We read in holy scripture that the holy Patriarch Abraham, mourned for his wise Sarah. So like wise did Joseph, for his father Jacob: therefore to weep charitably and measurably is not ill, but good, and allowed in gods word. So likewise in the new testament wham that holy man S. Stephen was stoned to death, the tert saith that the church, fecerunt planctum magnum, they made a great lamentation & weeping over him. Here I might have occasion to speak against those women which so soon […] their husbands that be departed, which thing I can not very well1 allow: for it is a token of an unperfect love. It was a law among the Romans, that no woman should marry again before twelve months were expired, which no doubt was an honest law: but to avoid […] let the christian […] man use her liberty.
