thy_o house_n thy_o child_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o young_a spring_n of_o the_o olive_n about_o thy_o table_n lo_o thus_o shall_v that_o man_n be_v bless_v say_v david_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n this_o let_v the_o wife_n have_v ever_o in_o mind_n the_o rather_o admonish_v thereto_o by_o the_o apparel_n of_o her_o head_n whereby_o be_v signify_v that_o she_o be_v under_o covert_n or_o obedience_n of_o her_o husband_n and_o as_o that_o apparel_n be_v of_o nature_n so_o appoint_v to_o declare_v her_o subjection_n so_o bid_v st._n paul_n that_o all_o other_o of_o her_o raiment_n shall_v express_v both_o shamefacedness_n and_o sobriety_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o woman_n to_o have_v her_o head_n bare_a but_o to_o bear_v thereon_o the_o sign_n of_o her_o power_n wheresoever_o she_o go_v more_o be_v it_o require_v that_o she_o declare_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v thereby_o and_o therefore_o those_o ancient_a woman_n of_o the_o old_a world_n call_v their_o husband_n lord_n and_o show_v they_o reverence_n in_o obey_v they_o but_o peradventure_o she_o will_v say_v that_o those_o man_n love_v their_o wife_n indeed_o i_o know_v that_o well_o enough_o and_o bear_v it_o well_o in_o mind_n but_o when_o i_o do_v admonish_v you_o of_o your_o duty_n then_o call_v not_o to_o consideration_n what_o their_o duty_n be_v for_o when_o we_o ourselves_o do_v teach_v our_o child_n to_o obey_v we_o as_o their_o parent_n or_o when_o we_o reform_v our_o servant_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v obey_v their_o master_n not_o only_o at_o the_o eye_n but_o as_o the_o lord_n if_o they_o shall_v tell_v we_o again_o our_o duty_n we_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o well_o do_v for_o when_o we_o be_v admonish_v of_o our_o duty_n and_o fault_n we_o ought_v not_o then_o to_o seek_v what_o other_o man_n duty_n be_v for_o though_o a_o man_n have_v a_o companion_n in_o his_o fault_n yet_o shall_v he_o not_o thereby_o be_v without_o his_o fault_n but_o this_o must_v be_v only_o look_v on_o by_o what_o mean_v thou_o may_v make_v thyself_o without_o blame_n for_o adam_n do_v lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o the_o woman_n and_o she_o turn_v it_o unto_o the_o serpent_n but_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v thus_o excuse_v and_o therefore_o bring_v not_o such_o excuse_n to_o i_o at_o this_o time_n but_o apply_v all_o thy_o diligence_n to_o hear_v thy_o obedience_n to_o thy_o husband_n for_o when_o i_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o admonish_v thy_o husband_n to_o love_v thou_o and_o to_o cherish_v thou_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o cease_v to_o set_v out_o the_o law_n that_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o i_o will_v require_v of_o the_o man_n what_o be_v write_v for_o his_o law_n go_v thou_o therefore_o about_o such_o thing_n as_o become_v thou_o only_o and_o show_v thyself_o tractable_a to_o thy_o husband_n or_o rather_o if_o thou_o will_v obey_v thy_o husband_n for_o god_n precept_n then_o allege_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o his_o duty_n to_o do_v but_o perform_v thou_o diligent_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o lawmaker_n have_v charge_v thou_o to_o do_v for_o thus_o be_v it_o most_o reasonable_a to_o obey_v god_n if_o thou_o will_v not_o suffer_v thyself_o to_o transgress_v his_o law_n he_o that_o love_v his_o friend_n seem_v to_o do_v no_o great_a thing_n but_o he_o that_o honour_v that_o be_v hurtful_a and_o hateful_a to_o he_o this_o man_n be_v worthy_a most_o commendation_n even_o so_o think_v you_o if_o thou_o can_v suffer_v a_o extreme_a husband_n thou_o shall_v have_v a_o great_a reward_n therefore_o but_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o only_o because_o he_o be_v courteous_a what_o reward_n will_v god_n give_v thou_o therefore_o yet_o i_o speak_v not_o these_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v wish_v the_o husband_n to_o be_v sharp_a towards_o their_o wife_n but_o i_o exhort_v the_o woman_n that_o they_o will_v patient_o bear_v the_o sharpness_n of_o their_o husband_n for_o when_o either_o party_n do_v their_o best_a to_o perform_v their_o duty_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o then_o follow_v thereon_o great_a profit_n to_o their_o neighbour_n for_o their_o example_n sake_n for_o when_o the_o woman_n be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v a_o sharp_a husband_n and_o the_o man_n will_v not_o extreme_o entreat_v his_o stubborn_a and_o troublesome_a wife_n then_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o quiet_a as_o in_o a_o most_o sure_a haven_n even_o thus_o be_v it_o do_v in_o old_a time_n that_o every_o one_o do_v their_o own_o duty_n and_o office_n and_o be_v not_o busy_a to_o require_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o neighbour_n consider_v i_o pray_v thou_o that_o abraham_n take_v to_o he_o his_o brother_n son_n his_o wife_n do_v not_o blame_v he_o therefore_o he_o command_v he_o to_o go_v with_o he_o a_o long_a journey_n she_o do_v not_o gainsay_v it_o but_o obey_v his_o precept_n again_o after_o all_o those_o great_a misery_n labour_n and_o pain_n of_o that_o journey_n when_o abraham_n be_v make_v as_o lord_n over_o all_o yet_o do_v he_o give_v place_n to_o lot_n of_o his_o superiority_n which_o matter_n sarah_n take_v so_o little_a to_o grief_n that_o she_o never_o once_o suffer_v her_o tongue_n to_o speak_v such_o word_n as_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o woman_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v in_o these_o day_n when_o they_o see_v their_o husband_n in_o such_o room_n to_o be_v make_v underling_n and_o to_o be_v put_v under_o their_o youngers_n then_o they_o upbraid_v they_o with_o cumbrous_a talk_n and_o call_v they_o fool_n dastard_n and_o coward_n for_o so_o do_v but_o sarah_n be_v so_o far_o from_o speak_v any_o such_o thing_n that_o it_o come_v never_o into_o her_o mind_n &_o thought_n so_o to_o say_v but_o allow_v the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o her_o husband_n yea_o beside_o all_o this_o after_o the_o say_a lot_n have_v thus_o his_o will_n and_o leave_v to_o his_o uncle_n the_o less_o portion_n of_o land_n he_o chance_v to_o fall_v into_o extreme_a peril_n which_o chance_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o say_a patriarch_n he_o incontinent_o put_v all_o his_o man_n in_o harness_n and_o prepare_v himself_o with_o all_o his_o family_n and_o friend_n against_o the_o host_n of_o the_o persian_n in_o which_o case_n sarah_n do_v not_o counsel_v he_o to_o the_o contrary_a nor_o do_v say_v as_o then_o may_v have_v be_v say_v my_o husband_n whither_o go_v thou_o so_o unadvised_o why_o run_v thou_o thus_o on_o head_n why_o do_v thou_o offer_v thyself_o to_o so_o great_a peril_n and_o be_v thus_o ready_a to_o jeopard_v thy_o own_o life_n and_o to_o peril_n the_o life_n of_o all_o thou_o for_o such_o a_o man_n as_o have_v do_v thou_o such_o wrong_n at_o the_o least_o way_n if_o thou_o regard_v not_o thyself_o yet_o have_v compassion_n on_o i_o which_o for_o thy_o love_n have_v forsake_v my_o kindred_n and_o my_o country_n and_o have_v the_o want_n both_o of_o my_o friend_n and_o kinsfolk_n and_o be_o thus_o come_v into_o so_o far_a country_n with_o thou_o have_v pity_n on_o i_o and_o make_v i_o not_o here_o a_o widow_n to_o cast_v i_o into_o such_o care_n and_o trouble_n thus_o may_v she_o have_v say_v but_o sarah_n neither_o say_v nor_o think_v such_o word_n but_o she_o keep_v herself_o in_o silence_n in_o a●l_a thing_n furthermore_o all_o that_o time_n when_o she_o be_v barren_a and_o take_v no_o pain_n as_o other_o woman_n do_v by_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o his_o house_n what_o do_v he_o he_o complain_v not_o to_o his_o wife_n but_o to_o almighty_a god_n and_o consider_v how_o either_o of_o they_o do_v their_o duty_n as_o become_v they_o for_o neither_o do_v he_o despise_v sarah_n because_o she_o be_v barren_a nor_o never_o do_v cast_v it_o in_o her_o tooth_n consider_v again_o how_o abraham_n expel_v the_o handmaid_n out_o of_o the_o house_n when_o she_o require_v it_o so_o that_o by_o this_o i_o may_v true_o prove_v that_o the_o one_o be_v please_v and_o content_v with_o the_o other_o in_o all_o thing_n but_o yet_o set_v not_o your_o eye_n only_o on_o this_o matter_n but_o look_v further_a what_o be_v do_v before_o this_o that_o hagar_n use_v her_o mistress_n despiteful_o and_o that_o abraham_n himself_o be_v somewhat_o provoke_v against_o she_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o intolerable_a matter_n and_o a_o painful_a to_o a_o free-hearted_a woman_n and_o a_o chaste_a let_v not_o therefore_o the_o woman_n be_v too_o busy_a to_o call_v for_o the_o duty_n of_o her_o husband_n where_o she_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o perform_v she_o own_o for_o that_o be_v not_o worthy_a any_o great_a commendation_n and_o even_o so_o again_o let_v not_o the_o man_n only_o consider_v what_o belong_v to_o the_o woman_n and_o to_o stand_v too_o earnest_o gaze_v thereon_o
