growes to perfection in the heart and shall not money bee a seruant then of necessitie to attend the commaundement of Loue fie on this Market-matches where mariages are made without affections and obedience is performed by a grieued patience no let money be vsed as a Seruant to reason and not a Maister of Loue. Chre. Oh fine boy I almost finde where you are but let me tell you though your wordes hang well together yet me thinkes money lies better together for if a Wench that hath money Loue thee spend of her purse or els thou wantest wit if thou haue money and loue her that hath none her wit hath made a foole of thee for tell me a tale of a Tub of eyes eares and hearts obiect and subiect and wisdome and reason without money t is not worth a whiffe for Aurum potabile is a strange quintescence it will make age young againe it will giue the heart a life beyond all the phisicke of the world why Gold is halfe a God on the earth it hath such power among people Let a wench be wealthy and set out in her brauerie though she bee painted for her beautie and scarce gentill for her parentage yet if she catch the name of a Lady she must bee honoured like Queene Guineuer if she be but neere a Princesse she shal bee almost worshipped like a Goddesse Why goe no further but to our owne neighbours what a slut will haue a husband if shee haue but a little money and what fine Wenches match with Clownes but onely for their Farmes and their stockes Pam. Yea but Father what followes Iealouzie and Cuckoldry and Bastardry Rogery she cannot Loue him nor he her youth cannot loue age age will be Iealous of youth and loue wil haue his working and therfore as I said before the cause is couetousnes and the roote of all euill Chre. Well said againe boy but yet t will not serue your turne for I wil haue an other bowte with you for money is a matter of more moment then you make account of why money makes the medicine for the sicke pleades the Clients cause maintaines the Marchants Trade makes the Soldiers fight and the Craftsman worke the Trauailer treade lightly and the olde Mare trot and the young Tit Amble it doth I knowe not what nor almost what can on earth be done without it It frameth the instrumēt tuneth the strings playeth the lessō singeth the song it furnisheth the court graceth the citty maintaineth the coūtry In summe let me tel thee it is a matter of such moment as there is neither youth nor Beauty Valour nor Learning wit nor wisdome but if it want money to grace it it shall haue little grace in the world and therefore let him be first counted wise that gets it then wise that keepes it and last wise that knowes how to vse it and whatsoeuer opinions are of it holde you with me this assurance of it that he is wise who hath it and so contrarie to all them that say against it say you he is wise that is rich Pam. Oh Father I am sorry to heare you speake so feelingly of your loue to money which you haue bene long in getting carefull in keeping and will be sorrowfull in leauing Oh let it not haue such power ouer you to make you a slaue to your Seruant it is but a drosse trodden on by the feete of Beastes serueth the begger as a greater person the wicked as the vertuous the Iewe as the Christian embrodereth the Horses cloathes as the Lords cloake and the Maides kertell as her Ladies petticoate it begetteth Pride breedeth warres procureth Treasons and ruynes countries and yet let me say this of it the fault is not in it selfe but in the vse of it and for the good that is done by it is not of it selfe but in the wisedome of him or her that hath the vse of it and therefore let it bee left indifferent good or euill or neither of both but fit for either as it is vsed and count him rather wise that knowes how to vse it then how to get it for many get it by a wicked Father which being wise will not leaue it to a wicked Sonne many get it by Dice and Cardes which being wise will imploy it in better courses many get it by an olde blinde widow that haue wit to spend it with sweeter creature many get it by piracie at Sea that employ it in a better course at Land In briefe the getting of it sometime is so grieuous to a good conscience as can approue no wisedome in it and the employing of it may be to so good an ende as prooueth great wisdome in the mannaging of it and therefore in my iudgement knowing no man wise through riches but many rich through wisdome I holde him rich that is wise not him wise that is rich Chre. So then you would haue me that haue been carefull to get money which I haue lying by me for necessarie vses bestowe it vpon you that knowe as you thinke how to prooue more wisdome in the imploying of it it may bee I will doe so with parte of it in hope that you that can speake so well of it will knowe as well what to doe with it but before we come to that point let mee talke a little further with you touching your trauaile what haue you chiefely noted for your benefit Pam. The natures of the Soiles the inhabitants of the Countries the dispositions of the people and the wisdome of the Gouernours To the first I noted according to the climat of wihat heate or coldenes drie or moystnes what fruite what store and in what season what Riuers fresh or salt what Cattell and Fowle and Fish what Mineralles and what Mines Chre And for Fish you could bring none home aliue nor sweete and haue not our Seas and fresh-waters as good Fish as other And for Cattell there can bee no better Beefe nor Mutton then ours Now for Fowle both Land and water Fowle there are in our heathes woodes and fens I thinke as good and as great varietie with vs as any where but it may be far fetcht and deere bought is good for Ladies and if you haue hit on a little monster as a Camelion or an Indian Flie it may bee if you can vse the matter hansomely fooles may giue you money for the sight of it now for Mineralls how much money soeuer you found in the country I feare you haue brought but a little out of it and therfore for these notes I think for any profit you made of your trauaile you had bin as good a taried at home Nowfor the people I thinke they are as we are in shape though by some of those outlandish they mishape thēselues in their apparel I know not what to say to them but if the mē be rich it is like they will keepe their mony and if poore they will either begge cheat or
