that_o be_v every_o thing_n that_o the_o husband_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o place_n may_v command_v and_o not_o only_o in_o some_o thing_n which_o she_o best_a like_v of_o so_o that_o in_o brief_a by_o this_o generality_n not_o god_n will_v but_o the_o wife_n will_n be_v exclude_v from_o this_o ground_n arise_v two_o conclusion_n 1_o that_o the_o wife_n labour_n to_o bring_v her_o judgement_n

persuade_v and_o indeed_o the_o husband_n ought_v to_o hear_v she_o as_o the_o shunamite_n husband_n do_v 2_o king_n 4.23_o the_o reason_n be_v 1_o because_o hereby_o be_v her_o subjection_n manifest_v that_o it_o be_v for_o conscience_n in_o regard_n of_o her_o husband_n place_n and_o authority_n for_o if_o it_o be_v in_o thing_n command_v she_o must_v do_v it_o whether_o her_o husband_n

because_o the_o husband_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n stead_n and_o room_n 2_o under_o a_o metaphor_n b●cause_n the_o husband_n be_v the_o wife_n head_n 3_o because_o herein_o he_o do_v resemble_v christ_n 4_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o place_n he_o be_v a_o saviour_n of_o his_o wife_n 5_o the_o example_n of_o the_o church_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v a_o clear_a point_n by_o that_o general_a rule_n that_o all_o who_o have_v any_o lawful_a authority_n over_o other_o they_o be_v as_o god_n unto_o they_o as_o moses_n be_v say_v to_o be_v to_o aaron_n hence_o arise_v two_o conclusion_n 1_o that_o the_o wife_n in_o subiect_v herself_o to_o her_o husband_n subject_n herself_o to_o christ_n 2_o that_o in_o refuse_v subjection_n to_o her_o husband_n she_o refuse_v subjection_n to_o christ_n

christ_n jesus_n now_o if_o we_o consider_v due_o this_o reason_n we_o shall_v see_v how_o strong_a a_o motive_n it_o be_v to_o persuade_v wife_n to_o perform_v this_o duty_n of_o obedience_n 2_o 1_o cor._n 11.3_o this_o reason_n show_v that_o the_o husband_n be_v to_o the_o wife_n as_o the_o head_n of_o a_o natural_a body_n be_v to_o it_o he_o be_v more_o eminent_a in_o place_n more_o excellent_a in_o dignity_n he_o have_v power_n to_o rule_v and_o govern_v and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o wife_n do_v submit_v herself_o 1_o cor._n 11.14_o 3_o for_o the_o further_a urge_v and_o press_v the_o former_a reason_n it_o be_v add_v that_o the_o husband_n herein_o have_v a_o fellowship_n and_o copartnership_n with_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v brethren_n in_o office_n and_o though_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a disparity_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o husband_n yet_o may_v there_o be_v a_o resemblance_n where_o be_v no_o parity_n and_o a_o similitude_n where_o there_o be_v no_o equality_n and_o therefore_o this_o hinder_v not_o that_o fellowship_n hence_o two_o conclusion_n 1_o that_o he_o be_v unto_o his_o wife_n as_o christ_n to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o subjection_n be_v as_o well_o due_a unto_o the_o husband_n by_o the_o wife_n as_o subjection_n by_o the_o church_n to_o christ_n 2_o that_o they_o that_o do_v subject_a themselves_o to_o their_o husband_n do_v honour_n christ_n they_o that_o impeach_v the_o authority_n of_o their_o husband_n impeach_v the_o authority_n of_o christ_n yea_o the_o very_a place_n of_o the_o head_n in_o a_o natural_a body_n as_o we_o see_v he_o that_o impeach_v the_o authority_n of_o one_o magistrate_n impeach_v the_o authority_n of_o all_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n see_v ester_n 1.16_o corollary_n 1_o that_o christ_n will_v sure_o maintain_v the_o husband_n authority_n as_o magistrate_n in_o the_o like_a case_n will_v do_v one_o of_o another_o wherefore_o though_o the_o husband_n himself_o forbear_v yet_o may_v stout_a and_o rebellious_a wife_n just_o fear_v the_o revengement_n of_o christ_n 4_o the_o four_o reason_n show_v that_o the_o husband_n have_v this_o authority_n not_o so_o much_o for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o wife_n be_v good_a the_o name_n of_o saviour_n be_v proper_o and_o true_o apply_v to_o christ_n math._n 1.21_o luke_n

to_o protect_v his_o wife_n to_o defe●d_v she_o from_o hurt_n and_o danger_n to_o provide_v for_o she_o etc._n etc._n and_o indeed_o the_o head_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n for_o this_o cause_n not_o only_o for_o the_o authority_n and_o sovereignty_n but_o for_o the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o it_o hence_o we_o see_v 1_o that_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o wife_n be_v for_o she_o own_o good_a 2_o that_o they_o who_o refuse_v to_o be_v subject_a as_o they_o be_v injurious_a to_o themselves_o so_o they_o be_v ungrateful_a to_o their_o husband_n 5_o take_v from_o the_o example_n of_o
