be_v love_v when_o their_o husband_n be_v not_o love_v thus_o of_o the_o four_o point_n the_o five_o point_n be_v the_o effect_n and_o that_o be_v they_o adorn_v themselves_o adorn_v themselves_o doct._n in_o all_o age_n the_o comeliness_n and_o ornament_n of_o a_o wife_n as_o a_o wife_n be_v to_o obey_v her_o husband_n with_o meekness_n and_o fear_n and_o those_o be_v the_o comely_a and_o best_a apparel_v woman_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n their_o husband_n and_o good_a man_n that_o be_v most_o quiet_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v govern_v and_o willinge_a to_o please_v their_o husband_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o wife_n be_v a_o very_a unhandsome_a woman_n and_o not_o fit_a to_o please_v any_o wise_a man_n that_o be_v of_o a_o froward_a and_o unquiet_a disposition_n either_o through_o anger_n or_o cry_v or_o the_o like_a yea_o though_o she_o have_v otherwise_o never_o so_o great_a a_o estate_n or_o never_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o nature_n of_o mind_n or_o body_n yea_o if_o she_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o have_v true_a holiness_n and_o grace_n yet_o she_o be_v but_o a_o loathsome_a creature_n and_o this_o doctrine_n as_o it_o shall_v move_v all_o wife_n so_o especial_o such_o as_o have_v not_o other_o thing_n to_o commend_v they_o but_o want_v either_o portion_n or_o beauty_n or_o skill_n or_o have_v but_o weak_a gift_n in_o religion_n these_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o careful_a to_o recompense_v their_o husband_n and_o strive_v to_o please_v they_o in_o this_o way_n of_o adorn_v themselves_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o example_n be_v subjection_n to_o their_o husband_n and_o of_o that_o i_o have_v entreat_v in_o the_o exhortation_n itself_o the_o special_a argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o particular_a example_n of_o sarah_n vers_fw-la 6._o where_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v 1_o what_o she_o do_v viz._n she_o obey_v abraham_n call_v he_o lord_n 2_o what_o fruit_n will_v follow_v to_o christian_a wife_n if_o they_o follow_v her_o example_n viz._n they_o shall_v become_v her_o daughter_n 3_o upon_o what_o condition_n they_o shall_v obtain_v that_o honour_n viz._n if_o they_o do_v well_o and_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o any_o amazement_n sarah_n the_o name_n here_o mention_v be_v sarah_n and_o abraham_n and_o both_o their_o name_n be_v keep_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n not_o as_o they_o be_v at_o first_o but_o as_o they_o be_v change_v of_o god_n out_o of_o his_o love_n and_o respect_n to_o their_o faith_n and_o obedience_n the_o woman_n be_v first_o call_v sarai_n which_o signify_v my_o lady_n or_o my_o mistress_n but_o after_o be_v change_v into_o sarah_n to_o signify_v that_o she_o shall_v be_v a_o mistress_n to_o many_o or_o a_o mistress_n indefinite_o mean_v that_o she_o shall_v have_v a_o great_a posterity_n as_o the_o man_n name_n be_v change_v into_o abraham_n and_o signify_v a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n from_o the_o give_n of_o the_o name_n we_o may_v gather_v 1_o such_o as_o glorify_v god_n by_o believe_v and_o keep_v his_o covenant_n and_o patient_a bear_n of_o adversity_n shall_v be_v bless_v of_o god_n and_o in_o particular_a shall_v have_v this_o blessing_n of_o a_o happy_a posterity_n a_o godly_a life_n bring_v god_n to_o we_o and_o our_o family_n and_o a_o ungodly_a life_n drive_v he_o away_o 2_o that_o god_n be_v no_o accepter_n of_o person_n but_o godly_a wife_n shall_v have_v their_o part_n in_o the_o blessing_n of_o godly_a husband_n this_o christian_n wife_n may_v look_v for_o if_o they_o be_v as_o sarah_n holy_a woman_n and_o such_o as_o obey_v their_o husband_n and_o be_v a_o comfort_n and_o help_v to_o they_o in_o all_o the_o travail_n of_o their_o life_n and_o no_o way_n hinder_v godliness_n in_o they_o obey_v abraham_n diverse_a thing_n may_v be_v note_v hence_o 1_o that_o obedience_n be_v the_o chief_a thing_n require_v in_o the_o subjection_n of_o wife_n show_v how_o sarah_n be_v subject_a he_o say_v she_o obey_v he_o the_o main_a thing_n require_v of_o wife_n be_v to_o be_v rule_v by_o their_o husband_n those_o wife_n transgress_v that_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o see_v that_o do_v which_o their_o husband_n require_v &_o with_o reason_n require_v and_o those_o that_o cross_v their_o husband_n and_o vex_v they_o by_o oppose_v or_o censure_v especial_o those_o that_o will_v not_o be_v quiet_a unless_o they_o may_v do_v what_o they_o list_v and_o rule_v their_o husband_n 2_o that_o as_o much_o be_v due_a to_o every_o husband_n as_o be_v due_a from_o sarah_n to_o abraham_n else_o this_o argument_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o be_v good_a they_o may_v have_v say_v that_o abraham_n be_v a_o great_a man_n and_o holy_a and_o wise_a and_o love_v etc._n etc._n but_o the_o apostle_n require_v that_o what_o woman_n will_v do_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o obedience_n if_o they_o have_v abraham_n to_o their_o husband_n that_o must_v they_o do_v to_o he_o that_o be_v now_o their_o husband_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v clear_a because_o god_n commandment_n in_o the_o moral_a law_n prescribe_v the_o same_o honour_n to_o be_v give_v to_o all_o husband_n and_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n obedience_n be_v require_v of_o all_o wife_n to_o all_o husband_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o observable_a in_o sarah_n because_o in_o obey_v abraham_n she_o be_v fain_o to_o leave_v she_o own_o country_n and_o be_v expose_v to_o a_o world_n of_o pain_n and_o danger_n and_o want_n 3_o that_o the_o discharge_n of_o domestical_a duty_n be_v a_o good_a work_n and_o shall_v be_v have_v in_o everlasting_a remembrance_n though_o all_o good_a wife_n have_v not_o the_o honour_n to_o be_v write_v in_o god_n book_n of_o scripture_n and_o praise_v therein_o yet_o they_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v write_v in_o god_n book_n of_o remembrance_n which_o shall_v be_v open_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o contrariwise_o call_v he_o lord_n that_o she_o do_v so_o call_v he_o the_o apostle_n find_v write_v gen._n 18.12_o hence_o we_o may_v observe_v 1_o that_o godly_a wife_n ought_v to_o acknowledge_v their_o husband_n to_o have_v power_n over_o they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v servant_n buy_v with_o their_o money_n not_o that_o their_o subjection_n be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o subjection_n of_o servant_n but_o that_o the_o husband_n have_v aswell_o power_n over_o they_o as_o they_o have_v over_o their_o servant_n sarah_n do_v not_o in_o judgement_n only_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o due_a but_o with_o wonderful_a affection_n do_v easy_o and_o with_o great_a love_n give_v that_o title_n to_o abraham_n 2_o that_o it_o be_v one_o part_n of_o the_o subjection_n of_o wife_n to_o carry_v themselves_o reverent_o towards_o their_o husband_n and_o to_o give_v they_o such_o title_n as_o may_v show_v that_o they_o do_v hearty_o honour_v they_o 3_o we_o may_v here_o observe_v the_o wonderful_a goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o servant_n that_o in_o a_o great_a heap_n of_o sin_n can_v see_v &_o accept_v of_o a_o little_a spark_n of_o true_a grace_n the_o whole_a sentence_n of_o sarah_n be_v vile_a and_o profane_a only_o that_o word_n be_v good_a god_n praise_v she_o for_o that_o be_v good_a and_o pass_v by_o the_o great_a fault_n she_o commit_v yea_o we_o may_v note_v that_o god_n be_v so_o well_o please_v with_o her_o love_a subjection_n to_o her_o husband_n that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o forgive_v her_o great_a sin_n of_o unbelief_n against_o he_o yea_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o her_o great_a respect_n of_o her_o husband_n make_v she_o the_o more_o willing_o to_o believe_v god_n promise_v afterward_o for_o heb._n 11.11_o she_o be_v commend_v judge_a god_n to_o be_v faithful_a who_o have_v promise_v she_o a_o child_n though_o at_o first_o she_o laugh_v at_o it_o who_o daughter_n you_o be_v godly_a woman_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o daughter_n of_o sarah_n three_o way_n way_n 1_o if_o sarah_n be_v take_v mystical_o for_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n as_o gal._n 4._o 2_o in_o respect_n of_o inherit_v the_o love_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o sarah_n have_v they_o shall_v be_v her_o daughter_n that_o be_v they_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o portion_n from_o god_n as_o if_o they_o have_v come_v in_o sarahs_n room_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o abraham_n be_v say_v rom._n 4.11_o 16._o 3_o in_o respect_n of_o spiritual_a kindred_n and_o alliance_n christian_a woman_n be_v as_o near_o a_o kin_n to_o sarah_n as_o if_o they_o be_v she_o own_o daughter_n so_o that_o the_o main_a doctrine_n from_o hence_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a kindred_n and_o consanguinity_n between_o the_o godly_a about_o which_o from_o this_o place_n we_o may_v observe_v diverse_a position_n 1_o that_o all_o the_o godly_a be_v a_o kin_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v all_o
