To these I may refer other goods, but of another nature, namely such as some friend of hers, suppose father, mother, brother, or any other, observing her husband to be a very •ard man, not allowing sufficient for her self, much less to distribute on charitable uses, shall give unto her to dispose as •e please, charging her not to let her husband know thereof. How because it is in the power of a free donor to order his •ift as he please, and because he so ordereth this gift as he will not have her husband know of it, I doubt not but she may of her self according to the donors mind without her husbands consent, dispose such goods. She is herein but as a offee in trust.
