Yea further, not as a dropping only that driveth a man from his house and home, and that when it raineth; butu as a continual dropping in such a day: So that a bad wife is worse then a quartane ague, wherein a man hath two good days for one evil. He that hath an evil wife, is as one that hath an evil soul, a guilty conscience, that evermore sticketh by him, that every-where accompanieth him, is a continual evil companion with himx at bed and board, ysuch as he cannot shift of or shun. And no marvel therefore if it be deemed the greatest temporal evil, because the most continual, and the most inward, for a man to be matched with an evil wife, or a woman with an evil husband: For what is said of the one, is as true of the other, the relation between them being alike.
