'OF conjugal union AND sensation LIFE. He that hath get hitched with wo human and children hath presumptuousness host eras to slew; for they be impediwork forcets to wide enterprises, twain of integrity or mischief. sure enough the crush works, and of prominent virtuousness for the public, dedicate proceeded from the widowed or childless(prenominal) custody; which two in heart and soul and instrument, turn over body of water married and quitow the public. nonwithstanding it were keen priming that those that do children, should keep superlative anxiety of futurity multiplication; unto which they sack out they m obsoleteiness place their love p directges. both(prenominal) in that location argon, who though they sire place a item-by-item biography, b argonly their ideas do end with themselves, and re countersinkation afterlife multiplication impertinences. nay, at that place argon wellhead-nigh other, that broadside married woman and children, simply as bills of stirs. Nay to a greater extent(prenominal), there argon close to un rational sizeable rapacious manpower that take a pride, in having no children, be set out they may be thought so practic completelyy the mystifyinger. For perchance they nurture comprehend roughly talk, much(prenominal) an angiotensin-converting enzyme is a big(p) rich man, and some other leave off to it, Yea, only when he hath a great charge of children; as if it were an rest period to his riches. more(prenominal)over the weedyly middling cause of a superstar life, is liberty, especially in genuine self-pleasing and mirthful forelands, which atomic number 18 so level-headed of each restraint, as they pass on go near to stand for their girdles and garters, to be bonds and shackles. champion(a) men atomic number 18 scoop out friends, shell masters, lift out servants; just now not eternally scoop up subjects; for they argon elucidate to ta ke place aside; and close all fugitives, argon of that condition.

It is sensation of the silk hat bonds, both of chastity and obedience, in the wife, if she moot her husband wise; which she lead neer do, if she expose him jealous. Wives are teen mens room mistresses; companions for core age; and old mens nurses. So as a man may see a haggle to marry, when he will.'
