Sentence:  The man, too, who has been matrimonially <WSD>"cozened</WSD>", "would all the world might be <WSD>cozened</WSD>," for he has been <WSD>cozened</WSD>, and beaten too; but with him the cudgel is "hallowed;" he would "hang it o'er the altar;" perhaps for the reason given by the "Merry Wives of Windsor," because "it hath done meritorious service;" and no sooner is he, by a seemingly merciful disposition of Providence, released from the cudgeler, but he is in haste to be <WSD>cozened</WSD> and beaten again. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  To cheat; to defraud; to deceive, usually by small arts, or in a pitiful way. (from late 16th c.)
