1 The friendly caresses and loving entertainment of the bridegroom receiving his spouse, that is to say his Church, which was for a time in some sort strayed from him. 2 We must make a distinction between the fiansailes, the spowsailes, and full consummation of this spiritual marriage. 3 The borders of jewels and chains of this spouse serve little for defence & patronage of women's excess & dissolution in apparel, defiling thereby the christian church, with answer to the contrary objections. 4 The rule and measure which ought to be observed in the cost and bravery of apparel. 5 Application of this doctrine to the Church of Geneva and others, aswell to men as to women. 6 What the borders of stones & other jewels are, which are given to this spouse, by her Bridegroom. 7 A complaint both touching the defect as also the abuse of these nuptial ornaments which God hath at this day bestowed upon his Church. 8 In what sense express mention is made of the cheeks & of the neck of the spouse. 9 The spouse doth yet look for more precious jewels in the day of the full consummation of this marriage. 10 Wherefore the Bridegroom speaketh of himself in the plural number.
