what_o s._n paul_n write_v in_o the_o five_o to_o the_o eph●sians_n v_o 22._o wife_n submit_v yourselves_o to_o your_o own_o husband_n as_o unto_o the_o lord_n but_o methinks_v mr._n hobbs_n shall_v answer_v to_o this_o that_o this_o be_v only_o a_o positive_a law_n yet_o i_o can_v reply_v to_o that_o that_o it_o be_v universal_a or_o what_o be_v equivalent_a indefinite_a and_o comprehend_v all_o wife_n but_o then_o go_v further_o and_o read_v the_o apostle_n argument_n in_o the_o follow_a verse_n for_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o wife_n even_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o the_o apostle_n argue_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n first_o that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n submit_v to_o the_o head_n so_o must_v wife_n do_v to_o their_o own_o husband_n then_o this_o be_v exemplify_v from_o christianity_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o headship_n such_o a_o head_n as_o christ_n be_v over_o his_o church_n which_o i_o hope_v no_o christian_n will_v say_v but_o that_o it_o must_v submit_v to_o and_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o i_o hope_v both_o nature_n god_n law_n and_o christian_a duty_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o determine_v this_o controversy_n without_o war_n and_o i_o may_v add_v that_o since_o all_o nation_n have_v consent_v to_o it_o sure_o we_o ought_v not_o now_o to_o demur_v upon_o the_o case_n because_o mr._n hobbs_n interpose_v his_o authority_n with_o little_a or_o no_o reason_n sect_n v._o this_o paragraph_n coutrary_a to_o mr._n hobbs_n his_o principle_n and_o the_o suppose_a institution_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n but_o yet_o most_o true_a not_o from_o mr._n hobbs_n his_o reason_n but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n father_n of_o family_n have_v the_o disposition_n of_o their_o family_n the_o invalidity_n of_o mr._n hobbs_n his_o reason_n his_o example_n of_o the_o amazon_n inconcludent_n he_o proceed_v in_o commonwealth_n this_o controversy_n be_v decide_v by_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o n●t_o always_o the_o sentence_n be_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o father_n because_o for_o the_o m●st_a part_n commonwealth_n have_v be_v erect_v by_o the_o father_n not_o by_o the_o mother_n of_o family_n now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o page_n 03._o but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o the_o father_n rather_o than_o the_o mother_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v erector_n of_o commonwealth_n certain_o if_o commonwealth_n be_v institute_v as_o he_o feign_v by_o the_o general_a suffrage_n of_o all_o who_o have_v interest_n in_o the_o government_n than_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o man_n mother_n as_o well_o as_o father_n have_v the_o management_n of_o that_o business_n for_o they_o have_v their_o interest_n in_o the_o public_a constitution_n as_o well_o as_o man_n but_o he_o have_v let_v fall_v a_o excellent_a truth_n which_o be_v clear_a against_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o his_o politic_n which_o be_v that_o the_o father_n of_o family_n not_o the_o rabble_n be_v the_o erector_n of_o commonwealth_n for_o if_o they_o do_v as_o i_o be_o confident_a with_o he_o here_o they_o do_v than_o his_o former_a discourse_n which_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n by_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o all_o who_o have_v interest_n in_o it_o must_v fail_v for_o not_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n only_o but_o even_o the_o mean_a child_n or_o servant_n may_v challenge_v their_o share_n in_o it_o and_o certain_o the_o father_n of_o family_n can_v not_o be_v the_o erector_n of_o commonwealth_n but_o only_o out_o of_o this_o regard_n that_o they_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o their_o family_n and_o by_o that_o reason_n have_v right_a to_o dispose_v of_o himself_o and_o they_o and_o here_o let_v the_o reader_n consider_v that_o mr._n hobbs_n never_o remember_v that_o great_a authority_n give_v by_o god_n to_o moses_n which_o regulate_v he_o and_o his_o posterity_n many_o generation_n nor_o the_o confirmation_n that_o law_n lay_v from_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v obligatory_a to_o we_o in_o all_o age_n he_o only_a cloud_n the_o truth_n with_o this_o pitiful_a poor_a reason_n or_o rather_o show_v of_o reason_n only_o that_o man_n be_v the_o lawmaker_n and_o they_o be_v partial_a to_o their_o own_o sex_n no_o master_n hobbs_n god_n be_v the_o lawmaker_n who_o be_v no_o accepter_n of_o person_n or_o sex_n but_o in_o a_o infinite_o wise_a manner_n dispose_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o best_a and_o sure_a method_n that_o may_v be_v according_a to_o his_o most_o just_a law_n but_o because_o he_o say_v but_o not_o always_o that_o be_v that_o the_o father_n of_o family_n be_v not_o always_o the_o erector_n of_o commonwealth_n intimate_v that_o some_o commonwealth_n be_v erect_v by_o the_o mother_n of_o family_n i_o shall_v thank_v he_o or_o any_o man_n else_o who_o can_v show_v i_o any_o such_o in_o the_o world_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v fly_v to_o that_o beggarly_a instance_n which_o he_o give_v present_o of_o the_o amazon_n but_o let_v it_o suffice_v for_o they_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o that_o they_o be_v widow_n or_o single_a
