What wrong then do such parents unto their children, as 1keep them, even after they are married, so strait under subjection, 2as they cannot freely perform such duty as they ought to their husband, or their wife? This is more then a parents authority reacheth unto. Yet many think that their children owe as much service to them after they are married as before: which is directly against this law.
What wrong then doe such parents vnto their children, as 1keepe them, euen after they are maried, so strait vnder subiection, 2as they cannot freely performe such duty as they ought to their husband, or their wife? This is more then a parents authority reacheth vnto. Yet many thinke that their children owe as much seruice to them after they are maried as before: which is directly against this law.

But this should have been looked to more carefully before hand. After marriage it is too late to seek such a redress.
