:2385p. 282–283

For the titles which a wife in speaking to her husband, or naming him, giveth unto him, they must be such as signify ⟨p. 283⟩superiority, and so savour of reverence. Such are the titles wherewith husbands are named in the Scripture; ^*they are titles of honour. Such also are the titles which the Church (who by our Apostle is made a pattern for wives in all subjection) giveth to her Spouse Christ Jesus, as may be gathered out of the Song of songs. It is likely that Sarah did usually give this title Lord to her husband. For having occasion to think of him, presently this title ^bLord was in her heart: which would not so suddenly have risen up, if she had not ordinarily used it. According to the usual titles which we give to any, do we in our hearts name them, when we have occasion to think of them. Among all other titles the name husband, as it is the most usual, so it is the fittest and meetest title. It intimateth reverence, and savoureth not of niceness & singularity, as these titles, Head, Guide, Master, Man, and the like do: which though they be lawful titles, because the Scripture attributeth them to husbands, and they signify superiority, yet because they are unusual and savour of singularity, they are not so meet. Common use and practise hath made the addition of the husbands surname to this title Master, more meet.
