be_v require_v of_o woman_n towards_o their_o husband_n of_o fear_n this_o be_v which_o be_v here_o require_v and_o how_o it_o must_v be_v perform_v for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o slavish_a kind_n of_o fear_n which_o be_v here_o require_v where_o the_o apostle_n say_v your_o conversation_n must_v be_v in_o fear_n but_o here_o be_v require_v of_o you_o a_o holy_a conversation_n zealous_a towards_o god_n and_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a towards_o the_o world_n with_o virtue_n chastity_n modesty_n temperance_n sobriety_n faithfulness_n and_o love_a obedience_n for_o sure_o she_o that_o be_v full_o possess_v with_o these_o virtue_n will_v so_o love_v and_o so_o live_v that_o she_o will_v fear_v to_o offend_v her_o husband_n but_o rather_o yield_v all_o humility_n and_o obedience_n for_o the_o commandment_n sake_n &_o thus_o by_o this_o holy_a carriage_n of_o yourselves_o shall_v you_o win_v those_o that_o be_v without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n or_o his_o word_n to_o the_o knowledge_n both_o of_o he_o and_o his_o word_n when_o they_o shall_v behold_v your_o godly_a conversation_n in_o fear_n and_o see_v far_o the_o mercy_n of_o our_o good_a god_n unto_o who_o he_o have_v commit_v you_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o not_o unto_o your_o enemy_n or_o unto_o stranger_n but_o unto_o a_o kind_n &_o love_a husband_n unto_o who_o you_o be_v as_o near_o as_o the_o very_a flesh_n unto_o his_o skin_n and_o as_o dear_a unto_o he_o as_o the_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n who_o tender_a heart_a affection_n be_v always_o yield_v unto_o a_o dutiful_a &_o love_a wife_n i_o hope_v now_o that_o good_a wife_n will_v willing_o yield_v unto_o this_o their_o duty_n of_o obedience_n unto_o their_o husband_n see_v by_o who_o it_o be_v command_v and_o to_o who_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n do_v extend_v it_o self_n unto_o they_o even_o to_o the_o full_a in_o that_o notwithstanding_o their_o transgression_n against_o he_o yet_o he_o have_v

notwithstanding_o through_o bear_v of_o child_n she_o shall_v be_v save_v if_o they_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o holiness_n with_o modesty_n see_v here_o the_o benefit_n of_o marriage_n which_o bring_v so_o great_a a_o blessing_n with_o it_o and_o note_v i_o beseech_v you_o you_o that_o be_v woman_n of_o understanding_n here_o be_v salvation_n offer_v unto_o you_o by_o bear_v of_o child_n indeed_o but_o it_o be_v with_o a_o proviso_n if_o if_o you_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o holiness_n with_o modesty_n you_o must_v yield_v all_o obedience_n the_o first_o duty_n of_o the_o wife_n be_v obedience_n hearty_a obedience_n unto_o the_o bless_a will_n of_o god_n else_o what_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o your_o faith_n or_o where_o be_v it_o or_o the_o hope_n of_o your_o salvation_n so_o you_o see_v it_o allude_v unto_o all_o these_o virtue_n i_o former_o speak_v of_o and_o the_o obedience_n which_o god_n himself_o command_v for_o all_o these_o shall_v be_v in_o woman_n for_o if_o you_o mark_v it_o as_o it_o be_v worthy_a your_o mark_v you_o shall_v see_v that_o all_o our_o poetical_a painter_n wheresoever_o they_o do_v paint_v or_o set_v forth_o any_o of_o the_o virtue_n as_o faith_n hope_n woman_n eight_o chief_a virtue_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o woman_n love_n charity_n patience_n chastity_n temperance_n humility_n &_o the_o like_a all_o these_o they_o do_v not_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o man_n but_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o woman_n show_v thereby_o that_o in_o they_o these_o virtue_n dwell_v or_o shall_v at_o the_o leastwise_o i_o will_v run_v no_o far_o in_o this_o point_n of_o obedience_n but_o will_v turn_v i_o to_o the_o next_o duty_n of_o the_o wife_n which_o be_v love._n the_o eight_o chapter_n and_o now_o concern_v the_o duty_n of_o love_n love._n the_o second_o duty_n of_o the_o wife_n be_v love._n which_o every_o woman_n ought_v to_o perform_v unto_o her_o husband_n i_o have_v in_o some_o manner_n touch_v it_o before_o as_o occasion_v serve_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n for_o indeed_o they_o be_v as_o too_o twin_n they_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n one_o with_o another_o and_o may_v not_o well_o be_v separate_v obedience_n and_o love_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v separate_v for_o where_o there_o be_v true_a obedience_n right_o perform_v there_o also_o love_n will_v be_v attendant_a &_o as_o a_o agent_n help_v to_o perform_v the_o business_n and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v so_o natural_a a_o thing_n for_o a_o woman_n to_o love_v a_o man_n that_o we_o will_v think_v she_o need_v not_o be_v prompt_v or_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o this_o point_n but_o to_o perform_v it_o true_o &_o faithful_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v i_o think_v we_o shall_v scarce_o find_v one_o in_o five_o that_o do_v it_o no_o not_o among_o ten_o i_o pray_v god_n there_o be_v one_o in_o 20_o and_o yet_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o a_o woman_n love_v her_o husband_n when_o she_o marry_v with_o he_o but_o the_o apostle_n say_v she_o must_v continue_v in_o love_n why_o then_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o love_n she_o must_v perform_v unto_o her_o husband_n must_v be_v like_o the_o ring_n wherewith_o he_o marry_v she_o signify_v what_o the_o marriage_n ring_n do_v signify_v it_o must_v have_v no_o end_n it_o must_v continue_v as_o long_o as_o she_o continue_v to_o he_o yea_o if_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o her_o life_n and_o as_o the_o ring_n be_v not_o of_o any_o mix_v or_o base_a mettle_n but_o of_o the_o most_o precious_a &_o pure_a metal_n which_o may_v be_v so_o it_o teach_v the_o woman_n that_o the_o love_n she_o must_v perform_v unno_fw-la her_z husband_n must_v be_v pure_a holy_a and_o chaste_a it_o must_v allow_v no_o mixture_n no_o copartner_n in_o this_o fellowship_n but_o she_o must_v remember_v to_o perform_v the_o vow_n she_o make_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o before_o his_o saint_n at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o marriage_n that_o she_o will_v keep_v herself_o only_o unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o she_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o and_o this_o you_o see_v the_o ceremony_n or_o use_n of_o the_o ring_n teach_v and_o therefore_o with_o great_a and_o good_a consideration_n have_v our_o church_n ordain_v the_o use_n of_o it_o and_o great_a in_o the_o error_n of_o those_o man_n which_o refuse_v at_o such_o time_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o now_o i_o have_v begin_v to_o speak_v of_o this_o vow_n which_o the_o woman_n make_v unto_o her_o husband_n at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o marriage_n it_o give_v i_o a_o occasion_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o small_a regard_n that_o woman_n for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v take_v of_o this_o business_n for_o if_o we_o note_v the_o conversation_n of_o marriage_n a_o woman_n ought_v to_o have_v regard_n of_o the_o vow_n that_o she_o make_v at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o marriage_n wife_n unto_o their_o husband_n in_o these_o time_n it_o will_v appear_v as_o i_o say_v for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o they_o never_o regard_v that_o vow_n they_o make_v or_o know_v that_o they_o have_v make_v any_o at_o all_o for_o sure_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o so_o brutish_a they_o know_v it_o not_o but_o rather_o think_v they_o be_v but_o word_n of_o course_n or_o ceremonial_a rite_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o concern_v they_o at_o all_o yea_o i_o do_v know_v there_o be_v such_o but_o alas_o their_o error_n be_v exceed_v great_a in_o take_v so_o little_a regard_n of_o so_o weighty_a a_o cause_n but_o i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o fear_n note_n note_n of_o god_n note_v what_o i_o shall_v say_v unto_o you_o concern_v this_o matter_n for_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v a_o vow_n which_o she_o promise_v with_o her_o lip_n yea_o and_o a_o great_a vow_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o her_o life_n she_o can_v make_v a_o great_a for_o if_o a_o woman_n shall_v say_v or_o protest_v 5._o numb_a 5._o she_o will_v do_v such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n this_o be_v a_o vow_n she_o bind_v herself_o to_o perform_v it_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o her_o husband_n hear_v she_o shall_v disallow_v of_o it_o and_o shall_v say_v she_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o she_o be_v then_o free_v from_o her_o vow_n because_o of_o his_o authority_n over_o she_o and_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n shall_v forgive_v she_o for_o vow_v so_o we_o see_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o a_o woman_n to_o vow_n or_o protest_v to_o do_v any_o
