§. 8. Of a wives base esteem of her husband.
§. 8. Of a wiues base esteeme of her husband.
Contrary to this inward reverence of the heart is a base and wile esteem which many have of their husbands, thinking no better of them then of other men; nay worse then of others; despising their husbands in their heart, like Michal, of whom we heard before. This, as it is in it self a vile vice, so is •t a cause of many other vices, as of presumption, rebellion, 1yea and of adultery it self many times: and it is also a main hinderance of all duty.
