Wherein is disciphered, howe gentlemen vnder the perfect substaunce of pure loue, are oft inueigled with the shadowe of lewde lust: and their firme faith, brought a sleepe by fading fancie: vntil with ioyned with wisedome, doth awake it by the helpe of reason.

to_o it_o but_o if_o she_o do_v my_o mind_n perhaps_o may_v be_v change_v for_o you_o know_v old_a man_n be_v very_o suspicious_a and_o i_o myself_o doubt_n by_o the_o dread_n of_o other_o we_o be_v

pride_n and_o unthriftinesse_n that_o walk_v as_o wary_o as_o you_o can_v the_o old_a doter_n will_v suspect_v he_o pharicles_n i_o speak_v against_o my_o own_o age_n and_o confess_v the_o frailty_n of_o my_o nature_n that_o if_o you_o chance_v to_o find_v the_o like_a fault_n in_o i_o that_o you_o impute_v it_o not_o to_o peevishness_n but_o to_o course_n of_o kind_n for_o you_o pharicles_n profess_v love_n to_o my_o daughter_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o dissimulation_n you_o fain_a faith_n and_o i_o doubt_v of_o flattery_n you_o seem_v to_o offend_v in_o excess_n and_o i_o fear_v you_o faint_v in_o defect_n i_o fear_v more_o than_o you_o can_v forge_v and_o all_o little_a enough_o in_o my_o judgement_n for_o you_o young_a gentleman_n nowadays_o like_a without_o love_n and_o lust_n without_o like_n you_o fancy_v every_o face_n and_o each_o sundry_a month_n you_o must_v have_v a_o new_a mistress_n woo_v as_o you_o think_v with_o great_a wit_n and_o at_o length_n prove_v

you_o if_o it_o be_v not_o i_o be_o glad_a i_o have_v speak_v so_o much_o that_o either_o you_o may_v amend_v or_o else_o make_v a_o end_n for_o if_o my_o sight_n fail_v i_o not_o one_o you_o must_v do_v pharicles_n be_v rub_v on_o his_o gall_a back_n thought_n gonzaga_n be_v a_o subtle_a fox_n and_o need_v not_o to_o learn_v his_o occupation_n and_o that_o he_o can_v see_v the_o gosling_n wink_v be_v broad_a wake_n but_o as_o young_a wit_n be_v rash_a so_o they_o be_v ready_a and_o can_v smell_v a_o tale_n before_o it_o be_v half_o tell_v for_o pharicles_n find_v his_o fetch_n at_o the_o
