2 The elder women as mothers , the younger as sisters with all purity .
The same prudence also is to be used to Matrons and aged women.
Yea, and to younger women too considering our Relation and equality in Christ.
Only as to them, (considering their sex) a farther gravity, and prudence is to be used, that we give no occasion to Lust, or unclean motions.
