Now let's consider why the Apostle first begins with wives amongst all other degrees of inferiors: For why is the wife as loth to perform the duties of ⟨p. 15⟩subjection, as other sorts of inferiors are? yea surely, and the reason is, because of all inequalities, there is the l•ast disparity in this, between man and wife. Though she be not the head, yet she is the heart. See 1 Cor. •1.11, 12. so that there is a most near relation: yea a common equity in many things with their husbands: and so in some things there is an equality; but yet for all this, to conclude as women do, that so there is an equality in all, is but a woman's reason, &c.

Again, even in those things wherein there is a community, yet is there an inequality, as in commanding of their children: if the father command a thing indifferent, and the mother forbid, the fathers word ought to stand.
