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 his_o church_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o as_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a unto_o christ_n so_o

command_v it_o &_o though_o marriage_n be_v a_o equal_a state_n yet_o the_o carriage_n of_o both_o be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o same_o therefore_o let_v thy_o love_n to_o thy_o husband_n be_v with_o a_o
