Page:Pleasures of matrimony (3).pdf/2



It is a strange thing, that people should ask of the fifteen comforts or pleasures of Matrimony, as if they could he numbered; whereas I affirm, that the pleasures of matrimony are numberless. No wonder then there is nothing more desired, or even coveted, than matrimony, and that it has been in such high esteem among all nations from the beginning of the world. It is true there has been a clamour against it; and many that condemn it, and cry it down, mistake comforts for discomforts.
