How they
arc
the body
of
the man.
2.
What
duties may hence be concluded.
For the
t
If
we
Tooke
to the
fir ft
beginning we may literally
un-
derhand
this
:
for Eve the wife
of
Adam was a piece
of
his
body.
/dam
having
in
him not onely that which made
him
a
perfe
l
man,
which he
remained
when
Eve
was made
of
him, butthat
which made
him
a
perfeót beginning principle
of
mankind.
But thus
the
is
not our
body
in
any fpeciall manner.
Secondly,the
wife
is
the body
of
a
man juris fillione,in fuppofition
of
the Law,
for
the
law putteth
the
cafe
as
if
they
were both
one
perfon.
Thirdly,
and principally,
the
is
one
body
with
him jure conjunlli
-,
orris,
becaufe the
is
by Gods
conflitution and lawful! content made
as
one perfon
with the
man
in
begetting
a
fecde
to
God.
For
looke
as
a plant
of
one
tree, now let
in
another, they
doe
grow
up, not
as
two,
but
one
tree
bringing fruire: So God harbincorporated the
man
and
woman,that
they
fhould be one
tree,and
as it
were propagating
fruite
unto
himfclfe.
Then
hence
that
the
is
thus our
body,
we
fie low
that
we
mu
l
be
more veerely
a
felled
to
her, for every man
is
next himfclfe,
Skinne
for
skinne, &c.
She
is
to
have
communion
in
all things with
the
man, for
what hath
the head, which after
a
fort
is
not
for
the
body!
if
man
is
notwithfianding defetls
to ref!
in her.
For
if
our bodies
be without beauty
and feature,
if
lame, crook
-
backed, or other
-
wife, we doe
content our
felves
with them,
and make
of
them the
belt we
may
:
fo
it
mutt be
in
husbands toward their wives,
as
who
are their bodies.
Laftly, note hence, that
the woman it not
having
power
of
her
felfe,
n6
the man
is
not
bit
own
likewife, both
have
mutual
affcílion
one
in
another,
for the body
is
the
body
of
the head,
and
the
head
is a
head
for the
body.
2.
It
is
to be marked
left we fhould flicke
st
this point, how the
Apoflle doth
infer,that
loving our bodies we love our
felves; whence
marke, that
as
we
would
Phew
love
to
our
[elves,
f
we
malt
love
our
wives,
This
is
a Ic(fon we are
forry
to take
forth,
Mailer be good
to thy
felfe,
for there
is
in
nature
an
inclination to
this;
whence it
is
that
men who
(hand
frozen
at
motions never fo equall, tell them that you
can fhew
them that they
are
partics,then you
(hall
have them
tooth
and
naile
for
you
If therefore we have fuch
a
readineffc
to love
of
our
felves, Iet
us
love our
wives, for
our love
is
not
loft, the
grieft commeth to our
mills, we love
our
felves
in
this
love.
And
fo it
is,for
as
the good done
to
a
member, redoundeth to the
head
;
fo with
the
wife:
and
on
the
contrary,
he
that loveth not
his
wife, loveth not himfelfe,
for he doth
make
her
work,
and fo difeafe
himfclfe.
Or if
(he
be
a
good
woman
that
will
not
fhoote
with the devill
in
his
owne bow,
and requite
evil!
with
evil!, yet
in
not loving
her,
a man
doth
kindle
fuch
a difcontent
in
