for_o such_o a_o one_o may_v be_v name_v executor_n in_o and_o by_o a_o will_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o her_o husband_n let_v we_o then_o see_v how_o after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o

whether_o a_o prohibition_n be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o be_v grant_v or_o not_o as_o i_o find_v no_o resolution_n in_o my_o book_n so_o will_v i_o not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o resolve_v this_o stand_v clear_a in_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n 1._o that_o the_o wife_n be_v under_o the_o husband_n power_n and_o can_v contradict_v he_o in_o plead_v and_o do_v other_o act_n even_o touch_v she_o own_o freehold_a 24._o nay_o she_o can_v take_v land_n nor_o good_n by_o gift_n or_o conveyance_n without_o her_o husband_n assent_n as_o the_o law_n have_v be_v and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v take_v but_o if_o once_o the_o will_v be_v prove_v and_o the_o execution_n thereof_o commit_v to_o the_o wife_n though_o against_o her_o husband_n mind_n and_o consent_n i_o

without_o the_o husband_n privity_n and_o assent_n although_o the_o will_v be_v not_o prove_v do_v not_o conclude_v her_o husband_n as_o well_o as_o herself_o from_o say_v after_o in_o any_o suit_n against_o they_o that_o she_o neither_o be_v executor_n nor_o do_v ever_o administer_v as_o executor_n husband_n yet_o perhaps_o this_o administration_n by_o the_o wife_n against_o her_o husband_n

against_o her_o husband_n mind_n can_v be_v law_n on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o the_o husband_n of_o a_o woman_n name_v executor_n will_v have_v his_o wife_n to_o take_v upon_o she_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o will_n wife_n and_o to_o prove_v the_o same_o but_o she_o will_v not_o assent_v thereunto_o wish_v perhaps_o that_o gain_n and_o benefit_n rather_o to_o some_o of_o her_o

think_v the_o court_n spiritual_a will_v not_o fasten_v the_o executorship_n upon_o the_o wife_n against_o she_o will_n but_o dato_fw-la that_o the_o husband_n though_o the_o will_v be_v not_o prove_v

avoid_v the_o executorship_n and_o sure_o i_o think_v that_o during_o her_o husband_n life_n she_o stand_v conclude_v at_o the_o common_a law_n for_o that_o there_o she_o shall_v not_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v sue_v alone_o as_o executor_n and_o then_o be_v sue_v with_o he_o she_o must_v join_v in_o plea_n with_o he_o viz._n that_o she_o neither_o be_v executor_n nor_o administer_v as_o executor_n and_o then_o this_o act_n of_o her_o husband_n give_v in_o evidence_n will_v as_o i_o take_v it_o cause_n that_o the_o verdict_n be_v find_v against_o she_o bill_n not_o so_o after_o her_o

without_o resolution_n difference_n perhaps_o may_v be_v where_o a_o woman_n so_o make_v executor_n take_v a_o husband_n after_o the_o testator_n death_n before_o either_o prove_v or_o refuse_v to_o

it_o be_v a_o devastation_n the_o three_o point_n touch_v the_o administration_n or_o execution_n of_o the_o office_n of_o executor_n by_o a_o femme_fw-fr covert_n and_o her_o husband_n we_o will_v
