Honor, Thou Strong Idol Of Man's Mind.

When It Shall Please God To Bring Thee To Man's Estate, Use Great Providence And Circumspection In Choosing Thy Wife. For From Thence Will Spring All Thy Future Good Or Evil; And It Is An Action Of Life, Like Unto A Stratagem Of War; Wherein A Man Can Err But Once!

A Fair Woman Shall Not Only Command Without Authority But Persuade Without Speaking.

Often Extraordinary Excellence, Not Being Rightly Conceived, Does Rather Offend Than Please.

What Is Birth To A Man If It Shall Be A Stain To His Dead Ancestors To Have Left Such An Offspring?

Unlawful Desires Are Punished After The Effect Of Enjoying; But Impossible Desires Are Punished In The Desire Itself.
