The Second is this, That a good Wife is a great blessing of 1God, though she hath no portion; though a man serve for her, yet it is a great blessing of God, there is a more special mercy of God there than there is in giving men an Estate: he served long, and long, even for a Wife

Saith he, Certainly Jacob did not serve so long that he might have a Companion of his life, with whom there should be nothing but railing, scolding and wrangling; no, but he looked upon an estate of Marriage at the School of all Virtue, for so should a married estate indeed be.
