Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men.

Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.

It is certain that not one drop of rain falls without God's sure command.

When we know God to be our Father, should we not desire that he be known as such by all? And if we do not have this passion, that all creatures do him homage, is it not a sign that his glory means little to us?

Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men.

No one can travel so far that he does not make some progess each day. So let us never give up. Then we shall move forward daily in the Lord's way. And let us never despair because of our limited success. Even though it is so much less than we would like, our labour is not wasted when today is better than yesterday!

Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
