Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ As for young widows, reject them; for when they become impatient of the restraints of the Christ, they will wish to marry, ¹² incurring blame for having violated their former engagement. ¹³ Add to this, that, being idle, they learn to ramble from house to house, and are not only idle, but are indeed tatlers, and intermedlers, speaking tilings which are unbecoming. ¹⁴ My decision therefore is, that the younger widows marry, bear children, govern their families, give no advantage, no occasion of reproach to the adversary.
