This he could do excellently, and ſo could Luther, as having had experience, and been much beaten and exerciſed with ſpirituall conflicts. Conſcience is a diamond, and will be wrought on by nothing but duſt of diamond, ſuch as contrition hath ground it to.
It is good for a man] Now ſince the fall, it is good, i. e. convenient for the many troubles of the married eſtate. It is not evil to marry, but good to be wary, elſe conjugium may prove conjurgium, marriage a mar-age.
