Who now, not onely in Temporal matters,
But also in Spiritual looks to our waters;
And Parson and Vicar have nothing to do,
When Iustice has making of Marriager too:
The name of Iustice was dreadful before,
But now 'twill be a hundred times more;
When we must expect no manner of favour,
But all stand bound to our good behaviour:
Our Mittimus now by Iustice is made,
And we in sayl of Wedlock are laid,
When instead of bonds, we are bound in a halter,
And sure to be hang'd if ever we falter.
So every thing does fall out right,
And that old proverb is verified by't;
That Marriage and Hanging both go together,
When Iustice shall haue the ordering of either.
