in_o many_o wife_n but_o duty_n 1_o because_o it_o be_v more_o against_o nature_n to_o obey_v than_o to_o rule_v 2_o because_o woman_n have_v many_o hindrance_n or_o let_n both_o in_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n and_o in_o practise_v it_o sometime_o they_o rest_v in_o the_o general_a that_o they_o must_v obey_v and_o so_o never_o study_v particular_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n to_o have_v it_o

must_v mend_v first_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n begin_v with_o the_o wife_n and_o will_v fain_o have_v they_o in_o order_n before_o they_o require_v respect_n from_o their_o husband_n 4_o because_o if_o the_o woman_n be_v gain_v to_o religion_n they_o may_v be_v great_a mean_n to_o work_v good_a upon_o their_o husband_n for_o as_o they_o be_v pernicious_a instrument_n of_o the_o

be_v by_o she_o instruct_v and_o well_o bring_v up_o and_o the_o advantage_n from_o she_o for_o the_o child_n good_a be_v the_o great_a because_o she_o be_v most_o with_o the_o child_n and_o usual_o they_o more_o affect_v she_o than_o the_o father_n 5_o because_o many_o time_n their_o provocation_n from_o absurd_a husband_n be_v so_o great_a as_o if_o god_n do_v not_o speak_v very_o much_o to_o they_o they_o can_v never_o endure_v it_o with_o subjection_n to_o conclude_v when_o thing_n be_v much_o urge_v or_o repeat_v in_o scripture_n usual_o thereby_o three_o thing_n be_v import_v about_o
