Marriage.

The dominion OF man over bis wife
is 20 other than as the soul rules the
body; for which 1t takes a mighty care,
aud uses it with delicate tenderness,
aud cares for it in all contingencies, and
watches to keep it from evils, and stu
dies to make tor it fair provisions, and
very often is led by lis imcinations and
desires, and does never contradict its APP
petles but when they are evil, and then
also not without some trouble and sor-
row and its government comes only
to this. 1t furnishes the body with light
and understanding, aud the body fur
nishes the soul with hands and feet; the
soul governs because the soul could not
else be happy, but the government is no
other than professionally as a nurse gov
erns a child when she causes him to eat,
and to be warm, and dry, and quiet.
And yet even this very government
itself is divided; for the man and wife
in the family are as the sun and moon
IN the frmament Of the heaven; he rules
by day and she by night, that is, in less
e. and more proper circles of her atfairs,
in the conduct OF domestic provisions
and necessary offices, and shines only by
bis light, aud rules by lis authority
And as the moon, in opposition to the
/ sun shines brightest; that is, then when
she is in her own circles and separate re-
| gions, so is the authority of the wife
then most conspicuous when she is sepa-
rate and in her proper sphere. But when
she is in conjunction with the sun, her
brother, that is, in that place and en-
ployment in which her care and proper
Offices are employed, her light is no.
seen, her authority hath no proper busi
ness. But else there is no difference, for
they were barbarous people among
whom wives were instead Of servants
aud it Is sign of weakness to force the
ramels to knecl for their load because
thou hast not strength and spirit enough
to climb; it makes the affections and
q, enuess of wife bend by the fiexures
Of a servant, is sign the man is not
wise enough TO govern when another is
by. And rs among men and women hui
Iniiity is the way to be preferred, so it is
in husbands, they will prevail by ces-
sion, by sweetness and counsel, and char
ity and compliance. So that We cannot
discourse OF the mans right without des-
cribing the measures OF his duty,
Jereihy Taylor,
