Ye husbands,¹ love your wives, even as Christ also loved the congregation, & gave him self for it, to sanctify it, & cleansed it in the fountain of water through y• word, to make it unto him self a glorious congregation, without spot or wrinkle, or any thing: but that it should be holy and without blame. So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth him self: For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord doth the congregation. &c.
