Metaphrasis Et Homiliae in Librum Salomonis, Qui Inscribitur Ecclesiastes (1632)

The story that takes place in Chicago, is about a couple who fail in their experiment of trying to maintain a lasting relationship by living together without the benefit of marriage. The man is caught up in his own debilitating lifestyle which leans toward a rocky relationship between them. Domestic violence between the two results in an injury to the womanas young son, whom they both love dearly. The son, who is a Christian, recovers from his injury with no feelings of ill will against either his mother or her boyfriend. He does, in fact, turn out to be the instrument God uses to bring both of them to a saving knowledge of Jesus. The story concludes with the coupleas ultimate reconciliation and union in marriage.
