remember_v that_o ease_n and_o disease_n make_v woman_n oftentimes_o unchaste_a and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o many_o learned_a writer_n have_v set_v down_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o husband_n towards_o the_o wife_n it_o shall_v suffice_v to_o say_v that_o he_o must_v account_v of_o his_o wife_n as_o his_o only_a treasure_n on_o earth_n and_o the_o most_o precious_a jewel_n he_o have_v in_o the_o world_n therefore_o he_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o by_o his_o fault_n the_o price_n of_o she_o fall_v not_o be_v must_v also_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o due_a to_o the_o wife_n than_o the_o faithful_a honest_a and_o love_a company_n of_o her_o husband_n he_o must_v also_o vouchsafe_v in_o figne_n of_o love_n to_o deliver_v unto_o she_o his_o thought_n and_o secret_a counsel_n for_o many_o have_v find_v much_o profit_n in_o follow_v their_o wife_n council_n yea_o a_o man_n be_v happy_a that_o have_v a_o love_a wife_n to_o impart_v his_o good_a fortune_n unto_o who_o hearty_a rejoice_v at_o it_o re-doublesh_a his_o joy_n and_o if_o he_o disclose_v any_o ill_a hap_n unto_o she_o she_o lighten_v his_o grief_n either_o by_o comfort_v he_o love_o or_o by_o help_v to_o bear_v a_o part_n of_o it_o patient_o now_o if_o the_o husband_n chance_v to_o espy_v any_o fault_n in_o his_o wife_n either_o in_o word_n gesture_n or_o do_n he_o must_v reprehend_v she_o not_o reproachful_o nor_o angry_o but_o as_o one_o that_o be_v careful_a of_o her_o honesty_n and_o what_o opinion_n other_o carry_v of_o she_o and_o this_o must_v always_o be_v do_v secret_o between_o themselves_o remember_v the_o say_n that_o a_o man_n must_v neither_o chide_v nor_o play_v with_o his_o wife_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o other_o for_o the_o one_o bewrape_v her_o

chap._n ix_o ¶_o herein_o be_v show_v the_o love_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o wife_n towards_o her_o husband_n and_o how_o that_o a_o woman_n that_o regard_v she_o own_o credit_n aught_o to_o refuse_v the_o company_n of_o a_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o ill_a name_n or_o deserve_v any_o cause_n of_o suspicion_n but_o now_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v some_o say_v that_o those_o wife_n have_v good_a hap_n who_o husband_n be_v obedient_a to_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o wife_n commandment_n i_o term_v that_o rather_o mishap_n then_o ill_a luck_n for_o that_o such_o husband_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v fool_n dolt_n ass_n beast_n and_o be_v common_o term_v wittol_n that_o they_o believe_v so_o well_o that_o they_o make_v it_o a_o ill_a conscience_n to_o mistrust_v any_o ill_n though_o they_o see_v a_o other_o and_o their_o wife_n in_o bed_n together_o whereof_o it_o come_v often_o to_o pass_v that_o their_o silly_a wife_n be_v like_o a_o body_n without_o a_o head_n and_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o go_v astray_o and_o though_o they_o be_v of_o good_a discretion_n and_o understanding_n yet_o the_o world_n make_v no_o account_n of_o they_o whereas_o contrary_a wise_a the_o wise_a doom_n valour_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o husband_n scrueth_n as_o a_o buckler_n to_o defend_v the_o good_a name_n of_o his_o wife_n who_o thereby_o be_v bad_a in_o more_o reputation_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o woman_n be_v glad_a to_o meat_n with_o husband_n that_o be_v gentle_a nature_a and_o a_o little_a foolish_a that_o they_o may_v keep_v they_o under_o but_o in_o my_o opinion_n those_o which_o have_v rather_o command_v over_o fool_n then_o obey_v the_o wise_a the_o like_a to_o those_o that_o have_v rather_o lead_v a_o blind_a man_n in_o the_o way_n then_o follow_v another_o have_v his_o perfect_a sight_n and_o know_v the_o direct_a way_n they_o must_v take_v but_o such_o wife_n need_v not_o make_v boast_n of_o their_o sufficientis_fw-la for_o at_o
