For your Marriages.

In Marriage you lay the foundation of your present woe, or weal; therefore here be not rash, go not alone, yet remember Paul, 1 Cor. 7. 2. First, study whether you have a calling to Marry, yea or no, and advise well of that. If none, forbear; if so, advise with friends, before your affections be engaged. In your choice, 1. Aim at Grace. 2. Good nature and edu∣cation; the best woman is not ever the best wife. 3. Good parts of understanding, Huswifery, &c. As for Portion, be it more or less, be upon certainties, and trust not words; and for Parentage, let not the di∣stance be too great, lest you despise, or be despised: However be sure that the person likes not your fancy, but your judgement.
