a great darke hole and vent (very deepe) for the ſincke of the houſe. It happened ſo by chaunce one daye that hir yong Louer was no ſooner entered into the houſe, and the gate but newly put too, but ſtraight the huſband of this wanton wife knocked alſo at the doore. She knowing his knocke, with heauie hart beckened to him to hide himſelfe in the vawte that ſhe had made in the well, and this while ſhee ſtoode ſtill, poynting him the place and woulde not open to hir huſbande. This yong man flight with feare (which is euer at hand to amaze the offender) ranne round about like a headleſſe flie, and miſſing the well (as one ſtricken blinde for ſodeine feare) leapt into the deepe darke vawte ſeruing the ſincke of the houfe. At which inſtant ſhe had opened the dore to hir hulband, ſo as he ſaw the yong man when he went into it: and then he knew his wife had born a man more than ſhee ſhoulde, and that ſhee had beguiled him, vnderſtanding the late opening of the doore. And ouercome with rage and hir faulte, he fierſlye laid hands on hir, and cruellye ſlue both hir and hir Louer.
To be vnaduiſed, and to doe thinges raſhly which we ought not, bringeth many times death,
