consist_v upon_o liberality_n for_o their_o wage_n be_v never_o in_o any_o age_n able_a to_o defray_v their_o necessary_a charge_n and_o expense_n but_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o

and_o again_o beside_o this_o good_a mind_n of_o the_o master_n to_o his_o own_o servant_n there_o be_v a_o other_o liberality_n as_o thus_o if_o the_o servant_n be_v send_v to_o his_o master_n

yet_o he_o will_v show_v his_o thankfulness_n towards_o his_o servant_n in_o liberal_o reward_v he_o for_o his_o pain_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o liberality_n be_v now_o very_o much_o decay_v there_o be_v also_o a_o liberality_n allot_v and_o belong_v to_o the_o servingman_n in_o this_o sort_n if_o one_o gentleman_n invite_v a_o other_o to_o his_o house_n or_o that_o of_o courtesy_n and_o

it_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o great_a disgrace_n that_o can_v happen_v unto_o he_o to_o omit_v thankfulness_n for_o kindness_n receive_v but_o covetousness_n do_v now_o so_o much_o corrupt_v as_o they_o either_o think_v it_o be_v idle_o spend_v or_o evyll_n bestow_v that_o be_v give_v in_o that_o manner_n without_o care_n of_o their_o credit_n or_o consideration_n why_o they_o shall_v give_v it_o or_o else_o their_o memory_n do_v fail_v they_o more_o than_o in_o former_a time_n it_o be_v wont_a for_o sure_a i_o be_o that_o they_o do_v either_o many_o time_n forget_v or_o else_o be_v stack_n

be_v comely_a cover_v with_o the_o handsome_a habit_n of_o their_o high_a title_n nobility_n or_o worship_n or_o else_o whatsoever_o but_o whether_o on_o they_o these_o title_n be_v right_o bestow_v or_o no_o that_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o censure_n and_o judgement_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o if_o that_o liberality_n be_v always_o the_o companion_n of_o true_a nobility_n as_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n for_o they_o be_v as_o near_o join_v together_o as_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n then_o as_o s._n james_n say_v the_o good_a tree_n will_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n so_o the_o true_a noble_a mind_n can_v be_v without_o his_o fruit_n even_o liberality_n itself_o will_v bud_v and_o plane_o appear_v in_o the_o branch_n of_o this_o body_n be_v liberality_n then_o a_o virtue_n and_o so_o near_o a_o kinsman_n to_o the_o true_a noble_a mind_n as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a scuttion_n crest_n and_o badge_n thereof_o so_o that_o if_o this_o coat_n and_o cognisance_n walk_v the_o

i_o fear_v i_o if_o i_o shall_v tread_v the_o strand_n i_o shall_v often_o for_o want_n of_o knowledge_n unduetiful_o justle_v some_o of_o they_o and_o scarce_o lend_v my_o cap_n to_o who_o a_o low_a

one_o man_n who_o apparel_n be_v much_o better_a than_o his_o master_n though_o he_o be_v a_o justice_n of_o peace_n be_v his_o country_n but_o i_o speak_v not_o this_o either_o to_o discommend_v the_o gentleman_n homely_a habit_n or_o commend_v to_o servingman_n in_o his_o excess_n but_o the_o misery_n of_o that_o mind_n that_o regard_v more_o coin_n than_o his_o credit_n but_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v one_o interrupt_v i_o say_v if_o your_o sense_n of_o see_v be_v not_o besot_v you_o may_v easy_o discern_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o potentate_n and_o the_o peasant_n the_o gentleman_n &_o the_o mean_a person_n and_o if_o your_o hart_n be_v not_o too_o haughty_a you_o may_v render_v a_o reverend_a regard_n &_o due_a courtesy_n to_o who_o in_o duty_n it_o do_v belong_v for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o note_n nor_o difference_n to_o know_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o a_o gentleman_n from_o his_o inferior_a the_o potentat_n costly_a apparel_n handsome_a habit_n &_o gorgeous_a garment_n do_v always_o easy_o bewray_v he_o also_o his_o man_n and_o attendant_n when_o he_o walk_v abroad_o do_v show_v what_o he_o be_v for_o man_n of_o mean_a estate_n do_v not_o use_v to_o go_v so_o guard_v or_o walk_v so_o worthy_o attend_v wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v before_o easy_a it_o be_v if_o you_o be_v thereunto_o willing_a to_o lend_v cap_n or_o knee_n or_o other_o duty_n to_o who_o it_o shall_v right_o belong_v or_o appertain_v to_o this_o objection_n i_o answer_v thus_o first_o for_o apparel_n sure_o i_o think_v he_o some_o far_o bear_v countryman_n that_o thus_o object_v where_o in_o his_o country_n a_o satin_n doublet_n nay_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o velvet_n girdle_n or_o waste_n be_v of_o as_o much_o power_n and_o force_n as_o boreas_n boisterous_a blast_n in_o a_o wyndie_a day_n or_o a_o long_a staff_n with_o a_o good_a arm_n the_o one_o blow_a a_o man_n cap_n from_o his_o head_n perforce_o and_o the_o other_o teach_v a_o man_n
