You hint about marriage. You will
doubtless marry. If you think it most for the glory of God —
and few ever thought otherwise — fix on a suitable person,
and have done with it. Do not pay your addresses to half a
dozen or more at once. Never thus trifle with their
affections and your own. Piety, good sense, and industry in
a wife, are essential to conjugal happiness. When married,
let not your wife govern either yourself or the church. God
has made you the head [1
Cor 11.3]; and if you are not qualified for the
station, it is her misfortune, and therefore she must submit
to it with patience.
