1 Peter3:7
Verſe 7. Likewiſe ye] Officium aſcendit, amor deſcendit.
According to knowledge] Where ſhould w[illegible: 2 letters]dome be but in the head? This muſt be ſhewed, Ʋxoris vitium out tollendo, aut tolerando, ſaid Varro, either by curing, or at leaſt covering his wives weakneſſes.
As unto the Weaker veſſel] Glaſſes are to be tenderly handled: a ſmall knack ſoon breaks them. So here. Viperavirus ob venerationem unptiarum evomit, ſaith Baſil. The Viper, for the honour of coupling with his mate,Et tu duritiom animi, ſu ferila tem, tu c[illegible: 2 letters]le[illegible: 2 letters] tatem ab untouls revereatiam non depo [illegible: 1 letter]s? caſts up his poiſon: and wilt not thou for the honour of marriage, caſt away thy harſhneſſe, roughneſſe, cruelty to a conſort?
As being heirs] Souls have no ſexes, Gal. 3.28.
That your praiers be not hindered] Iſaac praied in the preſence of his wife. This courſe of praying together, apart from others, being taken up by married couples, will much encreaſe and ſpiritualize their affection one to another. But jarring will make them leave praying, or praying leave jarring.
