thereof_o â_o lord_n ãâã_d he_o be_v a_o great_a degree_n than_o a_o gentleman_n and_o therefore_o hard_o to_o be_v make_v then_o a_o gentleman_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o think_v and_o know_v the_o

welth_n but_o evermore_o the_o rich_a and_o wealthy_a our_o host_n answer_v because_o quoth_v he_o the_o poor_a will_v to_o be_v rich_a and_o so_o be_v not_o content_a with_o their_o present_a estate_n but_o to_o desire_v alteration_n and_o change_n and_o all_o such_o person_n be_v more_o meet_a to_o be_v command_v then_o to_o command_v in_o a_o common_a wealth_n but_o of_o the_o rich_a and_o wealthy_a it_o be_v clean_o otherwise_o for_o they_o be_v already_o that_o which_o the_o poor_a have_v desire_v to_o be_v and_o therefore_o content_a and_o consequent_o friend_n and_o furtherer_n of_o peace_n and_o unity_n which_o be_v never_o nor_o never_o will_v be_v where_o they_o have_v authority_n in_o their_o hand_n that_o be_v not_o content_a with_o their_o own_o present_a state_n and_o so_o great_a hazard_n of_o the_o common_a peace_n lie_v therein_o 4_o the_o next_o question_n by_o méâââhat_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o son_n and_o child_n of_o great_a purchaser_n namely_o ãâã_d &_o and_z merchant_n be_v common_a ââ_o such_o he_o riâââ_n and_o âââmelesse_a unthrift_n pierce_n answerer_v that_o he_o know_v no_o reason_n therein_o but_o he_o think_v it_o a_o very_a secret_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o parent_n that_o have_v eat_v four_o grape_n and_o set_v their_o children_n âââch_a ââââedge_n our_o host_n say_v it_o argue_v great_a equity_n and_o conscience_n in_o their_o child_n in_o that_o they_o mean_v to_o buy_v wit_n and_o to_o pay_v as_o âéer_o therefore_o as_o their_o father_n and_o friend_n have_v sell_v they_o 5_o the_o next_o question_n by_o our_o host_n what_o be_v first_o the_o reason_n of_o give_v and_o wear_v of_o mourn_a gown_n and_o garment_n for_o such_o as_o be_v decease_v pierce_n answer_v he_o think_v it_o be_v in_o favour_n of_o our_o iâbicilitie_n and_o weakness_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n be_v not_o so_o pâone_v and_o ready_a to_o weep_v so_o sore_o namely_o rich_a widow_n who_o caânot_n weep_v so_o ready_o as_o a_o dog_n can_v make_v water_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v think_v expedient_a that_o such_o mourning_n be_v and_o that_o âuch_o ââ_o coâld_v not_o mourn_v for_o other_o business_n they_o may_v be_v allow_v unto_o theââ_n soon_o honest_a and_o coulorable_a mean_n to_o mourn_v by_o attorney_n as_o we_o see_v that_o in_o matter_n of_o law_n he_o that_o for_o âther_o necessary_a business_n can_v attend_v upon_o his_o cause_n be_v receive_v by_o his_o attorney_n and_o of_o these_o great_a heir_n executory_a and_o rich_a widow_n that_o be_v otherwise_o necessary_o occupy_v and_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o weep_v it_o be_v think_v in_o like_a manner_n also_o ãâã_d think_v profitable_a for_o the_o party_n themselves_o for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o honest_a mean_n of_o publication_n aswell_o of_o the_o widowhââd_n as_o also_o of_o her_o great_a hevine_v therefore_o whereby_o the_o more_o counsellor_n may_v resort_v unto_o she_o for_o in_o strange_a place_n a_o widow_n be_v know_v from_o other_o by_o her_o weep_a and_o sorrow_n 6_o the_o next_o question_n by_o pierce_v what_o differ_v a_o covetous_a person_n from_o a_o niggard_n ¶_o our_o host_n answer_v a_o niggard_n be_v afraid_a to_o want_v himself_o and_o therefore_o husband_v aâd_v spare_v and_o oft_o live_v beside_o his_o own_o but_o the_o covetous_a be_v curse_v afraid_a lest_o other_o shall_v not_o want_v and_o therefore_o keep_v and_o engross_v all_o to_o defraud_v the_o hungry_a soul_n â_o and_o ãâã_d the_o poor_a want_n bread_n 7_o the_o next_o question_n by_o i_o why_o such_o folâe_a as_o delight_v in_o rich_a and_o costly_a apparel_n and_o also_o in_o deliâât_n and_o dainty_a neat_n and_n drink_v do_v not_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o open_a street_n as_o they_o do_v wear_v their_o apparel_n ¶_o pierce_v answer_v because_o that_o for_o their_o delicate_a fare_n no_o body_n will_v honour_v or_o reverence_v they_o except_o they_o give_v they_o part_n with_o they_o which_o because_o they_o purpose_v not_o to_o do_v therefore_o they_o hold_v it_o best_a to_o eat_v it_o wtin_n door_n and_o in_o secret_a but_o in_o their_o brave_a apparel_n there_o lie_v some_o honour_n at_o the_o least_o as_o they_o suppose_v because_o they_o see_v many_o that_o meet_v they_o strike_v their_o sail_n thereat_o although_o as_o great_a and_o the_o like_a reason_n in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o 8._o the_o next_o question_n by_o our_o host_n why_o the_o best_a and_o dainty_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o such_o as_o breed_v and_o make_v the_o most_n and_o best_a nourishment_n in_o the_o body_n do_v not_o also_o breed_v the_o best_a manner_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n i_o answer_v because_o that_o common_o folk_n take_v to_o much_o of_o they_o and_o have_v so_o great_a felicity_n therein_o the_o rather_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o voluptuousness_n and_o sensuality_n may_v thrive_v but_o the_o chief_a and_o best_a reason_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o meâ_n may_v know_v that_o godliness_n and_o virtue_n be_v not_o tie_v unto_o meat_n and_o drink_n neither_o do_v consist_v therein_o as_o christ_n have_v say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v neither_o meat_n nor_o drink_n and_o to_o move_v we_o therefore_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v to_o live_v and_o not_o to_o live_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v 9_o the_o next_o question_n by_o i_o what_o possession_n be_v the_o best_a and_o sure_a and_o least_o subject_n unto_o ravine_v and_o violence_n our_o host_n answer_v the_o best_a thing_n and_o the_o worst_a for_o virtue_n which_o be_v the_o best_a possession_n a_o man_n may_v carry_v far_o enough_o without_o be_v rob_v thereof_o and_o or_o that_o either_o man_n or_o woman_n offer_v to_o take_v it_o from_o he_o and_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o best_a so_o
