body_n also_o there_o be_v a_o special_a subjection_n so_o that_o although_o the_o husband_n be_v superior_a in_o authority_n yet_o be_v that_o no_o let_v but_o that_o he_o also_o be_v bind_v too_o his_o wife_n for_o she_o be_v his_o companion_n both_o too_o live_v and_o die_v with_o he_o likewise_o be_v it_o with_o child_n towards_o their_o father_n and_o with_o father_n towards_o their_o child_n each_o one_o in_o his_o behalf_n and_o calling_n as_o subject_n towards_o their_o prince_n and_o superior_n and_o servant_n towards_o their_o master_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o treat_v of_o as_o now_o be_v that_o we_o must_v general_o live_v in_o charity_n one_o with_o another_o indever_v too_o discharge_v the_o duty_n that_o god_n bind_v we_o too_o according_a too_o our_o ability_n and_o therewithal_o not_o de●pyze_v the_o order_n that_o god_n have_v set_v among_o we_o but_o rather_o be_v provoke_v so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o do_v our_o duty_n know_v that_o if_o we_o refuse_v that_o condition_n we_o make_v war_n against_o god._n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o marriage_n which_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n ordain_v by_o man_n we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v solemnize_v in_o his_o name_n and_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v a_o holy_a covenant_n and_o therefore_o do_v it_o call_v it_o divine_a now_o then_o if_o a_o wife_n be_v stubborn_a and_o froward_a and_o can_v find_v in_o her_o heart_n too_o bear_v the_o yoke_n although_o she_o do_v wrong_v too_o her_o husband_n yet_o do_v she_o more_o wrong_v too_o god_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o that_o bond_n shall_v be_v inviolable_a and_o behold_v a_o mortal_a creature_n will_v needs_o break_v it_o and_o pluck_v it_o asunder_o we_o see_v then_o that_o in_o so_o do_v she_o bend_v herself_o against_o god_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o the_o man_n will_v needs_o rule_v after_o his_o own_o like_n and_o fancy_n and_o despise_v his_o wife_n or_o us●_n she_o cruel_o and_o tyrant_o he_o show_v himself_o too_o despyze_n god_n and_o too_o defy_v he_o open_o for_o he_o ought_v too_o know_v too_o what_o end_n he_o be_v create_v what_o the_o state_n of_o wedlock_n be_v and_o what_o law_n god_n have_v set_v in_o it_o the_o thing_n therefore_o which_o saint_n paul_n call_v we_o unto_o be_v that_o in_o all_o state_n we_o shall_v have_v regard_n of_o god_n for_o so_o long_o as_o our_o eye_n rest_v upon_o they_o with_o who_o we_o be_v conversant_a sure_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v excuse_n enough_o &_o too_o many_o to_o exempt_v ourselves_o from_o all_o law_n the_o husband_n may_v allege_v i_o have_v a_o spytfull_a and_o stubborn_a wife_n or_o else_o she_o be_v proud_a and_o coy_a ▪_o or_o have_v a_o wicked_a head_n of_o her_o own_o or_o else_o be_v talkative_a again_o another_o perhaps_o be_v a_o drunkard_n another_o a_o idle_a huzwyfe_n &_o another_o of_o some_o other_o lewd_a

he_o the_o wife_n also_o for_o her_o part_n shall_v not_o be_v unprovided_a for_o now_o and_o then_o her_o husband_n may_v hap_v too_o be_v testy_a and_o riotous_a and_o too_o have_v small_a regard_n wheretoo_o god_n have_v call_v they_o some_o be_v ill_a husband_n and_o hunter_n of_o tavern_n and_o ale_n house_n or_o else_o play_v the_o unthrift_n in_o game_n and_o light_n behaviour_n some_o be_v whoremonger_n some_o glutton_n and_o some_o drunkard_n and_o so_o every_o woman_n may_v pretend_v some_o excuse_n too_o exempt_v herself_o from_o her_o duty_n but_o when_o we_o come_v too_o god_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o cast_v our_o head_n in_o our_o bozom_n for_o it_o will_v not_o boot_n we_o too_o stand_v check_v against_o he_o although_o the_o man_n misbehave_v themselves_o on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o the_o woman_n on_o the_o other_o ▪_o yet_o will_v not_o god_n have_v the_o marriage_n to_o be_v break_v or_o dissolve_v thereby_o save_v the_o divorce_n i_o mean_v which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v but_o the_o outstretch_o vice_n that_o be_v in_o a_o husband_n must_v not_o impeach_v the_o wife_n subjection_n &_o obedience_n unto_o he_o again_o though_o the_o wife_n be_v not_o find_v to_o be_v as_o she_o ought_v too_o be_v yet_o may_v not_o the_o husband_n shake_v she_o of_o and_o rid_v his_o hand_n of_o she_o what_o shift_n soever_o he_o allege_v but_o god_n ordinance_n must_v always_o stand_v firm_a and_o the_o bond_n which_o we_o have_v by_o his_o word_n must_v be_v inviolable_a this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o that_o sentence_n the_o world_n see_v how_o ill_o this_o lesson_n be_v put_v in_o ure_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o root_n of_o the_o mischief_n be_v that_o in_o marriage_n few_o or_o none_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n in_o deed_n god_n name_n shall_v run_v round_o enough_o and_o even_o the_o wicked_a can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o he_o shall_v bliss_n they_o &_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v but_o that_o in_o their_o marry_n they_o put_v themselves_o into_o his_o hand_n and_o guide_n and_o call_v upon_o he_o unfeigned_o that_o be_v no_o point_n of_o their_o meaning_n some_o seek_v wealth_n and_o gain_n and_o othersome_a pleasure_n and_o voluptuousness_n in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o the_o woman_n and_o no_o marvel_n though_o the_o end_n be_v out_o of_o all_o order_n when_o the_o beginning_n be_v so_o out_o of_o square_a for_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v revenge_v on_o his_o part_n when_o he_o be_v so_o light_o esteem_v and_o despise_v therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o mark_v well_o this_o lesson_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o like_a as_o marriage_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n so_o they_o that_o be_v too_o enter_v into_o it_o must_v betake_v themselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o and_o make_v he_o their_o refuge_n know_v that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o bind_v the_o man_n and_o the_o wife_n the_o one_o too_o the_o other_o and_o which_o knit_v they_o together_o and_o therefore_o that_o either_o of_o they_o look_v too_o their_o own_o duty_n whereas_o he_o say_v concern_v wife_n that_o they_o owe_v subjection_n too_o their_o husband_n we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o this_o subjection_n be_v double_a for_o man_n be_v already_o the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n even_o before_o the_o sin_n and_o fall_v of_o eve_n and_o adam_n 13._o and_o saint_n paul_n allege_v the_o same_o reason_n too_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o the_o wife_n shall_v reign_v in_o equal_a degree_n with_o her_o husband_n say_v that_o the_o man_n come_v not_o of_o the_o woman_n but_o the_o woman_n of_o the_o man_n and_o that_o she_o be_v but_o a_o piece_n of_o his_o body_n for_o god_n can_v have_v create_v eve_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v adam_n but_o he_o will_v not_o nay_o rather_o he_o match_v the_o man_n and_o the_o woman_n together_o with_o such_o condition_n that_o the_o man_n know_v his_o wife_n too_o be_v as_o his_o own_o substance_n and_o flesh_n shall_v be_v induce_v thereby_o too_o love_v she_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v again_o hereafter_o and_o that_o the_o wife_n know_v hir●elf_n too_o have_v none_o other_o be_v but_o of_o the_o man_n shall_v bear_v her_o subjection_n patient_o and_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n for_o if_o the_o hand_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n shall_v refuse_v too_o stand_v in_o his_o own_o place_n and_o will_v needs_o settle_v itself_o upon_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o head_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o so_o than_o if_o we_o look_v back_o too_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n the_o husband_n on_o his_o side_n o●ght_n too_o be_v induce_v too_o love_n and_o cherish_v his_o wife_n as_o himself_o and_o the_o wife_n see_v she_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o man_n ought_v too_o submit_v herself_o quiet_o unto_o he_o as_o too_o her_o head_n but_o there_o be_v also_o another_o bond_n 14._o which_o dubble_v still_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o wife_n for_o we_o know_v that_o she_o be_v beguile_v woman_n therefore_o must_v remember_v that_o in_o be_v subject_n too_o their_o husband_n they_o receive_v the_o hire_n of_o eve_n sin_n and_o they_o must_v consider_v that_o if_o marriage_n have_v continue_v sound_a and_o uncorrupt_a there_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o joy_n both_o for_o man_n and_o wife_n for_o know_v that_o thing_n be_v bliss_v of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o shall_v not_o have_v turn_v too_o gladness_n and_o felicity_n but_o now_o
because_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n but_o of_o he_o as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v to_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o extend_v too_o all_o authority_n as_o too_o that_o which_o parent_n have_v over_o their_o child_n husband_n over_o wife_n and_o master_n over_o their_o servant_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v not_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v shuffle_v together_o as_o it_o will_v come_v too_o pass_v if_o there_o be_v no_o restraint_n but_o that_o some_o shall_v rule_v and_o have_v authority_n too_o command_v other_o and_o that_o they_o which_o be_v under_o they_o shall_v obey_v then_o be_v it_o a_o unrevocable_a sentence_n of_o god_n whereunto_o we_o must_v hold_v ourselves_o and_o be_v content_v for_o if_o we_o protest_v ourselves_o too_o be_v willing_a too_o obey_v god_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n will_v needs_o remove_v all_o order_n that_o he_o have_v set_v among_o we_o all_o that_o we_o speak_v with_o our_o mouth_n be_v but_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o we_o must_v give_v a_o proof_n of_o our_o humility_n too_o godward_n by_o our_o willing_a and_o easy_a bear_n of_o man_n yoke_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o hand_n let_v that_o be_v for_o one_o point_n now_o as_o i_o say_v this_o comprehend_v all_o subjection_n as_o well_o of_o people_n towards_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n of_o child_n towards_o their_o parent_n and_o of_o wife_n towards_o their_o husband_n as_o also_o of_o servant_n towards_o their_o master_n and_o when_o we_o once_o have_v that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o too_o withstand_v all_o the_o trouble_n and_o encumbrance_n that_o hinder_v we_o and_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o our_o duty_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o can_v submit_v ourselves_o too_o god_n will_v as_o i_o say_v all_o these_o dispute_n be_v unavailable_a and_o fond_a when_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v why_o be_o i_o bind_v too_o such_o a_o one_o why_o shall_v he_o hold_v his_o foot_n upon_o my_o throat_n who_o have_v give_v he_o more_o authority_n than_o i_o but_o see_v god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o hold_v our_o peace_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v too_o froward_a if_o we_o show_v not_o by_o our_o deed_n that_o we_o be_v willing_a too_o please_v our_o god_n and_o too_o fulfil_v his_o good_a will_n for_o if_o a_o master_n have_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o folk_n in_o his_o house_n he_o shall_v be_v of_o sufficient_a authority_n too_o appoint_v who_o he_o list_v too_o have_v the_o oversight_n of_o it_o and_o they_o must_v be_v obey_v a_o prince_n have_v his_o officer_n and_o they_o must_v command_v and_o other_o must_v harken_v too_o they_o and_o simple_o obey_v they_o and_o what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o when_o our_o god_n who_o be_v the_o soverein_o lord_n and_o father_n &_o have_v the_o right_a of_o pre-eminence_n and_o dominion_n over_o we_o will_v have_v we_o too_o obey_v such_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v without_o make_v any_o reply_n for_o what_o can_v it_o boot_n too_o say_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o print_v this_o counsel_n of_o saint_n paul_n thorough_o in_o our_o heart_n that_o when_o we_o do_v our_o duty_n willing_o and_o unfeigned_o towards_o those_o who_o god_n have_v set_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o we_o serve_v god_n himself_o and_o sooth_o without_o that_o mind_n all_o the_o virtue_n that_o we_o can_v have_v in_o outward_a show_n too_o the_o worldward_n shall_v be_v but_o smoke_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o number_n of_o man_n that_o pretend_v marvellous_o well_o insomuch_o that_o they_o who_o they_o serve_v shall_v be_v content_v tootoo_o well_o with_o they_o but_o although_o such_o deal_n be_v allow_v among_o man_n yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o worth_a before_o god_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v be_v honour_v at_o our_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v man_n too_o enjoy_v their_o right_a in_o such_o wise_n as_o neither_o he_o be_v forget_v nor_o they_o as_o it_o be_v deface_v therefore_o if_o we_o will_v but_o only_o obey_v man_n and_o despise_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v have_v too_o be_v as_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n too_o himself_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v that_o then_o let_v we_o tend_v always_o too_o he_o and_o dedicate_v ourselves_o too_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v underlyng_n let_v we_o bear_v that_o yoke_n willing_o and_o with_o a_o free_a and_o unslavishe_a or_o unconstreyn_v mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v express_o let_v not_o your_o service_n be_v eye_n service_n as_o though_o you_o seek_v too_o please_v man_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o that_o play_v their_o pageant_n so_o fair_a as_o they_o say_v seek_v either_o recompense_n or_o else_o too_o be_v well_o intertain_v and_o feed_v with_o the_o fat_a or_o else_o too_o have_v great_a wage_n and_o afterward_o too_o have_v some_o extraordinary_a gift_n or_o reward_n when_o occasion_n serve_v that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o man_n hunt_v for_o when_o they_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n unto_o god_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o although_o they_o who_o we_o serve_v be_v so_o froward_a as_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o too_o content_v they_o and_o we_o have_v not_o any_o hope_n that_o ever_o we_o shall_v get_v the_o value_n of_o a_o button_n at_o their_o hand_n yet_o we_o must_v nevertheless_o perform_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o here_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o must_v not_o only_o employ_v our_o eye_n our_o foot_n our_o hand_n and_o our_o arm_n as_o they_o say_v but_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o the_o inwar●_n affection_n therefore_o when_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v not_o with_o eye_n service_n he_o show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o desire_v that_o our_o lord_n shall_v allow_v our_o serui●●s_n as_o good_a and_o lawful_a ▪_o our_o heart_n must_v go_v foremost_a and_o guide_v all_o our_o member_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o counterfeit_n accordingly_z as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o regard_v faithfulness_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v deal_v sound_o 6._o plain_o and_o substantial_o thus_o be_v all_o gay_a show_n quite_o dash_v for_o as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v grea●e_a pre●ence_n of_o virtue_n in_o many_o man_n but_o god_n account_v it_o every_o whit_n as_o nothing_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v begin_v too_o serve_v god_n well_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o leave_v dubblenesse_n and_o that_o we_o may_v build_v substantial_o let_v we_o always_o lay_v that_o foundation_n according_o also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o he_o have_v lever_n too_o be_v love_v than_o fear_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o owe_v he_o reverence_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v too_o tre●ble_a at_o his_o majesty_n ▪_o but_o yet_o when_o he_o show_v we_o the_o chief_a thing_n which_o he_o require_v

our_o lord_n require_v this_o willing_a affection_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v resort_v too_o he_o with_o a_o free_a and_o frank_a heart_n think_v we_o that_o he_o accept_v aught_o at_o our_o hand_n when_o we_o come_v too_o he_o grudge_o &_o repyning_o &_o yet_o pretend_v too_o marvellous_a earnestness_n towards_o man_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v we_o will_v always_o have_v this_o back_n nook_n in_o we_o that_o we_o will_v be_v exempt_v from_o the_o obey_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o must_v take_v pleasure_n in_o his_o service_n and_o it_o must_v be_v our_o joy_n and_o delight_v so_o

for_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n for_o we_o can_v reap_v no_o great_a profit_n of_o the_o serve_v of_o creature_n we_o must_v therefore_o resort_v always_o too_o our_o god_n and_o be_o at_o

yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o that_o be_v the_o inferior_a must_v hold_v himself_o still_o under_o the_o yoke_n because_o he_o see_v that_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v it_o that_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n saint_n paul_n forget_v not_o servant_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o procure_v they_o their_o right_n and_o that_o which_o belong_v too_o they_o for_o he_o command_v master_n too_o do_v the_o like_a too_o they_o not_o as_o ma●e_n and_o matelyke_o as_o they_o say_v but_o so_o as_o master_n consider_v that_o although_o though_o the_o civil_a law_n lay_v the_o bridle_n loose_a in_o their_o neck_n yet_o do_v not_o god_n grant_v they_o leave_v too_o do_v what_o they_o listen_v but_o speak_v as_o well_o for_o

such_o recompense_n in_o this_o world_n as_o you_o will_v desire_v let_v it_o suffice_v you_o that_o god_n account_v you_o not_o as_o slave_n it_o be_v true_a that_o you_o be_v despise_v too_o the_o

bind_v we_o unto_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v what_o a_o stateliness_n it_o be_v when_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v what_o owe_v i_o unto_o you_o it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n may_v well_o upbraid_v one_o another_o that_o they_o owe_v they_o no_o duty_n but_o they_o must_v step_v yet_o further_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o lord_n

put_v the_o case_n we_o may_v say_v i_o pass_v not_o for_o thou_o i_o owe_v thou_o nothing_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o god_n who_o be_v our_o head_n for_o when_o he_o do_v put_v we_o into_o
