In the eight Commandment you are charged (Brother) to use all lawful means to1 provide for the maintenance of your wife in honest estate: else were you worse then an Infidel. But I charge you to take heed, least through distrust in the providence of God, you make shipwreck of a good conscience, using any unjust or unlawful means. And you (Sister) are commanded to be a good housewife, and to keep those things together which you have, and so increase them, as you may from time to time be helpful unto others. For if you should consume and waste things unprofitably, you should grieve and trouble the mind of your Husband, who ought to be cased of that care by you. And further, if it should please God to call either of you to suffer persecution in time of trial, the weaker must (for the Lords cause) give place to the stronger, and desire the Lord to give greater strength: for we must labour for grace, that we may be willing for the Gospel, to forsake all things whatsoever we have.
