Matthew Poole and continuators on Titus 2:5

5 To be discreet , chast , keepers at home , good t, obedient to their own husbands u, that the word of God be not blaspheemed .

[non-Latin text not transcribed]. The word signifies Temperate, and imports an ability to govern all our affections and passions. Discretion is but one piece of the fruit.

The word signifieth pure as well as chast, and chastity only, as it is a species of purity.

House-Wives, not spending their time in gadding abroad, but in looking to the affairs of their own Families:

The same is required of Wives, Eph. 5.23. and is due from them to their Husbands, as being their head.

As for the discharge of their duty towards God, so, for the credit and reputation of the Gospel, that for their carriage contrary to the rules of Nature and Morality as well of Religion, the Gospel may not be evil spoken of, as if from that they had learn'd their ill and indecent behaviour.
