For the dyue•the enemy of all unite crepeth in here also, and laboureth fast, that he may likewise have his portion, and that he may make ⟨p. li⟩the married folks not to agree well the one with the tother. Against whom, they that are now married, must diligently watch and fight, and give the Devil no place, but remember well, what may follow unto them by such to early discord. And the same may they learn by this ensample following: if two boards at the first be not well coupled and joined the one to the 1other, they never are fastened right afterward. But if the first coupling & joining together be good, than can there afterward no violence drive the boards asunder, yea the whole board doth sooner break, than the gluing of them together.

Agaynst whome, they that are nowe marryed, must diligently watch and fyght, and gyue the Dyuell no place, but remember well, what maye followe vnto them by suche to early discorde. And the same maye they learne by thys ensample followyng: if two boordes at the fyrst be not well cowpled and ioyned the one to the 1other, they neuer are fastened right afterwarde. But if the fyrst couplyng & ioyning togyther be good, than can there afterward no violēce driue the boordes asunder, yea the whole boorde dothe sooner breake, thē the glewyng of thē togyther.
