She knowing his knocke, with heauie hart beckened to him to hide himelfe in the vawte that he had made in the well, and this while hee toode till, poynting him the place and woulde not open to hir hubande.

At which intant he had opened the dore to hir hulband, o as he aw the yong man when he went into it: and then he knew his wife had born a man more than hee houlde, and that hee had beguiled him, vndertanding the late opening of the doore. And ouercome with rage and hir faulte, he fierlye laid hands on hir, and cruellye lue both hir and hir Louer.
