But the woman of the man] Of a bone ſhe was made, and but one bone, N[illegible: 1 letter] eſſet oſſea, ſaith a Divine: A bone of the ſide it was,Vitia Palatina. not of the head (ſhe is not to be his miſtreſſe) nor of the foot (ſhe is not to be his handmaid) but of the ſide, to ſhew that ſhe is a companion to her husband. A bone from under the arm, to minde the man of protection and defence to the woman. A bone not farre from his heart, to minde him of dilection and love to the woman. A bone from the left ſide, to put the woman in minde, that by reaſon of her frailty and infirmity, ſhe ſtands in need of both the one and the other from her husband.
