Saint Paul saith, The Wife is the glory of the Husband; 1what means he by this? That is,2 she reflects the graces of a good Husband; if he be good, she is good, she reflects his excellencies. So let every Christian soul that is married to Christ, be the glory of Christ, reflect his excellencies;3 be holy as he is holy; fruitful, as he was, in doing good; meek and humble as he was; every way be his glory: and then, undoubtedly when he comes to judge us, he will come to be glorified in us, having been before glorified by us.
