forefather_n leave_v they_o in_o but_o gentleman_n of_o great_a estate_n desire_v great_a title_n office_n and_o authority_n which_o can_v be_v have_v in_o the_o country_n but_o from_o the_o court_n which_o ambition_n persuade_v they_o to_o leave_v the_o country_n to_o live_v near_o the_o court_n where_o they_o may_v be_v see_v and_o know_v unto_o the_o grand_a monarch_n in_o which_o court_n be_v such_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n as_o the_o country_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o have_v as_o mask_n play_n ball_n bravery_n and_o courtship_n which_o ravish_v and_o transport_v their_o thought_n beyond_o the_o country_n region_n indeed_o they_o be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v transport_v into_o the_o three_o heaven_n until_o such_o time_n as_o their_o money_n be_v spend_v their_o land_n sell_v and_o their_o creditor_n be_v numberless_a and_o then_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o as_o evil_a angel_n into_o the_o hell_n of_o poverty_n and_o become_v poor_a devilish_a shark_n live_v upon_o their_o wit_n which_o be_v to_o live_v upon_o their_o cheat_n which_o can_v last_v long._n thus_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n be_v proud_a in_o the_o court_n vain_a in_o the_o city_n base_a and_o at_o last_o unfortunate_a as_o be_v much_o indebred_a and_o miserable_o poor_a v._o noble_a gentleman_n the_o gentleman_n that_o speak_v last_o declare_v our_o ambition_n at_o court_n but_o not_o our_o luxury_n in_o the_o country_n and_o though_o we_o have_v not_o court_v lady_n and_o city_n dame_n to_o our_o mistress_n yet_o we_o have_v country_n wife_n and_o tenant_n daughter_n for_o our_o wench_n and_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v ourselves_o into_o surfeit_v disease_n and_o our_o expense_n be_v far_o more_o in_o riotous_a hospitality_n than_o the_o courtier_n in_o their_o foolish_a flatter_a vanity_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o gentleman_n and_o noble_a man_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n prodigal_a whether_o they_o be_v in_o court_n city_n or_o country_n and_o they_o will_v never_o rest_v until_o such_o time_n as_o their_o money_n be_v spend_v and_o their_o land_n sell_v and_o then_o they_o become_v idle_a drone_n for_o want_n of_o sting_n which_o be_v wealth_n to_o employ_v they_o vi_o noble_a gentleman_n we_o have_v argue_v much_o of_o our_o humour_n action_n and_o estate_n of_o our_o folly_n vanity_n and_o vice_n but_o we_o have_v not_o conclude_v what_o be_v best_a for_o we_o to_o settle_v in_o as_o for_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n there_o be_v but_o three_o way_n as_o to_o be_v either_o mere_a clown_n or_o perfect_a gentleman_n or_o between_o both_o to_o be_v mere_a clown_n be_v to_o be_v drudge_n in_o our_o estate_n to_o be_v perfect_a gentleman_n be_v to_o be_v careless_a of_o our_o expense_n and_o to_o be_v between_o both_o be_v to_o be_v careful_a overseer_n and_o moderate_a spender_n and_o of_o these_o three_o i_o judge_v the_o last_o best_a as_o not_o to_o be_v so_o much_o a_o gentleman_n as_o to_o be_v a_o beggar_n nor_o so_o much_o a_o

our_o design_n be_v not_o to_o return_v to_o our_o dwelling_n house_n with_o heavy_a heart_n but_o light_a head_n wherefore_o leave_v of_o argue_v and_o settle_v to_o drink_v and_o let_v our_o
