all_o with_o one_o breath_n yea_o quoth_v the_o angler_n so_o a_o knave_n may_v flatter_v his_o master_n and_o abuse_v his_o friend_n and_o all_o with_o one_o tongue_n but_o what_o of_o that_o i_o

warm_a and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fire_n it_o be_v cold_a oh_o quoth_v the_o angler_n i_o understand_v you_o by_o a_o candle_n which_o in_o the_o dark_a give_v a_o pretty_a light_n but_o in_o the_o sun_n it_o go_v out_o true_a quoth_v the_o scholar_n so_o be_v a_o fool_n hold_v wise_a among_o wit_n of_o weak_a understanding_n but_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o discretion_n he_o be_v quick_o

say_v he_o that_o be_v so_o conceit_a of_o his_o wit_n as_o to_o go_v from_o all_o good_a understanding_n let_v he_o go_v hang_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o school_n and_o god_n bless_v i_o from_o

like_o a_o hasty_a pudding_n soon_o hot_a soon_o cold_a the_o phlegmatic_a be_v like_o a_o culle_n consume_v into_o jelly_n the_o sanguine_a like_o a_o cherry_n tart_a that_o will_v say_v come_v eat_v i_o ere_o i_o come_v at_o it_o and_o the_o melancholy_n like_o a_o brown_a loaf_n that_o have_v be_v half_o burn_v in_o the_o bake_n true_o sir_n quoth_v the_o scholar_n i_o have_v not_o often_o

of_o a_o disease_n well_o quoth_v the_o angler_n what_o soever_o you_o note_v by_o your_o read_n this_o i_o find_v by_o observation_n that_o fire_n be_v good_a in_o winter_n and_o water_n in_o

i_o like_v not_o to_o study_v too_o far_o into_o nature_n to_o forget_v god_n or_o to_o confound_v reason_n indeed_o if_o physician_n can_v judge_v of_o simples_n they_o may_v think_v of_o com_n but_o
