How is the coupling in mariage called in the Scriptures?
1. Coniugium, wedlocke, of that common yoake wherewith the man and wife are ioyned into one flesh, and as it were into one man.
2. Matrimonium, mariage, of the end: for a woman is married vnto a man to this end, that she may be a mother of children, and mariage is as it were Matriage of a mother.
3. Connubium, couering, and in the plurall number nuptiae à nu∣bendo, that is, of couering: for as the heauen is sometimes couered ouer with clouds: so were virgins in old time coueredn with a veile, when they were brought vnto their husbands: and that both to te∣stifie their bashfulnesse and modestie, and also their subiection and obedience, or anothers power ouer them. As the example of Re∣becca testifieth, who when she saw her husband Isaac, she couered her selfe with a veileo. Like vnto which, is that spreading abroad of the garment in Ruth 3.9. and Isa. 4.1.
