1Which verse undoubtedly so pleased Ambrose, that he rehearsed it in his book of the patriarchs. Farther it serveth very much for domesticall peace: for the daughter in law ought to be to the father in law in stead of a daughter: Contrarily of rash marriages rise great discords at home. And forasmuch as the father ought to help the son with his goods, it is right, that the son again in contracting matrimony obey the father. In other civill contracts the son can do nothing without the consent of the Father, as appeareth in the Digestes De mutuo, ad senatus consultum Macedoniarum. Wherefore in a thing far greater it is meet that the judgement of the Father be had.
1Whiche verse vndoubtedlye so pleased Ambrose, that he rehearsed it in hys booke of the patriarches. Farther it serueth very much for domesticall peace: for the daughter in law ought to be to the father in law in stede of a doughter: Contrarily of rash mariages rise great discords at home. And forasmuch as the father ought to helpe the sonne with his goods, it is right, that the son agayne in contractinge matrimonye obey the father. In other ciuill contractes the sonne can doo nothynge wythout the consente of the Father, as appeareth in the Digestes De mutuo, ad senatus consultum Macedoniarum. Wherefore in a thynge farre greater it is meete that the iudgemente of the Father be had.

1The civill laws have decreed this self same thing. Justinian in his institutions, in the title de Nuptiis, will not that marriages should be firm, without the consent of the Parents. And in the Digestes De statu hominum in the Law Paulus: If a son marry a wife against the will of his parents, the child which shall be borne of those marriages, shall not be legitimate, &c. And in the Code De Nuptiis in the law Si proponis, the case is diligently to be marked. The daughter marrieth by the consent of her father, she afterward complaineth of her husband, and departeth from him. Afterward he cometh into favour again, and she marrieth him again against her fathers will. It is answered, that that matrimony is not lawful. Hereby appeareth how much the laws esteemed the power of the father. Afterward in the law Si furiosi: Children, if peradventure their parents be mad or bestraught of their wits, because they cannot use their consent in contracting of matrimony, shall use the consent of their tutors.
