annoy_n than_o i_o willing_o will_v learn_v then_o to_o bear_v the_o less_o grief_n since_o thou_o see_v the_o grete_a with_o a_o valiant_a mind_n bear_v of_o i_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o his_o grief_n although_o it_o be_v great_a be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v compare_v to_o i_o he_o answer_v i_o the_o contrary_a and_o thus_o we_o abide_v in_o a_o long_a contention_n and_o in_o the_o end_n part_v without_o any_o definition_n wherefore_o i_o pray_v you_o that_o you_o will_v say_v your_o judgement_n hereof_o question_n young_a gentleman_n say_v the_o queen_n great_a be_v that_o pain_n of_o you_o and_o great_a wrong_n do_v the_o damsel_n commit_v in_o not_o love_v you_o but_o yet_o at_o all_o time_n your_o grief_n may_v by_o hope_n be_v ease_v the_o which_o happen_v not_o to_o your_o companion_n because_o that_o since_o he_o be_v once_o enter_v in_o suspect_n nothing_o be_v able_a to_o draw_v it_o away_o therefore_o continual_o while_o love_n last_v he_o sorrow_v without_o comfort_n so_o that_o in_o our_o judgement_n great_a seem_v the_o grief_n of_o the_o jealous_a than_o that_o of_o the_o unloved_a lover_n clonico_n then_o say_v clonico_n oh_o noble_a queen_n since_o you_o say_v so_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o you_o have_v always_o be_v love_v again_o of_o he_o who_o you_o have_v love_v by_o occasion_n whereof_o you_o hardly_o know_v what_o my_o pain_n be_v how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o jealousy_n bring_v great_a grief_n than_o be_v that_o i_o feel_v forsomuch_o as_o the_o jealous_a possess_v that_o he_o desire_v and_o may_v in_o hold_v the_o same_o take_v more_o delight_n thereof_o in_o one_o hour_n than_o in_o a_o long_a time_n after_o to_o feel_v any_o pain_n through_o want_n thereof_o and_o nevertheless_o he_o may_v through_o experience_n abandon_v such_o jealousy_n if_o it_o happen_v that_o this_o judgement_n be_v find_v false_a but_o i_o be_v kindle_v with_o a_o fiery_a desire_n how_o much_o the_o more_o i_o see_v myself_o far_o off_o from_o the_o attain_n the_o same_o so_o much_o the_o more_o i_o burn_v and_o consume_v myself_o assault_v of_o a_o thousand_o instigation_n neither_o be_v any_o experience_n able_a to_o help_v i_o therein_o because_o through_o the_o often_o reprove_v she_o and_o find_v she_o every_o hour_n more_o sharp_a i_o live_v desperate_a wherefore_o your_o answer_n seem_v contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n because_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o hold_v with_o suspicion_n than_o to_o desire_v with_o tear_n that_o amorous_a flame_n that_o do_v shine_v in_o our_o eye_n and_o that_o every_o hour_n do_v adorn_v our_o sight_n with_o the_o great_a beauty_n reply_v do_v never_o consent_v reply_v the_o queen_n that_o we_o love_v in_o vain_a as_o you_o affirm_v but_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unknown_a to_o we_o how_o great_a and_o what_o manner_n of_o pain_n that_o be_v both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o as_o our_o answer_n have_v be_v confirmable_a to_o the_o truth_n one_o thing_n we_o will_v show_v to_o you_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o those_o thing_n which_o most_o do_v hinder_v the_o quiet_a of_o the_o mind_n be_v care_n the_o which_o be_v some_o of_o they_o come_v to_o a_o merry_a end_n so_o some_o we_o see_v to_o end_v with_o great_a sorrow_n whereof_o how_o much_o more_o the_o mind_n be_v replete_a so_o much_o the_o more_o have_v it_o of_o grief_n and_o chiefly_a when_o as_o the_o same_o be_v noisome_a and_o that_o the_o jealous_a have_v more_o store_n thereof_o than_o have_v you_o be_v manifest_a because_o you_o heed_n nothing_o else_o but_o only_o to_o get_v the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o dansel_n who_o you_o love_v the_o which_o not_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v be_v to_o you_o a_o grief_n most_o grievous_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o may_v easy_o come_v to_o pass_v to_o attain_v the_o same_o at_o one_o instant_a not_o think_v thereof_o forsomuch_o as_o woman_n heart_n be_v inconstant_a besides_o peradventure_o she_o love_v you_o not_o withstand_v to_o prove_v if_o you_o also_o love_v she_o she_o show_v the_o contrary_a and_o so_o perhaps_o will_v show_v until_o such_o time_n as_o she_o shall_v be_v well_o assure_v of_o your_o love_n so_o that_o with_o these_o thought_n hope_n can_v mitigate_v unfeigned_a grief_n but_o the_o jealous_a have_v his_o mind_n full_o fraught_v of_o infinite_a ear_n against_o the_o which_o neither_o hope_n nor_o other_o delight_n can_v bring_v comfort_n or_o ease_v the_o pain_n jealousy_n for_o he_o stand_v intentive_a to_o give_v a_o law_n to_o the_o wander_a eye_n the_o which_o his_o possessor_n can_v not_o give_v he_o will_v and_o do_v endeavour_n himself_o to_o give_v a_o law_n to_o the_o foot_n to_o the_o hand_n and_o to_o every_o other_o act_n of_o his_o mistress_n he_o will_v be_v a_o circumspect_a knower_n both_o of_o her_o thought_n &_o of_o her_o mirth_n interpret_n every_o thing_n in_o evil_a part_n towards_o himself_o belèeve_v that_o each_o one_o desire_v and_o love_v she_o who_o he_o love_v likewise_o he_o imagine_v every_o word_n that_o she_o speak_v to_o be_v twain_o and_o full_a of_o deceit_n and_o if_o he_o ever_o commit_v any_o detraction_n towards_o she_o it_o be_v death_n to_o he_o to_o remember_v it_o imagine_v to_o be_v by_o the_o like_a mean_n deceive_v he_o will_v with_o conjecture_n shut_v up_o the_o way_n of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o brief_o the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n bird_n beast_n and_o every_o other_o creature_n that_o he_o think_v do_v hinder_v his_o device_n and_o to_o remove_v he_o from_o this_o hope_n have_v no_o place_n because_o in_o this_o do_n if_o he_o find_v the_o woman_n faithful_a he_o think_v that_o she_o espy_v that_o which_o he_o do_v and_o be_v therefore_o heedful_a therein_o if_o he_o find_v that_o he_o seek_v for_o and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o find_v who_o be_v more_o dolorous_a than_o he_o if_o peradventure_o you_o think_v that_o the_o embrace_v she_o in_o his_o arm_n be_v so_o great_a a_o delight_n unto_o he_o as_o shall_v mitigate_v these_o pang_n your_o judgement_n be_v then_o false_a because_o such_o manner_n of_o col_v bring_v he_o in_o choler_n in_o think_v that_o other_o as_o well_o as_o he_o have_v embrace_v she_o in_o the_o like_a sort_n and_o if_o the_o woman_n peradventure_o do_v love_o entertain_v he_o he_o deem_v that_o she_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n to_o remove_v he_o from_o such_o his_o imagination_n &_o not_o for_o the_o true_a love_n she_o bear_v he_o if_o he_o find_v she_o malicious_o dispose_v he_o thynk_v that_o she_o than_o love_v a_o other_o and_o be_v not_o content_a with_o he_o and_o thus_o we_o can_v show_v you_o a_o infinite_a number_a of_o other_o suspicion_n &_o care_n that_o be_v harbour_v in_o a_o jealous_a person_n what_o shall_v we_o then_o say_v of_o his_o life_n but_o that_o it_o be_v far_o more_o grievous_a than_o that_o of_o any_o other_o live_a creature_n life_n he_o live_v beléeve_v and_o not_o beléeve_v and_o still_o allure_a the_o woman_n and_o most_o time_n it_o happen_v that_o these_o jealous_a person_n do_v end_v their_o life_n through_o the_o self_n same_o malice_n whereof_o they_o live_v fearful_a &_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o that_o with_o their_o reprehension_n they_o show_v the_o way_n to_o their_o own_o harm_n question_n consider_v then_o the_o aforesaid_a reason_n more_o cause_n have_v your_o friend_n that_o be_v jealous_a to_o sorrow_n than_o have_v you_o because_o you_o may_v hope_v to_o get_v and_o he_o live_v in_o fear_n to_o lose_v that_o which_o he_o scarce_o hold_v for_o his_o own_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v more_o cause_n of_o grief_n than_o you_o &_o yet_o comfort_v himself_o the_o best_a he_o can_v much_o more_o ought_v you_o to_o comfort_v yourself_o and_o to_o set_v aside_a bewail_n that_o be_v meet_a for_o faint_a heart_n and_o hope_v that_o the_o
