Now
if
we lay
our
felvcs
to thefe
duties
we come fhort
of
them,
our love will
feeke
Sermons for them when they are dead, but
never
teach them while
we have
them;
we often
are
not
pleated
in
our por-
tions, we are never
well, but
when farreenough from
them,
never
ill
but when
with them;
like
Nabals
toward them,
make them be coun-
table
to
a
farthing;
a
chafe for
the
kaft
trifle;
no whit
affected
with
their griefes.
We
fee
that this
fingular love muff
notbe
divided
to many,
but
af-
forded
to
our
one onely wife, r
Cor.7.
a.
Let every
one have his
owne
wife
;
for thefe phrafes
in
Paal,
and
that
in
the 19.
of
Mat.
and
in
the

Mal.
do interpret
Mafia, and thew
that God
did knit
in this
bond
one man
to
one
woman,
and it cannot
be other
,
for
this love
doth
tranflate
a man
into the power
of
a
woman, that he hath
no
power to
give himfelfe
further,
nor the no
power to
authorife
it in
him
,
he
that
loveth once can
love nomore at once,
and
the proverb
is
true,and
this
is
ir,
Prov.6.
If
the
heate
of
love vexe thee, quench it with water, but
out
ofthy
owne fountaine,
running waters.
Where
there
are
two
ar-
guments.
r.
From the wholefomeneffe.
2.
From the proprietie.
For
it
is
better to drinke
of
a
cleare running water
then
a
muddy
puddle, fo better quench
thy
love with
thy
owne
wife,
who
is
a fan
-
etified
fountaine, then with
a
queane
that
is a
ftanding troubled wa-
ter;
yea
a
filthy puddle
:
Againe,
who would not rather
have
whol
force
waterwithin their
houfe
then goe to the common
river,
where
we know not
what
rags was
waffled
t fuch
is a
wife
,
the
is
thy
proper
fountaine.
This
therefore
as
it doth teach
us
our
duty,
fo
it doth
convince
them
