The ground of this answer is taken from that primary law of the wives subjection, ^aThy desire shall be unto thine husband. How is her desire subject to her husband, if in the case propounded she stand not upon his consent? It is further confirmed both by the ^bforenamed, and also by all other proofs that might be produced out of the Scripture concerning the subjection of wives unto their husbands. If in ordering the goods of the family she yield not subjection, wherein shall she yield it?
