perfect_a yes_o nevertheless_o the_o apostle_n add_v this_o for_o very_o good_a reason_n because_o that_o this_o be_v most_o sensible_a and_o so_o best_a perceive_v for_o a_o man_n that_o know_v not_o

these_o pattern_n as_o they_o be_v motive_n and_o reason_n to_o stir_v up_o husband_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o duty_n where_o first_o we_o see_v that_o the_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o example_n which_o many_o time_n be_v of_o more_o force_n to_o persuade_v than_o reason_n and_o therefore_o here_o the_o apostle_n make_v choice_n of_o they_o but_o among_o example_n what_o do_v move_v we_o more_o than_o those_o of_o great_a man_n now_o who_o be_v great_a than_o christ_n beside_o that_o his_o example_n be_v also_o a_o rule_n of_o perfection_n that_o we_o may_v see_v the_o weight_n of_o this_o argument_n two_o point_n be_v to_o be_v note_v 1_o the_o great_a disparity_n that_o be_v between_o the_o church_n and_o christ_n which_o appear_v in_o two_o branch_n 1_o the_o greatness_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v in_o scriptâ—â—e_n compare_v 1_o to_o creature_n so_o he_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o excellent_a of_o they_o all_o namely_o the_o angel_n philip._n 2.9_o ephes_n

to_o this_o example_n of_o christ_n because_o that_o it_o wipe_v away_o all_o pretence_n that_o man_n usual_o bring_v for_o their_o not_o love_v of_o their_o wife_n as_o 1_o some_o will_v say_v that_o
