A68419	Siuqila too good, to be true : omen : though so at a vewe yet all I tolde you is true, I vpholde you, now cease to aske why? for I can not lye : herein is shewed by way of dialogue, the wonderful maners of the people of Mauqsun, with other talke not friuolous.

wife_n with_o we_o for_o they_o have_v learn_v s._n paul_n lesson_n too_o well_o for_o that_o know_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o congregation_n so_o be_v their_o husband_n their_o head_n and_o they_o remember_v the_o promise_n and_o vow_v they_o make_v to_o their_o husband_n at_o their_o marriage_n whereby_o neither_o poverty_n nor_o sickness_n nor_o any_o other_o trouble_n can_v release_v they_o of_o their_o obedience_n but_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v disobedient_a their_o husband_n may_v not_o bear_v they_o siuqila_n what_o then_o omen_n her_o husband_n must_v persuade_v she_o with_o gentleness_n siuqila_n but_o what_o if_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v omen_n then_o the_o minister_n there_o must_v persuade_v she_o by_o y_z e_z scripture_n to_o obey_v her_o husband_n aswell_o in_o poverty_n as_o in_o wealth_n for_o who_o persuasion_n if_o she_o will_v not_o amend_v than_o she_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o wear_v such_o a_o attire_n as_o be_v appoint_v for_o disobedient_a wife_n which_o when_o she_o wear_v all_o y_fw-es e_fw-es rest_v of_o the_o wife_n will_v wonder_v at_o she_o which_o be_v the_o grete_a infamy_n to_o she_o that_o can_v be_v &_o also_o her_o husband_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o find_v she_o neither_o food_n nor_o raiment_n until_o she_o become_v obedient_a to_o he_o siuqila_n that_o be_v a_o very_a good_a way_n to_o make_v they_o obey_v if_o it_o be_v but_o for_o fear_n of_o famish_v but_o i_o pray_v you_o sir_n what_o remedy_n have_v the_o wife_n if_o her_o husband_n beat_v or_o misuse_v she_o omen_n there_o be_v none_o now_o y_fw-fr ●_o beat_v or_o misuse_v their_o wife_n with_o we_o but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o one_o be_v serve_v with_o we_o long_o since_o that_o do_v beat_v his_o wife_n cruel_o who_o be_v as_o obedient_a and_o love_a to_o he_o as_o any_o can_v be_v siuqila_n how_o i_o pray_v you_o omen_n the_o woman_n be_v so_o godly_a and_o honest_a that_o she_o take_v it_o patient_o and_o do_v never_o complain_v on_o he_o therefore_o siuqila_n who_o then_o omen_n her_o neighbour_n that_o dwell_v next_o unto_o they_o and_o when_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o town_n hear_v of_o it_o he_o send_v immediate_o both_o for_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v before_o he_o see_v the_o wife_n so_o pitiful_o a●ayed_v with_o stroke_n he_o ask_v the_o woman_n if_o her_o husband_n have_v beat_v she_o in_o that_o order_n wife_n who_o say_v no_o &_o then_o her_o neighbour_n say_v to_o the_o ruler_n sir_n we_o hear_v he_o beat_v she_o so_o cruel_o that_o we_o come_v into_o he_o &_o find_v he_o beat_v of_o she_o desire_v he_o then_o to_o leave_v off_o but_o neither_o the_o humbleness_n of_o his_o wife_n kneel_v to_o he_o on_o her_o knee_n neither_o our_o earnest_n desire_v of_o he_o can_v once_o move_v he_o to_o leave_v beat_v of_o she_o and_o then_o we_o make_v such_o a_o noise_n that_o more_o company_n come_v in_o &_o so_o by_o strength_n we_o make_v he_o to_o stay_v or_o else_o i_o think_v he_o will_v have_v kill_v she_o then_o when_o the_o wife_n that_o be_v beat_v hear_v they_o say_v so_o she_o knéele_v before_o the_o ruler_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o be_v good_a to_o her_o husband_n siuqila_n there_o be_v few_o woman_n with_o we_o will_v have_v so_o take_v their_o beat_n so_o patient_o excuse_v their_o husband_n cruelty_n or_o entreat_v for_o their_o husband_n so_o earnest_o nay_o many_o of_o they_o rather_o will_v not_o only_o have_v complain_v of_o their_o husband_n themselves_o but_o perhaps_o will_v have_v make_v the_o thing_n worse_o than_o it_o be_v therefore_o that_o woman_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v register_v among_o patient_a and_o love_a wife_n but_o what_o say_v the_o ruler_n then_o to_o the_o ●ore_o beat_a woman_n omen_n forsooth_o he_o say_v thus_o unto_o she_o o_o good_a woman_n i_o lament_v thy_o case_n thou_o love_v thy_o husband_n better_o than_o he_o love_v thou_o but_o because_o thou_o know_v thy_o duty_n to_o thy_o husband_n and_o he_o do_v not_o know_v his_o duty_n to_o thou_o &_o for_o that_o i_o see_v thou_o be_v godly_a wise_a patient_a &_o obedient_a &_o know_v better_v how_o to_o gonvern_v thy_o house_n than_o he_o therefore_o my_o judgement_n be_v that_o you_o u._fw-mi shall_v receive_v all_o &_o pay_v all_o &_o be_v chief_a ruler_n of_o thy_o house_n and_o shall_v take_v a_o account_n of_o this_o thy_o husband_n of_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v get_v until_o he_o become_v a_o love_a husband_n to_o thou_o and_o do_v use_v himself_o in_o all_o point_n as_o a_o good_a husband_n shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o stand_v up_o and_o content_v thyself_o for_o thus_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o then_o he_o turn_v to_o her_o cruel_a husband_n and_o say_v how_o can_v thou_o love_v thy_o neighbour_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o thou_o can_v love_v thy_o dear_a friend_n though_o he_o do_v never_o so_o much_o for_o thou_o how_o can_v thou_o love_v thy_o parent_n or_o how_o can_v thou_o love_v thy_o child_n or_o any_o other_o or_o how_o can_v thou_o love_v thy_o superior_n or_o thy_o sovereign_a that_o hate_v thyself_o thou_o think_v i_o lie_v because_o i_o say_v thou_o hate_v thyself_o no_o i_o do_v not_o lie_v for_o unless_o thou_o have_v hate_v this_o woman_n thy_o wife_n which_o be_v thyself_o thou_o will_v not_o thus_o cruel_o without_o all_o pity_n have_v beat_v she_o for_o by_o christ_n own_a word_n man_n and_o wife_n be_v two_o soul_n and_o one_o word_n body_n if_o thou_o do_v see_v a_o man_n beat_v one_o of_o his_o hand_n with_o his_o other_o hand_n will_v thou_o think_v that_o he_o love_v that_o hand_n that_o he_o do_v so_o beat_v for_o be_v not_o that_o hand_n part_n of_o himself_o then_o how_o can_v i_o be_v persuade_v that_o thou_o love_v thyself_o because_o thou_o have_v thus_o cruel_o beat_v thy_o most_o love_a and_o obedient_a wife_n which_o be_v thyself_o and_o one_o of_o thy_o hand_n yea_o and_o thy_o better_a hand_n to_o unless_o thou_o be_v better_a thyself_o and_o because_o thou_o have_v follow_v christ_n saying_n and_o the_o king_n commandment_n so_o well_o which_o be_v do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o do_v unto_o thou_o as_o thou_o have_v do_v therefore_o i_o decree_n and_o judge_v here_o that_o as_o thou_o have_v use_v thy_o wife_n so_o shall_v thou_o be_v use_v that_o be_v thou_o shall_v be_v tie_v fast_o to_o a_o post_n and_o four_o of_o the_o stout_a wife_n that_o dwell_v next_o unto_o thou_o and_o be_v most_o angry_a with_o thou_o for_o give_v wife_n such_o a_o evil_a example_n to_o their_o husband_n to_o use_v they_o so_o shall_v beat_v thou_o with_o four_o good_a cudgel_n till_o thou_o be_v as_o well_o beat_v as_o thou_o have_v beat_v thy_o wife_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v immediate_o in_o my_o presence_n for_o i_o will_v not_o depart_v hence_o until_o i_o see_v this_o my_o judgement_n full_o execute_v and_o then_o present_o there_o be_v a_o post_n set_v uppe_o purposely_o therefore_o and_o the_o cruel_a husband_n be_v fast_o tie_v thereto_o and_o four_o of_o the_o say_v stoul_a wife_n come_v with_o strong_a cudgelle_n by_o the_o ruler_n commandment_n and_o do_v beat_v he_o lusty_o that_o he_o cry_v out_o again_o and_o one_o of_o the_o wife_n say_v to_o he_o sirrah_n do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o therewith_o reach_v he_o such_o a_o blow_n that_o make_v he_o to_o shrink_v a_o other_o of_o they_o say_v if_o stroke_n be_v good_a for_o your_o wife_n they_o be_v good_a for_o you_o &_o then_o she_o give_v he_o such_o a_o stroke_n that_o she_o make_v his_o side_n ache_v the_o three_o woman_n not_o forget_v her_o turn_n speak_v not_o so_o low_a but_o that_o one_o may_v well_o hear_v she_o say_v be_v it_o good_a

beat_v he_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v lewse_v from_o the_o post_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o now_o go_v your_o way_n home_o and_o see_v that_o you_o suffer_v the_o rest_n of_o our_o judgement_n to_o be_v perform_v until_o you_o have_v learn_v what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o husband_n and_o how_o to_o behave_v yourself_o and_o use_v your_o wife_n and_o i_o trust_v you_o will_v remember_v this_o lesson_n do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o then_o the_o ruler_n depart_v
