the_o cause_n the_o right_a consideration_n be_v this_o if_o i_o offer_v the_o first_o reproach_n disdain_n or_o despite_n the_o quarrel_n be_v the_o other_o his_o part_n it_o be_v to_o challenge_v

of_o his_o friend_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o dine_a place_n at_o the_o board_n or_o where_o any_o assembly_n be_v a_o man_n may_v not_o offer_v a_o blow_n but_o if_o he_o have_v cause_n give_v he_o he_o

in_o if_o it_o be_v you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o brave_a or_o thus_o these_o be_v too_o great_a villainy_n to_o be_v bear_v if_o it_o be_v not_o in_o my_o own_o house_n where_o thou_o know_v i_o be_o

to_o it_o curragious_o and_o in_o the_o stout_a and_o séemly_a manner_n for_o all_o that_o i_o have_v write_v hitherto_o of_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v rather_o to_o show_v that_o in_o every_o

right_a manner_n then_o of_o a_o meaning_n to_o show_v any_o skill_n of_o i_o in_o the_o same_o belong_v nothing_o to_o my_o profession_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v now_o say_v something_o how_o he_o shall_v take_v the_o iesting_n the_o praysyng_n and_o the_o thanks_n of_o hia_fw-la superior_n and_o equal_n as_o thing_n that_o be_v both_o fit_a for_o i_o to_o write_v and_o shall_v of_o he_o be_v often_o and_o soon_o put_v in_o practice_n first_o i_o will_v discrive_v some_o sundry_a manner_n of_o jest_v one_o be_v when_o a_o man_n will_v charge_v his_o familly_a friend_n a_o man_n familly_a may_v be_v either_o his_o equal_a or_o his_o better_a that_o listen_v of_o courtesy_n to_o become_v his_o equal_a or_o one_o somewhat_o his_o inferior_a to_o who_o he_o listen_v by_o like_a courtesy_n to_o make_v his_o equal_a with_o some_o ill_a matter_n that_o all_o the_o company_n know_v to_o be_v untrue_a in_o that_o kind_a there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n to_o answer_v but_o it_o be_v good_a to_o have_v varitie_n of_o phrase_n and_o not_o to_o answer_v still_o after_o one_o manner_n to_o his_o mere_a equal_a thus_o you_o do_v well_o to_o exercise_v your_o tongue_n in_o matter_n of_o no_o troth_n you_o may_v hap_v else_o to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o lie_n teller_n or_o thus_o go_v too_o you_o will_v have_v every_o body_n see_v what_o a_o lavish_a tongue_a fellow_n you_o be_v

it_o beléeve_v for_o it_o gréeve_v he_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o honest_a man_n than_o himself_o or_o thus_o go_v too_o you_o be_v best_o leave_v your_o tattle_a lest_o i_o fall_v a_o tell_n of_o true_a tale_n or_o thus_o nay_o tell_v on_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o be_v gospel_n that_o come_v out_o of_o those_o lip_n of_o you_o or_o thus_o this_o be_v nothing_o fine_o handle_v of_o you_o you_o shall_v have_v say_v sumth_v that_o have_v carry_v some_o likelihood_n with_o it_o or_o thus_o go_v too_o i_o will_v make_v you_o no_o more_o of_o my_o counsel_n see_v you_o be_v such_o a_o blab_n or_o thus_o be_v this_o the_o trust_v you_o perform_v with_o your_o friend_n to_o tell_v all_o and_o more_o too_o or_o thus_o hold_v thy_o peace_n fool_n for_o my_o honesty_n be_v so_o well_o know_v as_o no_o body_n here_o will_v believe_v thou_o ¶_o now_o in_o the_o like_a case_n to_o a_o man_n better_a must_v be_v other_o phrase_n as_o thus_o you_o say_v truth_n sir_n i_o have_v be_v take_v for_o a_o sore_a fellow_n at_o that_o when_o i_o be_v a_o yongeman_n or_o thus_o if_o my_o credit_n be_v not_o very_o good_a this_o be_v enough_o to_o disgrace_v i_o quite_o or_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v true_a that_o you_o say_v but_o i_o warrant_v you_o i_o handle_v the_o matter_n so_o cunning_o that_o there_o be_v no_o proof_n to_o be_v have_v of_o it_o or_o thus_o it_o be_v great_a pity_n any_o body_n shall_v doubt_v of_o that_o matter_n or_o thus_o thus_o a_o man_n credit_n be_v put_v in_o danger_n by_o you_o if_o the_o hearer_n be_v not_o the_o more_o favourable_a or_o thus_o some_o measure_n other_o man_n trade_n by_o their_o own_o but_o i_o will_v be_v loath_a any_o body_n shall_v think_v i_o mean_v so_o by_o you_o ¶_o a_o other_o kind_n of_o jest_v with_o a_o man_n friend_n be_v when_o they_o charge_v he_o to_o have_v say_v or_o do_v something_o of_o a_o third_o person_n that_o only_o himself_o and_o his_o friend_n know_v to_o be_v feign_v but_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v tell_v with_o such_o a_o resemblance_n of_o truth_n as_o the_o hearer_n may_v doubt_v whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no._n in_o this_o case_n also_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o make_v

thus_o you_o have_v lose_v much_o good_a labour_n now_o if_o you_o be_v not_o beléeve_v or_o thus_o you_o may_v sell_v this_o good_a cheap_a see_v it_o be_v of_o your_o own_o make_n or_o thus_o i_o

peraduentuoe_v when_o you_o wake_v you_o shall_v find_v it_o otherwise_o or_o thus_o loe_o now_o you_o have_v hear_v say_v so_o and_o be_v of_o a_o good_a faith_n you_o béeleeve_v it_o straight_o or_o thus_o nay_o no_o doubt_n but_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a if_o you_o say_v it_o or_o thus_o do_v i_o you_o speak_v your_o
