by_o since_o there_o be_v many_o duty_n which_o the_o man_n owe_v to_o the_o wife_n as_o well_o as_o love_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o special_a reason_n both_o in_o

duty_n of_o submit_v let_v that_o go_v therefore_o he_o rather_o choose_v to_o call_v upon_o the_o man_n for_o love_n both_o because_o that_o man_n be_v most_o apt_a to_o be_v defective_a in_o this_o and_o likewise_o that_o this_o will_v teach_v they_o how_o to_o use_v their_o authority_n for_o though_o it_o be_v not_o love_v but_o fondness_n which_o 19_o make_v a_o man_n forget_v himself_o and_o that_o power_n god_n have_v give_v he_o over_o the_o wife_n yet_o true_a love_n will_v learn_v he_o to_o exercise_v this_o power_n spare_o mild_o and_o affectionate_o it_o be_v too_o often_o see_v that_o man_n because_o of_o their_o superiority_n insult_v over_o their_o wife_n and_o why_o this_o but_o for_o want_v of_o love_n no_o marvel_n if_o authority_n degenerate_a into_o tyranny_n where_o this_o moderator_n be_v absent_a for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n suppose_v the_o power_n of_o govern_v and_o require_v love_n as_o potestatis_fw-la temperatum_fw-la that_o which_o shall_v temper_v and_o moderate_v the_o use_n of_o that_o power_n 2._o in_o the_o follow_a clause_n s._n paul_n mind_v the_o wife_n of_o reverence_n and_o therefore_o the_o man_n of_o love_n to_o intimate_v that_o his_o expression_n ibid._n of_o love_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o gain_v reverence_n from_o the_o wife_n in_o which_o respect_n the_o scholiast_n say_v excellent_o if_o thou_o

2._o as_o this_o duty_n of_o love_n be_v the_o most_o fit_a to_o be_v here_o mention_v so_o be_v it_o the_o most_o comprehensive_a of_o all_o other_o duty_n so_o that_o in_o name_v this_o he_o imply_v
