(as concerning this present sentence) because that commonly wo∣men are the more proude and arrogant, they are the more stout and obstinate in their wickednesse, and as it were enraged, insomuch that they wil not rest vpon reason, what warning soeuer one gi∣ueth them: & also because men are more attentiue to match them∣selues with riche women, which are come of a good house and kinred, then to inquyre of their womanhood and good manners, of their modestie and humilitie. This auarice or disordinate desire is marked by the wide house. For these causes I say Solomon setteth againe before vs this present sentence to reprooue men and women according as they deserue. And as the repetition is not superfluous, so it shal not bee vnprofitable to apply to this place present that which was saide in the 21. chap. 9. vers.
