Yea further, we read Amos 7. 16. that it was threatened as a curse to Amaziah the Priest of Bethel, that his wife should be a harlot, for resisting the Prophet: shall then the wife of Hosea be a whore? For Amos & Hosea prophesied both at the same time.

And the Scripture saith (you know the place,1 1 Cor. 11.) that the woman is to be the glory of the man. What a glory should Hosea have had in such a match as this? The woman is the glory of the man, How? (for so I desire not only to open the Scripture that I read here, but as I go along and quote Scripture, so far as may be for your edification, and suitable to our argument to open there too.) In two respects she is so. 1. because it is a glory to a man that he hath such an image, for she is from the man, and as the man being the image of God, showeth the glory of God, because he is the image of God, and from him; so the woman being from the man, ⟨p. 21⟩and as it were his image, she is the glory of the man. 2. Because man hath such an excellent creature brought under subjection to him: so the woman is the glory of the man. Man is not only made glorious by God, in that God hath put all other creatures under him, but especially in this, that God hath put such an excellent creature under him as the woman is, so the woman is the glory of the man. This could not be here in such a match as this.
