And a more notable reason is in 1. Tim. 3. 14. The woman was deceived, not the man: for he was led away by affection to her, and was not deceived: And to Titus, the Apostle rendereth another reason of this1 subjection, least the Gospel be evil spoken of, therefore the wives should be subject to their husbands.
And a more notable reason is in 1. Tim. 3. 14. The woman was deceiued, not the man: for hee was led away by affection to her, and was not deceiued: And to Titus, the Apostle rendreth another reason of this1 subiection, least the Gospell be euill spoken of, therefore the wiues should be subiect to their husbands.
But here the Apostle rendereth this reason, that it1 is comely: because women delight in neatness and comeliness. And howsoever they think it a disgrace to be subject, yet the Apostle saith, this is more comely to be subject. And S. Peter standeth much upon it,2 teaching that the comeliness of a woman, which is most comely in the sight of God, is, that she be quiet, humble, and obedient: And therefore if women will have their rings, Jewels, and bracelets, as an ornament and comeliness to them, let them be decked with this, to be humble in obedience to their husbands.
