No, not so, but plead you the case, plead rather with her then complain of me for my dealing with her.

Secondly,1 Plead with her. When exhortations and admonitions will not do, we must strengthen our selves and fall a pleading. If there be any way more powerful then exhortation and admonition we should take that way, and not presently give over, for though it is not said here, Plead with your brothers and sisters, yet they are included in this when he saith, Plead with your mother.
