Overprecise

"For the consideration of ease, the unreasonablest of all others, and most unbecoming the nature of a man, declares it selfe at full the weakenes of the condition, having a longer traine of discomodites then any of the rest ; and deerely shall yow pay for yowr ease, when yow shall obtayne it by the industry of a wyfe; for I never found in all my observations, since I could deserne of any thing, but when soever the woman did governe, or semed to doe soe, the man grew straight into contempt; and although I know it is a very godly thing, to hold ones selfe constant and loving to a wyfe, indeede, yett withall have I often perceaved, to hold it overprecise in outward shew gives somme danger of an attribute of uxoriousnesse; nether did I ever know any man that was long constant to a mistresse, but lost of his reputation of a gallant and worthy man."
