that_o shall_v be_v guide_v by_o they_o make_v servant_n and_o child_n to_o take_v occasion_n of_o liberty_n and_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n to_o they_o as_o they_o fail_v in_o duty_n either_o to_o

forcible_a to_o draw_v duty_n from_o he_o in_o a_o word_n the_o wife_n main_a duty_n here_o be_v subjection_n the_o man_n principal_o love_n 4._o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o available_a with_o

this_o show_v if_o any_o breach_n or_o occasion_n of_o offence_n shall_v arise_v between_o man_n and_o wife_n whither_o be_v to_o seek_v to_o other_o howsoever_o the_o husband_n in_o discretion_n be_v

of_o duty_n that_o thereupon_o have_v ensue_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o order_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o matter_n wherein_o concern_v the_o wife_n duty_n first_o propound_v observe_v we_o two_o thing_n the_o main_a duty_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o the_o main_a duty_n on_o the_o wife_n part_n be_v submission_n or_o subjection_n that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n both_o 14.34_o

will_v have_v 14.40_o all_o thing_n do_v in_o decency_n and_o in_o order_n but_o that_o the_o wife_n shall_v submit_v and_o subject_v herself_o to_o her_o husband_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n comely_a and_o the_o contrary_a uncomely_a which_o point_n shall_v further_o the_o more_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o superior_a and_o the_o wife_n the_o inferior_a that_o the_o husband_n be_v as_o the_o head_n the_o wife_n as_o the_o body_n or_o the_o rib_n for_o the_o first_o there_o can_v be_v no_o ordinary_a intercourse_n and_o commerce_n or_o

the_o inferior_a as_o the_o apostle_n elsewhere_o prove_v both_o from_o the_o creation_n and_o since_o the_o transgression_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o order_n manner_n end_v
