On the otherside where this dutie of Gods seruice is not vsed but either for the most part or altogether neglected a man may tearme those families no better then companies of prophane and gracelesse Atheists who as they deny God in their harts so they are knowne by this note that they doe not call vpon the name of the Lord Psalm 14. 4.

only the vse but the bond and couenant of mariage Matth. 19. 9. I say therefore vnto you that whosoeuer shall put away his wife except it be for whoredome and marrie another committeth adulterie c. And yet the same bond may be continued and grow vp againe by the good will and consent of the partie innocent and consequently they may be reconciled and dwell together still 1. Sam. 25. 44. Now Saul had giuen Michal his daughter Dauids wife to Phalti the sonne of Laish which was of Gallim 2. Sam. 3. 14. Then Dauid sent messengers to Ishbosheth Sauls sonne saying Deliuer me my wife Michal which I married for an hundred foreskins of the Philistims The same course may be taken in like cases by the innocent specially vpon the repentance of the guiltie person But yet euery man must be left to his owne conscience and none is to bee compelled to take another from whom hee may iustly bee separated against his will Now in requiring of a diuorce there is an equall right and power in both parties so as the woman may require it as well as the man and he as wel as she The reason is because they are equally bound each to other and haue also the same interest in one anothers bodie prouided alwaies that the man is to maintaine his superioritie and the woman to obserue that modestie which beseemeth her towards the man After the diuorcement made it shal be lawful for the harmelesse partie not hauing the gift of continencie vpon leaue obtained of the Church and the Christian Magistrate to marrie againe But what then shall become of the partie offending Answ. If vpon the hazard of his Conscience in want of the remedie any libertie of second mariage bee to bee granted vnto him by the Church or Ciuill Magistrate as indeed here in England there is not diuers restraints in this Case must be obserued First no such libertie is to be granted so long as the matter remaines vncertaine whether they may be reconciled specially while the partie innocent liueth in single life Secondly it must euidently appeare that the said offending partie hath earnestly rpented him of his sin before he can either be receiued into the Church or admitted to a second mariage Thirdly this liberty is not to be granted him either presently or vnaduisedly but vpon frequent and serious admonition rather to giue himselfe to mourning and lamentation and still to remaine alone then to desire againe to enioy the benefit of that state which he hath alreadie so shamefully abused So much of the first way of performance of due beneuolence The second way is by cherishing one another Ephes. 5. 29. No man euer hated his owne flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it as Christ also doth the Church This cherishing is the performing of any duties that tend to the preseruing of the liues one of another Wherefore they are freely to coÌ„municate their goods their couÌ„sel their labors each to other for the good of themselues and theirs The third way is by an holy kind of reioicing and solacing themselues each with other in a mutuall declaration of the signes and tokens of loue and kindnesse Prou. 5. 18. Reioyce with the wife of thy youth vers 19. Let her be as the louing Hind and pleasant wild goat let her breasts satisfie thee at all times and delight in her loue continually Cantic 1. 1. Let him kisse me with the kisses of his mouth for thy loue is better them wine Gen. 26. 8.

As a yong man marrieth a virgin so shall thy sonnes marrie thee and as a Bridegroome is glad of the Bride so shall thy God reioyce ouer thee This reioycing and delight is more permitted to the man then to the woman and to them both more in their yong yeares then in their old age CHAP. 11. Of the Husband MArried folkes are either husbaÌ„d or wife The husband is he which hath authoritie ouer the wife hereupon in Scripture he is called the guide of her youth Prou. 2. 17. and they twaine being but one flesh he is also the head ouer his wife The duties of the husband towards the wife are these I. To loue her as himselfe Eph. 5. 33. Let euery one loue his wife euen as himselfe Gen. 24. 67. Afterward Isaak brought her vnto the tent of Sarah his mother and hee tooke Rebekah and she was his wife and he loued her so Isaak left mourning for his mother Note how the loue of the husband to the wife mitigates sorrow for the death of the mother He is to shew this loue in two things First in protecting her from danger Gen. 20. 16. And vnto Sarah he said behold I haue giuen 1000. shekels of siluer vnto thy brother behold he is the couering of thine eies amongst all that are with thee Let it be knowne amongst all be thou instructed 1. Sam. 30. 5. Dauids two wiues were taken prisoners also Ahinoam the Izreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite v. 8. Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord saying Shall I follow after this companie shall I ouertake them And hee answered him Follow for thou shalt surely ouertake them and recouer all Secondly in regarding her estate as his owne and prouiding maintenance for her both for his life time and as much as he may for time to come after his death Ephes. 5. 28.

Giuing honor to the woman This honor stands in three things First in making account of her as his companion or yoke-fellow For this cause the woman when she was created was not takeÌ„ out of the mans head because she was not made to rule ouer him nor out of his feet because God did not make her subiect to him as a seruant but out of his side to the end that man should take her as his mate SecoÌ„dly in a wise patieÌ„t bearing or couering of her infirmities as anger waywardnes and such like in respect of the weaknes of her sexe 1. Pet. 3. 7. Giuing honor to the woman as vnto the weaker vessell seeing yee are heires together of the grace of life that your prayers bee not hindred Thirdly by suffering himselfe sometimes to be admonished or aduised by
