the Violet of all the creatures none such helpers meete for man as is the woman If man swell with pride and lift vp his nose among his neighbours she with her lowly and humble cariage remembers him that he is no better than his fore-fathers which are returned to the earth from whence they came If man burnes in the flames of his fleshlie lust she is the cooler of those flames to auoyd fornication 1. Cor. 7.2 let euery man haue his wife * Vers 9. it is better to marrie than to burne If man sparkle with anger in that vnseemely heate she with her soft and wel-pleasing speech soone abateth that heate and maketh him to see James 1.20 that the wrath of man neuer fulfilleth the righteousnes of God If man be heauie and vnquiered within either for wronges imposed or sustained losse she as a cordiall comfort caseth those his sorrowes and satisfieth his soule with sweete content What man getteth abroad shee saueth at home and vnder him with his gaine and credit gouerneth his familie and home-affaires being as Augustine speaketh August adu Pollent lib. 2. cap. 12. infirmitatis remedium humanitatis solatium a medicine of mans maladies sweete procurer of his best content So helpfull vnto man is this sweet cooling cordial and low growing Violet Wherefore ô ye maried wiues remember that man was not made for the woman but the woman for the man 1. Corin. 11.9 as the Apostle speaketh Remember you were made to be helpers meete for man do not degenerate from the cause of your creation O how vnworthy is it your sweet selues that as Adam complained of Eue the woman that thou gauest mee shee gaue mee of the fruit to eate Genes 3.12 so thy husband should complaine of thee the woman that thou gauest me she hath hurt me she hath entised me to sin Although this wil not serue thy husband for excuse yet this wil shew that thou despisest the end for which thou wast created and with sinne neglectest thy imposed duty to be an helper meete for man Secondly the Violet growes low Now after the helpe the Violet affords in the second place I pray you consider how it groweth by the ground it groweth low euen so must all you maried wiues grow low you must be subiect to your husbands This is the sentence of God giuen on Eue and on all Eues daughters which may not be reuoked Genes 3.16 that not only in sorrow you should bring forth your children which you all do to this day feele but that your desires must be subiect to your husbands and they must rule ouer you In vaine thou pleadest for thy selfe ô woman that thou art one flesh with him For although that be true that which thou vrgest Ambros de Paradiso cap. 14. yet as Ambrose obserueth for two causes God commandeth thee to be subiect to thy husband First because thou wast made of man but especially because by thee sinne entered into the world man was entised for to sinne So Chrysostom bringeth in God in this sort Chrysost hom 17. in Genes speaking to the woman I made thee equall and gaue thee Princedome with thy husband but because thou hast abused it vnto thy husbands hurt from hence-forth I make thee subiect he shall rule ouer thee Hence it is that the mayden when she is maried leaueth to be called after her fathers name and from thence forth is called after her husbands So Eue of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hence it is that the womans contracts and bargaines are of no force either by the lawes of God or of man except the husband do approue the same Nay hence it is that the maried wife may not performe the vowes shee hath made to GOD Numb 30.9 Aug. epist 199 Annot. in Tertull de veland Virgi except the husband giueth way to her desires Hence it is that to this day the Persian Ladies vpon the top of their coronets haue the signe of the foot in token that the top of their glorie must stoope euen to their husbands feet They still remember the auncient decree of Ahashuerosh and his Princes that all women great and small Hest. 1.20 must giue honor to their husbands Vers 22. and that euery man must beare rule in his owne house They acknowledge that Queene Vashty for refusing to come when the King her husband sent for her was worthily by the sentence of the King and all his nobles Vers 16. put from her royall seate in that shee had done euill against the King and against all the Princes and all the people Vers 17. in leauing her selfe an ill example to all other women to despise their husbands Thus by the first Law of God nature and of nations this is imposed vpon women that they be subiect to their husbands the same is required in the Gospell Ephes 5.22 Therefore Paul Wines be subiect to your husbands as to the Lord for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church As the Church to Christ so let the wife be subiect to her husband in all things Where marke wiues be subiect to your husbands there is the precept he is your head there is the reason as to the Lord as the Church is to Christ there is the manner In what should they be subiect in the end it is said in all things It is not enough for you to be good to your husbands but you must bee subiect too as St. Paul speaketh You must be good and subiect to your husbands Titus 2.5 Amongst many other reasons alledged for this required subiection S. Paul saith to the Colossians It is meete Indeed meet that the Moone should giue glory to the Sunne Coloss 3.18 from whom she receiueth all her light the woman subiection to her husband from whom she deriueth all her worship S. Peter that by their submisse reuerend cariage 1. Pet. 3.1 they might winne their husbands to the faith Nothing more preuailes with man then the submisse cariage of his wife Titus 2.5 St. Paul addeth a third reason lest the Word of God be euil spoken of for your sakes For when women make shew of religion and yet will not be subiect and obedient to their husbands their faults in this are ascribed to the blamelesse Gospell of our Christ Wherefore heare ô ye maried wiues Hieron comment in Titū what S. Hierom speaketh vpon this place Since the husband is the head of the woman as Christ is the head of man what wife soeuer is not subiect to her husband is as much in fault as man is when he is not subiect vnto Christ. marke his reasons For the first sentence that God gaue wherin she is charged to be subiect is despised and Christs Gospell infamed when a Christian woman will not do that to her husband which the Heathen women
