Holy Marriage, I say, First, for that it is a holy remedy, instituted of God for such as otherwise cannot contain to keep their Vessel in honesty and honour, it being ^hbetter to marry then to burn: wherefore for ⁱavoiding of fornication, let every man have his Wife, and every woman her husband, saith the Apostle.
