But it&#039;s easier once you know what the references are:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Pro XII: Ein (f)leissig weib ist eine krone i(h)res mannes. XXXI: Wem ein tugentsam weib bescheret ist die ist vieledler denn die kostlichsten perlen. Iesus.</i></p><p><b>Proverbs 12: A virtuous woman is her husband’s crown.</b></p><p><b>Proverbs 31: When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Jesus.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><i><i>Sirach XXVI: </i>Ein schon weib das from(m) bleibt ist wie die helle lampen auf demh leuch(ter).</i></p><p><b><b>Sirach 26: </b>A beautiful woman who remains pious is like a bright lamp on the sacred candlestick.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Zu erhn allen from(m)en ehe leuten und zu eine(n) gluckseligen newen iar. Durch Val Maler.</i></p><p><b>In honour of all pious marriages, and to a blissful New Year. By Valentin Maler.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Presumably, the &#039;flaming goblet&#039; is the candlestick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
