in_o quiet_a with_o his_o wife_n must_v observe_v these_o three_o rule_n often_o to_o admonish_v seldom_o to_o reprove_v and_o never_o to_o smite_v she_o let_v the_o husband_n also_o remember_v the_o say_n of_o a_o heathen_a who_o speak_v of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o woman_n very_o apt_o say_v that_o they_o must_v be_v either_o take_v away_o or_o bear_v withal_o he_o that_o can_v take_v

5_o the_o husband_n be_v also_o to_o understand_v that_o as_o god_n create_v the_o woman_n not_o of_o the_o head_n and_o so_o equal_a in_o authority_n with_o her_o husband_n so_o also_o he_o create_v

conduct_n and_o government_n of_o her_o head_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n the_o husband_n be_v not_o to_o command_v his_o wife_n in_o manner_n as_o the_o master_n his_o servant_n but_o as_o the_o soul_n do_v the_o body_n as_o be_v conjoin_v in_o like_a affection_n and_o good_a will_n for_o as_o the_o soul_n in_o govern_v the_o body_n tend_v to_o the_o benefit_n and_o commodity_n of_o the_o

singular_a goodness_n unto_o man_n in_o create_v he_o a_o helper_n to_o assist_v he_o so_o let_v he_o consider_v in_o how_o many_o sort_n she_o be_v to_o he_o a_o helper_n to_o pass_v over_o this_o
