in_o feast_n and_o at_o meal_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o move_v sad_a discourse_n but_o man_n ought_v to_o speak_v of_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o person_n and_o place_n and_o be_v well_o like_v of_o and_o therefore_o in_o merriment_n and_o at_o feast_n melancholic_a story_n be_v not_o to_o be_v tell_v as_o of_o sickness_n and_o death_n misfortune_n pestilence_n or_o the_o like_a nor_o to_o call_v to_o mind_n or_o mention_n any_o mournful_a matter_n but_o if_o any_o fall_n upon_o such_o discourse_n we_o ought_v in_o a_o merry_a and_o sweet_a manner_n to_o divert_v he_o from_o such_o talk_n and_o offer_v other_o subject_n to_o talk_v of_o more_o convenient_a and_o cheerful_a i_o have_v hear_v say_v of_o a_o old_a philosopher_n that_o he_o affirm_v that_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o man_n life_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o weep_v as_o well_o as_o to_o laugh_v and_o that_o for_o that_o reason_n he_o say_v that_o of_o old_a those_o sad_a fable_n which_o they_o call_v tragedy_n be_v invent_v by_o act_v of_o which_o upon_o the_o stage_n as_o be_v then_o usual_a to_o do_v they_o may_v make_v those_o shed_v tear_n who_o have_v need_v so_o to_o do_v and_o by_o such_o weep_a they_o may_v be_v cure_v of_o their_o infirmity_n but_o for_o that_o which_o concern_v we_o it_o become_v we_o not_o to_o make_v sad_a the_o mind_n of_o those_o we_o discourse_n with_o but_o shall_v rather_o labour_v to_o solace_v and_o delight_v they_o for_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o any_o shall_v be_v sick_a for_o lack_v of_o weep_v it_o will_v be_v a_o small_a matter_n to_o cure_v that_o disease_n either_o with_o a_o little_a strong_a mustard_n or_o by_o endure_v a_o little_a smoke_n and_o so_o must_v we_o as_o it_o be_v say_v at_o such_o time_n avoid_v melancholy_a discourse_n 8._o we_o ought_v also_o to_o interrupt_v he_o that_o talk_v impertinent_o and_o waste_v much_o time_n and_o talk_v only_o for_o their_o pleasure_n like_o some_o that_o even_o fatten_v with_o the_o love_n they_o bear_v their_o little_a child_n do_v talk_n of_o nothing_o but_o of_o they_o and_o their_o nurse_n in_o this_o manner_n this_o be_v so_o pretty_a a_o child_n and_o make_v i_o always_o so_o merry_a that_o you_o can_v imagine_v it_o my_o little_a girl_n be_v very_o delightful_a to_o i_o she_o speak_v already_o mum_a dad_n and_o many_o other_o such_o word_n and_o they_o suppose_v that_o as_o they_o themselves_o be_v please_v with_o this_o and_o do_v spend_v their_o time_n therein_o so_o must_v they_o that_o hear_v they_o take_v the_o like_a pastime_n although_o for_o certain_a no_o man_n can_v be_v so_o much_o take_v herewith_o that_o he_o can_v be_v delight_v to_o spend_v his_o time_n always_o in_o hear_v the_o same_o thing_n especial_o when_o the_o father_n do_v bring_v in_o such_o discourse_n by_o the_o head_n and_o shoulder_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v chapter_n 5._o of_o those_o that_o set_v themselves_o to_o tell_v their_o dream_n they_o do_v ill_a that_o make_v a_o settle_a discourse_n in_o the_o punctual_a relate_n of_o their_o dream_n in_o such_o earnest_n and_o so_o wonder_v at_o they_o that_o the_o tell_n of_o they_o become_v a_o torment_n to_o the_o hearer_n of_o they_o except_o he_o that_o tell_v they_o do_v find_v some_o wonder_n indeed_o in_o they_o or_o at_o least_o so_o much_o witty_a conceit_n in_o some_o of_o they_o that_o he_o know_v that_o the_o humour_n of_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o be_v prepare_v for_o such_o discourse_n they_o will_v find_v pastime_n in_o they_o and_o though_o some_o wise_a man_n of_o old_a do_v leave_v book_n behind_o they_o write_v of_o dream_n and_o those_o compose_v with_o great_a understanding_n and_o acuteness_n of_o wit_n yet_o we_o in_o our_o ordinary_a conversation_n ought_v not_o to_o discourse_v of_o they_o a_o dream_n of_o example_n 1._o and_o of_o all_o the_o dream_n i_o ever_o hear_v relate_v though_o i_o have_v hear_v but_o few_o and_o give_v credit_n to_o none_o that_o i_o think_v be_v the_o best_a which_o they_o report_v that_o one_o micer_n flaminio_n a_o gentleman_n of_o rome_n do_v dream_n which_o i_o think_v be_v

they_o there_o be_v a_o little_a vial_n glass_n full_a of_o a_o clear_a liquor_n which_o all_o smell_v unto_o but_o none_o of_o they_o do_v eat_v it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o long_o but_o he_o see_v a_o

of_o they_o break_v he_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o little_a viall-glasse_n i_o speak_v of_o and_o set_v it_o to_o his_o mouth_n he_o drink_v out_o all_o the_o liquor_n not_o leave_v one_o drop_n and_o then_o go_v out_o as_o the_o rest_n have_v do_v before_o he_o at_o which_o micer_n flaminio_n seem_v to_o wonder_n much_o and_o turn_v to_o the_o apothecary_n he_o ask_v he_o sir_n what_o

discretion_n to_o judge_v right_o of_o thing_n the_o which_o man_n do_v not_o seek_v to_o preserve_v in_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n 2._o such_o dream_n as_o this_o may_v well_o be_v tell_v and_o be_v excuse_v because_o they_o rather_o seem_v to_o be_v good_a thought_n of_o a_o man_n awake_v than_o a_o vision_n of_o a_o trouble_a fancy_n but_o for_o other_o dream_n void_a of_o sense_n or_o probability_n as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n even_o learned_a man_n themselves_o do_v dream_n as_o well_o as_o the_o unlearned_a we_o ought_v not_o to_o spend_v our_o time_n in_o tell_v of_o

and_o more_o idle_a and_o vain_a as_o namely_o lie_v or_o false_a tale_n for_o of_o that_o which_o a_o man_n have_v see_v in_o his_o dream_n may_v be_v say_v something_o because_o all_o a_o man_n life_n be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a dream_n or_o fancy_n but_o a_o man_n never_o dream_v a_o lie_n therefore_o we_o ought_v less_o to_o trouble_v the_o ear_n and_o understanding_n of_o those_o that_o hate_v lie_v with_o lie_z then_o with_o dream_n because_o although_o they_o be_v but_o jest_n yet_o this_o danger_n be_v in_o they_o that_o sometime_o they_o be_v take_v for_o truth_n yet_o among_o good_a condition_a people_n liar_n do_v receive_v this_o reward_n that_o become_v first_o reckon_v but_o as_o jester_n they_o be_v afterward_o people_n of_o no_o credit_n and_o their_o discourse_n be_v scarce_o excusable_a as_o be_v frothy_a word_n without_o substance_n and_o it_o be_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o then_o as_o if_o when_o such_o a_o one_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o say_v nothing_o or_o as_o if_o he_o do_v but_o draw_v and_o breath_n out_o the_o air_n and_o you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o may_v talk_v with_o some_o that_o love_n lie_v so_o well_o that_o they_o will_v lie_v though_o it_o be_v to_o no_o end_n nor_o profit_n to_o they_o but_o only_o because_o a_o lie_n of_o their_o own_o do_v much_o please_v they_o even_o as_o a_o drunkard_n that_o often_o drink_v not_o for_o thirst_n or_o need_v he_o have_v but_o only_o for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o drink_n and_o they_o be_v so_o besot_v in_o tell_v lie_n that_o though_o they_o tell_v impossibility_n they_o think_v they_o must_v be_v believe_v as_o i_o once_o hear_v tell_v of_o a_o liar_n that_o relate_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o one_o day_n be_v very_o thirsty_a and_o be_v a_o very_a good_a

know_v how_o to_o speak_v they_o well_o because_o we_o know_v his_o intention_n to_o be_v very_o far_o from_o wrong_v of_o any_o thereby_o and_o therefore_o without_o doubt_n those_o that_o can_v talk_v merry_o yet_o in_o a_o friendly_a manner_n and_o without_o prejudice_n be_v better_o like_v then_o those_o that_o know_v not_o how_o to_o do_v it_o and_o be_v receive_v with_o open_a arm_n

in_o effect_n as_o i_o have_v say_v this_o jeer_a be_v but_o to_o make_v sport_n with_o the_o defect_n and_o error_n of_o those_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n and_o respect_n of_o those_o that_o
