Here by the way note the foolish 1collection of Adamites, Familists, and such like licentious libertines, who from the general words which the Apostle useth (men *and women) infer that all women are as wives to all men, and that there needeth not any such near conjunction of one man with one woman. Which beastly opinion as it is contrary to the current of Scripture, and to the ancient law of marriage (two shall be one flesh) so also to this clause (their own husbands.) The Apostle, in using those general words, followed the Greek phrase, which putteth those two words (men women) for husbands and wives: so also do other tongues, yea and our English. The particular relation, which is betwixt the persons who are meant by those two words, doth plainly show how they are to be taken, and when they are to be restrained to man and wife. To take away that ambiguity, our English hath well translated them, husband and wife.
