employed both theyr time treasures for the building with great state and the ordering without annoiances of vaults common shoares sinckes but without al contradiction priuies Touching which as I

for burning Dianaes temple Wel Gods blessing on his hart he is a toward yong mā and hath great cause to thanke God for his knowledg like the old dunce in Brazen nose colledge in Doctour Colmers time who comming from a schoole among certaine sophisters from a certaine Quodlibet with a great sigh thanked god that now at last after seuen yeeres studie in the Predicables he could define Proprium Now fie vpon it fie vpon it what is this to AIAX you trifle you are fond marie that's true Wel if this please him not let him stay till a second digestion and hee shall haue Assets inter main as assurance
