Q. 88. What must they doe that are to Marry? and what say you more of the seventh commandement?

A. They must seek God extraordinarily, by prayer and meditation as Isaack did, Gen. 24. 63. and their parents must solomnely blesse them, or they that give them in Mariage they must so∣lemnely blesse them, and beseech the Lords bless∣ing upon them, verse. 60. The man must be care∣full that he Marry a godly daughter of Gods peo∣ple, Iudg. 14. 3. and so is the maid that she Marry in the Lord, 1. Cor. 7. 39. and when they do Mar∣ry, to Marry as if they Married not, ver. 29. and to beware of any disorders at the Marriage feast, as if Christ Iesus, were bodily there, Ioh. 2. 2. this 7th. Cōmandement forbids wanton company, Eph. 5. 7. al drunkenes & excesse, 1. Pet. 4. 3. idlenes, Ex••••. 16. 49. sleepines & loosenes of eyes, 2. Sam. 11. 23

and an impudent forehead, Ier. 3. 3. all kinds of light talking, 1 Tim. 5. 13. or gesture, Isa. 3. 16, 17. wanton Dances, Stage-playes, Pictures, hi∣stories, tales, or any filthy conversation, which may grieve a righteous Lot, 2 Pet. 2. 7. and lust∣full attyre, Prov. 9. 10. any strange fashions, or apparell, Zeph. 1. 8. Magistrates must not tole∣rate, or lightly, or ridiculously punish Whore∣dome, or Fornication; for that is as bad as tole∣rating, Deut. 23. 17. not forbid the remedy, as Mariage, 1 Tim. 4. 3.
