In deed, Marriage, as also all other like outward things, of it self is neither good, 1nor il: but as it is used. S. Paul saith, If the Virgin marry, she finneth not. He that Marrieth out his Virgin, finneth not. Therefore Gregory Nazianzene saith, Neutrum horum,2 nec Matrimonium, nec Coelebs vita, prorsus aut Deo nos Mundóue conciliat: aut à Deo, aut à Mundo alienat: ut alterum natura sua omninò fugiendum sit, alterum absolutè laudandum. Antmus est, qui & Virginitati, & Nuptijs rectè imperat: Neither of these two, nor Matrimony, nor Single life, doth either join us to God, or to the World: or withdraw us from God, or from the world: that the One ought to be refused, and the other absolutely, and of it self ought to be praised. It is the Mind, that ruleth both Marriage, and Virginity.
