Maysters lets against him and let mee haue your assistance for the stay of his sute tell mee nowe your owne conscience will not these visible creatures glistering in this mans eyes worke a quicker expedition than the bare name of your inuisible Creator but sounding in his eares I am sure you will neuer make question of the matter for the very presence of an hundreth angels but looking him in the face will make him to enter into any attempt yea and sometimes to abuse his Maister be he neuer so wise be he neuer so graue or be he neuer so honorable and to make him by his information perhappes to commit some error Syr saide I if the matter were worth the reasoning I could easily aunswere your fond comparisons but I am not disposed to argue of these matters wil therfore let them rest with this conclusion that God is God and onely good men are men no man without fault nor frée from offence This is very true answered Richard for the Vicar of our parish in a Sermon that he made on Midlent Sunday did speake so much in Latine and sayde N●…mo sine briberi viuit I remember his words well enough and brought so much of hys Sermon away Richard had no sooner thus added his finatiue conclusion but we might sodainly heare a loud pitteous skrike which by the shrilnes of the noise séemed to be some womans voice that was put into some feare or offered some vyolence and bending both our eyes and our steppes towardes the place from whence the noice resounded to our eares we might sée a woman hastily comming towards vs with a trusse or fardle vnder her arme to whom I saide Good woman to séemeth you shold be distressed although I know not for what cause but say what is the matter of this your hasty flight Alas sir said she as I was trauelling towards hell with certaine wares that I haue héere in my fardle which I am sent withall to shewe them to Proserpina fast by heere in the high way there encountered with mee the most deformed and yll-fauoured Monster that euer I did

thou art carrying to hell or doost thou carry them to sell or be they sent as a present Syr sayde shée I haue heere Perewigs of the newe curle Roules and other atlyres for the heade of the new fashion Ruffes of the newe s●…tte newe Cuttes newe Stitches newe gardes newe imbroyders newe deuysed French Uerdingales newe French bodyes newe bumbasting newe bolstering newe vnderlayings and twentie newe deuyses more than I haue nowe spoken of which I am carrying to hell amongest the Ladyes and Gentlewomen that are there who when they lyued in the worlde woulde let slippe no fashion and I am sure nowe they bee there would be right glad of the fashions nowe in vse both to sée them and to haue them In good faith said I they ●…e wares fit for such customers for from hell they came and thether they

growing there agayne into his head had made him starke blinde that he had no manner of sight Our Companion so confidently perswaded in the vertue of his holy Candle that he thought no spirite was able to hurt him stepping forward sayde In nomine Patris what art thou that walkest in this fort thus disturbing the High wayes The other aunswered What I am thou mayst sée very well but howe I came to bee thus perplexed that thou must vnderstand by a further cyrcumstaunce Knowe then that I was a Myller sometimes dwelling in Kent where I kept a Mill which as it seldome tymes wanted water so at no time it wanted grist for that it had the custome of the Countrey at the least fiue or six myles about It fortuned that a very wealthy and substantial Farmer dwelling two or thrée miles frō me sent a sacke of Corne to my Mill by his daughter which came on horse-backe to haue her corne grownd intending to haue gone backe againe with it before night which might very well haue béene doone sauing that wee Myllers are tyed to this custome which is when any young women dooth fortune thus to come to the Mill wee vse as well to take toule of themselues as of their sackes and I firing mine eyes vpon the wench séeing her to be a very hansome young Mayden not aboue ninetéene or twéentie yéeres of age was very loath to let her escape toule-frée aud th●…refore set downe a plot howe I might acquainte her with our custome the which I could not by any meanes per●…rme but by making her to stay all night wherefore I ●…posly put my Myll out of temper and spent all the after noone in repayring and trimming of my Myll and brought her corne to the hopper whē the 〈◊〉 so far passed that it was not possible it could bee grownd off tyll it were very late in the night But the young Mayden séeing her Corne vppon the Myll and desirous to haue it home with her stayed with the better will the which being once grownd off notwithstanding the euening was very farre spent yet shee woulde haue departed home but I pretending much good will to her Father tolde her that if a dogge of her Fathers were in my house at this time of the night I would not shutte him forth of the doores for his Maisters sake much lesse your Fathers daughter wherefore I will intreate you to stay this night in my house and you shall haue a homely bed and a cleane paire of shéetes with such fare as I hope shall content you and for your horse hee shall likewise bee turned into a good pasture fast by my Mill and in the morning all things shall be ready for you to depart so
