a husband should be a righteous man a man of God & rule his houshold in righteousness & govern his wife with kindness & love & not with a rod, club, or his fist, his conduct to his wife should be such that she will love him with all of her heart and he should pray to God that his wife & children which are jewels given him might be saved & not taken from him that not any thing need be lost which the father hath given him. He said that many men through their con- duct would have taken from them that which they had & given to another. He said that when a man had a jewel given to him he ought to prize it & treasure it up & take good care of it & in process of time other jewels might be given him of the Lord, but he should not undertake to steal them for he could not keep them, and a man should not be in a hurry to obtain any blessing or exhaltation that is not for him & when he has proved himself faithful in all things before God there is no good thing that will be withheld from him in time or Eternity
