equall to make the chalenge But if the other giue mee the first lie or like disgrace it is not inough to say hee lieth againe but I must needs offer a blow or chalenge the feeild If an inferiour offer his better ill speeche though the better began with him yet he must not doo with him as with his equall that is to tarie till hee make the chalenge but hee muste accompt himself asmutch disgraced that his inferiour hath replied vpon him as though his equall had begonne with him And therefore if the place serue he must reward that reply with a rap on the face with a dagger But if his inferiour be no Gentleman he may chuse without any imputation of cowardise whether hee wil either chalenge him or receaue any chalenge at his handes but turne one of his men to him except that inferiour bee so well esteemed for his valiancie as the Gentleman may be thought if hee haue not otherwise tried himselfe to make refusall for feare In this case so that hee make show by woordes that hee is contented to abase himselfe to reforme the pride of a malaperte knaue a man were better to take the quarell himselfe then to rest condempned of the companie specially if the rest of the companie bee of reputacion Thus mutche for the person and the cause touching the place and the manner thus Within the Queenes house beyng she court no man for any cause must giue or require any blowe if they doo they lose their hande In the house of mutch a mans better he may not offer a blow but if anie be offred him hee must needes if hee can requite it at the least shew his endeuour theretoo In the house of his freeinde I meane in the dinyng place at the bourde or where any assembly is a man may not offer a blowe but if hee haue cause giuen him hee shal doo well to make shew in woords that hee forbeareth the present occasion respecting y disturbance of the cōpanie In a mans owne house or his Fathers hee must not offer a straunger a blow to breede the quarel on but y in those places it wil be thought his courage is grounded vpon hope of his freeindes and seruants helpe more then vpon any value And it wil bee no disgrace to the other to forbeare him but rather taken for wisedome where hee may bee ouermatched Therfore the manner that is to bee obserued in those places when prouocation of quarell is giuen by others is to bee vttred in woords thus This is no place to growe in termes in if it were you would not bee so braue Or thus These bee too greate villanies to be borne if it were not in mine owne house where thou knowest I am able to eate thee vp Or thus Yf it were not for troublyng this companie I would bee your caruer of a peece of my dagger but doubt not but I shall finde a time for you Or thus No moo woords this matter shal bee eased anon you shall see Or thus I thanke you syr nay take your pleasure I could rayle too but then I should bee like sutch a rascall as thy selfe tell mee this soone if thou see I forget it but if I doo take mee for sutche a cowardly boy as I will take thee for till thou meete mee in sutche a place Or thus Away rascall with thy villanous woordes I heare by thy great boaste I shall passe my iourney quietly at sutche an hower in sutche a place I know I shall haue cause to report thee for a good quiet fellow I no more a doo you know my minde If any man bee chalenged if hee dare to meet an other in any place hee may prouided that the chalenged haue receiued no villanie very well answere thus What I dare doo shal be seen when the quarell is mine I haue no matter to you if you bee angrie seeke you the redresse as you may I meane not to balke the hie way nor step a stride out of my way for you you may easely finde me at your pleasure howbeit I protest I woulde bee lothe to haue to doo with any man marie if I bee interrupted of my walke I must doo as well as I can to keepe my footyng Or thus If I dare not you must holde mee excused I promise you in deede I dare make no sutche set matches but my buizenesse lieth sutch away if any go about to hinder mee of my iourney hee may hap finde that hee angreth mee for in deed I loue not to bee letted of my purpose but I wil not quarell with a goose Or thus Alas alas dare it were a sorie goaste that durst not encounter sutche a guest but it would greeue one to bee driuen to forsake his countrie for ●●n●kyng a ditche with ●●●che a carren But to conclude in this I shall aduise y yonge Gentleman to enforme himselfe afore hee haue neede by 〈…〉 at their handes that the experienced in y trade that when hee hath neede hee may not only bee prouided of courrage but also of woords phrase and manner to it curragiously and in the stoutest and seemliest manner for all that I haue written hithertoo of this matter hath byn rather to shew that in euery thyng there is a meane to bee vsed in one sorte to

profession and therefore ▪ I will now say somethyng how hee shall take the iestyngs the praysynges and the thankes of his superiours and equals as thinges that are bothe fitter for mee to write and shall of him bee oftener and sooner put in practise First I will discriue some sundrie manner of iestyng One is when a man will charge his famillier freinde a mans famillier may bee either his equall or his better that list of curtesie to become his equall or one somewhat his inferiour to whom hee list by like curtesie to make his equall with some ill matter that all the companie knoweth to bee vntrue In that kinde there is no difficultie to answere but it is good to haue varitie of phrase and not to answeare still after one manner to his mere equall thus You doo well to exercise your tongue in matters of no trouth ▪ you may hap els to bee taken for a lie teller Or thus Go too you will haue euery bodie see what a lauish tongued fellow you bee that cannot so mutche as keepe counsell of that hee knoweth not what would hee doo thinke you of that hee knoweth Or thus Nay I dare say you would fayne haue it beleeued for it greeueth him that any man should bee taken for honester man than
