valentine_n then_o must_v you_o imagine_v that_o you_o have_v ten_o load_n of_o hay_n in_o your_o stable_a and_o ten_o horse_n which_o of_o force_n you_o must_v keep_v in_o my_o stable_a i_o have_v but_o one_o load_n and_o one_o horse_n now_o will_v i_o ask_v you_o whither_o your_o proportion_n be_v large_a for_o your_o cattle_n or_o i_o for_o i_o vincent_n they_o seem_v all_o one_o save_v that_o he_o that_o have_v the_o great_a provision_n have_v also_o the_o great_a trouble_n valentine_n then_o i_o be_o glad_a you_o understand_v for_o such_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o country_n and_o town_n dweller_n the_o one_o have_v much_o provision_n and_o many_o to_o spend_v it_o the_o other_o have_v little_a and_o few_o to_o consume_v it_o so_o as_o i_o guess_v all_o come_v to_o one_o reckon_v save_v that_o the_o great_a haver_n have_v the_o less_o quiet_a vincent_n but_o yet_o by_o your_o leave_n master_n valentine_n you_o gay_a besee_v courtier_n albeit_o you_o want_v provision_n and_o have_v little_a yet_o will_v you_o also_o spend_v much_o and_o how_o then_o valentine_n marry_o than_o i_o say_v so_o many_o of_o we_o as_o indeed_o such_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o most_o be_v plain_a banckeroute_n and_o beggar_n as_o you_o call_v we_o but_o in_o who_o be_v the_o fault_n not_o in_o the_o court_n nor_o yet_o in_o the_o town_n but_o in_o our_o own_o self_n and_o our_o own_o folly_n but_o such_o as_o live_v in_o court_n or_o in_o town_n orderly_a &_o spend_v within_o their_o proportion_n may_v be_v equal_a with_o you_o in_o thrift_n and_o in_o quietness_n far_o before_o you_o vincent_n yet_o have_v you_o not_o full_o answer_v i_o for_o sith_o beside_o my_o yearly_a rent_n i_o have_v three_o or_o four_o hundred_o acre_n of_o demean_n land_n whereupon_o my_o provision_n grow_v i_o account_v my_o house_n cost_v i_o nothing_o when_o you_o that_o have_v none_o but_o live_v on_o the_o penny_n must_v needs_o spend_v without_o measure_n valentine_n why_o sir_n if_o you_o lust_n let_v out_o your_o demean_n be_v it_o worth_n no_o rend_v vincent_n yes_o that_o it_o be_v for_o there_o be_v no_o acre_n of_o it_o but_o will_v yield_v i_o yearly_a a_o crown_n valentine_n then_o may_v you_o account_v your_o provision_n cost_v you_o yearly_o four_o hundred_o crown_n vincent_n by_o my_o say_n you_o say_v troth_n for_o if_o i_o do_v not_o eat_v it_o i_o perceive_v i_o shall_v have_v it_o but_o then_o how_o shall_v my_o house_n be_v keep_v and_o my_o neighbour_n love_v i_o valentine_n a_o great_a deal_n better_o now_o for_o you_o &_o other_o gentleman_n dispose_v yourselves_o as_o full_o ill_a it_o become_v you_o to_o be_v ploughman_n you_o have_v learn_v what_o every_o soil_n be_v worth_a and_o so_o after_o that_o rate_n set_v out_o your_o land_n whereby_o the_o poor_a husbandman_n or_o farmer_n pay_v so_o dear_a for_o your_o come_n and_o neighbourhood_n as_o he_o have_v rather_o you_o live_v further_o off_o like_o a_o gentleman_n though_o for_o very_a flattery_n or_o fear_n when_o he_o dive_v at_o your_o board_n he_o say_v he_o be_v sorry_a your_o worship_n shall_v dwell_v away_o when_o god_n wot_v the_o poor_a man_n mean_v nothing_o less_o for_o i_o have_v learn_v that_o those_o tennaunte_n have_v best_a penny_n worth_n of_o their_o farm_n who_o landlord_n do_v least_o know_v the_o land_n or_o dwell_v further_a from_o it_o wherefore_o you_o deceive_v yourself_o to_o think_v that_o your_o continual_a dwell_n in_o the_o country_n do_v ease_v the_o poor_a ploughman_n so_o long_o as_o you_o play_v the_o ploughman_n yourself_o or_o let_v your_o land_n at_o great_a rend_v for_o shall_v you_o not_o find_v a_o number_n of_o poor_a husbandman_n that_o almost_o starve_v for_o want_v of_o land_n to_o manure_v whereof_o i_o judge_v nothing_o a_o great_a cause_n than_o that_o gentleman_n be_v become_v ploughman_n and_o be_v not_o content_a to_o let_v the_o poor_a hire_n it_o and_o live_v of_o the_o rend_v as_o their_o call_n be_v which_o covetous_a and_o clownish_a honour_n they_o cloak_n under_o pretence_n of_o hospitality_n vincent_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o occupy_v my_o land_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v what_o it_o be_v worth_a for_o this_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n call_v home_n into_o my_o hand_n certain_a copy_n hold_v let_v out_o by_o my_o ancestor_n that_o every_o acre_n be_v twice_o so_o much_o worth_n as_o the_o rend_v i_o receive_v for_o it_o valentine_n loe_o now_o in_o earnest_a you_o speak_v like_o a_o worshipful_a ploughman_n not_o like_o a_o worthy_a gentleman_n for_o this_o experience_n whereof_o you_o speak_v be_v better_a unknown_a then_o use_v therefore_o some_o doctor_n do_v think_v it_o better_o not_o to_o know_v all_o thing_n then_o to_o know_v they_o meaning_n as_o i_o judge_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v to_o deep_a a_o searcher_n in_o a_o other_o profession_n or_o mystery_n lest_o lead_v on_o with_o private_a profit_n he_o hinder_v the_o common_a commodity_n vincent_n by_o this_o reason_n wherein_o i_o confess_v be_v good_a sense_n the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o country_n that_o occupy_v much_o land_n with_o his_o own_o plough_n and_o feed_v many_o other_o let_v also_o his_o land_n well_o and_o round_o be_v aswell_o spare_v as_o present_v among_o his_o tennaunte_n notwithstanding_o he_o keep_v good_a hospitality_n valentine_n yea_o certain_o for_o they_o give_v the_o poor_a man_n their_o tenant_n a_o meal_n meat_n twice_o a_o week_n worth_a a_o groat_n and_o force_v he_o to_o pay_v a_o shilling_n more_o than_o he_o be_v wont_a before_o his_o lord_n become_v so_o skilful_a a_o husband_n yea_o by_o your_o leave_n also_o if_o your_o poor_a tenant_n present_v you_o with_o a_o couple_n of_o capon_n or_o a_o pig_n it_o be_v many_o time_n welcome_a all_o the_o meat_n he_o eat_v at_o you_o table_n be_v not_o so_o much_o worth_n vincent_n i_o partly_o conceive_v now_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n upon_o profit_n &_o find_v in_o deed_n that_o compare_v the_o number_n which_o we_o keep_v in_o the_o country_n with_o those_o that_o you_o do_v in_o the_o city_n the_o cost_n of_o householdinge_v come_v all_o to_o one_o account_n and_o to_o confess_v troth_n i_o suppose_v there_o be_v more_o certainty_n in_o the_o proportion_n of_o your_o charge_n then_o in_o we_o and_o as_o i_o grant_v before_o not_o half_o the_o trouble_n and_o sith_o i_o be_o lead_v thus_o far_o from_o my_o old_a foolish_a mind_n and_o common_a love_n to_o our_o country_n custom_n to_o inhabit_v there_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o of_o great_a and_o excessive_a privy_a charge_n which_o we_o be_v at_o in_o our_o house_n i_o mean_v in_o our_o household_n stuff_n and_o chief_o linen_n for_o if_o a_o gentleman_n have_v in_o his_o house_n twenty_o bead_n as_o many_o have_v and_o some_o a_o great_a number_n we_o have_v they_o full_a often_o occupy_v with_o stranger_n and_o their_o servant_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v so_o careless_a or_o slovenly_a as_o they_o will_v make_v quick_a speed_n to_o wear_v out_o not_o only_o our_o linen_n but_o also_o our_o hang_n curtain_n and_o canopy_n of_o silk_n so_o as_o within_o a_o little_a time_n we_o spoil_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a stuff_n and_o then_o force_v to_o buy_v new_a for_o as_o you_o see_v gentleman_n daily_o resort_v unto_o common_a inn_n so_o do_v they_o daily_a resort_n to_o gentleman_n house_n with_o man_n and_o horse_n hawk_n and_o dog_n till_o the_o poor_a master_n of_o the_o house_n have_v all_o his_o linen_n foul_a all_o his_o provision_n eat_v &_o his_o household_n stuff_n make_v unsavoury_a &_o oft_o time_n tear_v and_o spoil_v but_o all_o this_o notwithstanding_o i_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v true_a yet_o it_o grieve_v i_o to_o dwell_v from_o my_o own_o house_n where_o my_o neighbour_n love_v i_o &_o my_o tenant_n do_v fear_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o fain_o do_v as_o you_o advise_v i_o be_v not_o the_o fashion_n and_o the_o custom_n to_o the_o contrary_n valentine_n by_o so_o say_v you_o renew_v a_o old_a verse_n that_o be_v a_o school_n boy_n i_o oftentimes_o red_a video_fw-la meliora_fw-la
