Why does Winthrop use an analogy to the status of women within the family to explain his understanding of liberty? Why does Winthrop consider ""natural"" liberty dangerous?

A. Winthrop uses the analogy of a women in the act of choosing her husband, she is choosing to be subject to him. She has the liberty of choice. It is this liberty that is analogous with Winthrop's understanding of Moral Liberty. Which is the proper end and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is a liberty that only which is good, just, and honest. Moral liberty meant obedience to religious and governmental authority. So in this sense one has the liberty to obey the laws, and in the case of a women, her husband.

B. Natural Liberty, or acting without restraint is a "liberty to do evil as well as good". Winthrop insists that this liberty is "incompatible and inconsistent with authority. The exercise of maintaining this liberty makes men grow more evil, and in time to be worse than brute beasts.
