ashamed also to call vs brethren Hebr. 2. 11. The Church also is a mother in respect of the faithfull which are begotten to the faith so Ierusalem which is from aboue is the mother of vs all Galat. 4. 26. Now then the Church must heare Christs voice Christs sheepe will heare his voice Iohn 10. 16. they wil neither heare nor follow a stranger ver 5. Christs voice is not to be heard but in the Scriptures therefore other doctrine must not be receiued of the Church then is taught and deliuered in the Scriptures This directly impugneth the popish opinion of vnwritten traditions which they bring in beside yea contrary to the scriptures which they hold not to conteyne all things necessary to saluation But the Apostle saith otherwise that the Scriptures are able to make one wi●e vnto saluation and to make the man of God perfectly prepared to euery good worke 2. Timoth. 3. 15. 17. If perfect wisedome then bee found in the scriptures what need is there of any other additions whatsoeuer is added to that which is perfect sheweth a defect and is superfluous Therefore Tertullian saith excellently Nobis curiositate non est opus post Christum Iesum nec inquisitione post Euangelium Wee need no curious inuention after Christ nor no inquisition after or beside the Gospell If any will search further he is like a way●aring man without a guide in a desert country and as a shippe on the sea without a Pilot to leaue the scripture is a way to error not a stay from erring as he againe worthily saith Credunt sine scripturit vt credant aduersus scripturas They beleeue without Scripture that they may beleeue against Scripture 10. Then to conclude where I began the duetie of the wife is to be directed by the husband beeing a man of vnderstanding as in all other ciuill matters so specially in religious exercises Those wiues are to blame that refuse heerein to be guided and those husbands more which do not vse heerein to direct their wiues but suffer them euen vnder their nose as we say to practise a contrary and the same a false religion As many themselues protestants but cold ones you may well thinke doe suffer their wiues to be popish recusants it is an excellent saying of Ambrose In mulurum insolentia etiam mariti notantur Ambrose in 1. Cor. 1. 14. Euen the husbands are noted in the insolent behauiour of their wiues A wife suspected in religion maketh also her husband to be suspected Some women may bee so wilfully bent and so frozen in their superstitious dregs that they will not be remooued I therefore onely speake against such carelesse husbands as make no great conscience what religion their wiues bee of neither take any great care to haue them better instructed They remember not that saying of the Apostle What concord hath Christ with Beliall or what part hath the beleeuer with the Infidell 2. Cor. 6. 11. And what true loue can there be betweene a protestant and a Papist a professor of the true faith and a detester thereof Tertullian saith right Domino non potest pro disciplina satisfacere habens in latere diaboli seruum One cannot satisfie the Lord for religion hauing the diuels seruant lying by his side That Heathen Moralist spake diuinely That a woman should haue no friends but such as are her husbands and because the Gods are the chiefest friends the wife should acknowledge no other Gods but those which her husband worshippeth and so hee concludeth That no sacred dutie performed secretly and by stealth by the wife is acceptable to any of the gods But our ancient Christian writer much better In Ecclesia Dei pariter In connubio Dei pariter They must be in the Church of God together and in Gods marriage bed together Thus while they accord in religion and the wife followeth her husbands pious direction all other things shall prosper and vnitie in religion will bring forth cheerfulnesse and alacrity in euery action Eleemosynae sine tormento sacrificia sine scrupulo cotidiana diligentia sine impedimento Their almes shall be without grudging their spirituall sacrifice without offending their daily diligence and endeauour without hindring c. Forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house 11 First touching the literall and historicall sense here is expressed the fidelitie and neere coniunction of the wife to her husband that in regard thereof euen the father and fathers house must bee forgotten therefore at the very first institution of marriage this rule was giuen For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother and clea●e to his wife Gen. 2. 25. The wife must not for any others sake forsake the guide of her youth nor forget the couenant of God Prou. 3. 17. Where two reasons are giuen because her husband though now olde was somtime young and a guide to his wife in her youth when shee could not gouerne her selfe as he pleased then so must he still and the other reason is because a couenant was made betweene them before God which must not be broken Thus Sarah first and afterward Rebeccah Leah also and Rachel left their countrie father and fathers house and did follow their husbands Abraham Isaac and Iacob 12 Michol Sauls daughter hearkened not to her father but against his minde preserued the life of Dauid her husband 1. Sam. 19. 12. Yea the Heathen women by the light of nature were taught to preferre the loue and life of their husbands before all other as Cleopatra Antiochus daughter the great being giuen in marriage to Ptolomeus Epiphanes with an intent to make away her husband yet tooke her husbands part against her father which is thus briefly touched in Daniel She shall not stand on his side neither be for him Dan. 11. 17. Diuers such examples of noble women that were faithfull to their husbands and kept continuall remembrance of them are alleaged by Hierome as Bilia the wife of Duellius when her husband being cast in the teeth that he had a strong breath and was angrie with her that she told him not of it made this modest answere Fecissem nisi putassem omnibus viris sic os olere I had done it but that I thought euery mans breath to smell so Martia Cato his daughter mourning for her husband being asked Quem diem haberet luctus vltimum ait quem vitae What day shall be the last of her griefe the same saith shee that shall be of my life Valeria the wife of Seruius would not consent to marrie any other saying Seruium semper viuere That her husband Seruius liued still 13 For such is the ordinance of God that man and wife are counted one flesh Genes 2. 24. To diuide then and sunder the affection betweene man and wife were all one as to rent one member from another Like as then in a picture the first colours which

The application of the Psalme to the present honourable mariage of the illustrious Princes 30 THE FIRST PART OF THE DVTIE OF THE CHVRCH TO CHRIST AND OF THE Wife to the Husband PSALM 45. Vers. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 10 Hearken O daughter and see or consider incline thine eare forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house 11 So shall the King delight in thy beautie for he is thy Lord and reuerence thou him TWo things are first brieflie to bee touched before I descend to the content of these verses of the author or writer of this Psalme and of the matter who speaketh here and of what for the first there are diuers opinions 1. Some thinke that God the Father thus speaketh of his Sonne my heart will vtter a good word vers 1. Which they vnderstand of the ineffable generation of the Son the eternall word of God so Augustine and Isidore with other 2. Some thinke that Christ speaketh here of himselfe My tongue is the penne of a readie writer which Origen vnderstandeth of the swift preaching of Christ who taught but a short time in earth vniuersus orbit praedicatione eius impletur and all the world is filled with his preaching Hierome giueth this sense Christus euangelij strictum sermonem exarauit in tabulis cordis Christ did graue the compendious speach of the Gospel in the tables of the hart but neither of these opinions can stand because of these words vers 7. God euen thy God hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes for this neither the Father can vtter of his Son nor Christ the Son of himselfe 3. Tertullian taketh Dauid to be the writer of this Psalme accingere inquit Dauid ense c. be girded with a sword vpon thy thigh saith Dauid so also Isychius Dauid patrem vngentem dixit Dauid calleth the Father the anointer c. But the Prophet speaketh of a Kings daughter which should be brought vnto the King vers 14. now in Dauids time Salomon his son was not married to Pharaoh the King of Egypts daughter and he speaketh not of himselfe as the words shew 4. Their opinion then is rather to bee receiued that thinke this Psalme to haue been endited by the sonnes of Korah or some one of them as Lyranus or some other Prophet that is not named as diuers of the Psalmes are by such composed 2. Now concerning the argument and matter of the Psalme the question is whether it onely speake of Christ and of his spirituall marriage with the
