A05259	The mothers blessing. Or The godly counsaile of a gentle-woman not long since deceased, left behind her for her children containing many good exhortations, and godly admonitions, profitable for all parents to leaue as a legacy to their children, but especially for those, who by reason of their young yeeres stand most in need of instruction.

2.18_o wherefore_o bring_v up_o your_o daughter_n as_o susanna_n parent_n bring_v up_o she_o teach_v they_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n continual_o and_o always_o persuade_v they_o to_o embrace_v this_o virtue_n of_o chastity_n it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o of_o you_o will_v marvel_v since_o i_o set_v down_o name_n for_o the_o imitation_n of_o their_o virtue_n that_o bear_v they_o why_o i_o place_v not_o mary_n in_o the_o first_o place_n a_o woman_n virtuous_a above_o all_o other_o woman_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o i_o presume_v that_o there_o be_v no_o woman_n so_o senseless_a as_o not_o to_o look_v what_o a_o blessing_n god_n have_v send_v to_o we_o woman_n through_o that_o gracious_a virgin_n by_o who_o it_o please_v god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o shame_n which_o eve_n our_o grandmother_n have_v bring_v we_o to_o for_o before_o man_n may_v say_v the_o woman_n beguile_v i_o and_o i_o do_v eat_v the_o poison_a fruit_n of_o disobedience_n and_o i_o die_v but_o now_o man_n may_v say_v if_o he_o say_v true_o the_o woman_n bring_v i_o a_o saviour_n and_o i_o feed_v of_o he_o by_o faith_n and_o live_v here_o be_v this_o great_a and_o woeful_a shame_n take_v from_o woman_n by_o god_n work_v in_o a_o woman_n man_n can_v claim_v no_o part_n in_o it_o the_o shame_n be_v take_v from_o we_o and_o from_o our_o posterity_n for_o ever_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n have_v take_v down_o the_o serpent_n head_n 3.15_o and_o now_o whosoever_o can_v take_v hold_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n by_o faith_n shall_v sure_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o all_o generation_n shall_v say_v that_o she_o be_v bless_v who_o bring_v we_o a_o saviour_n the_o fruit_n of_o obedience_n that_o whosoever_o feed_v of_o shall_v live_v forever_o and_o except_o they_o feed_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n they_o have_v no_o life_n will_v not_o therefore_o all_o woman_n seek_v out_o this_o great_a grace_n of_o god_n 53_o that_o by_o mary_n have_v take_v away_o the_o shame_n which_o before_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o ever_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n marry_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o all_o goodness_n and_o yet_o be_v call_v the_o bless_a virgin_n as_o if_o our_o god_n shall_v as_o he_o do_v indeed_o in_o brief_a comprehend_v all_o other_o virtue_n under_o this_o one_o virtue_n of_o chastity_n wherefore_o i_o desire_v that_o all_o woman_n what_o name_n so_o ever_o they_o bear_v woule_n learn_v of_o this_o bless_a virgin_n to_o be_v chaste_a for_o though_o she_o be_v more_o replenish_v with_o grace_n then_o any_o other_o and_o more_o free_o belove_v of_o the_o lord_n yet_o the_o great_a title_n that_o she_o have_v be_v that_o she_o be_v a_o bless_a and_o pure_a virgin_n which_o be_v a_o great_a cause_n to_o move_v all_o woman_n whether_o they_o be_v maid_n or_o wife_n both_o which_o estate_n she_o honour_v to_o live_v chaste_o to_o who_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n have_v give_v a_o cold_a and_o temperate_a disposition_n &_o bind_v they_o with_o these_o word_n thy_o desire_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o thy_o husband_n 3.6_o as_o if_o god_n in_o mercy_n to_o woman_n shall_v say_v you_o of_o yourselves_o shall_v have_v no_o desire_n only_o they_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o your_o husband_n which_o ch_n have_v be_v verify_v in_o heathen_a woman_n so_o as_o it_o be_v almost_o incredible_a to_o be_v believe_v for_o many_o of_o they_o before_o they_o will_v be_v defile_v have_v be_v careless_a of_o their_o life_n and_o so_o have_v endure_v all_o those_o torment_n that_o man_n will_v devise_v to_o inflict_v upon_o they_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v lose_v the_o name_n of_o a_o modest_a maid_n or_o a_o chaste_a matron_n yea_o and_o so_o far_o they_o have_v be_v from_o consent_v to_o any_o immodesty_n that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o have_v be_v ravish_v they_o have_v either_o make_v away_o themselves_o or_o at_o least_o have_v separate_v themselves_o from_o company_n not_o think_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o any_o society_n after_o they_o have_v once_o be_v deflower_v though_o against_o their_o will_n wherefore_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n be_v worse_a than_o a_o beast_n because_o it_o desire_v but_o for_o nature_n and_o she_o to_o satisfy_v her_o corrupt_a lust_n some_o of_o the_o father_n have_v write_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o woman_n to_o be_v chaste_a but_o even_o so_o to_o behave_v herself_o that_o no_o man_n may_v think_v or_o deem_v she_o to_o be_v unchaste_a we_o read_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o there_o be_v war_n between_o the_o christian_n and_o the_o pagan_n if_o at_o any_o time_n the_o pagan_n have_v get_v the_o victory_n that_o then_o they_o will_v seek_v to_o deflower_v the_o virgin_n to_o the_o which_o sin_n before_o the_o christian_n will_v yield_v they_o will_v continual_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o themselves_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n be_v oftentime_o constrain_v to_o make_v diverse_a sermon_n and_o oration_n to_o they_o to_o dissuade_v they_o from_o that_o cruelty_n which_o they_o inflict_v upon_o themselves_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v deflower_v such_o a_o disgrace_n do_v they_o think_v it_o to_o have_v but_o one_o spot_n of_o uncleanness_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o these_o be_v so_o holy_a as_o this_o mary_n this_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a virgin_n some_o godly_a and_o reverend_a man_n of_o the_o church_n have_v gather_v this_o that_o there_o be_v five_o woman_n of_o great_a virtue_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n the_o first_o letter_n of_o who_o name_n do_v make_v her_o whole_a name_n to_o show_v that_o she_o have_v all_o their_o virtue_n whole_o combine_v in_o she_o as_o namely_o michal_n abigail_n rachel_n judith_n &_o anna_n 12._o she_o be_v as_o faithful_a to_o her_o husband_n as_o michal_n who_o save_v her_o husband_n david_n from_o the_o fury_n of_o saul_n although_o he_o be_v her_o father_n and_o her_o king_n not_o prefer_v she_o own_o life_n before_o the_o safety_n of_o her_o husband_n 3._o she_o be_v as_o wise_a as_o abigail_n who_o be_v high_o commend_v for_o her_o wisdom_n amiable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o her_o husband_n as_o rachel_n 29.17_o stout_a and_o magnanimous_a in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n as_o judith_n patient_a and_o zealous_a in_o prayer_n 10.11_o as_o anna._n see_v then_o that_o by_o this_o one_o name_n so_o many_o virtue_n be_v call_v to_o remembrance_n i_o think_v it_o meet_v that_o good_a name_n be_v give_v to_o all_o woman_n that_o they_o may_v call_v to_o mind_v the_o virtue_n of_o those_o woman_n who_o name_n they_o bear_v but_o especial_o above_o all_o other_o moral_a virtue_n let_v woman_n be_v persuade_v by_o this_o discourse_n to_o embrace_v chastity_n without_o which_o we_o be_v mere_a beast_n and_o no_o woman_n chap._n 10._o reason_n of_o give_v good_a name_n to_o child_n if_o you_o shall_v think_v i_o too_o tedious_a about_o the_o name_v your_o child_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o have_v some_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o the_o first_o be_v this_o to_o make_v they_o read_v in_o the_o bible_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v of_o those_o saint_n and_o learn_v to_o imitate_v their_o virtue_n second_o because_o many_o have_v make_v a_o god_n of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n the_o scripture_n warrant_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o have_v pray_v to_o she_o though_o there_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n yea_o and_o a_o comfort_n to_o all_o woman_n for_o she_o have_v take_v away_o the_o reproach_n w_z ch_z of_o right_n belong_v unto_o we_o and_o by_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n we_o be_v all_o save_v it_o be_v therefore_o fit_a i_o shall_v speak_v large_o of_o that_o name_n three_o see_v many_o have_v heretofore_o and_o now_o do_v make_v image_n of_o saint_n to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o so_o by_o little_a and_o little_o have_v at_o last_o worship_v the_o work_n of_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o for_o fear_n of_o forget_v the_o saint_n have_v forget_v the_o second_o commandment_n i_o think_v it_o better_a to_o have_v you_o remember_v they_o by_o bear_v their_o name_n and_o by_o read_v what_o they_o teach_v we_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o how_o they_o lead_v their_o life_n then_o by_o look_v upon_o a_o paint_a piece_n of_o paper_n or_o a_o carve_a stone_n and_o this_o by_o the_o way_n may_v be_v marvel_v at_o that_o they_o which_o love_n to_o worship_v image_n never_o love_v to_o name_v their_o child_n after_o the_o name_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o if_o they_o have_v so_o do_v by_o this_o time_n we_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o other_o name_n but_o
