before_o he_o be_v bid_v to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n so_o they_o must_v love_v god_n before_o they_o can_v love_v one_o another_o to_o show_v the_o love_n which_o shall_v be_v between_o man_n and_o

it_o be_v not_o marriage_n indeed_o but_o in_o show_n &_o name_n and_o they_o shall_v dwell_v in_o a_o house_n like_o two_o poison_n in_o a_o stomach_n &_o one_o shall_v ever_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o other_o therefore_o first_o that_o they_o may_v love_v and_o keep_v love_n one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o both_o love_n god_n and_o as_o their_o love_n increase_v towards_o he_o so_o it_o shall_v increase_v each_o to_o other_o but_o the_o man_n must_v take_v heed_n that_o his_o love_n towards_o his_o wife_n be_v not_o great_a than_o his_o love_n towards_o god_n as_o adam_n and_o sampsons_n be_v for_o all_o 17._o unlawful_a love_n will_v turn_v to_o hatred_n as_o the_o love_n of_o amnon_n do_v towards_o thamar_n and_o because_o christ_n 37._o have_v forbid_v it_o therefore_o he_o will_v cross_v it_o this_o make_v vriah_n so_o fearful_a lest_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o wife_n shall_v draw_v his_o heart_n from_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o go_v to_o his_o own_o house_n so_o long_o as_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o mourn_v &_o pray_v although_o he_o have_v a_o wife_n which_o fear_v god_n like_o himself_o and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v no_o cheap_a dalliance_n for_o the_o husband_n to_o make_v the_o wife_n or_o the_o wife_n to_o make_v the_o husband_n less_o zealous_a than_o they_o be_v in_o deut._n 13._o the_o wife_n which_o do_v draw_v her_o husband_n from_o god_n be_v condemn_v to_o die_v therefore_o good_a wife_n when_o their_o husband_n purpose_n any_o good_a shall_v encourage_v they_o like_o jacobs_n wife_n which_o 16._o bid_v he_o do_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o they_o see_v they_o mind_v to_o any_o evil_n they_o shall_v stay_v they_o like_o the_o wife_n of_o pilate_n which_o counsel_v her_o husband_n

when_o one_o holy_a have_v find_v another_o than_o god_n seem_v to_o make_v the_o marriage_n and_o his_o angel_n come_v to_o the_o feast_n to_o pass_v over_o sleight_n which_o well_o seldom_o prosper_v unless_o they_o have_v some_o warrant_n the_o best_a policy_n in_o marriage_n be_v to_o begin_v well_o for_o as_o bourd_v well_o join_v at_o first_o sit_v close_o ever_o after_o but_o if_o they_o square_v at_o first_o they_o warp_v more_o and_o more_o so_o they_o which_o be_v well_o join_v be_v well_o marry_v but_o they_o which_o offend_v their_o love_n before_o it_o be_v settle_v fade_v every_o day_n like_o a_o marigould_v which_o close_v her_o flower_n as_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o till_o they_o hate_v one_o another_o more_o than_o they_o love_v at_o first_o to_o begin_v this_o concord_n well_o it_o be_v nature_n necessary_a to_o learn_v one_o another_o nature_n and_o one_o another_o affection_n and_o one_o another_o infirmity_n because_o you_o must_v be_v helper_n and_o you_o can_v help_v unless_o you_o know_v the_o disease_n all_o the_o jar_n almost_o which_o do_v trouble_v this_o band_n do_v rise_v of_o this_o that_o one_o do_v not_o hit_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o other_o heart_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o either_o nature_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o neither_o can_v refrain_v when_o either_o be_v offend_v but_o one_o sharpen_v another_o when_o they_o have_v need_v to_o be_v calm_v therefore_o they_o must_v learn_v of_o paul_n to_o fashion_v 20_o themselves_o one_o to_o the_o other_o if_o they_o will_v win_v one_o another_o and_o if_o any_o jar_n do_v arise_v in_o no_o wise_n divide_v bed_n for_o it_o for_o they_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o their_o wrath_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o reconcilement_n 25._o be_v take_v

who_o be_v good_a husband_n and_o who_o be_v good_a wife_n his_o anger_n must_v be_v such_o a_o mood_n as_o if_o he_o do_v chide_v with_o himself_o and_o their_o strife_n as_o it_o be_v a_o sauce_n make_v of_o purpose_n to_o sharpen_v their_o love_n when_o it_o wax_v unpleasant_a like_o jonathans_n arrow_n which_o be_v not_o shoot_v to_o hurt_v but_o 20._o to_o give_v warning_n know_v once_o a_o

which_o the_o man_n may_v do_v without_o subjection_n the_o man_n be_v to_o his_o wife_n in_o the_o only_o place_n of_o christ_n to_o his_o church_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n require_v such_o a_o affection_n of_o he_o towards_o his_o spouse_n as_o christ_n bear_v towards_o his_o spouse_n for_o he_o say_v husband_n love_v your_o wife_n as_o christ_n 25._o love_v the_o congregation_n that_o be_v with_o a_o holy_a love_n with_o a_o hearty_a love_n and_o with_o a_o constant_a love_n as_o the_o church_n will_v be_v love_v of_o christ._n will_v not_o a_o man_n love_v his_o glory_n why_o paul_n call_v the_o woman_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o man_n for_o her_o reverence_n 7._o make_v he_o to_o be_v reverence_v and_o her_o praise_n make_v he_o to_o be_v praise_v therefore_o he_o which_o love_v not_o his_o wife_n love_v his_o shame_n because_o she_o be_v his_o glory_n in_o ephes._n 5._o 28._o paul_n say_v he_o which_o love_v his_o wife_n love_v himself_o for_o 28._o thereby_o he_o enjoy_v peace_n and_o comfort_n and_o help_v to_o himself_o in_o all_o his_o affair_n therefore_o in_o the_o same_o verse_n paul_n counsel_v husband_n to_o love_v

with_o it_o the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n be_v good_a and_o the_o good_n of_o the_o body_n be_v good_a but_o the_o good_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v better_o as_o paul_n commend_v faith_n and_o hope_v &_o charity_n but_o say_v the_o great_a of_o 13._o these_o be_v charity_n so_o i_o may_v commend_v beauty_n and_o riches_n and_o godliness_n but_o the_o best_a of_o these_o be_v godliness_n because_o it_o have_v the_o thing_n which_o it_o want_v and_o make_v every_o state_n alike_o with_o her_o gift_n of_o contentation_n second_o the_o mate_n must_v be_v fit_a wise._n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v virtuous_a but_o to_o be_v suitable_a for_o diverse_a woman_n have_v many_o virtue_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o fit_a with_o some_o man_n &_o diverse_a man_n have_v many_o virtue_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o fit_a to_o some_o woman_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v many_o time_n even_o the_o godly_a couple_n to_o jar_n when_o they_o be_v marry_v because_o there_o be_v some_o unfitness_n between_o they_o which_o make_v odds_n what_o be_v odds_n but_o the_o contrary_a to_o even_o therefore_o make_v they_o even_o say_v one_o and_o there_o will_v be_v no_o odds_n from_o hence_o come_v the_o first_o use_n of_o the_o ring_n in_o wedding_n to_o represent_v declare_v this_o evennes_n for_o if_o it_o be_v straight_a than_o the_o finger_n it_o will_v pinch_v &_o if_o it_o be_v wide_a than_o the_o finger_n it_o will_v fall_v of_o but_o if_o it_o be_v fit_a it_o neither_o pinch_v nor_o slip_v so_o they_o which_o be_v like_o strive_v not_o but_o they_o which_o be_v unlike_a as_o fire_n and_o water_n therefore_o one_o observe_v that_o concord_n be_v nothing_o but_o likeness_n and_o that_o all_o strife_n be_v for_o unfitness_n as_o in_o thing_n when_o they_o fit_v not_o together_o and_o in_o person_n when_o they_o suit_v not_o one_o another_o how_o be_v god_n please_v when_o 35._o he_o have_v find_v a_o king_n according_a to_o his_o own_o heart_n so_o shall_v that_o man_n be_v

in_o love_n be_v no_o lack_n therefore_o a_o godly_a man_n in_o our_o time_n thank_v the_o lord_n that_o man_n he_o have_v not_o only_o give_v he_o a_o godly_a wife_n but_o a_o fit_a wife_n for_o he_o say_v not_o that_o she_o be_v the_o wise_a nor_o the_o holy_a nor_o the_o humble_a nor_o the_o modest_a wife_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o fit_a wife_n for_o he_o in_o the_o world_n which_o every_o
