warm_a satisfy_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o so_o far_o my_o money_n have_v be_v my_o servant_n and_o so_o far_o he_o shall_v be_v you_o why_o so_o you_o may_v say_v of_o a_o house_n when_o the_o first_o cause_n be_v to_o keep_v man_n dry_a to_o make_v more_o room_n than_o there_o be_v use_v for_o more_o chimney_n then_o be_v fire_n for_o more_o window_n than_o there_o be_v wit_n for_o and_o more_o paint_v and_o guild_v then_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o why_o shall_v not_o money_n lie_v still_o rather_o than_o be_v employ_v in_o such_o unnecessary_a humour_n pam._n oh_o sir_n be_v not_o many_o poor_a man_n employ_v in_o their_o labour_n many_o man_n of_o trade_n exercise_v in_o their_o art_n and_o be_v not_o the_o beauty_n thereof_o comely_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o beholder_n which_o may_v as_o well_o praise_v god_n in_o the_o workmanship_n as_o have_v pride_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o oh_o it_o be_v the_o ill_a mind_n of_o one_o that_o misconstrueth_n the_o good_a meaning_n of_o a_o other_o and_o therefore_o money_n be_v make_v for_o necessary_a use_n and_o many_o necessary_a use_n in_o the_o build_n of_o fair_a house_n money_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v and_o the_o builder_n for_o his_o wisdom_n to_o be_v honour_v chre._n i_o thank_v you_o sir_n but_o for_o myself_o he_o have_v serve_v i_o to_o build_v room_n necessary_a for_o my_o use_n and_o no_o further_o and_o for_o a_o house_n fit_a for_o your_o call_v my_o money_n shall_v serve_v you_o and_o no_o further_o why_o you_o perhaps_o will_v defend_v feast_n and_o banquet_v when_o money_n be_v only_o to_o be_v employ_v for_o necessity_n to_o satisfy_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n pam._n without_o offence_n i_o think_v i_o may_v say_v that_o feast_n be_v as_o necessary_a as_o fast_n for_o as_o the_o one_o do_v pull_v down_o the_o flesh_n from_o rebel_a against_o the_o spirit_n so_o do_v the_o other_o give_v the_o spirit_n more_o life_n in_o rejoice_v upon_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o joy_n as_o in_o many_o excellent_a history_n as_o well_o divine_a as_o human_a we_o may_v read_v but_o to_o allow_v thereby_o of_o drunkenness_n or_o glotonny_n i_o have_v no_o such_o meaning_n as_o at_o marriage_n holy_a day_n and_o honest_a merry_a meeting_n a_o little_a too_o much_o be_v better_a then_o much_o too_o little_a further-more_a the_o variety_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n as_o ale_n beer_n wine_n sugar_n and_o spice_n be_v the_o better_o know_v wherein_o god_n be_v glorify_v and_o praise_v for_o his_o blessing_n and_o the_o vintner_n the_o grocer_n the_o comfit-maker_n the_o cook_n the_o brewer_n and_o the_o butcher_n do_v by_o the_o vent_n of_o their_o ware_n the_o better_o maintain_v their_o trade_n so_o that_o i_o think_v i_o may_v well_o say_v that_o money_n in_o the_o provision_n of_o feast_n and_o banquet_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v as_o a_o servant_n of_o necessity_n chre._n so_o sir_n you_o say_v well_o but_o money_n have_v serve_v i_o for_o the_o good_a loaf_n and_o the_o cheese_n beef_n and_o mutton_n and_o now_o and_o then_o a_o goose_n and_o a_o chick_n or_o a_o duck_n of_o my_o own_o breed_n or_o your_o mother_n and_o a_o cup_n of_o ale_n or_o beer_n of_o our_o own_o brew_n this_o outlandish_a drink_n this_o wine_n be_v more_o costly_a than_o wholesome_a i_o warrant_v you_o the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o country_n stand_v upon_o corn_n and_o sheep_n and_o where_o have_v you_o a_o ploughman_n or_o a_o shepherd_n that_o almost_o know_v what_o drink_n it_o be_v or_o care_n for_o it_o when_o he_o see_v it_o no_o ale_n and_o beer_n be_v our_o best_a liquor_n and_o therefore_o so_o far_o as_o may_v kill_v hunger_n and_o quench_v thirst_n money_n have_v serve_v i_o and_o so_o far_o shall_v it_o serve_v you_o but_o whether_o be_v more_o wisdom_n in_o get_v money_n to_o serve_v necessity_n and_o keep_v it_o for_o necessary_a cause_n or_o to_o study_v trick_n to_o lay_v it_o out_o upon_o nice_a invention_n pam._n true_o sir_n as_o i_o say_v before_o money_n be_v but_o reason_n servant_n &_o wisdom_n be_v reason_n master_n they_o if_o reason_n the_o servant_n to_o wisdom_n can_v find_v mean_n even_o among_o fool_n to_o get_v money_n either_o by_o labour_n art_n or_o fortune_n and_o wisdom_n only_o be_v the_o director_n of_o reason_n in_o the_o employment_n of_o that_o money_n to_o the_o necessary_a comfort_n and_o honour_n of_o man_n i_o hold_v it_o a_o great_a wisdom_n well_o to_o dispose_v of_o a_o servant_n business_n then_o to_o come_v by_o the_o servant_n for_o money_n be_v every_o man_n servant_n in_o one_o sort_n or_o other_o but_o wisdom_n live_v but_o with_o a_o few_o who_o she_o make_v more_o honourable_a than_o the_o money-master_n chre._n yea_o how_o can_v that_o be_v what_o honour_n be_v there_o without_o money_n the_o best_a scholar_n without_o money_n may_v make_v a_o hard_a dinner_n and_o go_v in_o a_o threadbare_a coat_n and_o for_o all_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o school_n have_v little_a grace_n in_o the_o world_n pam._n yet_o learning_n in_o itself_o be_v honourable_a and_o if_o he_o be_v gracious_a in_o patience_n either_o to_o bear_v his_o cross_n or_o to_o attend_v his_o comfort_n then_o deserve_v he_o the_o honour_n of_o that_o virtue_n that_o learning_n have_v teach_v he_o &_o be_v wrong_v if_o he_o have_v it_o not_o give_v he_o for_o shall_v a_o ass_n be_v hold_v wise_a because_o he_o have_v put_v on_o a_o fox_n skin_n or_o like_o a_o wolf_n can_v pray_v on_o a_o lamb_n or_o if_o a_o fool_n that_o have_v but_o so_o much_o wit_n as_o to_o play_v the_o

amen_n chre._n but_o hear_v i_o a_o little_a i_o think_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v touch_v you_o with_o a_o tickle_a humour_n of_o a_o effeminate_a nature_n you_o will_v defend_v it_o to_o be_v good_a and_o money_n necessary_a to_o be_v use_v in_o such_o a_o service_n and_o be_v not_o that_o a_o pretty_a piece_n of_o learning_n pam_n howsoever_o sir_n you_o think_v of_o it_o i_o can_v show_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o for_o love_n be_v a_o humour_n of_o the_o mind_n infuse_v into_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o wisdom_n the_o art_n of_o reason_n and_o the_o service_n of_o money_n work_v honourable_a effect_n in_o nature_n for_o when_o the_o eye_n behold_v beauty_n nature_n be_v please_v in_o the_o object_n when_o reason_n find_v wit_n wisdom_n be_v delight_v in_o the_o subject_a and_o when_o wisdom_n find_v grace_n reason_n be_v joyful_a in_o understanding_n and_o then_o all_o these_o meeting_n together_o in_o conceit_n must_v needs_o work_v together_o for_o contentment_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o which_o money_n must_v be_v a_o servant_n of_o necessity_n as_o thus_o if_o your_o neighbour_n have_v two_o son_n the_o one_o be_v wise_a learned_a valiant_a and_o honest_a yet_o do_v want_v money_n to_o advance_v his_o virtue_n &_o the_o other_o have_v much_o money_n and_o no_o other_o good_a matter_n to_o move_v the_o least_o humour_n of_o good_a like_n my_o sister_n to_o who_o my_o grandmother_n have_v leave_v a_o good_a portion_n shall_v effect_v this_o young_a brother_n without_o money_n and_o leave_v the_o other_o to_o his_o all_o money_n be_v it_o not_o fit_a and_o necessary_a that_o her_o money_n shall_v rather_o be_v a_o advauncement_n of_o his_o virtue_n and_o a_o content_a of_o her_o

and_o perhaps_o a_o grief_n to_o you_o in_o the_o prime_n of_o her_o own_o comfort_n so_o if_o it_o shall_v fall_v out_o with_o i_o to_o affect_v the_o hope_n of_o my_o fortune_n will_v you_o spare_v your_o purse_n to_o procure_v my_o preferment_n believe_v it_o father_n the_o best_a love_n be_v beget_v by_o the_o eye_n breed_v in_o the_o brain_n
