although_o god_n blissing_n shine_v forth_o every_o where_o both_o above_o and_o beneath_o yet_o be_v there_o always_o token_n of_o curse_v imprint_v in_o they_o so_o as_o we_o can_v behold_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n but_o we_o may_v partly_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v become_v a_o stranger_n too_o we_o because_o our_o father_n adam_n fall_v from_o that_o noble_a and_o excellent_a state_n whereunto_o he_o be_v create_v afore_o this_o be_v too_o be_v see_v every_o where_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o special_o in_o marriage_n for_o woman_n ought_v too_o feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o man_n feel_v enough_o of_o it_o for_o their_o part_n for_o sure_o if_o eve_n and_o adam_n have_v continue_v in_o the_o righteousness_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o the_o whole_a state_n of_o this_o earthly_a life_n have_v be_v as_o a_o paradise_n and_o marriage_n have_v be_v so_o beautify_v that_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v match_v together_o shall_v have_v live_v in_o such_o accord_n as_o we_o see_v the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n do_v among_o who_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o peace_n &_o brotherly_a love_n and_o even_o so_o have_v it_o be_v with_o we_o therefore_o as_o now_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o curse_a and_o shrewd_a wife_n who_o he_o can_v wield_v by_o any_o mean_n he_o must_v consider_v with_o himself_o lo_o here_o the_o fruit_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o of_o the_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o myself_o and_o the_o wife_n also_o on_o her_o side_n must_v think_v good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v receive_v the_o payment_n that_o come_v of_o my_o disobedience_n towards_o god_n for_o that_o i_o hold_v not_o myself_o in_o his_o awe_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o word_n subjection_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o now_o saint_n paul_n in_o say_v as_o too_o the_o lord_n mean_v not_o too_o make_v man_n equal_a with_o god_n or_o with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o be_v too_o great_a a_o oversight_n but_o he_o show_v that_o the_o fear_n and_o reverence_n which_o a_o woman_n ought_v too_o bear_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o subjection_n which_o she_o owe_v too_o her_o husband_n be_v two_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v put_v asunder_o like_v as_o when_o he_o exhort_v we_o erst_o too_o link_v together_o in_o mutual_a subjection_n 21._o he_o add_v this_o say_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god._n and_o why_o for_o if_o we_o pretend_v too_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o obey_v he_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n reject_v and_o despise_v our_o neighbour_n so_o as_o every_o of_o we_o be_v wed_v too_o himself_o and_o will_v needs_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o law_n and_o rule_n it_o be_v too_o gross_a hypocrisy_n also_o if_o a_o wife_n pretend_v never_o so_o great_a devotion_n and_o seem_v too_o be_v thorough_o season_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v a_o fiend_n so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o scold_v and_o brawl_a and_o wrangle_v and_o such_o other_o thing_n with_o she_o at_o home_n in_o her_o own_o house_n therein_o she_o show_v herself_o not_o too_o have_v one_o spark_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o she_o do_v so_o hold_v scorn_n of_o her_o husband_n who_o be_v her_o head_n and_o as_o it_o be_v god_n lieutenant_n in_o that_o behalf_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o set_v down_o this_o similitude_n too_o match_v husband_n who_o be_v mortal_a creature_n yea_o &_o very_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o equal_a degree_n with_o jesus_n christ_n but_o too_o show_v brief_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v authority_n over_o marriage_n man_n must_v have_v a_o eye_n unto_o he_o and_o every_o person_n submit_v himself_o patient_o because_o no_o man_n can_v refuse_v his_o part_n without_o despize_v of_o he_o which_o will_v have_v wedlock_n maintain_v with_o mutual_a duty_n so_o as_o the_o man_n love_v his_o wife_n and_o the_o wife_n be_v subject_a too_o her_o husband_n that_o be_v the_o pith_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o this_o strain_v now_o then_o let_v wife_n look_v well_o too_o their_o duty_n and_o understand_v that_o when_o they_o contend_v with_o their_o husband_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o will_v reject_v god_n â–ª_o because_o he_o have_v not_o create_v they_o otherwise_o than_o with_o

have_v my_o head_n under_o his_o girdle_n yea_o but_o the_o wife_n that_o do_v so_o sheweth_z that_o she_o be_v loath_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v any_o authority_n over_o she_o and_o will_v fain_o put_v god_n law_n under_o her_o foot_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v none_o other_o shift_n but_o woman_n must_v needs_o stoop_v and_o understand_v that_o the_o ruin_n and_o confusion_n of_o all_o mankind_n come_v in_o on_o their_o side_n and_o that_o through_o they_o we_o be_v all_o forlorn_a and_o accursed_a and_o banish_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n when_o woman_n say_v i_o do_v

again_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v deadly_a now_o when_o they_o do_v so_o make_v war_n against_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n what_o can_v come_v of_o it_o but_o utter_a confusion_n but_o the_o

the_o husband_n think_v upon_o their_o duty_n for_o although_o to_o speak_v proper_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o their_o wife_n because_o their_o wife_n have_v no_o authority_n over_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o advance_v too_o that_o honour_n of_o superiority_n with_o certain_a condition_n namely_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v cruel_a towards_o their_o wife_n nor_o think_v all_o thing_n

and_o therefore_o that_o either_o of_o they_o look_v too_o their_o own_o duty_n whereas_o he_o say_v concern_v wife_n that_o they_o owe_v subjection_n too_o their_o husband_n we_o have_v too_o mark_n

for_o we_o know_v that_o she_o be_v beguile_v woman_n therefore_o must_v remember_v that_o in_o be_v subject_n too_o their_o husband_n they_o receive_v the_o hire_n of_o eve_n sin_n and_o they_o must_v consider_v that_o if_o marriage_n have_v continue_v sound_a and_o uncorrupt_a there_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o joy_n both_o for_o man_n and_o wife_n for_o know_v that_o thing_n be_v bliss_v

of_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o majesty_n too_o the_o end_n too_o abase_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_n for_o our_o sake_n so_o then_o it_o be_v enough_o too_o meeken_fw-ge the_o heart_n both_o

as_o shall_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o end_n and_o have_v be_v partly_o declare_v already_o the_o husband_n be_v in_o deed_n the_o head_n but_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o body_n and_o whereas_o the_o

do_v saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v abide_v in_o the_o state_n that_o god_n have_v put_v they_o in_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o subjection_n and_o that_o they_o must_v not_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o prepare_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_n too_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n as_o we_o may_v stand_v obedient_o in_o battle_n ray_n too_o resist_v all_o temptation_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v much_o ado_n too_o bring_v it_o too_o pass_v ▪_o but_o yet_o will_v god_n be_v strong_a so_o we_o pray_v he_o too_o govern_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a

as_o they_o can_v not_o be_v blame_v for_o it_o saint_n paul_n then_o counsel_v master_n too_o assuage_v the_o excess_n of_o their_o superiority_n but_o yet_o will_v he_o have_v their_o servant_n too_o submit_v themselves_o too_o it_o and_o too_o bear_v the_o yoke_n that_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o heavy_a now_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o he_o do_v servant_n wrong_v therein_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v cry_v out_o against_o the_o common_a abuse_n that_o such_o outrage_n may_v have_v be_v lay_v down_o but_o we_o have_v two_o principle_n to_o remember_v to_o restrain_v we_o from_o attempt_v of_o any_o change_n the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o have_v be_v god_n will_v too_o put_v maynkynd_n into_o confusion_n and_o that_o all_o man_n both_o great_a and_o

that_o it_o come_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v take_v it_o patient_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n serve_v not_o too_o change_v the_o common_a policy_n of_o the_o

and_o too_o frame_v themselves_o unto_o his_o word_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o liberty_n too_o make_v such_o law_n as_o they_o shall_v perceive_v too_o be_v

exhort_v servant_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o fear_n and_o tremble_a that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o reverence_n yea_o and_o he_o add_v further_o with_o singleness_n of_o
