for_o i_o be_o much_o afeard_a i_o shall_v respect_v the_o villainy_n you_o offer_v i_o above_o the_o dignity_n of_o your_o estate_n but_o if_o a_o great_a personage_n shall_v reproove_v one_o for_o

the_o cause_n the_o right_a consideration_n be_v this_o if_o i_o offer_v the_o first_o reproach_n disdain_n or_o despite_n the_o quarrel_n be_v the_o other_o his_o part_n it_o be_v to_o challenge_v and_o i_o need_v not_o to_o my_o equal_a to_o make_v the_o challenge_n but_o if_o the_o other_o give_v i_o the_o first_o lie_n or_o like_o disgrcae_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v he_o lie_v again_o but_o i_o must_v needs_o offer_v a_o blow_n or_o challenge_v the_o féeild_n manner_n but_o yet_o the_o villainy_n may_v be_v such_o as_o he_o may_v strain_v good_a manner_n in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o friend_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o dine_a place_n at_o the_o board_n or_o where_o any_o assembly_n be_v a_o man_n may_v not_o offer_v a_o blow_n but_o if_o he_o have_v cause_n give_v he_o he_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o make_v show_n in_o word_n that_o he_o forbear_v the_o present_a occasion_n respect_v the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o company_n this_o be_v no_o place_n to_o grow_v in_o term_n in_o if_o it_o be_v you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o brave_a or_o thus_o these_o be_v too_o great_a villainy_n to_o be_v bear_v if_o it_o be_v not_o in_o my_o own_o house_n where_o thou_o know_v i_o be_o

of_o a_o piece_n of_o my_o dagger_n but_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o shall_v find_v a_o time_n for_o you_o or_o thus_o away_o rascal_n with_o thy_o villainous_a word_n i_o hear_v by_o thy_o great_a

their_o hand_n that_o the_o experience_a in_o that_o trade_n that_o when_o he_o have_v need_n he_o may_v not_o only_o be_v provide_v of_o courage_n but_o also_o of_o word_n phrase_n and_o manner_n to_o it_o curragious_o and_o in_o the_o stout_a and_o séemly_a manner_n for_o all_o that_o i_o have_v write_v hitherto_o of_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v rather_o to_o show_v that_o in_o every_o

right_a manner_n then_o of_o a_o meaning_n to_o show_v any_o skill_n of_o i_o in_o the_o same_o belong_v nothing_o to_o my_o profession_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v now_o say_v something_o how_o he_o shall_v take_v the_o iesting_n the_o praysyng_n and_o the_o thanks_n of_o hia_fw-la superior_n and_o equal_n as_o thing_n that_o be_v both_o fit_a for_o i_o to_o write_v and_o shall_v of_o he_o be_v often_o and_o soon_o put_v in_o practice_n first_o i_o will_v discrive_v some_o sundry_a manner_n of_o jest_v one_o be_v when_o a_o man_n will_v charge_v his_o familly_a friend_n a_o man_n familly_a may_v be_v either_o his_o equal_a or_o his_o better_a that_o listen_v of_o courtesy_n to_o become_v his_o equal_a or_o one_o somewhat_o his_o inferior_a to_o who_o he_o listen_v by_o like_a

good_a to_o have_v varitie_n of_o phrase_n and_o not_o to_o answer_v still_o after_o one_o manner_n to_o his_o mere_a equal_a thus_o you_o do_v well_o to_o exercise_v your_o tongue_n in_o matter_n of_o no_o troth_n you_o may_v hap_v else_o to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o lie_n teller_n or_o thus_o go_v too_o you_o will_v have_v every_o body_n see_v what_o a_o lavish_a tongue_a fellow_n you_o be_v

it_o beléeve_v for_o it_o gréeve_v he_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o honest_a man_n than_o himself_o or_o thus_o go_v too_o you_o be_v best_o leave_v your_o tattle_a lest_o i_o fall_v

be_v so_o well_o know_v as_o no_o body_n here_o will_v believe_v thou_o ¶_o now_o in_o the_o like_a case_n to_o a_o man_n better_a must_v be_v other_o phrase_n as_o thus_o you_o say_v truth_n sir_n i_o have_v be_v take_v for_o a_o sore_a fellow_n at_o that_o when_o i_o be_v a_o yongeman_n or_o thus_o if_o my_o credit_n be_v not_o very_o good_a this_o be_v enough_o to_o disgrace_v i_o quite_o
