110 Of the rule of women of their husbands.

A Certaine man caried aboute throughe the whole worlde a payre of bootes, whiche he would giue that man who feared not hys wife. He could finde none a great while, whych would take them. But at length a countreyman receiued them, to whom he sayde: Soft let me put them in thy bosome and wype them. But the countreymā (bicause his shirt was new & white) said: I dare not lest my wife taūt me for blacking my shirt: then he toke away the bootes & bet him therwith, saying: Get thée hence in the Diuels name, bicause thou dreadest thy wife for a little trifle, y^u didst meane to deceiue me of my bootes, and he straightway departed. But I thinke he hath not yet bestowed them iustly of any man.
