i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v needle_n for_o i_o to_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n thereof_o because_o i_o think_v you_o see_v the_o matter_n in_o such_o experience_n as_o it_o need_v no_o dispute_n

all_o this_o while_o you_o fly_v above_o my_o pitch_n i_o pray_v you_o speak_v plain_o do_v you_o think_v the_o thrift_n of_o noble_a man_n and_o gentleman_n haunt_v the_o court_n or_o inhabitinge_v the_o city_n be_v comparable_a to_o the_o good_a husbandry_n and_o profit_n of_o the_o country_n valentine_n yea_o sure_o do_v i_o and_o therefore_o conclude_v not_o in_o haste_n vincent_n how_o can_v

country_n be_v either_o all_o or_o the_o great_a number_n very_o wealthy_a or_o rich_a enough_o valentine_n all_o this_o may_v be_v true_a and_o yet_o neither_o the_o court_n or_o town_n be_v cause_n of_o their_o poverty_n nor_o the_o country_n dwell_v the_o occasion_n of_o your_o riches_n vincent_n well_o sir_n since_o experience_n will_v not_o persuade_v you_o i_o will_v set_v down_o some_o reason_n to_o draw_v you_o to_o my_o opinion_n and_o first_o call_v you_o to_o memory_n the_o continual_a &_o excessive_a charge_n which_o the_o courtier_n or_o city_n dweller_n be_v at_o i_o mean_v in_o feed_v himself_o servant_n and_o family_n likewise_o how_o costly_a and_o almost_o princely_a he_o apparrel_v himself_o his_o wife_n his_o child_n and_o servant_n and_o all_o this_o charge_n go_v from_o the_o purse_n for_o provision_n have_v he_o none_o neither_o do_v he_o sow_v any_o grain_n rear_v any_o cattle_n nor_o his_o wife_n and_o woman_n servant_n spin_v any_o cloth_n &_o though_o they_o so_o do_v none_o i_o suppose_v of_o you_o will_v wear_v it_o such_o be_v your_o pride_n on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o the_o corn_n we_o make_v our_o bread_n of_o grow_v on_o our_o demean_n ground_n the_o flesh_n we_o eat_v be_v all_o or_o the_o most_o part_n of_o our_o own_o breed_n our_o garment_n also_o or_o much_o thereof_o make_v within_o our_o house_n our_o own_o malt_n and_o water_n make_v our_o drink_n so_o as_o in_o conclusion_n i_o say_v that_o since_o the_o necessity_n of_o man_n life_n consist_v upon_o these_o i_o mean_v meat_n drink_n and_o cloth_n all_o which_o cost_v we_o nothing_o or_o very_o little_a and_o you_o very_o much_o how_o can_v you_o in_o reason_n conceive_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v no_o rich_a than_o you_o that_o haunt_v court_n and_o inhabit_v city_n valentine_n what_o you_o allege_v or_o the_o most_o thereof_o i_o think_v be_v true_a but_o your_o conclusion_n false_a for_o albeit_o your_o provision_n be_v great_a yet_o your_o expense_n be_v great_a your_o thrift_n be_v like_a to_o we_o who_o have_v small_a provision_n and_o like_o charge_n vincent_n how_o can_v your_o charge_n be_v little_a when_o the_o cost_n of_o keepinge_v one_o man_n in_o court_n or_o town_n will_v be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o keep_v three_o in_o the_o country_n valentine_n and_o that_o i_o judge_n be_v also_o true_a but_o if_o my_o one_o man_n in_o the_o town_n will_v serve_v i_o as_o well_o as_o your_o three_o man_n in_o the_o country_n serve_v you_o though_o that_o one_o spend_v i_o as_o much_o as_o your_o three_o i_o care_v not_o for_o my_o thrift_n be_v no_o whit_n the_o less_o nor_o you_o the_o more_fw-it if_o of_o force_n as_o in_o deed_n you_o must_v keep_v so_o many_o for_o where_o there_o be_v as_o you_o allege_v great_a tillage_n rearinge_v up_o of_o cattle_n spinninge_v and_o cardinge_v with_o daily_a resort_n beside_o of_o stranger_n as_o be_v common_o to_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v also_o many_o servant_n which_o concourse_n of_o people_n and_o business_n breed_v occasion_n of_o continual_a expense_n of_o victual_n so_o as_o in_o effect_v you_o keep_v many_o that_o do_v bring_v you_o home_o profit_n and_o they_o with_o other_o do_v straight_o way_n eat_v it_o up_o what_o be_v you_o then_o the_o better_a but_o by_o thus_o much_o the_o worse_o than_o we_o that_o you_o be_v cumber_v with_o the_o unlooked_a for_o resort_v of_o friend_n and_o foe_n and_o the_o daily_a feed_n of_o many_o servant_n vincent_n i_o think_v your_o speech_n have_v good_a sense_n yet_o because_o it_o be_v long_o i_o do_v not_o perfect_o conceive_v it_o as_o i_o desire_v i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o your_o reason_n brief_o valentine_n then_o must_v you_o imagine_v that_o you_o have_v ten_o load_n
