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 pray_v you_o go_v on_o how_o decide_v you_o the_o quarrel_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o quoth_v the_o scholar_n by_o only_a magis_fw-la and_o minus_n for_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o cold_a it_o be_v 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 decide_v now_o the_o next_o point_n that_o i_o learn_v in_o natural_a philosophy_n be_v this_o naturam_fw-la expellas_fw-la furca_fw-la licet_fw-la usque_fw-la recurret_fw-la that_o which_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o bone_n will_v never_o out_o of_o the_o flesh_n in_o deed_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o turn_v black_a into_o any_o other_o colour_n kat_n after_o kind_n will_v be_v ever_o good_a mouse_n hunt_v in_o deed_n quoth_v the_o angler_n a_o jack-daw_n be_v never_o like_o a_o tassell-gentill_a but_o by_o your_o leave_n what_o be_v your_o next_o note_n this_o quoth_v the_o scholar_n contra_fw-la principia_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la disputandum_fw-la which_o be_v this_o in_o effect_n there_o be_v no_o dispute_v against_o principle_n oh_o quoth_v the_o angler_n you_o mean_v with_o prince_n and_o good_a reason_n for_o their_o pretogative_n be_v great_a and_o therefore_o their_o power_n must_v be_v absolute_a their_o displeasure_n fear_v and_o their_o will_n obey_v in_o deed_n quoth_v the_o scholar_n you_o say_v true_a he_o be_v high_a mind_v then_o witted_a that_o will_v contend_v with_o his_o superior_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o sentence_n there_o be_v some_o rascal_n call_v atheist_n that_o will_v dispute_v against_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n oh_o quoth_v the_o scholar_n leave_v they_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o as_o you_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 his_o learning_n amen_n &_o i_o to_o quoth_v the_o scholar_n but_o now_o to_o a_o other_o point_n a_o particular_a ad_fw-la generale_fw-mi non_fw-fr est_fw-la tenenda_fw-la ratio_fw-la though_o one_o man_n be_v true_a heart_a every_o knave_n be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v no_o quoth_v the_o angler_n for_o one_o swallow_n make_v not_o summer_n the_o priest_n may_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n and_o yet_o many_o a_o knave_n in_o the_o parish_n and_o uirgine_n wax_n be_v for_o christmas_n light_v which_o be_v not_o sell_v by_o every_o chandler_n true_a quoth_v the_o scholar_n some_o man_n grow_v wealthy_a with_o good_a conscience_n but_o it_o be_v not_o general_a in_o these_o day_n but_o to_o leave_v these_o sentence_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o further_o of_o my_o learning_n i_o find_v by_o my_o read_n that_o man_n be_v compound_v of_o the_o four_o element_n of_o fire_n water_n earth_n and_o air_n how_o quoth_v the_o angler_n be_v it_o possible_a the_o fire_n drink_v up_o the_o water_n and_o the_o earth_n dry_v up_o the_o air_n and_o when_o they_o be_v consume_v what_o be_v leave_v to_o make_v man_n of_o oh_o sir_n quoth_v the_o scholar_n i_o thus_o understand_v the_o four_o element_n choler_n fleame_z blood_n and_o melancholy_a indeed_o qd_n the_o angler_n i_o think_v you_o say_v true_a a_o choleric_a fellow_n will_v be_v angry_a with_o his_o own_o shadow_n and_o a_o phlegmatic_a woman_n have_v her_o nose_n ever_o drop_v a_o melancholy_n fool_n be_v like_o a_o dream_n of_o a_o dry_a summer_n and_o a_o sanguine_a face_a youth_n will_v bleed_v at_o the_o nose_n if_o he_o see_v a_o fair_a woman_n oh_o sir_n quoth_v the_o scholar_n you_o speak_v merry_o but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o the_o choleric_a man_n be_v soon_o augrie_a and_o soon_o please_v the_o phlegmatic_a be_v a_o better_a land_n man_n then_o a_o sea_n man_n the_o sanguine_a be_v a_o fine_a courtier_n and_o the_o melancholy_n a_o great_a student_n just_o quoth_v the_o angler_n the_o choleric_a be_v 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 hear_v such_o descant_n upon_o a_o plain_a song_n but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o ground_n it_o be_v hard_o for_o the_o physician_n to_o minister_v cure_n 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 summer_n air_n sweet_a in_o y_z e_z spring_n and_o earth_n most_o comfortable_a in_o the_o harvest_n and_o good_a cheer_n and_o honest_a company_n make_v a_o merry_a hart_n and_o a_o sound_a body_n 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 they_o shall_v come_v by_o few_o pound_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o my_o jest_n i_o pray_v you_o go_v on_o with_o your_o good_a instruction_n well_o sir_n than_o qd_n the_o scholar_n the_o next_o be_v this_o narura_n semper_fw-la gignit_fw-la sibi_fw-la similem_fw-la a_o eagle_n never_o hatch_v a_o owl_n nor_o of_o a_o lion_n come_v a_o monkey_n true_a qd_n the_o scholar_n a_o bird_n be_v common_o know_v by_o his_o feather_n for_o every_o long_a bill_n be_v not_o a_o woodcock_n no_o quoth_v the_o angler_n that_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o master_n constable_n may_v be_v wealthy_a and_o his_o son_n a_o unthrift_n oh_o quoth_v the_o scholar_n he_o may_v perhaps_o take_v after_o the_o mother_n who_o do_v eat_v up_o her_o cream_n when_o she_o shall_v have_v keep_v it_o for_o butter_n but_o to_o tell_v truth_n a_o greyhound_n and_o a_o mastiff_n never_o breed_v but_o a_o mongrel_n but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o further_o of_o my_o note_n i_o learn_v the_o property_n quality_n and_o effect_n of_o many_o thing_n as_o first_o and_o chief_o of_o man._n reason_n be_v proper_a to_o every_o man_n honesty_n to_o many_o a_o man_n now_o reason_n with_o honesty_n effect_n credit_n with_o commendation_n well_o say_v qd_n the_o angler_n and_o contrariwise_o a_o man_n may_v have_v reason_n to_o enrich_v himself_o but_o if_o his_o quality_n be_v to_o be_v a_o thief_n or_o a_o traitor_n the_o effect_n will_v be_v shame_n and_o hang_v if_o he_o chance_v to_o escape_v hell_n after_o very_a true_a quoth_v the_o scholar_n but_o now_o in_o other_o thing_n as_o in_o corn_n to_o grow_v be_v the_o property_n to_o make_v bread_n his_o quality_n and_o his_o effect_n be_v our_o nouriture_n but_o quoth_v the_o angler_n if_o the_o ground_n be_v not_o well_o till_v the_o seed_n well_o fowne_v and_o the_o thou_fw-mi well_o knead_v you_o may_v happen_v as_o good_a be_v fast_v as_o to_o keep_v your_o stomach_n for_o a_o loaf_n but_o what_o say_v you_o of_o quantity_n indeed_o quoth_v the_o scholar_n you_o say_v true_a a_o good_a quantity_n of_o money_n will_v help_v to_o grace_v a_o little_a wit_n but_o i_o have_v see_v one_o no_o high_a than_o a_o horse-loaf_n wise_a than_o a_o world_n of_o wormsmeat_n but_o indeed_o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o your_o rose_n you_o must_v look_v for_o your_o sweet_a water_n from_o your_o still_o oh_o sir_n quoth_v the_o angler_n you_o mean_v according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o your_o wit_n you_o must_v look_v for_o the_o sweet_a of_o your_o invention_n sir_n quoth_v the_o scholar_n how_o soever_o my_o invention_n be_v i_o be_o sure_a you_o be_v so_o quick_a that_o if_o i_o be_v again_o to_o go_v to_o school_v i_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o such_o a_o master_n well_o qd_n the_o angler_n flattery_n be_v a_o idle_a point_n of_o
