METAPHYSICAL AND PURITAN   ELEMENTS OF EDWARD TYLOR'S HUSWIFERY
It becomes of great essence to briefly explain the features of metaphysical and puritan elements of poems before going further to analyze them using Edward Tylor’s Huswifery. This will aid comprehension of this piece of work 
CHARACTERISTICS OF METAPHYSICAL POETRY
Argumentative structure: The poem often engages in a debate or persuasive presentation; the poem is an intellectual exercise as well as or instead of an Emotional effusion.
Dramatic and colloquial mode of utterance: The poem often describes a Dramatic event rather than being are varied thought or contemplation. Diction is
Simple and usually direct; in version is limited. The verse is occasionally rough,
Like speech, rather than written in perfect meter, resulting in dominance of thought over form.
Acute realism: The poem often reveals a psychological analysis; images Advance the argument rather than being ornamental. There is a learned style of thinking and writing; the poetry  is often highly intellectual.
Metaphysical wit: The poem contains unexpected, even striking or shocking analogies, offering elaborate parallels between apparently dissimilar things. The Analogies are drawn from widely varied fields of knowledge, not limited to Traditional sources in nature or art. Analogies from science, mechanics, Housekeeping, business, philosophy, astronomy, etc. are common. These "conceits “reveal a play of intellect, often resulting in puns, paradoxes, and humorous comparisons. Unlike other poetry where the metaphors usually remain in the background, here the metaphors sometimes take over the poem and control it.
Metaphysical poetry represents a revolt against the conventions of Elizabethan love
Poetry and especially the typical Petrarchan conceits (like rosy cheeks, eyes like stars,
Etc.).
Edward Tylor's Huswifery has been used in this work to analyze the metaphysical elements of poem. The poem is addressed directly to God, making it at once a kind of plea and prayer. Through an extended metaphor in which God is a cloth maker and the speaker acts as God's cloth-making tools, the speaker offers himself up as God's humble earthly servant. By following God’s instructions and living a deeply religious life, argues the poem, people can best  know and serve God.
Lines 1-6 of the poem paint a clear view of its metaphysical essence.
Make me, O Lord, thy Spining Wheele compleate.
Thy Holy Worde my Distaff make for mee.
Make mine Affections thy Swift Flyers neate
And make my Soule thy holy Spoole to bee.
My Conversation make to be thy Reele
And reele the yarn thereon spun of thy Wheele.
The poem opens with a moment of apostrophe—a direct appeal to God. The speaker asks God to make him "thy Spining Wheele compleate." Right away, the poem launches into its extended metaphor (which can also be thought of as the poem's conceit). A spinning wheel is a tool used to transform raw fibers into thread. Essentially, then, in asking to be God's spinning wheel, the speaker is saying that he wants to be a tool for God.
Specifically, he wants to be the machine on which God makes "Holy robes for glory." The overall implication is that a good Christian should obey the word of God, be submissive to God, and see their religion as a kind of unending daily work on behalf of God.
It’s worth noting that this chosen conceit implies that people should also be humble—the making of garments was largely the work of poor women at the time of the poem’s writing (a “huswife” is a married woman who takes care of the daily domestic chores and family affairs). The word “compleate,” meanwhile, signals that the poem is about spiritual fulfillment.
The first two words of the poem, “Make me,” alliterate. This draws attention to the force of the speaker's plea to God.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PURITAN LITERATURE/POETRY
Puritan literature was direct and focused on offering instruction from a Biblical point of view. However, there were many other central characteristics. Let's take a look at some of them:
Puritan literature relied on a first-person narrative. Puritan authors approached writing from a personal point of view, with many of their writings coming in the form of journals, diaries, and day-to-day experiences. By writing from a first-person perspective, thoughts are conveyed from the author speaking about him or herself.
Puritan literature relied on a religious, rather than an entertainment, theme. Puritans didn't believe in writing for entertainment; rather, they thought of writing as a tool to reach people with the story of God. Works focused on realistic messages illustrating the idea that everyone was born a sinner and that his or her salvation had been pre-determined, a concept known as predestination.
Puritan literature also relied on specific genres. Taking into account the first-person narrative and religious focus, most Puritan literature took the form of a sermon, poem, letter, or historical narrative. There was often an underlying purpose to these types of communications, illustrating their values and the importance of the Bible and God in their daily lives.
Puritan literature relied on a simple style of writing. Puritans lived simple lives, so it stands to reason that their style of writing would mimic the same pattern. Puritan authors used direct and simple language and sentence structure to convey their point, shunning the more elaborate style of writing that was popular in many circles at the time.
Puritan literature relied on Biblical allusions. Biblical allusions, or references to Biblical events or characters, were used heavily in Puritan writing. Many authors would compare themselves or current struggles to hardships endured by characters illustrated in the Bible.
The idea of a Puritan poet may seem a bit of a contradiction as Puritans disagreed with the practice of using metaphor and verbal flourishes in speech and writing, with their beliefs in God.
The author of 'Huswifery', Edward Taylor expreses his feelings in a poem, he talks about how he wants the lord to use his body as a spinning wheel to glorify God and his word. He compares his body, and parts of his body to the spinning wheel, and parts of the spinning wheel. He asks God to transform him to make him better for the glory of God.
This one story shows a breaf segment of how the puritan's felt about and what there attitudes were and they beleved deep in God and that he is the only true savor. They change ways, words, and feelings to fit in with God and good things to try to make people change to puritanism.
The Poem“Huswifery” takes its unusual rural imagery not only from the primitive location of Taylor’s pastorate but also from his memories of his boyhood home in England, where he earned a living from the soil and perhaps sheared and spun wool as part of his daily labor. In his early youth, Taylor may also have been employed in the weavers’ shops of the nearby town of Hinckley.
Stanza 1 implores God to use Taylor as His spinning wheel and to provide a holder for the flax of faith in the words of Holy Scripture. Taylor breaks down the weaving image further by associating functions of the parts of the spinning wheel with various human characteristics. His affections become the “flyers” (revolving arms which twist the wool into yarn); the soul is the spool which collects the thread; and conversation is seen as the reel which winds the spun wool.
Stanza 2 continues the clothes-making metaphor as Taylor becomes the loom whereon the refined thread is transformed into cloth. As in stanza 1, a part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is necessary for this new function to occur. The Spirit will wind bobbins or spindles, and God Himself will create a web, an organized pattern in the material. The speaker will weave the pattern of faith into the fabric and will complete the materials needed to construct the garment of salvation. Ordinances (God’s law) will then shrink and thicken the cloth (the fulling process) by means of moistening, heating, and pressing. Finally, the finished product will be dyed in radiant and heavenly colors and ornamentally patterned with a lustrous finish of Edenic beauty.
Moving from the poem's structure, consider who the poem's speaker might be. This poem has an unnamed narrator, but it is probably safe to assume that the narrator is Taylor himself. It's a religious poem, and Tylor was a trained minister. The first line of the poem should alert readers to the idea that the narrator is addressing God, and that turns the poem into a very beautiful prayer.
This particular prayer/poem is a prayer of petition. The narrator is requesting that God transform him into something useful that will help glorify God and do some of God's work on Earth. The specific request appears in the third stanza. The speaker would like to be clothed with God-honoring virtues; however, the speaker is willing to be a part of the cloth making process. That is why he specifically asks God to make him into a spinning wheel and loom. Those are machines that transform raw fibers into thread and eventually make the thread into cloth to be used for clothing
