If thou be learned, choose one that loveth knowledge; if thou be martial, choose one that loveth prows; if thou must live by thy labour, choose one that loveth husbandry: for unless her mind stand with thy vocation, thou shalt ⟨p. 22⟩neither enjoy thy wife nor thy calling.
If thou bee learned, chuse one that loueth knowledge; if thou be martial, chuse one that loueth prowes; if thou must liue by thy labor, chuse one that loueth husbandrie: for vnlesse her mind stand with thy vocation, thou shalt ⟨p. 22⟩neither enioy thy wife nor thy calling.
That other word in 2. Cor. 6. 14. is Yoke, there Marriage is called a Yoke. Paul saith; Be not unequally yoked. If marriage be a yoke, then they which draw in it must be fit, like two oxen which draw the yoke together, or else all the burden will lie upon one. Therefore they are called yokefellows too, to show that they which draw this yoke must be fellows.1 As he which soweth seed chooseth a fit ground, because they say, it is good grafting upon a good stock, so he which will have godly children, must choose a godly wife, for like mother (saith Ezekiel) like daughter.2 Now as the traveller hath marks in his way, that he may proceed aright: so the suitor hath marks in his way that he may choose right.
That other word in 2. Cor. 6. 14. is Yoke, there Mariage is called a Yoke. Paul sayth; Be not vnequally yoked. If mariage be a yoke, then they which draw in it must be fit, like two oxen which draw the yoke together, or else all the burthen will lie vpon one. Therefore they are called yokefellows too, to shew that they which draw this yoke must be fellowes.
