¶The dutie of olde women.
THe dutie of olde womē is, as in
age, so in maners, to be sober,
sage, & auncient, to weare no light
apparell, but such rayment as be∣come
their age & profession, to be no
tatlers, but to order their tounges
discretely, to be no tauerne hūters,
nor geuen to drunckennes, but to
lead a sober life, to prouoke no yoūg
women vnto le••udnes and disho∣nestie,
but rather to shew thē selues
liuely glasses & naturall myrrours
of all godlines and honestie.
be in such raymēt as becōmeth ho∣lines,
not being false accusers, not
geuen to much wine, but that they
teach honest thinges, to make the
younge women sober minded, to
loue their husbandes, to loue theyr
children, to be discrete, chaste, hus∣wifely,
good, obedient to their hus∣bandes,
that the worde of God bee
not euill spoken of.
