1 Corinthians7:34
Verſe 34. Careth for the things] Expeditiùs vacat.
Holy both in body and spirit] For contemplative wickednes, and mentall uncleanneſſe alſo greatly diſpleaſeth God.In declam. Inceſta eſt, & ſine ſtupro, quae ſtuprum cupit, ſaith Seneca, And, Quae quia non licuit non facit, illa facit, ſaith Ovid. The very deſire to do evil, is to do evil. The Romans puniſhed one of their veſtall virgins for uttering this verſe only,
Foelices nuptae! moriar ni nubere dulce eſt.
Oh! 'tis a brave thing to be married.
How ſhe may pleaſe her busband] As Sarah did Abraham, calling him Lord, as Rebecca did Iſaac, by providing him the meat that he loved, as Livia did Auguſtus, by obſerving his diſpoſition, and drawing evenly with him, being a piece ſo juſt cut for him, as anſwered him rightly in every joynt.
