1_o of_o bend_a knee_n 2_o of_o bare_a head_n 1_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o man_n in_o these_o time_n if_o they_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o christ_n call_v we_o friend_n or_o brethren_n or_o

too_o much_o to_o kneel_v what_o kneel_v do_v guest_n use_v to_o kneel_v at_o the_o table_n do_v wife_n use_v to_o kneel_v to_o their_o husband_n alas_o poor_a silly_a man_n that_o understand_v not_o how_o by_o such_o appellation_n duty_n be_v rather_o command_v than_o any_o relaxation_n grant_v when_o christ_n call_v we_o friend_n he_o enjoin_v we_o love_n when_o servant_n fear_v when_o guest_n confidence_n when_o child_n reverence_n when_o heir_n hope_v for_o none_o of_o these_o will_v he_o have_v himself_o neglect_v or_o our_o duty_n not_o respect_v but_o where_o do_v we_o read_v for_o now_o scriptum_n est_fw-la be_v altogether_o stand_v upon_o where_o do_v we_o find_v that_o wife_n must_v kneel_v to_o their_o husband_n metaphor_n belove_v be_v not_o to_o be_v urge_v beyond_o
