    25 Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it,

    26 To sanctifie it, clensyng it in the fountayne of water in the worde,

    27 To make it vnto hym selfe a glorious Churche, not hauyng spot or wrinckle, or any such thyng: but that it should be holy, and without blame.
