"Are you not my husband and my lord?
Was not the woman made to be subject to the man?
The man was created after the likeness of God, and the woman after the likeness of man.

So the woman is only the man's second self; and he must have compassion on her in love; and he must give her of his spirit, and influence her understanding from his understanding.

Therefore your duty is to instruct me, my husband; and mine is, to learn of you.

And of all the women in the world, to no one is this duty made so easy as to me; for God has been gracious to me and given me as my husband a king whose prudence, wisdom, and learning are the wonder of all the world." [Footnote: The queen's own words, as they have been given by all historical writers.
See on this point Burnet, vol.I, p.
