3. The Summary Description of each of these their Duties. And
1. Here is the sum of every husband's Duty. [To love his Wife.] Indeed this is not All, but this is the chief of All, this will fulfil All. And to this is added an excellent Clause [as himself] which may pass both for a Rule and for a Reason. 1. For a Rule, for he that may not know How our Saviour loved his Church, yet cannot but know(g), how he should love himself; why, let him love his Wife as himself. 2. For a Reason; for it being certain, that a mans wife is a great part of himself, that they are but(h) Two in One, let every one of you love his wife as himself.
