as_o shall_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o end_n and_o have_v be_v partly_o declare_v already_o the_o husband_n be_v in_o deed_n the_o head_n but_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o body_n and_o whereas_o the_o

by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v they_o here_o namely_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o heathen_a folk_n shall_v rise_v up_o to_o give_v witness_n against_o they_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o order_n of_o nature_n teach_v they_o what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v so_o that_o if_o they_o live_v not_o in_o concord_n and_o friendship_n as_o be_v show_v

the_o husband_n consider_v how_o he_o ought_v too_o bear_v with_o his_o wife_n how_o he_o ought_v too_o guide_v she_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o how_o he_o ought_v too_o love_v she_o as_o a_o

of_o all_o this_o but_o if_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v i_o say_v the_o common_a and_o most_o ordinary_a state_n be_v that_o in_o every_o house_n a_o man_n shall_v find_v devilishness_n curse_v

be_v not_o devilish_a neither_o serve_v it_o too_o make_v man_n like_o brute_n beast_n but_o too_o maintain_v good_a order_n and_o government_n but_o the_o woman_n on_o their_o side_n do_v for_o the_o

must_v not_o once_o be_v name_v among_o we_o and_o likewise_o do_v he_o say_v of_o covetousness_n for_o every_o man_n take_v it_o for_o a_o virtue_n if_o he_o can_v pill_v and_o poll_v all_o his_o life_n long_o and_o never_o leave_v rake_v of_o other_o man_n good_n too_o he_o by_o fraud_n and_o extorsion_n yea_o and_o man_n have_v a_o delight_n too_o follow_v they_o and_o too_o say_v oh_o such_o a_o man_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n can_v well_o skill_n too_o use_v such_o a_o practyze_n and_o such_o a_o trick_n true_a it_o be_v that_o covetous_a folk_n will_v not_o speak_v so_o of_o they_o who_o they_o malice_n for_o they_o will_v say_v that_o villain_n he_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o catch_n and_o scrape_v on_o all_o side_n there_o be_v no_o trust_n in_o he_o he_o be_v cruel_a and_o churlish_a and_o too_o be_v short_a every_o of_o they_o spite_v at_o his_o fellow_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o the_o covetous_a sort_n do_v rail_v one_o upon_o another_o but_o when_o a_o covetous_a person_n intend_v too_o confirm_v himself_o in_o his_o naughtiness_n and_o too_o harden_v himself_o in_o it_o and_o too_o cover_v his_o fault_n he_o will_v say_v it_o be_v meet_v that_o a_o

behind_o he_o if_o he_o leave_v not_o skin_n and_o all_o thus_o do_v covetous_a folk_n shroud_v themselves_o in_o spoil_v man_n under_o pretence_n of_o good_a thriftiness_n as_o they_o term_v it_o that_o be_v too_o say_v under_o pill_v and_o poll_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n therefore_o we_o see_v how_o needful_a this_o exhortation_n of_o s._n paul_n be_v where_o he_o say_v that_o

be_v certain_a that_o whoredom_n must_v needs_o grow_v lawful_a among_o man_n when_o they_o suffer_v such_o provocation_n and_o occasion_n of_o naughtiness_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o

where_o such_o lightness_n and_o lewdness_n have_v full_a scope_n by_o and_o by_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o brothelry_n or_o stew_n set_v up_o not_o in_o some_o one_o corner_n of_o a_o city_n

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

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

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

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

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

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
although_o god_n blissing_n shine_v forth_o every_o where_o both_o above_o and_o beneath_o yet_o be_v there_o always_o token_n of_o curse_v imprint_v in_o they_o so_o as_o we_o can_v behold_v

of_o the_o bone_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o his_o flesh_n and_o member_n of_o his_o body_n for_o he_o be_v descend_v of_o adam_n lineage_n 3._o and_o be_v call_v the_o seed_n of_o

do_v saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v abide_v in_o the_o state_n that_o god_n have_v put_v they_o in_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o subjection_n and_o that_o they_o must_v not_o
