for_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n we_o will_v yet_o add_v two_o duty_n common_a both_o to_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n the_o first_o that_o they_o daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o

they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o impute_v their_o miserable_a estate_n to_o their_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n the_o second_o consist_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o same_o which_o saint_n paul_n teach_v say_v let_v 29._o those_o that_o be_v marry_v be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o marry_v but_o how_o by_o so_o enjoy_v the_o commodity_n and_o contentation_n of_o marriage_n that_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o conjunction_n breed_v no_o divorce_n between_o god_n and_o they_o likewise_o that_o thereby_o they_o be_v not_o hinder_v or_o make_v slack_a in_o any_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o their_o neighbour_n as_o also_o that_o no_o affliction_n depend_v or_o proceed_v of_o marriage_n withdraw_v they_o or_o force_v they_o to_o resolve_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o union_n of_o marriage_n and_o these_o christian_a profession_n that_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n the_o particular_a duty_n of_o the_o husband_n towards_o the_o wife_n be_v first_o to_o protect_v

bear_v with_o her_o infirmity_n and_o not_o by_o and_o by_o to_o enter_v into_o bitterness_n and_o wrath_n colossions_n 3._o 16._o to_o the_o same_o end_n saint_n peter_n exhort_v husband_n to_o behave_v themselves_o discreet_o 7._o and_o with_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n towards_o their_o wife_n he_o require_v of_o they_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o they_o never_o say_v nor_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v just_o offend_v their_o wife_n as_o some_o there_o be_v who_o be_v prodigal_a great_a spender_n or_o idle_a and_o slack_a in_o their_o business_n do_v cause_n their_o wife_n and_o

action_n unworthy_a a_o husband_n do_v provoke_v their_o wife_n and_o so_o stir_v up_o such_o strife_n and_o debate_n as_o do_v convert_v the_o comfort_n of_o marriage_n into_o a_o hell_n see_v therefore_o that_o the_o husband_n be_v head_n he_o ought_v in_o such_o wisdom_n reason_n and_o discretion_n to_o bear_v himself_o that_o he_o give_v his_o wife_n no_o just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n or_o provocation_n yet_o he_o must_v remember_v that_o if_o the_o head_n be_v drink_v the_o whole_a body_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o weak_a government_n even_o ofly_v in_o the_o mire_n second_o that_o albeit_o the_o wife_n shall_v minister_v just_a cause_n of_o grief_n and_o displeasure_n yet_o that_o the_o husband_n shall_v not_o thereof_o take_v occasion_n against_o his_o wife_n infirmity_n or_o enter_v into_o bitterness_n taunt_n or_o disquietness_n but_o discreet_o and_o patient_o bear_v with_o she_o that_o so_o they_o may_v quiet_o and_o love_o live_v together_o the_o hurt_n or_o weakness_n of_o any_o one_o member_n of_o the_o body_n provoke_v not_o the_o head_n to_o wrath_n or_o bitterness_n but_o rather_o to_o compassion_n and_o a_o inclination_n to_o help_v it_o and_o indeed_o whereas_o god_n have_v create_v the_o woman_n the_o weak_a vessel_n as_o saint_n peter_n note_v and_o do_v so_o join_v she_o to_o man_n it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o strive_v with_o so_o frail_a a_o vessel_n shall_v bruise_v and_o break_v it_o but_o that_o by_o gentle_a and_o discreet_a entreat_v he_o shall_v quiet_o enjoy_v the_o help_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o let_v he_o therefore_o after_o the_o counsel_n of_o saint_n peter_n so_o respect_v she_o as_o one_o who_o albeit_o she_o be_v 7._o weak_a be_v nevertheless_o a_o profitable_a vessel_n for_o he_o moreover_o let_v he_o love_v and_o honour_v she_o as_o one_o who_o notwithstanding_o the_o frailty_n of_o her_o sex_n god_n have_v so_o honour_v and_o jesus_n christ_n so_o love_v that_o be_v

being_n more_o base_a and_o the_o other_o more_o strong_a so_o likewise_o shall_v the_o husband_n have_v such_o regard_n of_o the_o frailty_n of_o his_o wife_n that_o he_o may_v bear_v with_o she_o
