There is a double fear,1 one which maketh one tremble and fly from the thing feared as hurtful and mischievous, so as men do fear a Lyon or Bear, to run from him as fast as they can, that he may not tear us in pieces, such a fear as this is not required. Another fear is, fear of offending, wronging, or grieving the person feared, flying and shunning all such things as would displease him and make him conceive with dislike an irrespectivenesse of him. This is the fear of the wife, not to dare to displease her husband or anger him, not so much least he should fly upon her with reproofs and blows, as least she should be an instrument of grief to one, whom she loveth and honoureth by her undutifulness and rudeness. And it must be noted that she did so reverence him as to call him Lord. And how did she call him Lord? not in speaking to him, or in speaking of him before others, by whom it might be told him again what she had said, but when she thought of him or spake of him with the inward speech of her heart, which none could relate again, but God who hath related this to her praise. For that title she gave him even in her inward cogitations, when she said in her self at the hearing of the Angels promise, that she should have a son,2 Shall I have pleasure after I have waxed old, my Lord being old also.
