snout_n chap._n xxiii_o of_o the_o great_a disagreement_n and_o discontentment_n that_o oftentimes_o do_v happen_v between_o the_o master_n and_o the_o servant_n our_o discourse_n i_o perceive_v now_o braw_v near_o to_o a_o end_n and_o we_o have_v nothing_o leave_v to_o speak_v of_o but_o the_o disagreement_n that_o daily_o happen_v between_o master_n and_o servant_n of_o the_o which_o i_o will_v delate_v as_o follow_v he_o that_o will_v be_v a_o master_n &_o commander_n of_o family_n must_v as_o well_o know_v how_o to_o serve_v and_o obey_v as_o to_o control_n and_o command_v for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o matter_n to_o know_v how_o to_o command_v as_o to_o be_v a_o master_n and_o although_o there_o be_v few_o that_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o right_a course_n of_o a_o master_n and_o can_v do_v that_o which_o belong_v unto_o they_o to_o do_v yet_o almost_o in_o every_o house_n master_n be_v so_o undiscreete_a proud_a fantastical_a and_o insolent_a that_o they_o use_v their_o servant_n not_o otherwise_o then_o if_o they_o be_v slave_n speake_v imperious_o to_o they_o be_v not_o content_a unless_o they_o see_v they_o tremble_v in_o their_o presence_n use_v no_o speech_n unto_o they_o but_o full_a of_o terrify_v threaten_a and_o revile_v by_o such_o manner_n of_o deal_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o servant_n though_o good_a and_o sufficient_a begin_v to_o grow_v naught_o and_o to_o wax_v cool_a in_o goodwill_n and_o necligent_a in_o duty_n totowarde_n their_o master_n but_o those_o master_n be_v more_o undiscreete_a which_o brawl_n and_o chide_v with_o their_o servant_n before_o stranger_n whereby_o in_o mind_n they_o make_v the_o stranger_n think_v they_o be_v scarce_o welcome_o to_o their_o house_n and_o beside_o thereby_o spite_n their_o servant_n the_o most_o of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n for_o proof_n whereof_o when_o a_o servant_n seek_v a_o passter_n he_o never_o inquire_v whether_o he_o be_v of_o a_o evil_a life_n but_o whether_o he_o be_v hard_a to_o please_v or_o no_o but_o in_o my_o mind_n yet_o those_o be_v worse_o which_o speak_v to_o their_o servant_n with_o their_o hand_n who_o belike_o have_v be_v beat_v by_o their_o master_n who_o they_o serve_v before_o time_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v revenge_v it_o upon_o their_o servant_n then_o be_v other_o master_n be_v of_o this_o fond_a humour_n that_o they_o will_v have_v their_o servant_n understande_v their_o mind_n in_o make_v only_o a_o sign_n as_o if_o themselves_o be_v dumb_a and_o their_o servant_n diviner_n some_o will_v have_v their_o servant_n do_v three_o or_o four_o thing_n at_o once_o ot_fw-mi have_v the_o judgement_n to_o consider_v that_o as_o a_o sexton_n say_v a_o man_n can_v not_o carry_v the_o cross_n and_o ring_v the_o bell_n together_o some_o be_v so_o curious_a that_o if_o they_o have_v a_o thousand_o servant_n they_o will_v trouble_v they_o all_o and_o never_o be_v content_a for_o that_o none_o of_o they_o all_o can_v please_v they_o who_o fashion_n it_o be_v every_o month_n to_o change_v a_o servant_n we_o have_v in_o london_n here_o a_o gentleman_n who_o i_o well_o know_v who_o about_o six_o month_n since_o bestow_v upon_o a_o servant_n of_o he_o a_o livery_n cloak_n which_o since_o that_o time_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o four_o other_o and_o take_v it_o still_o from_o they_o again_o in_o this_o humour_n be_v many_o master_n now_o adays_o but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o philosophical_a discourse_n again_o the_o master_n that_o often_o change_v his_o servant_n receive_v great_a dishonour_n thereby_o and_o withal_o show_v himself_o a_o impatient_a man_n and_o hard_o to_o please_v and_o beside_o spread_v his_o secret_n and_o do_n the_o far_o abroad_o for_o when_o a_o servant_n depart_v from_o his_o master_n in_o what_o sort_n soever_o it_o be_v whether_o content_v or_o discontent_v he_o can_v refrain_v from_o report_v where_o so_o ever_o he_o go_v the_o life_n and_o behaviour_n of_o his_o former_a master_n and_o though_o with_o one_o troth_n he_o mingle_v a_o hundred_o lie_n yet_o there_o be_v enough_o that_o will_v believe_v he_o and_o beside_o the_o master_n be_v trouble_v to_o tune_v his_o new_a servant_n to_o his_o fancy_n chap._n xxiiii_o ¶_o of_o the_o impatience_n of_o some_o master_n towards_o their_o servant_n over_o other_o some_o be_v among_o other_o ill_a master_n may_v be_v comprehend_v leine_v so_o impatient_a and_o so_o unreasonable_a that_o they_o will_v insoven_v their_o servant_n to_o impossibility_n and_o to_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v but_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o be_v those_o who_o will_v burden_n their_o servant_n wrongful_o with_o naughty_a deal_n and_o thereupon_o turn_v they_o away_o but_o i_o sâ—â—_n it_o will_v be_v toâ—_n long_o to_o rehearse_v all_o the_o imperfection_n which_o be_v in_o such_o master_n therefore_o i_o will_v pass_v to_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o diâ—â—aâ—râ—ment_n between_o the_o mastre_n and_o the_o servant_n which_o come_v by_o those_o servant_n that_o know_v not_o bow_v to_o serve_v and_o obey_v i_o mean_v by_o the_o unfit_a to_o serve_v noâ—_n only_o soole_v not_o

be_v gluttone_n bark_v for_o that_o the_o master_n can_v do_v nothing_o but_o they_o will_v present_o report_v it_o abroad_o fit_v which_o be_v so_o natural_a unto_o they_o that_o let_v their_o

as_o there_o be_v good_a master_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v good_a servant_n but_o now_o to_o take_v away_o all_o disorder_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o good_a master_n and_o the_o good_a
