The Christen state of matrymonye, wherin housbandes [and] wyfes maye lerne to kepe house together with loue. The originall of holy wedlok: wha[t], where how, [and] of whom it was instituted [and] ordeyned: what it is: how it ought to proceade: what be the occasio[n]s, frute and commodities therof. Co[n]trary wyse: how shamefull and horrible a thinge whordome and aduoutry is: how one ought also to chose hym a mete [and] conuenient spouse to kepe and increase the mutual loue, trouth and dewtye of wedloke: and how maried folkes shulde bring vp thery chyldren in th fears of God.
