have_v be_v rather_o to_o show_v that_o in_o every_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o mean_a to_o be_v use_v in_o one_o sort_n to_o inferior_n and_o in_o another_o sort_n to_o superior_n and_o equal_n to_o the_o end_n to_o provoke_v he_o to_o learn_v the_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 beelong_v nothing_o to_o my_o profession_n and_o therefore_o ▪_o i_o will_v now_o say_v somthe_a how_o he_o shall_v take_v the_o iestyng_n the_o praise_n and_o the_o thanks_n of_o his_o 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 descrive_v some_o sundry_a manner_n of_o jest_n one_o be_v when_o a_o man_n will_v charge_v his_o familiar_a friend_n a_o man_n familiar_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

no_o difficulty_n to_o answer_v but_o it_o be_v good_a to_o have_v variety_n of_o phrase_n and_o not_o to_o answer_n 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 ▪_o 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 that_o can_v so_o much_o as_o keep_v counsel_n of_o that_o he_o know_v not_o what_o will_v he_o do_v think_v you_o of_o that_o he_o know_v or_o thus_o nay_o i_o dare_v say_v you_o will_v fain_o have_v it_o believe_v for_o it_o grieve_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 a_o tell_n of_o true_a tale_n or_o thus_o nay_o tell_v on_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o be_v gospel_n that_o

true_a or_o at_o the_o least_o not_o impossible_a with_o thing_n mere_o false_fw-mi and_o unpossible_a as_o if_o the_o hearer_n shall_v either_o receive_v all_o indifferent_o or_o reject_v all_o

so_o condemn_v any_o part_n though_o not_o the_o whole_a then_o swear_v flout_v and_o quarel_v will_v be_v offer_v to_o justify_v the_o matter_n and_o this_o it_o be_v will_v they_o say_v to_o tell_v

if_o any_o will_v rid_v it_o be_v first_o to_o let_v the_o other_o to_o tell_v all_o his_o lie_n &_o to_o let_v he_o pass_v with_o a_o smile_n in_o the_o sleelie_a as_o they_o will_v call_v it_o rather_o than_o to_o use_v either_o admiration_n affirmation_n or_o negation_n but_o if_o he_o be_v urge_v to_o say_v his_o opinion_n as_o he_o shall_v if_o it_o be_v a_o verse_n of_o course_n then_o short_o to_o answer_v thus_o or_o the_o like_a i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o it_o may_v be_v true_a for_o i_o for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o seem_v unpossible_a and_o yet_o prove_v true_a matter_n of_o faith_n may_v not_o be_v reason_v on_o or_o thus_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a good_a tale_n i_o mean_v not_o to_o scan_v any_o further_a on_o the_o matter_n and_o these_o or_o the_o like_a word_n may_v be_v utter_v with_o such_o a_o grace_n as_o the_o countenance_n may_v show_v the_o mind_n and_o yet_o the_o speech_n keep_v they_o from_o quarrel_n but_o if_o they_o will_v

of_o his_o friend_n to_o make_v account_n of_o though_o he_o suspect_v no_o practice_n at_o all_o but_o yet_o he_o must_v be_v put_v of_o with_o good_a word_n as_o thus_o i_o thank_v you_o you_o
