the_o better_o keep_v and_o continue_v in_o other_o that_o issue_n and_o flow_v from_o it_o and_o this_o point_n thus_o observe_v may_v first_o serve_v to_o show_v what_o be_v one_o main_a cause_n

for_o d●s●endir_n love_n go_v downward_o duty_n come_v upward_o it_o begin_v with_o the_o inferior_a and_o so_o go_v up_o to_o the_o superior_a the_o wife_n duty_n be_v as_o the_o base_a or_o ground_n that_o the_o husband_n duty_n be_v build_v upon_o it_o be_v that_o that_o must_v draw_v duty_n and_o respect_n from_o the_o husband_n 3.7_o likewise_o say_v the_o apostle_n peter_n let_v the_o man_n

first_o serve_v to_o admonish_v the_o wife_n to_o be_v forward_o in_o performance_n of_o such_o good_a duty_n as_o god_n require_v on_o her_o part_n and_o not_o to_o strain_v courtesy_n and_o stand_v

forcible_a to_o draw_v duty_n from_o he_o in_o a_o word_n the_o wife_n main_a duty_n here_o be_v subjection_n the_o man_n principal_o love_n 4._o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o available_a with_o a_o good_a nature_n to_o extract_v from_o it_o love_v and_o all_o duty_n of_o love_n than_o a_o willing_a subjection_n and_o yield_a issue_v from_o love_n in_o the_o party_n to_o be_v love_v again_o this_o show_v if_o any_o breach_n or_o occasion_n of_o offence_n shall_v arise_v between_o man_n and_o wife_n whither_o be_v to_o seek_v to_o other_o howsoever_o the_o husband_n in_o discretion_n be_v that_o he_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o wise_a and_o the_o woman_n hold_v to_o be_v the_o weak_a as_o 13.8_o abraham_n seek_v to_o lot_n though_o be_v every_o way_n 11.31_o the_o better_a yet_o the_o wife_n be_v in_o duty_n rather_o to_o seek_v reconcilement_n as_o the_o apostle_n impli_v when_o he_o say_v 14._o let_v she_o be_v reconcile_v to_o her_o husband_n and_o as_o we_o see_v it_o hold_v in_o all_o estate_n that_o the_o inferior_a do_v ever_o seek_v and_o sue_v to_o the_o superior_a and_o so_o to_o break_v of_o first_o on_o her_o side_n that_o vacancy_n and_o intermission_n of_o duty_n that_o thereupon_o have_v ensue_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o order_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o matter_n wherein_o concern_v the_o wife_n duty_n first_o propound_v observe_v we_o two_o thing_n the_o main_a duty_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o the_o main_a duty_n on_o the_o wife_n part_n be_v submission_n or_o subjection_n that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n both_o 14.34_o paul_n and_o 5._o peter_n exact_v ever_o on_o her_o part_n for_o the_o reason_n whereof_o in_o general_n no_o other_o need_n be_v render_v then_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n propound_v in_o this_o place_n that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o comeliness_n and_o decency_n 14.33_o god_n be_v the_o god_n as_o of_o order_n and_o peace_n so_o of_o comeliness_n and_o decency_n and_o therefore_o will_v have_v 14.40_o all_o thing_n do_v in_o decency_n and_o in_o order_n but_o that_o the_o wife_n shall_v submit_v and_o subject_v herself_o to_o her_o husband_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n comely_a and_o the_o contrary_a uncomely_a which_o point_n shall_v further_o the_o more_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o superior_a and_o the_o wife_n the_o inferior_a that_o the_o husband_n be_v as_o the_o head_n the_o wife_n as_o the_o body_n or_o the_o rib_n for_o the_o first_o there_o can_v be_v no_o ordinary_a intercourse_n and_o commerce_n or_o converse_v between_o person_n and_o person_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o precedency_n on_o the_o one_o part_n and_o a_o yield_a of_o it_o on_o the_o other_o now_o where_o they_o be_v equal_n there_o may_v be_v some_o question_n some_o difficulty_n whither_o shall_v have_v the_o priority_n and_o they_o take_v it_o common_o as_o it_o fall_v out_o or_o by_o turn_n but_o where_o there_o be_v a_o apparent_a inequality_n there_o it_o be_v without_o question_n that_o the_o inferior_a be_v to_o yield_v to_o the_o superior_a now_o here_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o superior_a and_o the_o wife_n the_o inferior_a as_o the_o apostle_n elsewhere_o prove_v both_o from_o the_o creation_n and_o since_o the_o transgression_n from_o the_o creation_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o order_n manner_n end_v of_o it_o by_o
god_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o 1._o he_o speak_v of_o child_n duty_n in_o the_o latter_a 7.39_o where_o he_o apply_v it_o to_o widow_n marriage_n and_o the_o latter_a follow_v upon_o the_o former_a for_o a_o man_n can_v not_o do_v aught_o against_o god_n will_n or_o word_n out_o of_o obedience_n to_o his_o will_n and_o word_n it_o imply_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n will_v must_v needs_o so_o far_o forth_o be_v do_v according_a to_o and_o not_o against_o his_o word_n or_o will_n the_o former_a i_o take_v here_o to_o be_v the_o direct_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n the_o latter_a by_o way_n of_o consequence_n be_v deduce_v from_o it_o and_o so_o this_o branch_n afford_v two_o point_n concern_v the_o duty_n here_o enjoin_v first_o that_o this_o submission_n for_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o must_v be_v a_o godly_a a_o religious_a a_o conscionable_a submission_n perform_v not_o for_o worldly_a respect_n or_o for_o 3.6_o fear_n of_o wrath_n but_o as_o ●_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o good_a subject_n for_o conscience_n sake_n in_o conscience_n of_o god_n ordinance_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n for_o first_o it_o be_v 4.8_o godliness_n alone_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n both_o of_o this_o life_n and_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n for_o aught_o that_o proceed_v not_o from_o it_o second_o as_o luther_n say_v well_o that_o luther_n the_o first_o commandment_n in_o the_o decalogue_n comprehend_v the_o whole_a because_o therein_o be_v the_o bond_n that_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o whole_a so_o it_o be_v no_o less_o true_a that_o the_o apostle_n james_n tell_v we_o that_o 1.27_o religion_n or_o godliness_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o august_n bond_n of_o all_o obedience_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v and_o practise_v through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n that_o as_o all_o civil_a duty_n be_v to_o 16.14_o proceed_v from_o love_n unto_o man_n so_o they_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v do_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n which_o point_n serve_v first_o to_o show_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o godly_a and_o a_o worldly_a wise_a a_o christian_a woman_n &_o a_o heathen_a a_o faithful_a and_o a_o infidel_n for_o a_o heathen_a woman_n may_v do_v all_o outward_a duty_n that_o a_o christian_a wife_n do_v out_o of_o a_o natural_a or_o carnal_a love_n to_o her_o husband_n or_o out_o of_o a_o desire_n of_o she_o own_o ease_n and_o quiet_a that_o depend_v thereupon_o or_o out_o of_o other_o natural_a and_o civil_a respect_n as_o fear_v of_o anger_n at_o home_n and_o of_o evil_a report_n abroad_o but_o the_o christian_a wife_n do_v all_o on_o a_o further_a ground_n though_o these_o and_o the_o like_a consideration_n also_o may_v make_v she_o the_o more_o careful_a out_o of_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n out_o of_o a_o desire_n to_o please_v god_n &_o to_o approve_v herself_o &_o her_o course_n unto_o god_n as_o the_o heathen_a subject_n serve_v god_n for_o his_o prince_n the_o christian_a subject_n serve_v his_o prince_n for_o god_n so_o the_o heathen_a wife_n obei_v god_n but_o for_o man_n whereas_o the_o christian_a wise_n obey_v her_o husband_n for_o god_n again_o it_o may_v teach_v woman_n how_o to_o behave_v themselves_o in_o these_o duty_n that_o they_o may_v thereby_o gain_v as_o well_o favour_n with_o god_n as_o love_v with_o their_o husband_n at_o home_n and_o a_o good_a report_n abroad_o if_o they_o shall_v do_v all_o in_o obedience_n of_o god_n if_o they_o shall_v do_v all_o 5.22_o as_o unto_o god_n as_o a_o christian_a servant_n 3.23_o serve_v god_n and_o not_o man_n so_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n not_o to_o man_n while_o they_o regard_v god_n in_o their_o husband_n as_o 24._o he_o do_v god_n in_o his_o master_n and_o so_o do_v all_o 6.5_o as_o unto_o god_n because_o they_o do_v 3.22_o all_o for_o god_n and_o for_o conscience_n of_o god_n else_o though_o they_o perform_v all_o outward_a duty_n they_o go_v no_o further_o then_o heathen_a if_o they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o they_o come_v short_a of_o they_o and_o ●●_o if_o they_o expect_v &_o desire_v to_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n they_o must_v go_v beyond_o they_o they_o must_v not_o only_o do_v all_o that_o they_o do_v but_o do_v it_o et●●●_n as_o they_o shall_v do_v do_v all_o for_o god_n &_o then_o they_o do_v it_o to_o god_n for_o as_o 25.40_o they_o relieve_v christ_n in_o the_o poor_a when_o they_o relieve_v they_o for_o christ_n so_o they_o obey_v christ_n in_o their_o husband_n when_o they_o obey_v they_o for_o christ._n not_o regard_v so_o much_o what_o their_o husband_n deserve_v from_o they_o as_o what_o god_n require_v of_o they_o and_o as_o christian_a subject_n submit_v themselves_o ca●_n to_o good_a governor_n as_o unto_o god_n to_o evil_a governor_n for_o god_n or_o rather_o unto_o either_o of_o they_o both_o as_o unto_o god_n and_o in_o god_n so_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o husband_n be_v they_o good_a or_o bad_a deserve_v they_o well_o or_o evil_a of_o they_o as_o for_o god_n and_o in_o god_n and_o unto_o god_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o precept_n and_o enjoinment_n of_o god_n 5.22_o so_o do_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 15_o they_o shall_v be_v
