Heinrich Bullinger, The Christen State of Matrimonye. The orygenall of holy wedlock; whan, where, how, and of whom it was instituted and ordained: what it is: how it ought to proceade: what be the occasions, frute and commodities therof. Contrary wyse, how shamefull [and] horrible a thinge whordome [and] aduoutry is: how one oughte also to chose hym a mete and convenient spouse to kepe and increace the mutuall love, trouth and dewtie of wedlock: and how maried folks shuld bring up their children in the feare of god.
