Some also have such froward & scolding 1wives, that they can at no time be in quiet with them, they are so ladylike, and high in the inn steppe, chiefly if they brought any substance with them, than they think, that their husbands ought of very duty to give them place, to forbear them, and to suffer them to have the preeminence, & to do what they lift. The beasts will not be in subjection to their husbands, but rather take 2upon them to rule, as though not only their goods, but also them selves were not their husbands and at his commandment, yea an that by the appointment of God. This oftentimes causeth the husband to give his mind to strange women, and to break the bonds of wedlock. ⟨image 12⟩The woman is not behind, but shapeth him an hood of the same cloth, and so is holy matrimony miserably rent and torn.
