you_o for_o we_o have_v be_v hunt_v with_o a_o wild_a bear_n and_o can_v not_o escape_v he_o till_o even_o now_o then_o quoth_v the_o innkeeper_n in_o mockage_n to_o they_o what_o a_o shame_n gentleman_n be_v it_o for_o you_o three_o to_o be_v hunt_v with_o one_o bear_n now_o i_o tell_v you_o what_o if_o there_o come_v ten_o bear_n to_o i_o be_v but_o one_o in_o the_o field_n i_o will_v have_v slaike_fw-mi they_o every_o one_o and_o thus_o mock_v he_o the_o merchant_n all_o supper_n while_n scoggin_n sit_v by_o the_o fire_n side_n and_o hear_v all_o this_o after_o supper_n conclude_v with_o the_o merchant_n to_o overreach_v the_o hest_n in_o his_o own_o scoff_n whereupon_o scoggin_n go_v into_o the_o town_n and_o bring_v a_o bear_n skin_n that_o be_v but_o new_o dead_a and_o privy_o bring_v it_o into_o his_o chamber_n and_o when_o the_o innkeeper_n and_o all_o his_o household_n be_v go_v to_o bed_n he_o stuff_v the_o bear_n skin_n with_o straw_n and_o dress_v he_o with_o

the_o middle_n of_o the_o night_n and_o then_o scoggin_n bid_v the_o merchant_n call_v very_o earnest_o for_o drink_v the_o which_o they_o do_v whereupon_o the_o host_n call_v up_o his_o maid_n to_o

she_o run_v down_o into_o the_o cale-house_n and_o hide_v herself_o think_v that_o he_o have_v eat_v up_o both_o her_o master_n child_n then_o call_v the_o merchant_n again_o for_o drink_n whereat_o the_o host_n command_v he_o man_n to_o arise_v who_o likewise_o go_v into_o the_o hall_n and_o see_v the_o bear_n for_o fear_n let_v fall_v his_o candle_n and_o run_v into_o the_o seller_n think_v

that_o no_o body_n come_v or_o else_o to_o give_v they_o a_o candle_n and_o they_o will_v draw_v it_o themselves_o with_o that_o the_o good_a man_n arise_v himself_o for_o he_o think_v that_o both_o his_o man_n &_o his_o maid_n be_v fall_v asleep_a again_o and_o then_o light_v he_o a_o candle_n and_o go_v likewise_o down_o into_o the_o hall_n where_o he_o spy_v the_o bear_n and_o be_v so_o fright_v therewith_o that_o he_o fall_v unto_o the_o ground_n and_o cry_v out_o main_o to_o the_o merchant_n for_o help_n say_v that_o the_o bear_n have_v eat_v both_o his_o man_n and_o his_o maid_n who_o hear_v their_o master_n call_v for_o help_v come_v up_o sudden_o to_o help_v so_o do_v the_o merchant_n who_o exceed_o laugh_v at_o this_o hardy_a man_n that_o will_v have_v slay_v ten_o bear_n and_o yet_o be_v make_v afraid_a of_o one_o dead_a bear_n skin_n when_o the_o innkeeper_n see_v that_o it_o be_v do_v in_o mockery_n he_o be_v so_o ashamed_a that_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o say_v and_o so_o go_v to_o bed_n and_o then_o in_o the_o morning_n arise_v the_o merchant_n and_o pay_v their_o charge_n and_o so_o ride_v their_o way_n and_o after_o this_o never_o will_v the_o innkeeper_n boast_v of_o his_o manhood_n any_o more_o how_o scoggin_n answer_v to_o all_o manner_n of_o question_n that_o be_v ask_v he_o after_o this_o scoggin_n come_v unto_o the_o city_n of_o cane_n in_o

will_v give_v a_o right_a answer_n to_o every_o question_n that_o be_v put_v unto_o he_o whereupon_o come_v many_o learned_a man_n unto_o he_o whereof_o there_o be_v one_o that_o ask_v he_o how_o many_o gallon_n of_o water_n be_v in_o the_o sea_n then_o answer_v scoggin_n stop_v all_o the_o river_n that_o do_v run_v into_o it_o and_o then_o i_o will_v measure_v it_o and_o tell_v you_o just_o how_o many_o gallon_n there_o he_o then_o think_v the_o other_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o do_v and_o so_o be_v content_a with_o that_o answer_n then_o ask_v he_o scoggin_n another_o question_n which_o be_v this_o how_o many_o day_n be_v past_a since_o adam_n creation_n till_o this_o time_n marry_o qd_n scoggin_n there_o be_v but_o seven_o day_n past_a for_o when_o the_o week_n

be_v the_o middle_n of_o the_o world_n then_o answer_v scoggin_n to_o he_o that_o be_v here_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o this_o house_n for_o if_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v i_o take_v a_o cord_n and_o measure_n it_o whereat_o the_o proposer_n grow_v angry_a and_o ask_v he_o how_o far_o be_v the_o earth_n from_o heaven_n why_o quoth_v scoggin_n that_o be_v hereby_o let_v i_o sing_v never_o

and_o then_o if_o you_o hear_v it_o not_o i_o will_v loose_v my_o credit_n then_o quoth_v the_o other_o how_o wide_o be_v heaven_n and_o how_o broad_a be_v it_o why_o quoth_v scoggin_n it_o be_v twelve_o thousand_o mile_n broad_a and_o ten_o thousand_o mile_n wide_a and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v i_o then_o must_v you_o go_v take_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o all_o the_o star_n and_o we_o measure_v they_o and_o if_o you_o find_v it_o not_o as_o i_o say_v i_o will_v give_v the_o mastery_n to_o you_o with_o that_o the_o learned_a man_n know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v to_o

scoggin_n be_v esteem_v in_o all_o place_n for_o a_o most_o wise_a and_o sensible_a man_n and_o the_o better_a belove_a of_o the_o people_n because_o he_o love_v to_o sport_n and_o jest_n and_o will_v
