nourish_v and_o feed_v agreat_a many_o of_o poor_a people_n that_o fault_n be_v great_a enough_o for_o to_o provoke_v upon_o they_o not_o the_o ire_n and_o wrath_n of_o diana_n as_o it_o be_v write_v of_o actaeon_n but_o that_o of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o further-more_a there_o be_v yet_o another_o evil_n which_o be_v that_o the_o hunter_n all_o the_o while_o they_o bestow_v and_o loose_v in_o hunt_v can_v employ_v themselves_o to_o their_o labour_n and_o till_v of_o their_o ground_n or_o to_o work_v upon_o any_o other_o their_o occupation_n for_o after_o that_o they_o be_v once_o give_v and_o addict_v unto_o it_o they_o despise_v their_o household_n and_o their_o affair_n and_o do_n and_o be_v not_o so_o careful_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o afterward_o they_o fall_v into_o poverty_n &_o need_n wherefore_o one_o may_v well_o say_v that_o not_o only_o their_o dog_n but_o also_o their_o hawk_n &_o horse_n have_v eat_v they_o not_o only_o because_o they_o have_v bestow_v all_o their_o substance_n and_o good_n to_o nurrishe_v they_o but_o also_o because_o that_o through_o the_o occasion_n of_o they_o they_o be_v become_v evil_a

to_o understande_v by_o this_o fable_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o do_v nothing_o which_o may_v displease_v the_o god_n and_o provoke_v they_o to_o anger_n afterwards_o he_o say_v that_o in_o time_n past_a all_o man_n labour_v with_o their_o hand_n &_o do_v not_o their_o business_n by_o servant_n &_o strange_a people_n but_o by_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o all_o those_o which_o be_v diligent_a in_o labour_n be_v rich_a and_o the_o more_o they_o busy_v they_o self_n the_o rich_a they_o wax_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n those_o that_o be_v idle_a &_o

say_v happen_v unto_o actaeon_n for_o the_o cause_n before_o rehearse_v and_o therefore_o he_o be_v make_v a_o common_a proverb_n who_o afterward_o do_v geve_v matter_n unto_o the_o fable_n and_o feigning_n of_o the_o poete_n theophrast_n there_o be_v yet_o at_o this_o day_n many_o house_n not_o only_o of_o rich_a gentleman_n but_o also_o of_o rich_a yeoman_n and_o husbandman_n which_o have_v

but_o that_o the_o poet_n have_v feign_v this_o change_v of_o actaeon_n that_o great_a hunter_n change_v into_o a_o heart_n and_o devour_v by_o his_o dog_n but_o for_o to_o signify_v the_o folly_n of_o a_o great_a many_o of_o foolish_a hunter_n which_o destroy_v themselves_o by_o their_o hunt_n and_o feed_v their_o dog_n and_o if_o that_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v in_o gentleman_n which_o make_v it_o a_o daily_a occupation_n it_o be_v yet_o more_o to_o be_v condemn_v in_o laborer_n and_o artificer_n when_o they_o leave_v undo_v their_o work_n and_o business_n for_o to_o geve_v themselves_o
