Proverbs30:10

Verſ. 10. Accu[illegible: 1 letter]e not a ſervant unto his Maſter] Unleſs it be in an Ordinance, for the benefit of both. Much leſſe may we falſly accuſe Wives to their Huſbands (as Stephen Gardiner and other Court-paraſites did King Henry the eighth his Wives to him, of Adultery, Hereſie, Conſpiracy, &c.)

Tit. 3.1, 2, 3. and may haply hear of it to our ſhame and ſorrow, (if wee irritate others thereunto) by way of recrimination.
