Marriage duties briefly couched together out of Colossians, 3. 18, 19. By Thomas Gataker…Marriage duties briefely couched togither out of Colossians, 3. 18, 19. By Thomas Gataker…

Again, the Man is as the Head, and the woman as the body. The ⁿMan is the woman's head; and Christ the mans head; and God Christs head. As ^oChrist therefore is subject to God, and the man unto Christ, so the woman to the man. ^pThe Man is the woman's head, as Christ is the Churches head. And ^qtherefore the wife is to be subject to her husband, as the Church is to Christ: And the husband to rule the wife as the head or soul doth the body. And as it is against the order of nature that the body should rule the head: so is it no less against the course of all good order, that ^rthe woman should usurp authority to her self over her husband, her head.

Againe, the Man is as the Head, and the woman as the body. The ⁿMan is the womans head; and Christ the mans head; and God Christs head. As ^oChrist therefore is subiect to God, and the man vnto Christ, so the woman to the man. ^pThe Man is the womans head, as Christ is the Churches head. And ^qtherefore the wife is to be subiect to her husband, as the Church is to Christ: And the husband to rule the wife as the head or soule doth the body. And as it is against the order of nature that the body should rule the head: so is it no lesse against the course of all good order, that ^rthe woman should vsurpe authoritie to her selfe ouer her husband, her head.
