She has an e'e, she has but ane, The cat has twa the very colour; Five rusty teeth, forbye a stump, A clapper tongue wad deave a miller; A whiskin beard about her mou, Her nose and chin they threaten ither; Sic a wife, &c.

THE RANTIN DOG THE DADDIE O'T O wha my babbie clouts will buy? Wha will tent me when I cry ? Wha will kiss me whar I lie? The rantin dog the daddie o't.— Wha will own he did the faut?

The rantin dog the daddie o't.— �6 NOTHING LIKE GROG/ A plague on those musty old lubbers Who tell us to fast and to think, And patiently bear with life's rubbers, With nothing but water to drink; A can of good stuff Had they swigg'd it, Would soon ay have set them agog; In spite of the rules Of the schools, The old fools Would have constantly swigg'd it, And sworn there was nothing like grog My Father, when last I from Guinea Return'd with abundance of wealth, Cry'd, Jack, never be such a ninny Astfbdrink; says I, Father your health; So I tipp'd him the stuff and he twigg'd it, And it soon set th' old codger agog; So he swigg'd, and mother, And sister and brother, And all of us swigg'd it, And we swore there was nothing like grog. �7 T'other day when the chaplain was preaching, Behind him I curiously slunk, And while he us our duty was teaching As how we should never get drunk, I tipp'd him a can and he twigg'd it, And it soon set his rev'rence agog; So he swigg'd and Dick swigg'd, And Ben swigg'd and I swigg'd, And all of us swigg'd it, And we swore there was nothing like grog. Then trust me there's nothing like drinking, So pleasant on this side the grave, I t keeps the unhappy from thinking, And makes e'en more valiant the brave As for me, since the moment I swigg'd it, The good stuff has so set me agog, That sick or well, late or early, Wind foully or fairly, I've constantly swigg'd it, And dem'me there's nothing like grog. �T H EREDREDROSE.

THE MINSTREL. Oh! Nannie, wilt thou gang wi' me. Here awa, there awa NAEBODY. PRITNED E D THEB U R G H : FOR I N BOOKSELLERS, �BONNY BARBARA ALLAN. I t was in and about the Martinmas time When the green leaves were a-falling, That Sir John Graeme in the west counTry Fell in iove with Barbara Allan. H e sent his man down thro' the toWn, To the place where she was dwelling, O haste and come to my master dear, Gin ye be Barbara Allan. O hooly hooly rose she up, To the place where he was lying, And when she drew the curtain by, Young man, I think ye're dying. O its I'm sick, and very very sick, And 'tis a' for Barbara Allan, O the better for me ye'se never be, Tho' your heart's blood were a-spilling O dinna ye mind, young man, said she, When ye was in the tavern a drinking, �That ye made the healths gae round and round, And slighted Barbara Allan. He tufft'd his face unto the wall, And death was with him dealing, Adieu, adieu, my dear friends all, And be kind to Barbara Allan. And slowly slowly raise she up, And slowly slowly left him; And sighing, said, she could na stay, Since death of life had reft him. She had not gane a mile but twa, When she heard the dead bell ringing And ev'ry jow that the dead-bell gied, It cry'd, Woe to Barbara Allan. O mother, mother, mak my bed, O mak it saft and narrow, Since my love died for me to-day, I'll die for him to-morrow. �4 THE MINSTREL. Keen blaws the wind o'er DonnochtHead, The snaw drives snellie thro' the dale; The Gaberlunzie tirls my sneck, And, shivering, tells his waefu' tale. Cauld is the night, O let me in, And dinna let your minstrel fa'; And dinna let his winding sheet Be naething but a wreath o' snaw. Full ninety winters hae I seen, (flew; And pip'd whar gor-cocks whirring And mony a day ye've danc'd I ween, To lilts which from my drone I blew. My Eppie wak'd, and soon she cried, Get up, gudeman, and let him in; For weel ye ken the winter nights Seem'd short when he began his din. My Eppie's voice, O wow it's sweet, E'en tho' she bans and scaulds a wee; But when it's tun'd to sorrow's tale, O, haith, it's doubly dear to me. �5 Come in, a u l d carle, I'll steer my fire, I'll mak it bleeze a bonnie flame, Your bluid is thin, ye've tint the gate, Ye should na stray sae far frae hame. Nae hame hae I, the minstrel said, Sad party-strife o'erturn'd my ha'; And, weeping, at the eve of life, I wander thro' a wreath o' snaw. FAIREST OF T H E FAIR. O Nannie, wilt thou gang wi' me, Nor sigh to leave the flaunting town; Can silent glens have charms for thee, T h e lowly cot, and russet gown? Nae ianger drest iri silken sheen, Nae langer deck'd wi' jewels rare, Say, canst thou quit each courtly scene, Where thou wast fairest of the fair? O Nannie, when thou'rt far awa, Wilt thou not cast a look behind? Say, canst thou face the flaky snaw, Nor shrink before the warping wind ? O can that saft and gentlest mien, Severest haidships learn to bear, �6 Nor sad regret each courtly scene, Where thou wast fairest of the fair? O Nannie, canst thou love so true, Throl perils keen wi' me to gae? Or when thy swain mishap shall rue, To share with him the pang of wae. And when invading pains befal, Wilt thou assume the nurse's care, Nor wishful those gay scenes recal, Where thou wast fairest of the fair? And when at last thy love shall die, Wilt thou receive his parting breath? Wilt thou repress each struggling sigh, And cheer with smiles the bed of death? And wilt thou o'er his much-lov'd clay, Strew flow'rs, and drop the tender tear? Nor then regret those scenes so gay, Where thou wast fairest of the fair? NAEBODY. I'll partake wi' naebody; I'll tak cuckold frae nane, I'll gie cuckold to naebody. I �7 I hae a penny to spend, There—thanks to naebody I hae naething to lend, I'll borrow frae naebody. I am naebody's lord, I'll be slave to naebody; I hae a guid braid sword, I'll tak dunts frae naebody. I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for naebody; If naebody care for me, I'll care for naebody. WANDERING WILLIE. Here awa, there awa, wandering Willie, Here awa, there awa, haud awa hame; Come to my bosom, my ain only dearie, Tell me thou bring'st me my Willie the same. Winter winds blew loud and cauld at our parting, [ee; Fears for my Willie brought tears in my Welcome now simmer, and welcome my Willie, The sharper to nature, my Willie to me. �8 Rest, ye wild storms, in the cave of your slumbers, How your dread howling a lover alarms! Wnuken ye breezes, row gently ye billows, [my arms. And waft my, dear laddie ance mair to But oh, if he's faithless, and mind na his Nannie, (main; Flow still between us, thou wide-roaring May I never see it, may I never trow it, But, dying, believe that my Willie's my ain. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/68d60aafa7e4a94a39c4b79e8b512a75.jpg 93b4183fc3def85865e4d19f3a971bfd Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

And Mary's locks are like a craw, Her een like diamonds glances; She's ay sae clean, redd up, and braw, She kills whene'er she dances; Blyth as a kid, with wit at will, She blooming, tight, and tall is, �3 And guides her airs sae gracefu' still, O Jove, she's like thy pallas.

" Bachelors of every station, Mark this strange and t r u e relation, Which in brief to you I b r i n g . N e v e r was a stranger thing. Yon shall find it worth t h e hearings L o y a l love is most endearing, W h e n it takes the deepest r o o t , Yielding charms and gold to boot. S o m e will wed for love of treasure ; But the sweetest joy and pleasure Is in faithful love you'll find, G r a c e d with a noble mind. Such a noble disposition, H a d this lady, with submission, Of whom I this sonnet write, Store of wealth and beauty bright. She had left by a good g r a n n u m , Full five thousand pounds per annum, Which she held without c o n t r o l l ; T h u s she did in riches roll. T h o ' she had vast store of riches, Which some persons m u c h bewitches, Yet she bore a courteous mind, N o t the least t o pride inclin'd. M a n y noble persons c o u r t e d This young lady, 'tis reported, �8 But their labour prov'd in vain, T h e y could not her favour g a i n . T h o ' she made such t r u e resistance, Yet by C u p i d ' s t r u e assistance, She was conquered a f t e r all, How it was declare I snall. Being at a noble wedding, N e a r the famous town of R e d d i n g , A young gentleman s h e saw, W h o belonged to the l a w . As she view'd His sweet behaviour, E v e r y courteous carriage gave h e r New additions to her g r i e f ; Forc'd she was to seek relief. Privately she then e n q u i r ' d , A b o u t him so m u c h admir'd, Both his name and where h e dwelt, S u c h was t h e hot flames she felt. T h e n a t n i g h t this y o u t h f u l lady, Call'd her coach, which being r e a d y , H o m e w a r d straight she did r e t u r n , But her h e a r t i n flames did b u r n . P A R T II. Night a n d m o r n i n g for a season, in her closet would she reason With herself, and often said, W h y has love my h e a r t b e t r a y ' d ? I that h a v e So many slighted, Am at length so well r e q u i t e d , For my griefs are not a few Now I find what lovecando. ! �4 H e that has my h e a r t in keeping, T h o ' I for his sake be w e e p i n g ; L i t t l e knows what grief I feel, But I'll try it out with steel. For I will a challenge send him, And appoint where I'll attend him ; I n a grove w i t h o u t delay, By the dawning of the day. H e shall not t h e least discover, T h a t I am a virgin lover. By the challenge, which I send ; But for justice I c o n t e n d . H e has caused sad distraction, And I come for satisfaction, Which if he denies to give, O n e of us shall cease to live. Having thus her mind reveal'd, She her letter closed and sealed : Now when it c a m e to his hand, T h e y o u n g man was at a stand. In her letter she c o n j u r ' d him, For to meet, and well a s s u r d him, R e c o m p e n c e he m u s t afford, Or dispute it with t h e sword. Having read the strange relation, H e was in a c o n s t e r n a t i o n ; T h e n advising with his friend, H e persuades him to attend. Be of courage and make ready, Faint h e a r t never won fair lady, In regard it must b e so, I along with you will go. �5 P A R T III. Early on a summer's morning, When bright Phoebus was adorning Every bower with his beams, The fair lady came it seems. At the bottom of the mountain, Near a pleasant crystal fountain ; T h e r e she left her gilded coach, While, the grove she did approach, Covered with her mask and walking. T h e r e she met her lover talking With a friend that he had b r o u g h t ; Straight she ask'd him, who she sought. I am challenged by a gallant, Who resolves to try my t a l e n t ; Who he is I cannot say, But I hope to shew him play. It is that I did invite you, You shall wed me or I'll fight you, Underneath those spreading t r e e s ; Therefore choose you which you please. You shall find I do n o t vapour, I have brought mv trusty rapier, Therefore take your choice says she, Either fight or marry me. Said he, madam, pray what mean you? In my life I never saw you ; Pray unmask, your visage ahow, Then I'll tell you Aye or No. I will not my face uncover, Till the marriage ties are over, �6 Therefore choose you which you will, Wed me, sir, or try your skill. Step within that pleasant bower, With your friend one single hour, Strive your thoughts to reconcile, And I will wander here the while. While this charming lady waited, T h e young bachelors debated, What was best for to be done ; Quoth his friend, the hazard run. If my j u d g m e n t may be trusted, Wed her first, you can't be worsted, If she's rich, you'll rise to fame, If she's poor, why you're the same. H e consented to be married, In her coach they all were carried, T o a church without delay, W h e r e he weds t h e lady gay. T h e sweet pretty Cupids hover'd, Round her eyes, her face was cover'd With a mask, he took her thus, J u s t for better or for worse. With a courteous kind behatiour, She presents his friend a favour, A n d withal dismiss'd him straight, T h a t he might no longer wait. P A R T IV. As the, gilded coach stood ready, T h e young loVer arid his lady, Rode together till they came T o her house of state and fame. �7 Which appeared like a castle, Where he might behold a parcel Of young ceders tall a n d straight, Just before her palace gate. Hand in hand they walked together, To a hall or parlour rather, Which was beautiful and fair, All alone she left him there. T w o long hours there he waited, Her return at length he fretted, And began to grieve at last, For he had not broke his fast. Still he sat like one amazed, Round a spacious room he gazed, Which was richly beautify'd ; But, alas ! he lost his bride. There was peeping, laughing, sneering, All within the lawyer's hearing : But his bride he could not s e e ; Would I was at home thought he. While his heart was melancholy, Said the Stewart brisk and jolly, Tell me friend, how came you here ? You have some design I fear. He reply'd dear loving master, You shall meet with no disaster, Through my means in any case, Madam brought m e to this place. Then the Steward did retire, Saying that he would enquire, Whether it was true or no ; Never was lovehamperedso. �8 Now the lady who had fill'd him With those fears, lull well beheld him From a window, where she drest, Pleased at the pleasant jest. When she had herself attired, In rich robes to be admired, She appeared in his sight, Like a moving angel bright. Sir, my servants have related, How you have some hours waited In my parlour, tell me who In my house you, ever k r e w . Madam if I have offended, It is more than I intended ; A young lady b r o u g h t me here, T h a t is true said she my dear. I can be no longer cruel T o my joy and only jewel, T h o u art mine and I am thine, H a n d aud heart I do resign. O n c e I was a wounded lover, Now those fears are clearly over ; By receiving what I gave, T h o u art lord of what I have. Beauty, honour, love and treasure, A rich golden stream of pleasure, W i t h his lady he enjoys ; T h a n k s to Cupid's kind decoys. Now he's cloth'd in rich attire, Not inferior to a squire, Beauty, honour, riches, store, W h a t can man desire more.

The Beds of Roses. FALKIRK PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS. �A L L A N T I N E O' HARROW. I am a darling highwayman, My name is Tine O' Harrow, I'm come of poor but honest folks Nigh to the hills of Yarrow. For getting of a maid with child, For England I sail'd over. Leaving ray parents almost wild, Since I became a Rover; Then straight to London I did go Where I became a soldier. Resolved to fight Britannia's foes, Great Hector ne'er was bolder. They sent me to a foreign court, Where cannons loud did rattle, Believe me boys, I do not boast, How I behaved in battle. For many's the battle I've been in, In Holland and French Flanders I always fought with a courage keen, Led on by braye commanders. �8 I always fought with a courage keen, And aye was valiant hearted, On account of the usage that I got, Alas ! I soon deserted Then straight for England I set sail, As fast as wind could heave me, Resolv'd that of my liberty, There should no man deprive me. • I slept into the fields all night, For fear of being detected, I could not walk the road by day, Lest I should be suspected. I being of a courage keen, and likewise able bodied, To stand the road was my intent, with my pistols heavy loaded. To rob upon the king's highway, was my determination, And for a robbery I was bent, No other hesitation. The very first man that ever I robb'd He was a Lord of honour. I All in a roguish manner own this man I did assault, �4 Says I, my Lord, your gold I want, Make no delay, but give it, For if you don't 'tis my intent, By powder and ball to have it. I clapt my pistol to his breast, Which made him for to shiver, Five hundred pounds in ready gold To me he did deliver. His gold, repeating watch likewise. To me he did surrender. I thought it a most gallant prize, When he this gold did tender. With part of this said money I got, I bought a famous gelding, That over a five bar gate could jump, I bought him from Mr Fielding. When I was mounted on my steed, I looked most bold and daring, Then to the road I set with speed, No man I now was fearing. That night I robb'd lord Arkinstone, Nigh unto Covent-Garden, And two or three hours ofter that, I robb'd the Earl of Warren. �5 Through streets, broad streets, and lanes also, I robb'd Lords, Dukes and Earls, Myself in grandeur to maintain, And to support my girls. I never robb'd a poor man in my life But those of a high character ; I robb'd nigh unto Turnham-greet, A revenue Collector. Five hundred pounds I took from him, And smiling it was ready, A hundred guineas of bright gold, I did return his lady. Wherever I saw the distressed poor, When poverty did grieve them, I always found my heart inclin'd, By money to relieve them. I laid upon the rich and great, To rob the poor I scorned, Unless that God prevents my fate, In doom I now lie borned. For straight in Newgate I'm confin'd, And by the law convicted; Tyburn-tree proves my destiny At which I'm much affrighted. �6 Farewell, my home and countrymen, And the ancient hills of Yarrow. Kind providence may rest the soul Of Allan Tine o' Harrow. J A C K IN HiS E L E M E N T . Bold Jack the Sailor, here I come, Pray how do you like my nib; My trowsers wide, my trampers rum, My nab and flowing jib : I sail the seas from end to end, And lead a roving life, At every mess we find a friend, At every port a wife. I have heard them talk of constancy, Of grief and such like fun, I have constant been to ten, cry'd I, But never griev'd for one. The flowing sails we tars unbend, To lead a roving live, At every mess we find a friend, At every port a wife. I have a spanking wife at Portsmouth Gates, A Pigmy at Goree ; �7 An Orange Tawny up the Straits, A Black at St. Lucie: Thus whatsoever course we bend, We lead a jovial life, At every mess we find a friend, At every port a wife. Will Gaffe by death was ta'en aback, I came to bring the news, Poll whimper'd sore, but what did Jack? Why stood in William's shoes ! She cut, I chas'd, and in the end She lov'd me as her life. So she has got a loving friend, And I a loving wife. Come all you Sailors that do go The unfortunate seas to rub, You must work, love and fight your foes, And drink your generous bub ; Storms that our masts in splinters tear, Can make, our joyous life, In every want we find a friend, And every port a wife. T H E BED OF R O S E S . As I was a walking one morning in May, The small birds were singing delightful and gay, here with my true love did often sport and play, Down among the bonny bed of Roses. �8 My pretty brown girl come sit on my knee. For there's none in the world I can fancy but thee ; Nor will I ever change my old love for a new, So my pretty brown girl do not leave me. My daddy and mammy, they often us'd to say, That I was a naughty boy aad us'd to run away; If they bid me go to work I wou'd sooner go to play, Down amongst the bonny bed of Roses. Then away to the church we will walk with an air, Kind Hymen proclaims us to be the happy pair, Her bosom I'll press, and her chains I will wear, Down amongst the bonny Bed of Roses. As I was a walking one morning in spring, The winter going out, and the summer coming in, The cuckoo sang cuckoo, your welcome here! again, And I pray you stay among the green bushes.

EDMOND'S, By W I L L I A M SECKER, LATE PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL. GENESIS ii. 1 8 . And the LORD GOD said. It is not good that the man should be alone ; I will make him an help meetforhim. GLASGOW PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS, 63 ��k WEDDING-RING, FIT FOR THE FINGER. A SERMON ON GENESIS i i . 1 8 . And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone : I will make him a help-meet for him. HUMAN misery is to divine mercy, as a black soil to a sparkling diamond ; or as a sable cloud to the sun-beams, Psalm viii. 4.—Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him ? Man is, in his creation, angelical; in hiscorruption,diabolical; in his translation, majestical. There were four silver channels in which the chrystal streams of God's affection ran to man in hs creation. 1- In his preparation. 2. In his Assimilation, 3 - In his coronation. 4. In his Association. 1- In his preparation. Other creatures received tne character of their beings by a simple fiat; but There was a consultation at his forming ; not for the difficulty, but for the dignity of the work. �4 The painter is most studious about that which he intends to make his master-piece. The four the perfection of man's complexion : the fire was purified, the earth was refined. When man was moulded, heaven and earth was married ; a body from the one was espoused to a soul from the other. 2. In his assimilation. Other creatures were made like themselves, but man was made like God, as the wax hath the impression of the seal upon it. It is admirable to behold so fair a picture in such coarse canvas, and so bright a character in so brown paper. 3. In his coronation. He that made man, and all the rest, made man over all the rest; lie was a little lord of a great lordship : this king was crowned in his craddle. 4. In his association. Society is the solace of humanity ; the world would be a desert, without a comfort. Most of man's parts are made in pairs; now lie that was double in his perfection, must not be single in his condition. And the Lord said, These words are like the iron gate that opened to Peter of its own accord, dividing themselves into three parts : — 1. A n Introduction : And the Lord God said2. A n Assertion : It is not good that man should he alone. 3. A Determination: I will make an J« help-meet for him. ' In the first there is a majesty proposed. In the second there is a malady presented. In the third there is a remedy provided. Once more let me put these grapes into the press. 1. The sovereignness of the expression: And the Lord God said. 2. The solitariness of trie elements �condition: It is not good, 3. The suitableness of the provision ; I will make, &c In the first there is the worth of veracity. In the second, there is the want of society. In the third, there is the work of divinity. Of these in their order. And first of the first. 1. The sovereignness of the expression: And the Lord God said, Luke i. 70* " A s he spoke by the mouths of his prophets." In other scriptures he used their mouths, but in this instance he makes use of his own ; they were the organs, and he the breath ; they the streams, and he the fountain. How he spake, it is hard to determine: whether eternally, internally, or externally. We are not to inquire into the manner of speaking, but into the matter that is spoken; which leads me, like a directing star, from the suburbs to the city, from the porch to the palace, from the founder of the mine, to the treasure that is in it: It is not good, <fac. In which we have two things:— 1. The Subject. 2. The Predicate. The subject, Man alone. The predicate, It is not good, &c. 1. The subject, Man alone. Take this in two branches. 1. As it is limited to one man. 2. As it is lengthened to all men. FIRST, A s i t is l i m i t e d t o o n e m a n : A n d so it is taken particularly: Man, for the first man. When all other creatures had their mates, Adam wanted his ; though he was the emperor of the earth, and the admiral of the seas, yet in Paradise without a companion; though he was truly happy, yet he was not fully happy; though he had enough for his board, yet he had not enough for his bed ; though he had many creatures to serve him, yet �6 he wanted a creature to solace him ; when he was compounded in creation, he must be completed by conjunction ; when he had no sin to hurt him, then he must have a wife to help h i m : It is not good that man should be alone. SECONDLY, A S it is lengthened to all men: And so it is taken universally, Heb. xiii. 4. Marriage is honourable unto all. It is not only warrantable, but honourable. The whole trinity hath conspired together to set a crown of glory upon the head of matrimony. 1. God the Father. Marriage was a tree planted within the walls of Paradise ; the flower first grew in God's garden. 2. The Son. Marriage is a crystal glass, wherein Christ and the saints do see each other's faces. 3. The Holy Ghost, by his overshadowing of the blessed virgin. Well might the world when it saw her pregnancy, suspect her virginity ; but hermatrem without this, her innocency had not prevented her infamy; she needed a shield to defend that chastity abroad which was kept inviolable at home. Too many that have not worth enough to their unchastity; turning the medicine of frailty into the mantle of filthiness. Certainly she is mad that cuts off her leg to get her a crutch; or that venoms her face to wear a mask. Paul makes it one of the characters of those that should cherish the faith, 1 Tim. iv. 3. not to forbear marriage; which is not only lawful but also honourable ; to forbid which, is damnally sinful, and only taught by the influence of devils. One of the Popes of Rome sprinkles this unholy and impure drop upon it, Carnis pollutionem et immundiliem. preserve �7 * ft It is strange that should be a pollution which was instituted before corruption ; or that impurity which was ordained in the state of innocency; or that they should make that to be a sin, which they make to be a sacrament; strange stupidity ! — But a bastard may be laid at the door of chastity, and a leaden crown set upon a golden head. Bellararine (that mighty atlas of the Papal p blows his stinking breath upon i t : "Better were it for a priest to defile himself with many harlots, than to be married to one wife/'—These children of the purple whore prefer monasteries before marriages, a concubine before a compa too many women for their lusts, to choose any for their love.—Their tables are so largely spread that they cannot feed upon one dish. As for their exalting of a virgin-state, it is knows not, that virginity is a pearl of a sparkling lustre ? but the one cannot be set up, without the other be thrown down : No oblation will pacify the former, but the demolishing of the latter. Though find many enemies to the choice of marriage, it it is rare to find any enemies to the use of marriage. They would pick the lock that wants the key, and pluck the fruit that do not plant the tree. The Hebrews have a saying, " that he is not a man that hath not a wife." Though they too high a bough, yet it is to be feared that suchfleshis full of imperfection, that is, not tending to propogation : though man alone m a y b e good, yet, It is not good that man should be alone. Which leads me from the subject to the predicate, It is not good. J Now, it is not good that man should be in a single condition on a threefold consideration. �1 In prevented: Marriage is like water, to quench the sparks of lust's fire, 1 Cor. vii. 2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, Man needed no such physic when he was in perfect health. Temptations may break nature's best sense, and lay its Paradise waste ; but a single life is a prison of unruly desires, which is daily attempted to be broken open. Some, indeed force themselves to a single life, merely to avoid the charges of a married state ; they choose rather to live in their own sensuality, than to extinguish those flames with an allowed remedy : It is better to marry than to burn :—to be lawfully coupled, than to be lustfully scorched. It is best to feed these flames with ordinate fuel, 2 It is not good in respect of mankind, which then would not be propagated. The Roman historian, relat excused them thus, 4 Without them mankind would fall from the earth, and perish.' Marriages do turn mutability into the image of eternity: springs up new buds when the old are withered. It is a great honour for a man to be the father of one son, than to be the master of many servants. Without a wife, children cannot be had lawfully-' without a good wife, children cannot be had comfortably. being grafted in marriage, are trees bearing fruit to the world. Augustine says, 4 They are the first link* of human society, to which all the rest are joined. Mankind had long ago decayed, and been like a taper fallen into the socket, if those breaches which f are made by mortality were not repaired by matrimony. 3. I t is not good in regard of the church, which �could not then have been expatiated. Where there is no generation, there can be no regeneration. Nature makes us creatures before grace makes us christians. If the loins of men had been less fruitful, the death of Christ would have been less successful. It was a witty question that one put to him that said,« 4 Marriage fills the earth, but virginity fills the h e a v e n s H o w can the h if the earth be empty ? Had Adam lived in innocency without matrimony, there would no servants of God in the church militant, nor no saints with God in the church triumphant. But I will not sink this vessel by the over-burthen of it, nor press this truth to death by laying too great a load upon its shoulders. There is one knot which I must untie, before I make a farther progress, viz. 1 Cor. vii. 1. It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Do all the scriptures proceed out of the same mouth ; and do they not all speak the same truth ? The God of unity will not indite discord ; and the God of verity cannot assert falsehood. If good and evil be contraries, how contrary then are these two scriptures ? Either Moses mistakes God, orpaulmistakes Moses, about the point of marriage. There is a public and a private good. In Aspect of one man, it may be good not to touch a woman ; but in respect of all men, It is not good thatmanshould be alone. 2 Moses speaks of the state of man created ; Paul of the state of man corrupted : Now, that wich by institution was a mercy, by corruption may become a misery ; as pure water is tainted by running through a miry channel, or as the sunbeams coloured glass. There is no print of evil in the To receive a tincture by shining �10 world, but sin was the stamp that made it, They that seek nothing but weal in its commission, will find nothing but woe in the conclusion. Which leads me from the solitariness of the condition, Man alone, to the suitableness of the provision, I will make an help-meet for him. In which we have two parts, 1. The Agent, I will make. 2. The Object, An help. 1. The Agent, I will make. W e cannot build a house without tools, but the Trinity is at liberty. T o God's omniscience there is nothing impossible. W e work by hands, without; but he works without makes a meet-help for man. Marriages are consented Though man wants supply, yet man cannot supply his wants, James i. 17. Every good and perfect gift comes from above, A wife, though she be not a perfect gift, yet she is a good gift. These beams are darted from the Son of Righteousness. Hast thou a soft heart ? It is of God's breaking. Hast thou a sweet wife ? She is of God's making. Let me draw up this with double application. 1. When thou layest out for such a good on earth, look up to the God of heaven ; let him make thy choice for thee, who made his choice of thee. Look above you, before you, about you ; nothing makes up the happiness of a married condition, like the holiness of a mortified disposition : account not those the most worthy, that are the most wealthy. Art thou matched to the Lord ? Match in the Lord. How happy are such marriages where Christ is at the wedding! Let none but those who have found favour in God's eyes, find favour in yours. .11 2. Give God the tribute of your gratulation for �11 your good companions. Take head of paying you* rent to a wrong landlord: when you taste of the stream, reflect upon the spring that feeds it. NOT* thou hast four eyes for thy speculation, four hands for thy operation, four feet for thy abulation, and four shoulders for thy sustentation. What the sin against the Holy Ghost is, in point of divinity, that is unthankfulness, in point of morality, an offence unpardonable. Pity it is, but that moon should be ever in an eclipse, that will not acknowledge that praises not the giver, prizes not the gift. And so I pass from the Agent to the Object, A help. She must be so much, and no less ; and so much, and no more. Our ribs were not ordained to be our rulers. They are not made of the head, to claim superiority; but out of the side, to be content nature, who invert the order of nature. The woman was made for the man's comfort, but the man was not made for the woman's command. Those Shoulders aspire too high, that content not themselves with a room below their heads. It is between a man and his wife in the house, as it is between the sun and the moon in the heavens, when the greater light goes down the lesser light gets up ; when the one ends in setting, the other begins in shining. The wife may be a sovereign in her husband's absence, but she must be subject in her husband's presence. As Pharaoh said to Joseph, so should the husband say to his wife, u thou shalt be over my house, and according t 0 thy word shall all my people be ruled, only on the throne will I be greater than thou," Gen. xli, 40. The body of that household can never make any good motion, whose bones are out of place her beams to be borrowed fro with equality. The �12 The woman must he a help to the man in these four things :—1. To his piety. 2. To his society. 3. To his progeny. 4. To his prosperity. To his piety, by the ferventness of her excitation. To his society, by the fragrantness of her conversation. To his progeny, by the fruitfulness of her education, To his prosperity, by her faithful preservation. 1. To his piety, by the ferventness of her excitatio as the two milch-kine, which were coupled together to carry the ark of God ; or as the two cherubims, that looked one upon another, and both upon the mercy-seat; or as the two tables of stone, on each of which were engraven the laws of God. In some families married persons are like Jeremiah's two basket of figs, the one very good, the other very evil; or like fire and water, whilst the one is flaming in devotion, the other is freezing in corruption. 1. On the right side. 2. On the left. On the right side ; when the wife would run in God's way, the husband will not let her go ; when the forehorse in a team will not draw, he wrongs all the rest; when the general of an army forbids a march, all the soldiers stand still. Sometimes on the left: How did Solomon's idolatrous wife draw away his heart from heaven ? A sinning wife was Satan's first ladder, by which he scaled the wall of Paradise, from him. Thus she, that should have been the help of his flesh, was the hurt of his faith ; his nature's under-proper, became his grace's underminer head, is a cross on the shoulders. The wife is often to the husband as the ivy is to the oak, which draws away his sop from him. �13 2. A help to his society, by the fragrantness of her conversation. Man is an affectionate creature ; now the woman's behaviour should be such towards the man, as to requite his affection by increasing his delectation; that the new-born love may not be ruined before it be rooted. A spouse should carry herself so to her husband, as not to disturb his love by her contention, nor to destroy his love by her alineation. Husband and wife should be like two candles burning together, which makes the house more lightsome ; or like two fragrant flowers bound up in one nosegay, that augments its sweetness : or like two well-tuned instruments, which sounding together, make the more melodious music. Husband and wife, what are they but as two springs meeting, and so joining their streams, that they make but one current? It is an unpleasing conjunction. 3. To his progeny, by the fruitfulness of her education ; that so her children in the flesh may be God's children in the spirit, 1 Sam. i. 11. Hannah she vows, if the Lord will give her a son, she would give him to the Lord, to serve him. A spouse should be more careful of her children's breeding, than she should be fearful of her children's in the devil's garden.—Though you bring them out in corruption, yet do not bring them up to damnation whilst they should be teaching their children the way to heaven with their lips, are leading them the way to hell with their lives. Good education is the best livery you can give them living; and it is the best legacy you can leave them dying. You let out your cares to make them great, 0 lift up spectacle to view any contentio bearing. Take heed, lest these !—Those are not mothers but m �14 your prayers to make them good, that before you die from them, you may see Christ live in them. Whilst these twigs are green and tender, they should be bowed towards God. Children and servants are in a family, as passengers in a boat; husband and wife, they are as a pair of oars, to row them to their desired haven. Let these small pieces of timber be hewed and squared for the celestial building. By putting a sceptre of grace into their hands, you will set a crown of glory upon their heads. 4. A help to his prosperity, by her faithfulpreserv at home. One of the ancients speaks excellently : She must not be a field-wife, like Dinah ; nor a street wife, like Tbamar ; nor a window-wife, like Jezabel. Phildeas, when he drew a woman, painted her under a snail-shell; that she might imitate that little creature, that goes no further than it can carry its house upon its head. How many women are there, that are not labouring bees, but idle drones ; that take up a room in the hive, but bring no honey to i t ; that are moths to their husbands' estates, spending when they should be 'sparing. As the man's part is, to provide industriously, so the woman's is, to preserve discreetly ; the one must not be carelessly wanting, the other must not be causelessly wanting ; the man must be seeking with diligence, the woman must be saving with prudence. The cock and hen both scrape together in the dust-heap, to pick up something for the little chickens. To wind up this on a short bottom, 1. If the woman be a not the man cast dirt on Secundus being asked said, Viri naufraghm, help to the man, then let the woman. his opinion of a woman, domus tempestas, quietus �15 impedirhentum„ &c. But surely he was a monster and not a man ; fitter for a tomb to bury him, than a womb to bear him. Some have styled them to be like clouds in the sky ; like motes in the sun ; like snuffs in the candle; like weeds in the garden. But it is not good to play the butcher with that naked sex, that hath no arms but for embraces, A preacher should not be silent for those who are silent from preaching : because they are the weaker vessels, shall they be broken all to pieces ? Thou that sayest women are evil, it may be thy expression flows from thy experience ; but I shall never take that mariner for my pilot, that hath no better knowledge than the splitting of his own ship. Wilt thou condemn the frame of all, for the fault of one ? As if it were true logic, hath ill eyes that disdains all objects. To blast thy helper is to blame thy Maker. In a word, we took our rise from their bowels, and may take our rest in their bosoms. because some are evil therefo 2. Is the woman to be a help to the man ? Then let the man be a help to the woman. What makes some debtors to be such ill pay-masters, but because they look at what is owing to them, but not at what is owing by them. If thou wouldst have thy wife's reverence, let her have thy respect. To force a tear from this relation, is that which neither benefits the husband's authority to enjoin, nor the wif not be sharply driven, but sweetly drawn. Compassion may bend her, but compulsion her. Husband and wife should act towards each other with consent, not by constraint. There are four things wherein the husband is a meet-help to the wife. �16 1. In his protection of her from injuries. It is well observed by one, that the rib of which woman was made, was taken from under his arm : As the use of the arm is to keep off blows from the body, so the office of the husband is to ward off blows from the wife. The wife is the husband's treasury, and the husband the wife's armoury. In darkness he should be her sun, for direction ; in danger he should be her shield for protection. 2. In his providing for her necessities. The husband must communicate maintenance to the wife, as the head conveys influence to the members; thou must not be a drone, and she a drudge. A man in a married estate, is like a chamberlain in an inn, there is knocking for him in every room. Many persons in that condition, waste that estate in luxury, which should supply their wife's necessity; They have neither the faith of a Christian, nor the love of a husband! It is a sad spectacle to see a virgin sold with her own money unto slavery, when services are better than marriages ; the one 3. In his covering of her infirmities. Who would trample upon a jewel, because it is fallen in the dirt, or throw away a heap of wheat for a little chaff, or despise a golden wedge, because it retains some dross ? These roses have some prickles. Now husbands should spread a mantle of charity over their wives' infirmities. They be ill birds that defile their own nests. It is a great deal better you should fast than feast yourselves upon their failings. Some husbands are never well longer than they are holding their fingers in their wife's sores. Such are like crows, that fasten only upon carrion. Do not put out the candle because of the snuff. Husbands and wives should provoke one receives �17 another to love ; and they should love one-another notwithstanding of provocation. Take heed of poisoning those springs from whence the streams of your pleasure flow. 4. By his delighting in her society : a wife takes sanctuary not only in her husband's house, but in his heart. The tree of love should grow up in the family, as the tree of life grew up in the garden of Eden. They that choose their love, should love their choice. They that marry where they affect not, will affect where they marry not. Two joined together without love, are but tied together to make one another miserable. And so I pass to the last stage of the text, A help-meet. 'A help,' there is her fallness ; 4 A meet-help/ there is her fitness. The angels were too much above him ; the inferior creatures too much below him ; he could not step up to the former, nor could he stoop down to the latter; the one was out of his reach, the other was out of his race ; but the woman is a parallel line drawn equal with him. Meet she must be in three things. 1. In the harmony of her disposition. Husband and wife should be like the image in a looking, glass, that answers in all properties to the face that stands before i t ; or like an echo, that returneth the voice it receiveth. Many marriages are like putting new wine into old bottles. An old man is not a meet-help for a young woman : He that sets a grey head upon green shoulders, hath one foot in the grave and another in the cradle : Yet, how many times do you see the spring of youth wedded to the winter of old age ?—A young man is not a meet-help for an old woman ; raw flesh is but an ill plaister for rotten bones. He that in his non-age marries another in her dotage, his lust hath one wife �18 in possession, but his love another in reversion. 2. In heraldry of her condition. Some of our European nations are so strict in their junctions, that it is against their laws for the commonality to couple with the gentry. It was well said by one, <4 If the wife be too much above her husband, she j either ruins him by her vast expenses, or reviles him with her base reproaches; if she be too much below her husband, either her former condition makes her too generous, or her present mutation makes her too imperious.''—Marriages are styled matches, yet amongst those many that are married, how few are there that are matched ! Husbands and wives are like locks and keys, that rather break than open, except the wards be answerable. 3. In the holiness of her religion. If adultery may seperate a marriage contracted, idolatry may hinder a marriage not perfected. Cattle of divers kinds were not to ingender, 2 Cor. vi. 14. Be not unequally yoked, <&c. It is dangerous taking her for a wife, who will not take God for a husband. It is not meet that one flesh should be of two spirits. Is there never a tree thou likest in the garden but that which bears forbidden fruit ? There are but two channels in which the remaining streams shall run :—1. To those men that want wives, how to choose them. 2. To those women who have husbands, how to use them. Marriage is the tying of such a knot, that nothing but death can unloose. Common reason suggests so much, that we should be long a-doing that which can but once be done. Where one design hath been graveled in the sands of delay, thous precipitance. Rash adventures yield gain. Opportunities are not li �19 another returns; but yet take heed of flying without your wings ; you may breed such agues in your bones, that may shake you to your graves. 1. Let me preserve you from a bad choice. 2. Present you with a good one. To preserve you from a bad choice, take that in three things: Choose not for beauty. 2. Choose not for dowry. 3. Choose not for dignity. He that loves to beauty, buys a picture ; he that loves for dowry, makes a purchase ; he that leaps for dignity, matches with a multitude at once. The first of these is too blind to be directed ; the second too base to be accepted ; the third too bold to be respected. 1. Choose not by your eyes. 2. Choose not by your hands. 3. Choose not by your ears. 1. Choose not by your eyes, looking at the beauty of the person. Not but this is lovely in a woman ; but that this is not all for which a woman should be beloved. He that had the choice of many faces stamps this character upon them all, favour is deceitful arid beauty is vain. The sun is more bright in a clear sky, than when the horizon is clouded; but if a woman's flesh hath more of beauty than her spirit hath of Christianity, it is like poison in sweet-meats, most dangerous : 4 4 The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair," Gen. vi. 2. One would have thought that they should rather have looked for grace in the heart, than for beauty in the face : take care of running at the fairest signs ; the swan hath black flesh under her white feathers. 2. Choose not by your hands, for the bounty of the portion. When Cato's daughter was asked why she did not marry ? she thus replied, she could not find the man that loved her person above her portion. Men love curious pictures, but they �20 would have them set in golden frames. Some are so degenerate as to think any good enough, who have but goods enough. Take heed, for sometimes the bag and baggage go together. The person should be a figure, and the portion a cypher, which added to her, advances the sum, but alone signifies nothing. When Themistocles was to marry his daughter, two suitors courted her together, the one rich and a fool, the other wise but poor ; and being asked which of the two he had rather his daughter should have ? he answered Mallem virum fine vecuni : ' I had rather she should have a man without money, than money without a m a n / 2. Choose not by your ears, for the dignity of her parentage. A good old stock may nourish a fruitless branch. There are many children who are not the blessings, but the blemishes of their parents ; they are nobly descended, but ignobly minded : Such was Aurelius Antonious, of whom it was said, that he injured his country of nothing, but being the father of such a child. There are many low in their descents, that are high in their deserts ; such as the cobler's son, who became a famous captain ; when a great person upbraided the meanness of his original, " My nobility, said he, began with me, but thy nobility ends with thee." Piety is a greater honour than parentage. She is the best gentlewoman that is heir of her own deserts, and not the degenerate offspring of another's virtue. To present you with a good choice in three things. 1. Choose such a one as will be a subject to your dominion. Take heed of yoking yourselves with untamed heifers. 2. Choose such a one as may sympathize with you in your affliction. Marriage is just like a sea �21 voyage, he that enters into this ship, must look to meet with storms and tempests, 1 Cor. vii. 20. They that marry shall have trouble in the flesh flesh and trouble are married together, whether we marry or no ; now a bitter cup is too much to be drunk by one mouth. A heavy burthen is easily carried by assistance of other shoulders. Husband and wife should neither be proud flesh, nor dead flesh. You are fellow-members, therefore you should have a fellow-feeling. While one stands safe on the shore, pity should be shown to him that is toast on the sea. Sympathy in suffering is like a dry house in a wet day. 3. Choose such a one as may be serviceable to your salvation. A man may think he hath a saint, when he hath a devil; but take heed of a harlot, that is false to thy bed ; and of a hypocrite, that is false to thy God. 2. To those women who have husbands, how to use them. In two things. 1. Carry yourselves towards them with obedience. Let their power command you, that their praise may commend you. Though you may have your husband's heart, yet you should love his will Till the husband leaves commanding, the wife must never leave obeying. As his injunctions must be lawful, so her subjection must be loyal. 2. With faithfulness. In creation, God made not woman for many men, or many women for one man. Every wife should be to her husband as Eve was to Adam, a whole world of women ; and every husband should be to his wife as Adam was to Eve, a whole world of men. When a river is To conclude, Good servants are a great blessing ; good children a greater blessing ; but a good wife divided into many ch �22 is the greatest blessing : And such a help let him seek for her that wants one, let him sigh for her that hath lost one, let him take pleasure in her that enjoys one. Where there is nothing but a picture of virtue, or a few shadowy qualities that may subsist without any real excellency, death will hide them for ever in the night of despair. The blackness of darkness will close upon the naked and wandering ghost; whilst its loathsome remains are consigned to oblivion and putrefaction in the prison of the grave, with the prospect of a worse doom hereafter. But where there is a living image of true goodness begun in this state, death will deliver it with safety into the finishing hand of eternity, to be produced with every mark of honour in the open view of heaven ; where its now mortal partner, rescued from the dishonours of the dust, and brightened into the graces of eternal youth, shall rejoin it in triumph, to suffer the pangs of separation no more. EVERLASTING JEHOVAH ! what a crown of joy will it confer on the preacher in that day, if this little service shall be rewarded with the reflection of having contributed to the salvation or improvement addresses ! If ever thine ear was open to my cry, hear me* O Lord! hear me in their behalf. What cannot thy spirit perform, perform by the weakest hand ? May that spirit seal them to the day of redemption. At that glorious period, may I meet you all amongst the redeemed of the Lord, happy to see you shining with immortal splendour in the general assembly and church of the first born, transported to think that I shall live with you for ever, and joining in the granulations of your fellow �23 in the sight of all, clothe you with the garment of salvation, and cover you with the robe of righteousness, and as a bride is adorned with her Jewels. Amen LADY as a bridegroom is decked FRETFUL, A SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE. HER general style of conversation runs on the inconveniences to be expected from this or that circumstance, and no one is so ingenious in extracting unsuspected evil from plans of the fai promise. Is the weather fine, and a walk mentioned—It is hot—it is dusty—the wind east—there was rain in the morning—it will be dirty—or it will rain before we reach home. Is she to go out in the carriage ; one road is too long the horses—another is unpleasant—another unsafe—and, in short, none are exactly right. yet she goes on these proposed expeditions, after all possibility of pleasure has been reasoned and anticipated away. If she is going out to dinner, is sure the company will be unpleasant—the servants will get drunk—she shall be robbed, or overturned in coming home. If she is to have a at home, she knows every thing will go nobody will be amusing—the time will heavy—the people will go away, execrating t employed he stupidity of the visit. If she sees any lady about a piece of work, she prognosticates �24 it will be unfashionable before it is finished. I she sees any one reading, she never new any good come of reading, but to make young people unfit for conversation. If her husband is going a goes for a ride, she is surprised he can take pleasure in sitting on his horse for hours together. If he is in his library, she never saw such a book-worm. If he sits in the parlour, she hates men always at their wive's apron strings. Thus does she sour every common occurance of life by the most in genious optical delusion, looking at every thing in the worst point of view. hun What absurdity to imbitter one's alloted portion of happiness by so obstinately persisting toanti think fair appearances promise fair conclusions ? Why, if the sun shines in the morning, be unwilling to enjoy it then ? And, if it rains, why not be always inclined to hope the weather will brighten ? � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/5a5e05ef37ff972c650d66538ff44477.jpg 9cf91e947214d011b0436cc9970a7137 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

The preacher breaks up the passage into smaller phrases and deals with them individually, extolling the many virtues of marriage and its rightness in the eyes of God. The proper roles and behaviors for both husband and wife are discussed at length, as well as the dangers of improper behavior, such as adultery. The sermon also includes some invectives against the Roman Catholic Church and their policy on clerical marriage. The sermon is followed by a short passage entitled, “Lady Fretful: A Sketch from Real Life,” which describes a pessimistic woman who complains and sees the worst in everything.
