A86361	A New-Years-gift for women. Being a true looking-glass which they seldome have in their own closets, where (for the most part) are none but flattering ones: but hereby, and herein, they may truly, plainly, and directly, see their duties, both towards God, and their own husbands. With an epistle dedicatory, directed to the feminine gender (never done before) nor the like extant in no printed book. However, many have dedicated to one or two vertuous ladies, upon some good reasons moving the author thereunto. But never any (as this is) to the whole sex of women, of what rank or quality soever they be.	Hill, William, 1619-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing H2035; Thomason E2114_1; ESTC R212662	17,927	71

rank I have little to say more then to commend their Vertues and to pray for their Perseverance that God will be pleased to perfect that good work which he hath begun in them Yet for their comfort encouragement and imitation I will mention some good Women whom we finde recorded in holy Scripture and will begin with Sarah Sarah the Wife of faithful Abraham who is stiled the Friend of God and of her great love and obedience to her Husband in calling him Lord And what was her reward God opened her womb when she was old and she conceived and brought forth a Son in whom all the Families of the earth were blessed Next in order comes Rebecca thus Rebecca when Abraham had sent his servant to seek out a Wife for his Son Isaac charging him to take one of his kindred and of his Fathers house by special providence Rebecca came accidently to water her Fathers Cattle and she was so kinde that she drew water to make Abrahams servant drink and his Camels also so she brought him home to her Fathers house where he was most kindly entertained her Father being brother to his Master Abraham to whom he revealed his message saying unto them If ye will deale mercifully and kindly with my Master tell me and if not tell me that I may turne me to the right hand or to the left To which they made this divine answer saying This thing is proceeded of the Lord we cannot therefore say unto thee neither evil or good but thus conclude Behold Rebecca is before thee take her and goe that she may be thy Masters sons Wife even as the Lord hath said Then the Servant took forth Iewels of silver and Iewels of gold and rayment and gave to Rebecca also unto her brother and to her Mother he gave gifts and they did both eate and drink and he tarried there all night and when he rose in the morning he said let me depart unto my Master but her mother and her brother answered let the maid abide with us at least ten days and then shall she go which was referred unto Rebecca her self who made choice to go presently whereby she became a notable pattern and worthy example to all Women to prefer their Husbands before Mother or Brother or any friends or near relations whatever Now when she came near to Abrahams house she shewed abundance of humility for seeing Isaac coming forth to meet her she took a vail and covered her and so they became man and wife and Isaac loved her and thus he was comforted after his mothers death Next you may take notice of her singular wisdom for she loving Jacob her son better then his brother Esau and so did Almighty God who said Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated and when her husband Isack was old and his sight dim for he could not see she heard him call for his Son Esau to him telling him that he was old and knew not the day of his death and so desired him to take his Bowe and go into the field and take him some Venison and to make him savory meat thereof and bring it to him that he might eat and that his soul might bless him before he died wherewith Rebecca acquainted Jacob and charged him to go to the flocks and bring her thence two good Kids of the Goats that she might make pleasant meat of them for his Father such as he loved telling him that then he should bring it to his Father whereof he should eat to the intent that he might bless him before his death which he did accordingly Then Rebecca took some clothes of her eldest son Esau and put them upon Jacob and she covered his hands and the smooth of his neck with the skins of the Kids afterward she put the pleasant meat which she had prepared into the hands of her Son Jacob who brought the same unto his Father and told him that he was Esau his first born and had done as he had bid him desiring him to eat that his Soul might bless him But Jsaac being somewhat jealous and suspitious bid him come near him that he might feel him and ther by know whether he was his son Esau or not and when he had felt him he said the voice is Jacobs voice but the hands are the hands of Esau Afterwards he bid him again come near him and kiss him and he did so then he smelled the savour of his garment and blessed him therefore Esau hated Jacob and thought in his mind The days of mourning for my Father will come shortly then will I stay my brother Jacob which words were told to Rebecca and there with she acquainted her Son Jacob advising him to flee to Haran to her brother Laban and to tarry with him a while untill his Brothers fierceness were swaged and till his wrath were turned away from him and he had forgot those things which Jacob had done unto him promising that she would send and fetch him from thence so soon as it was covenient Next I come to Hannah the Mother Hannah of Samuel who had the like success and reward as Sarah and brought forth her Son and gave him suck and after he was weaned according to a vow which she had made when she prayed earnestly for him with many tears yet her voice was not heard only her lips moved she brought him and offered him to the Lord in whose service he continued all the days of his life Widow of Sareptath Then we come to the good Widdow of Sareptath who though she had only but a handful of meale and a little oyle and she was gathering a few sticks to dress it for her and her Son that they might eat it and die for the famine was sore and all their victuals spent And yet when Elias the Prophet came unto her being very hungry and desired her first of all to make him a little cake which she did accordingly and what was her reward the meale in the barrels wasted not neither was the oyle in the cruse diminished but both lasted and continued and thereby they lived and subsisted even miraculously untill God sent plenty upon the earth Also her only Son being dead was by the Prophet restored unto life Next followeth the good Shunamite Shunamite who was one of the Wives of the Sons of the Prophets and came to Elisha saying Thy Servant mine Husband is dead and thou knowest that thy Servant did fear the Lord and the Creditors are come to take my two Sons and to make them Bond-men and what did the Propher for her thus she having in her house a pitcher of Oyle he bid her get empty Vessels and borrow some which she did and shut the doors upon her and her two sons and poured the oyle from Vessel to Vessel till all were full and called to her Sons for another Vessel they answered there was none left and then and not before the oyle

capitaliter odit Either they will love intirely or hate deadly Lastly Taking notice that almost in every particular County of the Nation where there are Husbands and Wives who live a sunder and do not cohabite yet not for the act of Adultery which is the and the onely cause of Separation but for other sinister respects whereby it is evident that they live in sin and provoke God to wrath and indignation against them and their posterity Therefore I much pitying their cases and having therein in some measure my self been a suffer I shall endeavor by the assistance of Almighty God to open their eyes and convince their judgments of the unlawfulness thereof and manifold inconveniencies arising thereby for it had been better they had never one seen another But I come to my proofs and that out of the Word of God which are both satisfactory and unanswerable First We are to call to minde the solemn promises and engagements they made to their Husbands at the time of their marriage for then the Minister asked them thus Wilt thou have this man to thy weded Husband to live together in the holy estate of Matrimony Wilt thou obey him and serve him love honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all other keeping thee only unto him so long as ye both shall live To which the Woman answered I will Here is an absolute not a conditional promise and that for term of life to live together else there is no obedience nor love c. Next they took their Husbands by the right hand saying after the Minister these words J. A. take thee B. to my wedded Husband To have and to hold from this day forward for better for worse for richer for poorer in sickness and in health To love cherish and to obey till death us depart according to Gods holy Ordinance and thereto I give thee my troth A sacred Obligation and a Knot inviolable during life though sickness or poverty should intervene or any other disaster Moreover the Minister did joyn their right hands together using these words Those whom God hath joyned together let no man put asunder If no man can do it then they themselves cannot much less one of them Also the Minister gave them this Blessing God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Ghost bless you c. and so fill you with all spiritual benediction and grace that ye may so live together in this life that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting No benediction nor grace unless they live together not asunder Then observe the Prayer afterwards one running thus O eternal God Creator and Preserver of all mankinde send thy blessing upon this Man and this Woman that as Isaac and Rebecca lived faithfully together so these persons may surely perform the Vow and Covenant-between them made The Scripture declareth That cursed is he or she who maketh a Vow and performeth it not Another Prayer is thus O God who didst appoint that out of Man Woman should take her begining and by knitting them together didst teach That it should never be lawful to put asunder those whom thou by Matrimony haste made one Grant that this Woman may be loving and amiable to her Husband 〈◊〉 Rachel wise as Rebecca faithful and obedient as Sarah and in all quietness sobriety and peace be a follower of holy and godly Matrons Here is likewise a living together and not putting asunder and obedience prayed for on the Wives behalf as likeliest to Rebecca More out of the Holy Scripture Genesis Chap. 3. It was part of the punishment which God imposed upon you for the transgression of your Grand-Mother Eve 〈◊〉 re●●ing you that your desire shall be subject to your Husband and they shall reigne over you If God hath so appointed and that justly who dare disobey Gen. 24. Chap. verse 55. Rebeccaes Mother and Brother desired that she might stay with them at least ten days before she went to Isaac and the matter being referred unto her she made choice to go presently Whereby it is apparent that the company of a Husband is to be preferred before Mother or Brother or any Friends or Relations whatsoever Numb 13.8 The husband hath power to disallow the vow of the Wife and make it of none effect Whereby it is manifest that his power is very great and much more to intreate or command her Company Deut. 28.56 The delicate Woman who could not set the sole of her foot to the ground for tenderness the Text saith her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her Bosome So that an evil eye towards the Husband is peculiar to a proud wife Job 19.17 Holy Job complained that his breath was strange to his VVife though he intreated c. Job would not have complained for nothing therefore it was a great Judgment Prov. 31.10 12. Who can find a vertuous Woman for her price is above Rubies the heart of her husband doth safely trust in her she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life This cannot be done if they live asunder for then there is doing neither of good nor evil in relation each to other Jer. 3.20 A woman treacherously departeth from her husband so have ye deabt treacherously with me O house of Israel saith the Lord. So that no departing can be without being guilty of Treachery New Testament Mat. 19.6 Our Saviour speaking of Man and Wife saith They are no more twaine but one flesh what therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder A fearful thing to untie Gods knot and them impossible for one to have and the other to want Rom. 7.2 The Woman which hath a Husband is bound by the Law to her Husband so long as he lives So that it is as lawful for an Apprentice to run away from his Master as for a Wife to depart from her Husband without his consent 1 Cor. 7.4 The Wife hath not power of her own body but the Husband How then can the Wife dispose of any thing which is not her own Verse 16. What knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband A strange Salvation likely to be wrought when they live many miles asunder Verse 34. The married Woman careth for the things of the World how she may please her Husband Which is done in nothing more then to live with him if he desire it Verse 10. The Apostle saith I command and yet not I but the Lord Let not the Wife depart from her Husband If the high God command who dare disobey Verse 13.

The Man is not of the Woman but the Woman of the Man neither was the Man created for the Man A fearful thing for the Wife to separate not regarding the end of her Creation for whom she was made Verse 12. The Woman is of the Man but the Man is by the Woman If of the Man how can they part stakes and withdraw Col. 3.18 The Apostle commands Wives to submit to their own husbands Then certainly must dwell with them if they desire it else it is not submission but rebellion the Wife not having power of her own body Eph. 5.23 The Husband is the Head of the Wife even as Christ is the Head of the Church Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ so let Wives be unto their Husbands in every thing Oh that the great God of Heaven and Earth should compare the tye between Husband and Wife to the Mystical Union between Christ and his Church 1 Pet. 3.1 Wives be in subjection to your own Husbands that if any obey not the Word they may without the Word be wone by the conversation of the Wives Conversation and Cohabitation are inseparable companions For how can they converse unless they cohabite FINIS
