We gather also hereby, that it is lawful to go about a wife by just ways and means, as we see Othoniel now to have done: and as also holy David did,1 who did not only kill Goliath the giant, but also he gave Saul an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, for the obtaining of Michol to wife. We are hereby taught also, that wise parents ought to seek them a son in law, not by riches not by power or nobility, but by virtue. Now of days they do not so,2 and therefore the miserable daughters are very often times betrayed by their parents, and very many marriages have unhappy success. Wherefore I can not discommend ⟨image 30⟩the saying of Themistocles, 3who being demanded why he had preferred a poor man to be his son in law before a rich and wealthy man, he answered: that he had rather have a son in law which wanted money, than to have money wanting a man.
We gather also hereby, that it is lawfull to go about a wife by iust wayes and meanes, as we se Othoniel now to haue done: and as also holy Dauid did,1 who did not only kill Goliah the giaūt, but also he gaue Saule an hundreth forekynnes of the Philistianes, for the obteyning of Michol to wife. We are hereby taught also, that wise parentes ought to seke them a sonne in law, not by riches not by power or nobilitie, but by vertue. Now of days they do not so,2 and therfore the miserable daughters are very often tymes betrayed by their parentes, and very many mariages haue vnhappy successe. Wherfore I can not discommend ⟨image 30⟩the sayeng of Themistocles, 3who being demaunded why he had preferred a poore man to be his sonne in law before a riche and wealthy man, he aunswered: that he had rather haue a sonne in law whiche wanted money, thā to haue money wanting a man.
