IN the first place S. Chrysostom requireth, that in chusing of a Wife, Men. should have greater regard to Vertue than Riches. He lays down this Maxim in the 74th. Homily upon S. Mat∣thew; there he pleasantly shews how much rich Wives prove troublesome to their Husbands. He says the same thing in the 48th. and 56th. Homilies upon Genesis, in the 49th. upon the Acts, in the 12th. upon the Epistle to the Colossians, and in the 17th. 19th. and 28th. Sermons of the 5th. Volume. He exhorteth Husbands to live well with their Wives, and shew them good Ex∣amples. In the 38th. Homily upon Genesis, in the Exposition of the 43d. Psalm; in the 30th. Homily upon S. Matthew, and the 20th. upon the Epistle to the Ephesians; in the 10th. upon the Epistle to the Colossians, he treateth at large of the Love which Husbands ought to have for their Wives, and of the respect that Wives ought to shew towards their Husbands. He discourses upon the same Subject in the 26th. Homily upon 1 Cor. and the 60th. upon S. John.
