Meekness and Mildness of speech is showed, 1 In Titles: all their compellations given to their husbands, ⟨p. 23⟩must savour of reverence. Sarah was well inured and accustomed to this, that even in her heart, alone by her self, when she might have styled her husband otherwise, without any disgrace to him, yet she calleth him Lord, Gen. 18.12. Only let Christians take heed, that they avoid singularity herein, as in calling their husbands Head, or Guide, &c. but let them use such Titles of reverence, as are usual & proper to our tongues. I do not altogether condemn those that call their husbands by their Surnames: as Master such a one, &c. But such are to be condemned, as call them by their Christen names; as John, Will, Tom, &c. which indeed are, and ought to be used towards them only that are inferiors. 2 Those that give them vain and foolish names of their own devising: as chick, pig, &c. What reverence is there in these speeches?
