Verſe 28. Thou hast not ſinned] If any man call lawfull marriage a ſinfull defilement, he hath the apoſtate Dragon dwelling in him,Epiſt. ad Philadelph. Act. and Mon. fol 790. ſaith Ignatius. And yet the Papiſts teach that it is a farre greater ſinne, for a Prieſt to have a wife, then to keep many harlots.

Such ſhall have trouble in the fleſh] Mark that he ſaith, In the fleſh, the delights of wedlock will be allaied with troubles, to avoid ſurfet. Before marriage people promiſe themſelves much happineſſe in that eſtate, and think they could live together with all delight: but after, they ſee they are deceived, and therefore need to go to ſchool to learn how to behave themſelves one toward another.

But I spare you] q. d. No more of that: and yet I'll ſhew you a way how you may ſcape, or at leaſt mitigate thoſe troubles in the fleſh.
