be_v of_o reputation_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o person_n and_o the_o cause_n touch_v the_o place_n and_o the_o manner_n thus_o within_o the_o queen_n house_n be_v she_o court_v no_o man_n for_o any_o

thou_o know_v i_o be_o able_a to_o eat_v thou_o up_o or_o thus_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o trouble_v this_o company_n i_o will_v be_v your_o carver_n of_o a_o piece_n of_o my_o dagger_n but_o doubt_v

your_o pleasure_n i_o deed_n can_v rail_v too_o but_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v like_o such_o a_o rascal_n as_o thyself_o tell_v i_o this_o soon_o if_o thou_o see_v i_o forget_v it_o but_o if_o i_o do_v take_v i_o for_o such_o a_o cowardly_a boy_n as_o i_o will_v take_v thou_o for_o till_o thou_o meet_v i_o in_o such_o a_o place_n 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 boast_n i_o shall_v pass_v my_o journey_n quiet_o at_o such_o a_o hour_n in_o such_o a_o place_n i_o know_v i_o shall_v have_v cause_n to_o report_v thou_o for_o a_o good_a

challenge_v have_v receive_v no_o villainy_n very_o well_o answer_v thus_o what_o i_o dare_v do_v shall_v be_v see_v when_o the_o quarrel_n be_v i_o i_o have_v no_o matter_n to_o you_o if_o you_o be_v

but_o i_o will_v not_o quarrel_v with_o a_o goose_n or_o thus_o alas_o alas_o dare_v it_o be_v a_o sorry_a goaste_n that_o dare_v not_o encounter_v such_o a_o guest_n but_o it_o will_v grieve_v one_o to_o be_v drive_v to_o forsake_v his_o country_n for_o zinck_v a_o ditch_n with_o ●●●che_n a_o carrion_n but_o to_o conclude_v in_o this_o i_o shall_v advise_v y_fw-mi young_a learn_v gentleman_n to_o inform_v himself_o afore_o he_o have_v need_n by_o 〈…〉_o at_o their_o hand_n that_o the_o experience_a in_o you_o trade_n that_o when_o he_o have_v need_v 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 seemly_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 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 inferior_a to_o who_o he_o listen_v by_o like_a courtesy_n to_o make_v his_o equal_a with_o some_o ill_a matter_n that_o all_o the_o company_n know_v to_o be_v untrue_a in_o that_o kind_a there_o be_v 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
