2 That if the Lord forbids any thing which her husband commands, she must not do it. Only take two caveats: 1 That she be sure God commands the contrary. 2 That she first persuade him gently and meekly to forbear, and not to urge, and press it upon her, being contrary to a higher commandment: but if all this serve not, she must obey Christ rather then him.

Examples of wives resisting their husbands, are very sparingly set down in Scripture. We read of Rebecca, Gen. 27. and of Abigail, 1 Sam. 25. But these were extraordinary, and serve only in the like case. Yet we may give some examples, as if the husband forbid the wife to keep holy the Sabbath day: if he command her to wear garnished apparel, paint her face, to run to Stage-plays, &c. she must not obey, because God commands the contrary.
