A. 'Tis their Duty, (1.) To be in subjection to their own Husbands; Eph. 5.22, 23. Wives submit your selves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord: For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church. (2) To reverence them; Eph. 5.33. —And the wife see that she reverence her husband. (3.) To express their Reverence in suitable Words and Actions; 1 Pet. 3.6. Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him, Lord, &c. (4.) To be faithful to them; Prov. 31.12. She will do him good and not evil, all the days of her life. (5.) To adorn their Relation with meekness and quietness of Spirit; 1 Pet. 3.4: But let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
