For Mari age is ordained a Remedy for nonlawftill Qoncupifceme ; 
And Naturali Concupifence feemetb as a (purr to Marriage. But 
when Men haue at hand a Remedy, more agreeable to their cor 
rupt will, Marriage-is almoft expuljed. And therefore there are 
with you feene mfinit Men , that marry not, but chufe rather a 
libertine and impure Jingle Life , than to beeyoaked in Marriage- 
And many that doe marry, marry late, when the Prime and 
Strength of their Teares is paft. And when they doe marry 3 what 
is Marriage to them, but a <very Bargaine \ W her in is Jought 
Aiiance , or Portion, or Reputation, withjome defire (almoft in¬ 
different ) of Iffue ; And not the faitbfull Nuptiall Vnion of Man 
and Wife, that was firft inftituted, Neither is it poftible, that 
tbofe that haue caft away fo bafely, fo much of their Strength, 
/hould greatly efteeme Children, (being of the fame Matter,) as 
Chafte Men dele. So hkemfe during Marriage is the Cafe much 
amended , as it ought to bee if thofe things Were tolerated onely 
for neceftitie ; No, but they remaine ftill as a 'very Affront to 
Marriage. The Haunting of thoje diffolute places, or re fort to 
Cur titans, are no more punifhed in Married Men, than in Bat- 
chellers , And the depraued Cuftome of change, and the Delight in 
Meretricious Embracements, (where finne is turned into Artj) 
maketh Marriage a dull thing, and a kindeof Impofition , or Taxe.

For that the fame Vices and Appetites , doe ftill remaine and a -

the Flames altogether , it will quench \ But if you giue it 
any <vent, it will rage, As for Mafculine Loue , they haue no
