or_o go_v not_o right_a but_o even_o as_o christ_n nourish_v and_o teach_v his_o church_n so_o ought_v every_o honest_a husband_n also_o love_o and_o gentle_o to_o inform_v &_o instruct_v his_o wife_n for_o in_o many_o thing_n say_v s._n peter_n god_n have_v make_v the_o man_n strong_a than_o the_o woman_n not_o to_o rage_v upon_o they_o &_o to_o be_v tyrant_n unto_o they_o but_o to_o help_v they_o

to_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o his_o eye_n that_o he_o provoke_v not_o the_o plague_n of_o vengeance_n let_v we_o therefore_o have_v humility_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o as_o a_o

without_o any_o further_a respect_n true_o although_o peradventure_o i_o shall_v seem_v to_o spiritual_a in_o this_o point_n yet_o if_o you_o have_v your_o eye_n full_o fix_v upon_o that_o mark_n without_o waner_v other_o way_n no_o doubt_n but_o god_n will_v prosper_v you_o the_o better_a in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o shall_v thereby_o have_v trial_n that_o you_o depend_v whole_o upon_o he_o and_o his_o provideuce_n and_o then_o shall_v you_o be_v leave_v in_o danger_n of_o snare_n and_o of_o this_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o we_o may_v take_v a_o example_n and_o warning_n of_o the_o manner_n that_o god_n use_v in_o the_o first_o marriage_n make_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n for_o while_o he_o be_v provide_v for_o adam_n the_o woman_n that_o shall_v be_v his_o

so_o very_o i_o will_v think_v that_o god_n do_v most_o work_v with_o you_o if_o you_o lay_v adam_n a_o fléepe_n i_o mean_v if_o you_o remove_v all_o carnal_a affection_n and_o worldly_a respect_n
