Now come we to the second branch, which is Reverent Speech, which must be answerable to their carriage, manifesting a humble subjection in themselves, and superiority in their husbands: and it is either in Presence, to their husbands, or in Absence, to others concerning their husbands. In the presence of their husbands, their speeches and words must be, 1 Few. 2 Meek and Gentle. Fewness of words; that they strive not to have all the talk, to begin and end, to take the tale out of their husbands mouth, &c. See for this silence, 1 Tim. 2.11, 12. 1 Cor. 14.34, 35. where the Apostle saith, that the woman must learn of her husband. Now, a learner must keep silence: and silence is commanded unto women not only in the congregation, but also in the family. What then, must they be mute? No: silence is not opposed to speech, but to loquacity, when they must have all the talk. This condemns many wives, whose tongues never lye still, &c.
