Reverence. Observe but the book of Canticles, and we shall see how reverently the Church carrieth her self to Christ: so must wives to their husbands: and though this, as is said before, be a particular duty; yet in some sort it is also a general grace to be exercised in the performance of every duty.

Sincerity: Saints will pretend no more in their outward actions, but what they intend in their hearts: the like is to be performed by wives, 1 Because they have to deal not only with their husbands, who are men, and can look but upon the outward work, but also with Christ, who beholdeth the heart & affection. 2 When their obedience cometh from the heart, it is both acceptable to Christ, & pleasing to their husbands.
