But by occasion that I said, that married couples should not be absent any 1long time one from the other; it is objected that many are, who through necessity of following their calling, cannot choose but be a long time one from another, as many Lawyers, Merchants, Sea men and other: and therefore how can that charge that is given by the Apostle to the Corinths 2stand? to wit, that there should be no long absence betwixt couples. I answer: because that charge is no better kept, therefore is much evil committed, 3I mean through long absence one from the other, and many complain how they smart by means thereof, and yet redress it not, nay say plainly, they see not how they can.
