Neither is womankind here condemn ned, which is the creature of God. For the kind must be separated from the faults thereto belonging, as before he separated the works of God from the devises of man. Man is the work of God, but beside this work of God, he will follow ⟨image 134⟩his own devises, and will not be ruled wholly by God, who only was his creator and maker. So must the kind be severed from the faults thereto incident.

So must the kinde be seuered from the faultes therto incident.
1A woman as she is the creature of God, must reverently be considered. For she is created to the end to be an help to her husband, to feed her children, and to bring them up honestly and godly, to be in subjection to her husband. And men are commanded to have the rule and government of their wives and household. If now a woman leaveth her duty, and challenge the mastery of her husband, now she dischargeth not the work she was created for, but doth according to her own naughtiness. For God created not this kind to bear rule over the husband, but to be in subjection under him.
