2 Courtesy and obeisance: not as children and servants for every light occasion, for herein a difference is to be put, considering, that of all inequality, there is least disparity between the husband and wife. This so must be showed when there shall be a departing one from the other for a season, or a coming home, or at the sitting down at table, or when the wife maketh some solemn request unto her husband: as Bathsheba did unto David, 1 King. 1.16, 31. Some may say, that David was a King, and so she reverenced him as King, & not as her husband. But I answer, 1 that though David were a King, yet was she a Kings wife, and so dignified with the Titles and Honours of a Queen; and if she notwithstanding would do it, much more ought others. 2 That if on the contrary, Vashti's stoutness were censured as an ill example to all wives, Ester 1.17. Why ⟨p. 22⟩should not this that was well performed by Bathsheba, be a good example to others to do the like?
