THere dwelt a Knight at Florence, descended of a noble bloud, which had a waywarde and brauling wife, that dayly wente to hir ghostly Father, to whome she complayned of hir hus∣bandes demeanure: for which he much blamed the knight. It happened not long after, that she
desired hir ghostly father to set hir and hir hus∣band at quiet, whervpon he called him to shrift, saying, that if he came, he doubted not but to make them Prendes agayne. The Knight agrée∣ing, the other required him to make declaration of his faults. In fayth (quod the Knight) it shall not néede, for I know that my wyfe hath often tolde thée al that euer I did, yea and more too.
