Of all us three concaptives at Oxford, I am kept most strait, and with least libertie, Vel quia viro in cuius aedibus, ego custodior, uxor dominatur (licet modo sit Prefectus civitatis) mulier vetula, morosa, & superstiosiss. quae etiam hoc sibi laudi ducit quod me dicatur arctissime & cautissime custodire, vir autem ipse Irischius nomine, mitis satis est oimbus, •xori vero plusquam obsequentiss. Licet uxorem (uti nosti) nunquam habuerim, tamen ex hac quotidiana consuetudine, quem cum istis coniugibus habeo, videor mihi nonnihil posse intelligere quam grave malum & intolerabile jugum sit cum mala muliere in coniugio coll•cari. Recte ergo sapiens dixit, uxor bona donum Dei: & iterum mulieris bonae beatus vir. Vel haec inquam causa est, vel quia á magnis magistratibus (nescio quas ob causas) illud est, ut ita fieret, ipsis mandatum: idque illi si quando de mea nimia seruitute apud eos conqueror, 1sedulo saepe rursus mihi inculcant.
