be_v contradictory_n to_o his_o own_o law_n except_v this_o or_o the_o imposibility_n of_o the_o thing_n command_v to_o be_v do_v both_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v give_v the_o husband_n authority_n to_o command_v and_o the_o wife_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v however_o unnecessary_a or_o unfit_a she_o may_v think_v it_o to_o be_v otherwise_o say_v bishop_n hopkins_n when_o the_o apostle_n command_v wife_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o husband_n in_o every_o ahing_n it_o will_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o every_o thing_n which_o they_o think_v fit_a and_o this_o certain_o be_v no_o great_a a_o subjection_n than_o every_o husband_n will_v ready_o yield_v to_o his_o wife_n and_o fall_v infinite_o short_a of_o the_o apostle_n intent_n who_o require_v the_o subjection_n of_o the_o wife_n to_o the_o husband_n in_o every_o thing_n as_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a unto_o christ_n which_o certain_o be_v not_o in_o every_o thing_n she_o think_v fit_a neither_o ought_v she_o to_o take_v upon_o she_o to_o judge_n or_o reject_v his_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v they_o and_o though_o this_o duty_n may_v seem_v on_o the_o first_o view_n to_o be_v difficult_a yet_o in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o two_o former_a it_o will_v become_v easy_a and_o pleasant_a love_v your_o husband_n as_o you_o ought_v and_o you_o will_v not_o refuse_v to_o honour_v they_o if_o you_o love_v and_o honour_v they_o you_o will_v not_o scruple_n to_o obey_v they_o and_o if_o you_o love_v honour_n and_o obey_v they_o you_o will_v then_o do_v what_o become_v good_a wife_n and_o indeed_o what_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v at_o lead_v sufficient_a to_o please_v your_o husband_n and_o therefore_o for_o a_o conclusion_n of_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o you_o marry_v woman_n let_v this_o be_v your_o motto_n and_o let_v it_o be_v weave_v with_o thread_n of_o gold_n in_o the_o ornament_n of_o your_o head_n viz._n love_n honour_n and_o obey_v and_o carry_v it_o according_o in_o your_o practice_n towards_o your_o husband_n and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o will_v find_v as_o great_a a_o scarcity_n of_o bad_a husband_n then_o as_o there_o be_v of_o good_a wife_n now_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o improvement_n of_o this_o doctrine_n which_o invite_v i_o to_o apply_v myself_o to_o you_o man_n and_o that_o too_o both_o to_o the_o marry_a and_o unmarried_a first_o to_o you_o that_o be_v single_a and_o unmarried_a you_o may_v from_o this_o doctrine_n learn_v how_o great_a a_o friend_n religion_n be_v to_o the_o comfort_n and_o happiness_n of_o man_n in_o this_o life_n in_o the_o institution_n whereof_o god_n have_v not_o only_o wise_o consult_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o own_o honour_n and_o glory_n but_o have_v gracious_o condescend_v to_o adapt_v its_o precept_n to_o the_o comfort_n and_o happiness_n of_o man_n in_o every_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o life_n you_o be_v now_o single_a but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v design_n of_o alter_v your_o condition_n by_o marriage_n and_o if_o you_o do_v god_n have_v give_v such_o law_n for_o your_o wife_n to_o observe_v as_o will_v if_o due_o regard_v make_v she_o a_o helpmeet_a for_o you_o and_o such_o a_o wife_n it_o behoove_v you_o to_o choose_v if_o ever_o you_o will_v be_v happy_a in_o that_o state_n if_o you_o marry_v a_o carnal_a and_o graceless_a wife_n void_a of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n she_o will_v perhaps_o scoff_n at_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v and_o will_v be_v careful_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o please_v herself_o and_o gratify_v she_o own_o wild_a and_o extravagant_a inclination_n but_o if_o you_o marry_v in_o the_o lord_n i._n e._n if_o you_o marry_v a_o wife_n that_o true_o fear_v god_n and_o life_n in_o a_o habitual_a obedience_n to_o his_o command_n she_o will_v make_v conscience_n of_o love_a honour_v and_o obey_v and_o be_v extraordinary_a careful_a to_o please_v you_o in_o all_o thing_n second_o to_o you_o who_o be_v marry_v you_o have_v hear_v how_o great_a a_o obligation_n be_v lie_v on_o your_o wife_n to_o love_v honour_n and_o obey_v you_o and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o please_v you_o in_o all_o thing_n remember_v that_o their_o duty_n be_v hard_a the_o frailty_n of_o that_o sex_n be_v great_a and_o therefore_o beware_v of_o make_v their_o task_n more_o difficult_a than_o necessity_n do_v require_v or_o than_o their_o nature_n will_v bear_v though_o be_v true_a they_o be_v in_o subjection_n yet_o still_o remember_v they_o be_v part_n of_o yourselves_o and_o therefore_o let_v your_o authority_n be_v unite_v with_o love_n as_o your_o love_n must_v be_v govern_v love_n so_o let_v your_o command_n be_v love_a command_n in_o the_o same_o chapter_n where_o the_o wife_n be_v command_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o her_o husband_n as_o the_o church_n be_v to_o christ_n she_o husband_n also_o be_v command_v to_o love_v his_o wife_n as_o christ_n love_v the_o church_n which_o one_o will_v have_v to_o be_v express_v in_o these_o four_o particular_n first_n by_o bear_v with_o and_o pardon_v her_o weakness_n second_o by_o be_v willing_a to_o submit_v to_o many_o inconvenience_n for_o her_o sake_n three_o by_o interpose_v yourself_o betwixt_o she_o and_o
