Itis not permitted to women to speake, but to be in silence, as the lawesaith[52]. What saith the lawe? Vnto 'thy husband, shall thy conuersionbe, and he shall beare dominion ouer the'. This is a speciall lawe (saithAmbrose) whose sentence, lest it shulde be violated, infirmed, or madeweake, women are commanded to be in silence. Here he includeth all women. And yet he procedeth further in the same place saying[53]: It is shamefor them to presume to speake of the lawe in the house of the Lord, w...hohath commanded them to be subiect to their men. But moste plainly speakethhe writing vpon the 16. Chapitre of the epistle of S. Paule to theRomaines, vpon these wordes[54a]: Salute Rufus and his mother. For thiscause (saith Ambrose) did the apostle place Rufus before his mother, forthe election of the administration of the grace of God, in the whiche awoman hath no place. For he was chosen and promoted by the Lorde, to takecare ouer his busines, that is, ouer the churche, to the whiche officecould not his mother be appointed, albeit she was a woman so, holie, thatthe apostle called her his mother.
