A wife must do nothing which appertaineth to her husband authority simply without, or directly against his consent. Do not these words of that old law (thy desire shall be to thy husband) ¹imply as much? I deny not but that there may be sundry things proper and peculiar to a wife, wherein I will not restrain her liberty: and therefore I use this phrase (which appertaineth to her husbands authority.) And I grant the forenamed general and implicit consent, to be a true consent, so as there needeth not an express particular consent for every thing, and therefore I have added these clauses (simply without, or directly against consent.)

A wife must doe nothing which appertaineth to her husband authoritie simply without, or directly against his consent. Doe not these words of that old law (thy desire shall be to thy husband) ¹imply as much? I deny not but that there may be sundry things proper and peculiar to a wife, wherein I will not restraine her libertie: and therefore I vse this phrase (which appertaineth to her husbands authoritie.) And I grant the forenamed generall and implicit consent, to be a true consent, so as there needeth not an expresse particular consent for euery thing, and therefore I haue added these clauses (simply without, or directly against consent.)

1Gen. 3. 16.

:2428p. 290

That is done simply without consent which is done without all warrant from the husband, and that so covertly as she is afraid it should come to his notice, imagining he would by no means like it: As Rachels taking her fathers idols without all ¹consent of Jacob.
