"As for your choose in Mariage, respect chiefly the three causes, wherefore Marriage was first ordained by God : and the ioyne three accessories, so far as they may be obtained, not derogating to the principalles."
"The three cases it was ordeined for, are, for staying out of lust, for procreation of children, and that man should by his wife get a helper like himselfe. Deferre not then to Marie till your age ; for it is ordained for quenching the lust of your youth. Especiallie a King must tymouslie any accessory cause or worldly respects, a woman vn-able, either through age, nature, or accident, for procreation of children : for in a king, that were a double fault aswell against his owne weale, as against the weal of his people. Neither also Marie one of knowne euill conditions, or vicious education : for the woman is ordeined to be a helper, and not a hinderer to man."
"The three acessories (which as I haue saide, ought also to be respected, without derogating to the principall causes) are beautie, riches, and friendship by alliance, which are all blessings of God. For beautie increaseth your loue to your Wife, contenting you the better with her, without caring for others : and riches and great alliance, doe both make her the abler to be a helper vnto you."
"Then (though too late) shall he finde the beautie without bountie, wealth without wisedome, and great friendship without grace and honestie ; are but faire shewes, and the deceatfull masques of infinite miseries."
"When yee are Maried, keep inviolablie your promise made to God in your Mariage..."
"And for your behauiour to your Wife, the Scripture can best giue you counsell therein. "
"Yee are the head, she is your bodie : it is your office to command, and hers to obey."
"And above all, let the measure of your love to everyone be according to the measure of his virtue . . ." (about scriptures)
