_o they_o will_v be_v past_a child_n also_o they_o shall_v lose_v the_o season_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o so_o shall_v reap_v no_o harvest_n of_o their_o day_n there_o will_v be_v no_o agreement_n in_o year_n between_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o wither_a stubbe_n and_o the_o young_a

this_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o mind_n of_o any_o against_o their_o parent_n but_o with_o the_o apostle_n i_o exhort_v and_o command_v that_o every_o one_o obey_v their_o parent_n in_o
