that_o and_o honest_a man_n that_z be_v desirous_a of_o honour_n do_v differre_fw-la in_o this_o point_n from_o a_o covetous_a man_n that_o for_o preyse_fw-mi and_o honour_n will_v take_v peyne_n

that_o i_o have_v very_o well_o perceyve_v that_o where_o you_o say_v how_o a_o man_n must_v teach_v a_o steward_n and_o a_o deputy_n and_o that_o you_o teach_v he_o to_o owe_v you_o good_a love_n and_o good_a wylle_n and_o like_o wise_a that_o you_o go_v about_o to_o make_v he_o diligent_a able_a to_o rule_v and_o also_o rightful_a but_o where_o you_o say_v that_o he_o which_o will_v be_v diligent_a in_o deed_n in_o husbandry_n must_v learn_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v how_o and_o in_o what_o season_n i_o thynk_v we_o have_v over_o pass_v hit_v somewhat_o to_o quick_o and_o to_o

but_o though_o i_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o well_o yet_o be_o i_o never_o the_o wise_a how_o to_o occupy_v husbandry_n and_o if_o i_o be_v even_o now_o determine_v to_o fall_v to_o husbandry_n i_o will_v think_v i_o be_v like_o a_o physician_n the_o which_o goth_v about_o and_o look_v upon_o seek_v man_n yet_o can_v he_o not_o tell_v what_o be_v good_a for_o they_o and_o therefore_o to_o

that_o if_o you_o will_v you_o may_v teach_v hit_v unto_o other_o and_o trewe_o other_o artificer_n and_o craft_n man_n do_v hide_v and_o keep_v privey_o to_o themselves_o the_o best_a point_n of_o

husbandry_n tech_v they_o that_o be_v conversant_a in_o it_o to_o be_v of_o gentyl_o manner_n and_o disposition_n soc._n forsooth_o this_o be_v a_o good_a beginning_n and_o now_o i_o have_v hear_v you_o tell_v this_o moche_n it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o stop_v i_o from_o inquer_a of_o you_o further_o thereof_o and_o therefore_o sing_v you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o easy_a to_o learn_v do_v the_o rather_o show_v hit_v i_o for_o it_o be_v no_o shame_n to_o you_o to_o teach_v that_o that_o be_v easy_a but_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o great_a shame_n to_o i_o if_o i_o can_v it_o not_o
