to doe euery thing so as may please their husband and giue him contentment and a care to shun and auoid whatsoeuer may d●splease him or minister discontentment vnto him Where those w●ues come to be taxed and not vniustly condemned that regard not at all their husbands pleasure but their owne selfe will onely If he will be pleased let him if he will not choose him it is a ● o●e to them he hath his mends in his hands This is not to cut out the worke by the role but the rule by the worke to make the wiues will the rule of the husbands will whereas God hath appointed the husbands will to be the rule square of the wiues will not the wiues of his And as Peter saith of seruants that they are to apply themselues euen to their crooked masters so here though the hu●band● will shall be crooked so it be not wicked the wiues will is not straight in Gods sight if it be not pliable to his What shall we say of them that loue to swim as we say with the trout against the streame that will doe things of purpose to crosse their husbands what they know that they can not or will not like of This is not to cut out the worke according to the rule but to cut out the worke directly against the rule Nothing more likely to breede heart-burning betweene them and to make a man carry a stiffer streighter hand ouer them as we see that a man letteth his garments hang loose about him in a calme which he girdeth closer to him when the winde is boistrous and high Such women should remember that f a meeke and a quiet spirit is a thing pretious in Gods sight and on the otherside a froward and vnquiet spirit in a wife is a thing odious and detestable both with God and man The second dutie is Obedience propounded by Peter in the example of Sara as S●ra obeied Abr●ham and it hath reference to two things Admonition Aduice and so consequently consisteth in being content to be admonished of him to be aduised by him First for Admonition in being content to be admonished by him and taking his admonitions in good parts and being willing to reforme and amend what he admonisheth her of as amisse Not ready to returne a snappish answer againe and to giue one angry word againe for another nor to be pouting and lowring vpon it as the manner is of many when they are told of ought for a long time togither as if they would make him weary of admonishing ought any more but hearing it with mildnesse and hearkening to it with meekenesse remembring that when the husband admonisheth God admonisheth in him and hearkning to him she hearkeneth to God in him as on the other side contemning him shee contemneth God and Gods ordinance in him Yea though the husband should chance to blame and finde fault without cause as euen the best and the wisest sometime may doe it shall be a wise and discreete womans part rather to take it quietly and patiently as if there were iust cause of it thē to giue any vnkind or vncomely language againe remembring that It is as one saith we●l the propertie of an ingenuous disposition to acknowledge a fault sometime euen where there is none not by lying or dissemb●ing for that is altogether vnlawfull but by patient bearing and forbearing being as ready to alter what is done as if it had beene done otherwise then it ought Secondly For Adut●e in suffering her selfe to be aduised of him in taking aduice of him and following aduice giuen by him in being willing to be directed and aduised by him for her selfe her attire her behauiour her carriage her company the marshalling and managing of domesticall affaires As Sara would not put away her maide Hagar without Abrahams consent nor Rebekkah send away her sonne Iacob without Isaaks aduice In regard whereof the husband is called the wiues guide as the person by whom she is mainely to be directed and guided Which yet we are not so to vnderstand as if the wife might not either admonish the husband on some occasions or adu●se him in some cases For what a seruant may sometime doe a wife may much more But there must be an holy wisedome and discretion vsed herein That admonition be giuen seasonably not as physicke in a fit as by Abigail to Nabal and with due respect and regard of the husbands person and place That in aduice giuing the wife euer remember what is properly her part and therefore mooue the matter rather by way of question or as cre●●●●●uice as Rebekka seemeth to mooue the master a farre of vnto Isaak submit her adu●ce and op●nion to his iudgement and discr●tion as ●ster to Assuerus his Shew her selfe willing to obey if he shall thinke good otherwise and withall so carry the matter that euen in those things that are done by her aduice to good purpose her husband be honoured and not contemned either by others or her that whatsoeuer is done by their mutuall consent may seeme rather to come from him as Iesabel sealed all with Ahabs seale and Ester wrote all in Assuerus his name For that as the trumpeters owne voice is nothing so loud or so strong as the sound that it yeeldeth when it passeth through the trumpet so euery action in the family shall gaine it selfe more weight and procure more them both more credit and carry more authoritie with it when it passeth through the husbands hands and is ratified and sealed as it were with his seale And here commeth to bee condemned the custome of those women that will do all of their owne head that will haue things as they list themselues and after their owne minde that refuse and thinke scorne either to aske of their husbands aduice what to doe or to follow it in such things as they are aduised vnto And so disobedience breedeth a contempt of the husband in them and contempt in them causeth wrath in him which openeth a gap to many grieuous euils Such must know that in disobeying them they disobey God in them and prouoke him against themselues besides that they procure nothing vnto themselues but an euill report abroad and an vnquiet life at home And therefore a wise and discreete woman ought to choose rather when the thing enioyned or aduised shall import some difficultie or carry with it some inconueniencie howsoeuer she may in good tearmes propound it by way of excuse yet if the husband shall persist in his minde that he will haue it so she ought I say to choose rather and account it better so long as it import no euill to buy her owne peace and the peace of a good conscience to purchase peace with God and man by meeke and quiet obseruance then to breake or hazard the breach of either by her peeuish resistance But of all
