Warres are pleasant in the eare, not in the eye.
Sweet are to speake of but not for to trie.
The good wife weares the breeches, the good man the hornes.
Any thing for a quiet life
A curst wife is like a waspe.
Wives must be had, be they good or bad.
Other men have their wives aswell as you.
The gray mare's the better horse.
A man must aske his wife if he shall thrive.
There's no greater shame than to be a cuckold.
The more master weares no breeches.
Wedding and ill wintering tames both man & beast.
They that wed, ere they be wise▪ shall die before they thrive.
A good Jack makes a good Gill.
A wife is a fine thing, house keeping is a shrew.

No lack to a wife.
Husbands are in heaven whose wives chide not
The second wife is best belo∣ved.
He that makes his wife his master must bee set a gra∣zing.
