EPHES. 5. 25. 25. Husbands love your Wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it.
EPHES. 5. 25. 25. Husbands loue your Wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it.
From Wives duties the Apostle proceedeth to press Husbands duties. And as he propounded to Wives for a pattern, the example of the Church, so to Husbands he propoundeth ⟨p. 44⟩the example of Christ: and *addeth thereunto the pattern of a mans self, in regard of that natural affection which he beareth to his body. Thus he addeth pattern to pattern, 2and doth the more largely and earnestly press them, because husbands having a more honourable place, their failing in duty is the more heinous, scandalous, and dangerous.
FRom Wiues duties the Apostle proceedeth to presse Husbands duties. And as he propounded to Wiues for a patterne, the example of the Church, so to Husbands he propoundeth ⟨p. 44⟩the example of Christ: and *addeth thereunto the patterne of a mans selfe, in regard of that naturall affection which he beareth to his body. Thus he addeth patterne to patterne, 2and doth the more largely and earnestly presse them, because husbands hauing a more honourable place, their failing in duty is the more hainous, scandalous, and dangerous.
