That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

That they may TEACH the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
