IMarrieo Compared with Single Life.
M irriage is a school nnd exercise of vir
tue ; niivl though marriage Iiath c.ires, yet
the single life liath desires which are more
troublesome, :ind more tluno-t-roiis, ami tiflen
cud in sin ; while the cares are but instan
ces of duty a:d exercises of piety ; anil
then-lore, il' single life hath more privacy of
devotion, yet marriage hath more necessities
and more variety of it, ami is an exercise of
more graces.
Marriage is the proper sceue of piety and
patience, of ibe duly of parents and the
charily of relation ; here kindness is spread
abroad, and love is united and made firm as
a centre; marriage is the nursery ot Heaven.
The virgin sends prayezs yo tlod, but she
eanies but one soul to him ; but the state of
marriage fills up the number of the elect,
and hath in it Ihe labor of love, and the tlel
ILvacies of friendship, and blessings ofsoeie-t-y,
and. the union ol Jinnds and hearts.
It halh in it less of beauty, but more of
salt ty Lhan the single life ; it Ii3lh more care,
UuL less danger; it is more merry and more
sad ; is fuller of sorrows and fuller of jov3 ;
"iA lies under more burdene, but is supported
by alA tjie strengths of love snd chirity, and
those burdens are delightful.
Marriage is the mother of the world, and
preserves kininloms, and fills cities, and
churches, and Heaven itself. Celibacy, like
the fly ia tlie heart of an apple, dwells in
perpetuaLsaveetness, but sits alone, and is
confined ud dies in perpetual singulari
ty; but maxrmge like the useful bee, builds
a house and gathers sweetness from every
Huwer, a ad. labors aixl unites into republics,
and sends ouk colonies, and feeds the world
with delicacies, and obeys their king and
keeps order, and exercises manv virtues,
and promotes the interest of mankind, and is
that state of good things of which God hath
ttesignea the present constitution
of the
world. Bishop Taylor.
