Hymenaeus, in nuptias nobilis, et generosi domini, et sponsi domini Ioannis Iacobi à Madijs & honestae virginis Annae à Wyngarten, sponsae eiusdem castissimae

Now, since there are so many tears, and strength is not an exhaustion of labors: who will want to be able to lack this protection? And without delay, if you desire to know such great fruits of the marriage bed, behold, the Thunderer original: "Altitonans" - an epithet for Jupiter, here used for God is at hand with His aid. He who adorned marriage rites with such great praise, He alone must be implored by anyone for these things. For it is not enough to have taken up the flashing torches, unless the great divinity wishes to be present with us. To what end will you hunt for such great fruits in vain? Indeed, by a reversed path, all things will fall. We see for this reason alone so many quarrels, disputes: flight started by one's own spouse is seen. Horrendous examples are reported daily from this, of those whom the Furies entangle with savage snakes. This one rages against his own flesh, which he plunges with a deathly groan into the wave of black Acheron original: "Acherontis" - a river in the underworld. That one pours out the blood of his spouse with a blind blade and defiles his hands with foul love. If it is lighter, they seek frequent divorces, both complaining of the broken faith of the other. Why with many words: youth, raised in vices, sees shameful things before its eyes, not to be imitated. Fathers provide nourishment for unjust deeds, and deeds not to be cast out from minds lie hidden. Therefore, when the whole marriage law perishes due to unequal pursuits, they will not be able to be rightly subject to the yoke. One promotes the same deed which the other hinders: for a concordant, helpful mind is absent. Estates are sold, collected furniture is sold, or at least they lie covered in much mud. This happens because no grace was invoked from the Lord, so that He might bring help to the miserable.
