My meaning is not that such wives as have servants allowed them to attend upon them should ask their husbands consent whensoever they have occasion to use them; for their husbands by allowing them men for their attendance manifest their will and consent that they may use them as they see occasion: but that they should not use and employ their servants in such things as they know their husbands would dislike, except they can gain their husbands consent.

My meaning is not that such wiues as haue seruants allowed them to attend vpon them should aske their husbands consent whensoeuer they haue occasion to vse them; for their husbands by allowing them men for their attendance manifest their will and consent that they may vse them as they see occasion: but that they should not vse and imploy their seruants in such things as they know their husbands would dislike, except they can gaine their husbands consent.

Against those particulars of children and servants it may be objected, that wives are parents of their children as well as husbands, and mistresses of servants as well as they masters, and therefore have altogether as great power over them as their husbands.

Against those particulars of children and seruants it may be obiected, that wiues are parents of their children as well as husbands, and mistresses of seruants as well as they masters, and therefore haue altogether as great power ouer them as their husbands.

Answ. Indeed if the authority of the husband come not between, that may be granted in relation betwixt her and them: but her power being subordinate to her husbands in relation to him she hath not so great a power: the power of a wife that now we speak of is directly in relation to her husband.
