Trust no secrets with a woman.

Faire and false.

No warre without a wo∣man.

Women and dogs set men together by the eares.

The'lone sheep's in danger of the wolfe.

Witty women are sweet companions.

Many women many words

Take a hare without a muse, and a woman without a 'scuse.

A woman, asse, and wal∣nut-tree, the more you beat the better be.

As great pity to see a wo∣man weep as a goose goe bare foote.

Page 118

Winter weather and wo∣mens thoughts change oft.

A woman is the weaker vessell.

Tis better being a shrew than a sheep.

Women are alwayes in ex∣treams.

Women are necessarie evils.

A wicked woman and an evill is three half pence worse than th' devill.

Weale, and women, never sam, but sorrow and they can.

Women if they be intreated refuse.

— Say nay as maids doe.

Change of women makes bald knaves.

One woman will not serve his turn.

'Tis safe taking a shive of a cut loafe.

A good housewife is a jewell.

Long be lither, and little be loud.

Faire be foolish, and foule be proud.
