« At night W. Batelier comes and sups with us ; and after supper, to have my head combed by Deb, which occasioned the greatest sorrow to me that ever I knew in this world ; for my wife, coming up suddenly, did find me imbracing the girl con my hand sub su coats ; and endeed, I was with my main in her cunny. I was at a wonderful loss upon it, and the girl also ; and I endeavoured to put it off, but my wife was struck mute and grew angry, and as her voice came to her, grew quite out of order ; and I do say little, but to bed ; and my wife said little also, but could not sleep all night ; but about 2 in the morning waked me and cried, and fell to tell me as a great secret that she was a Roman Catholique and had received the Holy Sacrament ; which troubled me but I took no notice of it, but she went on from one thing to another, till at last it appeared plainly her trouble was at what she saw ; but yet I did not know how much she saw and therefore said nothing to her. But after her much crying and reproaching me with inconstancy and preferring a sorry girl before her, I did give her no provocations but did promise all fair usage to her, and love, and foreswore any hurt that I did with her – till at last she seemed to be at ease again. »
