on horse-backe in Gods name Who beginneth well hath halfe the worke Nor one beginneth not well but from heauen A mortall enterprise cannot haue a fortunate issue If the heauens doth not prosper it B. Doe you please to haue any thing else sir F. No but get you vp likewise marrie first tell me one thing did you aske which way we should goe and turne B. I haue set downe in order the names of the Villages and Townes the miles and distance from one place to another F. See how pleasant it is in this hot season to ride in the coole of the morning B. So me thinkes likewise but God and heauen helpe vs in so many turnings and by-wayes F. I beleeue the heauens can make easie the way B. Here is a crosse from the which commeth so many wayes that now at the last euery one resteth in such manner dazeled that one knoweth not surely which way to goe F. Not the crosse but men with their varying make others to stray but let it be as it will be for by some one we must goe wherefore doe you feare Doest thou not know with how many forces God helpeth me B. But yet by that which in truth seemeth to me most secure large and beaten I see no body goe there truly but onely in appearance F. Be not astonished at it that Direction wanteth not to a Pilgrim that hath a tongue B. But if hee were one of those that in the manner of Merchants did seeke not onely to liue but to inrich himselfe with his merchandise and with his tedious and superfluous discourse perswadeth that such a path is the most secure when he knowes it worse then my selfe and yet playing the Reynald he will himselfe faine to goe by it setting me in the steepe way which cannot be plainely discerned but at certaine times when he with raynes in the necke keepes alwaies the lower I looking about me and perceiuing that in truth he auoides all that which with naked words hee perswaded me vnto and therefore beleeue me I beleeue him not F. And yet sure it is as necessarie there should be one good way for vs if thou wilt not say that alone there is one saluation for the desperate is to dispaire of saluation Are you a Pilot ah looke vp to heauen and be of good cheere away forward follow on without interest or any peruersenesse that which by the true footings seemes to thee to be the truest way B. But my heart throbs least any body should see vs. F. Doubt not For vertue neuer failes a valiant man and He that hath swarued from the right way must thither returne againe Who hath no Plate or else the same hath lost Must quench his thirst out of a drinking glasse B. Why then hereafter I must be more bold F. Yes bolde and yet with circumspection B. But what would you say sir while we stand thus in the Sunne to his owne good hap and our bad fortune some famished Wolfe should come vpon vs. F. We would doe contrarie to the Poets aduise Doe not remaine in any darksome night Vnder the poore skie by light of waterish Moone But we must looke out further for a bad night a worser day succeedes yet be not daunted seeing euery one from his birth-day hath his Fortunes set downe B. So me thinks I haue obserued and yet they said that euery one is the framer of his owne hap F. It often happens that one wise and valiant Is the Author of some happy fortune to himselfe but So haue you not seene that when I will I haue astonishment In my eies and death in my hand besides in truth nothing can terrifie me for I haue often made triall of The diuers assaults and cruell feare of death The great vncertainties of chance and of instable lot and yet if I were to die I would in dying seeme vnvanquished but whereat laugh you doe you thinke it would be a worke rather of furie then of hope B. Let vs confesse the truth we not hauing supped we shall be readie for a dainty supper for him and this I take to be the worldly prouidence so much exalted to beautifie as it were one with the extreame misery of many but to auoide this danger let vs hasten our pace F. Amidst all daunger valour is secure In vertue lyeth all my happinesse Valour from vertue vertue from faith proceedes and therefore you feare because you wauer in faith and that you beginne not where you should and ought And trust not in that Lord who good men helpes And doth preuent your prayers with his grace But why stay you alight for we will ease our beasts while some desperate fellow comes that may shew vs the way whether good or bad B. Oh what faire sightly and pleasant fields are here In beholding their beautie my heart euen growes young againe F. There shines in vs a fauour new deuine Did you euer feele such a sweet aire O goodly countries and delightsome streames O pleasant hils Flowers chearefull happy and sweet springing grasse Most louely and pale violets Vmbragious vines whereon the Sunne doe beate Who vvith his beames you proud and pleasant makes B. Surely if there be any Paradise in the world this is one F. Zipherus returnes and brings with him faire weather With flowers and hearbes his pleasant familie Progne does prattle and Philomell laments It 's now the faire virmilion pleasant spring When meadowes laugh and heauen serenefies Ioue smiles to see his louely daughter faire The aire earth water is with loue possest Tree-barkes grow tender and so each greene plant More ioyfully his verdure reassumes The Doues their kisses doe redouble oft All creatures are by loue now reconcilde Me thinkes the hard Oake and the Laurell chaste With all the leafie ample familie And earth and water doe both forme and breath sweet sighes and sents of an inflamed loue B. Oh what a goodly country what faire grounds are here F. Heere 's pleasant aire faire skie with pleasant Meadowes trees and waters pure and cleare Where midst the myrtles beautifull A fount doth rise a little brooke ore runnes Which raine into her bosome hearbs and still sweet sounds With murmuring noise of leaues that shake and stir The birds do sing the marbles and the gold I doe conceale For Art and workemanship most wonderfull The Elme Trees to whom sometime the Vine doe leane And with his crooked feete climes toward heauen B. The aire odour shaddow and refreshings all to you doe seeme to bend and to incline F. To tell thee my thoughts to an haire my deare Bulugante I ruminate and midst my tossed thoughts I am assailde with pittie of my selfe and In so diuers thoughts I know not which to choose For sad I passe the day and sad and sorrowfull The night while morning peepes againe Neither in
the naturall heate being defused and scattered in the body and by the businesses of the day and heate so much the more weakened and the stomacke wearied and without appetite to eate but onely to drinke then it behoueth one lightly to suppe the same institution ought euery one to follow that is subiect to the Rheume and indisposition of the braine from the replection sending vp euaporations from the head whereby it resteth offended A. But dayes being longer in Summer and greater intermission betweene dinner and supper how can so much as you said before with reason follow P. Consider not the number of houres but the action of the vertue to effect and the said vertue in hot dayes becommeth weake but by the morning sleepe strengthened then is it more strong therefore as I told you before the supper in the hot season ought to be sober and further profitable in all times for a plentifull supper causeth in the stomacke great paine therefore to the end the night may be pleasant let vs be temperate in supping according to this Verse Caena leuis vel caena breuis fit rarò molesta Magna nocet medicina docet res est manifesta A. But why now doe you eate so softly P. Sir this is a kinde of the first concoction and as it were the halfe digestion when the euill and defectiue chewing of the meate hindreth and slackneth digestion and therefore wee must not like Geese or these charger-bearers deuoure hastily but rather taking in little mouthfuls chew them very wel A. Me thinkes indeed this should not onely be healthfull but also very ciuill although it is rather the proper hypocrisie and qualitie of women who after they are well filled in a corner eate minsingly in publicke but what like you not those pottage of oate-meale nor the other of barley why then take that of wheate P. Wheate nourisheth well and also strengthens the meale thereof sodden with milke or in water with butter doth mitigate the hoarsenesse of the throate extenuateth coughes helps the spitting of bloud vlcer of the breast and being sodden in water of honey it easeth all inward inflamations A. Then taste thereof P. But it is an heauie meate and hard of digestion it generates grosse and slimie humours ventosities and stones in the reines and bladder and multiplyeth belly-wormes in the belly the which vicious qualities may be corrected by boyling it well and then seasoning it with good spices A. Is that of barley peraduenture better P. When it is smooth white dry ponderous and not too great it hath in it good vertue abstersiue and mundificatiue but so it nourisheth not so much as wheate doth it opens the opilations of the bladder barley water is moist and abstersiue and very good for the thirst of such as are in Agues it easeth the infirmities of the breast and therefore it is an excellent remedie for Hitticke Febricidantes though shee Asses milke be farre better it mollifies the breast looseth spettle mitigates the coughe and mundifies the lights if it be mingled not in the broth but in the decoction of a chicken but specially when wee would abstergifie and that the huske remaine behind in the boyling of it but though it refrigerates and dissecates without the huske yet be it as it will I finde it no wayes friendly to my selfe A. This of oate-meale certainely is very excellent P. Branne is no other then wheate which they put a steeping into water which after it is broken in the morter they dry it in the Sunne and afterwards grinde it grossely so that of one graine they make foure or fiue parts and keepe it drie and being well sodden it rectifies many vices contained in the stomacke A. But what if it were not sodden but as I haue seene many foolish women doe who will carrie it about them in a bagge and so eate it betweene meales P. Why it will engender grosse and vitious humous with ventosities and can hardly be digested by a weake stomacke but being often vsed it obstructeth the Liuer and generates grauell but if it be well sodden in a good broth it is excellent meate for the sound and also for the sicke and for those in health it will be the better if it be seasoned with vinegar leekes honey or sugar for thus it will loose his viscositie A. Why doe you eate such abundance of bread and where will you put your flesh P. You put me in minde that it is called bread or pane because it feedes or according to the Greeke vvord because it is conformable with all meates neyther is it euer instupide or fruitlesse especially this made of the flower of the meale seasoned with a little salt and reasonably well baked for thus it strongly nourisheth and especiallie the crust which is excellent good and healthfull for the body A. At least mixe it with butter P. So I meane it being hot and moist and it is best when it is newest but if it were sheepes milke butter it would be the more healthfull and therefore the more deare but so if sugar or honey were mingled with it it would be excellent to ripen the grosse Catarre to draw forth superfluities from the breast and lights and moreouer it would cure the cough and obstruction of the Lungs if it be eaten with honey and bitter Almonds it mitigates griefes and nourisheth exceedingly yet it weakens and looseth his stomake that vseth it much induceth vomit and procures an inclination to the itch and leprosie but so eating it with sugar and old Rose-water it is corrected by this meanes and so it helpes both yong and olde at all seasons if it be seasoned with a little salt to preserue it or that it may reserue his vertue appertaine and mundificatiue P. As I marke you obserue rule also for the quantitie P. My meate is twice the quantite of my drinke my bread sixe-fold more then my egge three-fold more then my flesh and foure-fold more with fish hearbes and fruites A. Shall we eate some flesh now P. This flesh with other grosse meates they are lest hurtfull in Winter naturall heate being at that instant vnited to the interiour parts therefore more efficatious but the contrary fals out in Summer which therefore requires but light meats as I said before A. What would you haue me then doe make a prognosticator and you shall vse me as a friend P. First eate those things easie of digestion and those are such as are easiest to be chewed for if you eate them last hauing laid your foundation with grosse things of digestion they swimme aboue and corrupt as if it should be milke or tender sodden flesh as veale but if they be things vnctuous they mollifie and moisten the belly but they increase flegme excite sleepe and are corrupted A. Must I then preferre easie meates before those difficult the moist before the drie the liquide before the solide and the soluble before the restringent P. Yea if the stomacke be
with nuts almonds peares and honny it is lesse hurtfull A. Will you take three or foure stalkes of Anise P. They mend the stinch of the breath they are good for hydropickes and opilations of the Lyuer they prouoke vrine stay the white fluxes of women the decoction thereof dissolues the ventosities of the body helpes the stomacke Lyuer and Lights as also the Matrixe it hinders the vapours that ascend vp into the braine being taken before you drinke water it rectifies it it helpes all baked meates it stimulates Venus and hurts sanguine and chollericke men A. See here Teazels or Hartichoakes P. The tender ones are better then the hard but yet they are windie procure opilations and encrease lust A. Your Teazels made white by Art please me much better burying them in the Autumne with thinne earth they are eaten in the end of supper with pepper and salt to seale vp and corroborate the stomacke but I thinke that Coriander or Coriandolet hath a greater vertue P. That of Egypt is the best it is very good for the stomacke repressing the venemous exhalation that ascend vp into the head being drunke with sweet wine it kils wormes keepes the flesh vncorrupt Coriander comfits at the end of meate detained in the stomack aide digestion and fortifie the head and braine A. Then I will take a glutting of them P. Their superfluous vse offends the head obfuscates vnderstanding and disburdens the minde the iuyce thereof being drunke is mortall poyson and they which drinke thereof become dumbe or fooles A. But it being otherwise of such vertue how may the vice of it be remoued P. You must keepe it for one night in vineger then couer it with Sugar for so they are good but if any drinke of the iuyce thereof he may be cured with the powder of egge-shels with Salemonia or Treacle and wine A. I like Fennell very well and how doth it please you sir P. I haue euer delighted much in the sweet Fennell which is hot in the second degree and dry in the first but the wilde doth dry and heate more effectually but that which is new gathered and sweet breedes milke in women and menstrues and in all generally vrine it remoues ancient opilations it greatly helps the eyes A. What if it should be dry P. It is good for the Winter but let it be taken soberly for it enflames the Lyuer and hurts the eyes but yet it opens the opilations of the lyuer mylt breast and braine but both one and other hurt sanguine cholericals and it produceth blacke choler so as it is fitter for medicine to the sicke then meate to the sound In this point I commend your English Gentlemen who are not much delighted with such fruits A. In troth the very odour of that Cytron comforts my smell and the colour of it my sight if it were not hurtfull I would faine eate a little of it P. The skinne therof eaten causeth digestion the seed remedies all poysons prouokes menstrues kils wormes in the belly being beaten and giuen with the iuyce of it fasting being eaten whole it preuailes against the plague and the corruption of the ayre as also against poison the water of Cytrons distilled is pleasant to the taste and beneficiall to the heart and braine and being giuen with the conserues of Cydron it is admirable against pestilentiall feauers it extinguisheth thirst and the feauer and it resists putrifaction the water of the flowers therof distilled is very preualent against the plague and such like accidents it is a friend to the heart and effectually prouokes sweating the skinnes thereof seasoned preuailes against the aboue-named things and the oyle that is extracted out of the skinne and seede is very cordiall by annointing the pulses therewith as also it is good for the circumferentiall region of the heart but yet Cytrons being eaten in the euening they cause dizinesse and are troublesome to hot heads but the preserue of Violets being eaten after them corrects their hurtfull qualitie A. Reach me those Mulburies P. They mollifie the harshnesse of the throate remoue thirst moysten the body excite appetite slake choler they are better eaten before meate then after they sodainely corrupt the which they likewise doe when they encounter with other humours but to the end they may not breede ventosities let them be washed in wine and let hot young men eare also the sowrer sort of them with sugar in Sommer and such shall haue in them no bad humours A. Will you please sir to haue any of these Arbutes or Strawburies or Sea-cherries or Africans or Italian Corbezzuole P. Out alas the very thinking of them obstructs bindes and stitches mee corroborating my body but too much notwithstanding the water of them distilled from the leaues or flowers with the powder of the bone in an Harts heart or of the horne of the same beast thinly grated helpes in time of the plague especially before the disease be confirmed and the decoction or powder of their leaues preuaileth against the selfe same disease and their fruites stay fluxes A. Enough enough enough at this time I will no more to tell you a very secret I finde in my selfe daily a great desire to these figges or fat figlins P. They nourish more then any other fruit they quench thirst discharge the breast fatten aide sperme and being very ripe are most secure A. Seeing in our Countrey by reason of the abundant humiditie and defect of heate we cannot haue greene ones wee will eate dride ones P. They help the cough and with Nuts leaues of Rue and salt they are good against the plague besides they are good for all complexions but many of them offend the stomacke they excite collickes cause thirst hurt the Lyuer and the Milt and cause the itch with lice and opilations to come when they are too much vsed and I find in my selfe that they produce great abundance of yealow choler A. But what will you taste of no Apples P. Of what taste are they A. Some are sharpe and tart others are pleasant P. These are hot in the first degree and temperately moist but the others are cold and dry so as the great sweet and wel-coloured are the best the greene apples amongst all others hold the first place the red ones the second and the russet the third they comfort the heart much extend the breast they open the Catarre cause one to spit and being roasted in ashes they comfort a weake stomacke and therefore they are good for them that are in recoueries when they be eaten with Aniseede comfits or sugar and synnamon the syrupe of them is cordiall and most of all against melancholike passions but raw ones being eaten in any quantitie hurt the nerues and a weake stomacke and they must ripen vpon the tree or otherwise they are of very bad nourishment your sowre doe make one loose memorie and generate much flegme and ventositie they are preserued in Wheat straw but so as they
digested they are corrected with the seed of Ameos but yet they are enemies to cold and moist complexions and to old men A. Will you not then taste of them P. Oh it does me good euen to touch them A. Why see then how strawburies are ready to supply their place P. They are cold in the first and dry in the second degree if they be red very ripe of good odor and growing in Gardens they slake the heate and sharpnesse of the bloud they quench the feruour of choler refresh the Lyuer remoue thirst prouoke vrine and excite appetite but that which is the excellentest secret their wine dryes vp the red pimples of the face and being applyed to the eyes cleares the sight washing therewith the filmes of them it scoures the skinne of the countenance and takes away meazels Their fruits stay dissenteries womens fluxes and help the milt the decoction of their leaues and rootes being drunke doth greately ease the inflamation of the Lyuer and mundifies the â—eynes and the bladder The distilled water of Strawburies stayes the fluxe of bloud in all parts but yet they hurt those subiect to tremblings to paralitickes and to the griefe of the nerues their wine will make one drunke and they that eate them in any abundance fall into malignant Feauers because they corrupt in the stomack and also generate corrupt humours But being first well cleansed and washed in white wine and then strowed ouer with sugar in Summer they are good for cholericke men Sanguineans and hot stomackes so they be eaten in small quantitie before other meates A. But you shall not denie me or at least doe such iniury to the Melon as not to taste of it P. If it were of good odour and exquisite sauour very pleasing to the taste new and ripe I would willingly eate of it but me thinkes it hath no sent at all where grew it in England out alas it stinckes I pray you keepe it for some Mare for I will none of it by any meanes the sight of it onely makes me ready to cast A. And yet they say Albinus the Emperour was so delighted with them that one euening he did eate an hundred peaches of Campania and Melons of Ostia the which in those dayes were the most commendable P. If they were of the sweetnesse they are of in many places and in a manner ouer all Italie I could with all my heart follow his example or rather mine owne taste for besides that they refresh they doe cleanse the body prouoke vrine quench thirst excite appetite and they that eate them in any abundance are secured from the stone and grauell but yet they procure ventositie and paine in the belly they easily conuert into those humours that they meete withall in the stomacke and by reason of their frigiditie they hardly digest whereupon they excite vomite cholericall fluxes and easily corrupting they generate malignant Feauers and meazels They may be corrected by being eaten fasting with good old cheese and salted things drinking very good wine after them and then afterwards eating other meates of good substance but they greatly hurt melancholick and flegmaticke men A. So if I be not deceiued you will none of them P. No not of these artificiall ones and besides I did eate so many of them in my youth throughout all the parts of Italie as I now giue them a perpetuall valete A. That which is here before you sir be it what it will remaineth at your seruice no wayes to molest except it may please and content you and therefore doe as you thinke good but doe you marke sir what a sweet ayre this is P. The aire is more necessarie then any thing else for the preseruation of bodily health A. You speake but truth because the life of all creatures hauing neede of continuall refreshment of hart which is obtained by a daily inspiration of the aire and all other things may be auoyded but this cannot for as respiration cannot be seperated from life no more can life be seperated from respiration P. Who knowes not that oftentimes and for some good space we may liue without meates but so can we not any time at all without ayre for it alwayes enters in by the chaps and from the lights flyes to the hart to refresh it A. It being then of so great importance vvee will inioy this serenitie in turning towards the East not corrupted by the fogs nor vapours of lakes stands marrishes caues durt nor dust for by reason of the dustie aire amongst the people Garamantes they hardly liue to fortie yeeres of age P. Neither neede wee to doubt of the cold aire either North or South or that of the night nor of that which proceeds from the vapours of nut trees or vnder the beames of the Moone neither of that turbulent grosse blustring or corrupted aire rising from putrefaction or anything else A. If it were so it would questionles be very hurtfull for it would make heauy the heart offend the animall spirits with too much humiditie loosing the ioynts and making them ready to take in all superfluities P. Let vs therefore while we may enioy this temperatâ— aire and so I take it to be when it refresheth at the Sunne going downe and heates at Sunne rising and such aire as this is I suppose to be very beneficiall for euery complexion sexe and age A. Questionlesse I reioyce much to enioy this pure cleare and temperate aire it procuring health clarifying the spirits and the blood chearing vp the heart and the minde corroborating all actions causing digestion in all the members preseruing temperature and prolonging life the contrary to all which aboue-named qualities bad ayre effects for it changeth our bodies more then any thing else and corrupts them P. But I pray you tell me onely to passe the time how would you correct such an aire in subtilizing and dissoluing the grosse and slimie humours thereof A. Why with a fire in the roome of sweete wood as of Laurell Rosemarie Cypresse wood Iuniper Oake Pine Furre Larix tree or else I would make a Pomander wherof I would smell both day and night taking halfe a dramme of saffron halfe a scruple of orient Amber of Muske one dramme of Steraxe Calamite and of Laurell and Anna one scruple dissoluing them in Malmesie and as I said before I would make of them a Pomander P. I thinke a man may better preserue himselfe from bad aire with a good breath as keeping Treacle Mithridrate or the confection of Alchermes in his mouth or rubbing his teeth with Zâ—loaria chewing Angelica or by taking it fasting in conserues A. And I haue tryed that in time of the plague it is excellent to 〈◊〉 in ones hand or to swell on a ball of very good Saxiâ—age that grew in a hot countrie and the ball being hollow within may haue a piece of sponge steeped in good rose-rose-water and excellent rose-vinegar defending the stomacke and the breast with a Lambe or an Hares
skin or with pieces of Scarlet those parts being as it were the mother of all infirmities which being euill guarded and corrupted all the rest is lost and spoild But how in truth would you discerne the qualitie of the aire P. Why I would put out a piece of very dry sponge in the serenitie of the night and if in the morning following I finde it dry the ayre also no doubt is dry and if it be soft the ayre is likewise moist or else I would set a new loafe in the open and fresh ayre the which if the ayre be troubled will be corrupt and mouldy A. Good Lord how sleepe comes vpon me P. I pray you sir in any wise take heede of it the meridian or day sleepe being very hurtfull except one be inured therevnto by a custome or that in the night before you haue not slept or else the members being wearied or when the stomacke is weake for in all these cases one may sleepe not with his head downeward nor laid along but sitting vpon a seate with his head vpright A. What shal we then doe after meate P. Why let vs take something stiticall without drinking therevpon and those be Peares Medlers Quinces or a little cheese for thus the stomacke will be sealed vp whereupon naturall heate growes more preualent and hindreth the ascension of vapours A. Let vs eate halfe a score Coriander comfits and a piece of Marmalate P. This surely I like well of for if they be taken before they restraine the fluxe if after meats they seale vp the stomack aide digestion fortifie the debilitie of the stomacke so as with confidence I may say as did the Poet Si vis me mitem si vis dirimere litem Da diacidonitem da mihi frater item A. Now let vs walke softly and afterwards if you please we will sit downe P. Post cibum aut stabis aut gradu lentè meabis A. Hoe there I am afraid least my seruants after their bellies are full are gone to rest a little M. What command you sir A. What haue you made an end M. A prettie while since sir A. But why could we see none of you here what did you my gentle maisters all M. We were sitting here in the hall A. And who was with you tell the truth M. My Ladies chamber-maide A. Ah ah the Physitian neyther rides nor goes without his Mule nor the begger without his mate But what did yee M. We talked together of many things A. The Vniuersities of Padua and Paris were ioynde to make this Colledge He grins what thinke you sir of these companions deserue they the sodden water which they drinke P. To stand vpon our feete is hurtfull to the chine bone it is a very wise part after dinner to sit awhile surely they deserue nothing but commendation in taking as much good as they can A. It is good he daunceth well enough to whom another mans folly pipes P. Remember sir that he which hath compassion deserues compassion A. I would they had but as much discretion as I haue patience but there is no remedy our men through a pact amongst themselues and women by their wit or their fauourable Venus starre doe and euer will doe what they list P. God permits often Nature and alwayes humane and worldly policie that some should be seruants and other some Lords neither can any such ordinary Law preuaile but with extraordinarie persons not wisedome but meanes called chance fortune and lot and those put together so as if they suffer with them we must suffer also A. Why who doth otherwise we all in comparison being subiect to sinne to the Law to our owne passions and that which is worse to our owne vices P. We are all vnperfect neyther can we iustly denie that pittie vnto others which we desire our selues A. If you please sir we will goe walke P. Very willingly but I beseech you thinke not much to stay a very little I will presently returne to you againe A. At your pleasure sir DIALOGVE III. Betweene Falsorino and Bulugante a Seruant Wherein Phrases of Buying and Selling are vsed they further discourse of such matters as concerne trauaile lodging at an Inne and paying the Host with many other true wittie and necessarie â—ayings and aduertisements Falsorino WEll sir haue you dispatcht what I willed you to doe or after your old fashion haue you forgot something or other B. For the auoyding of all such errour I set downe euery thing in particular as you Sir commanded me euen so I did it all F. All is well if you did both write downe and so performed all B. So I haue done Sir but with your fauour Sir we haue not yet bought some small toyes whereof you told me you had neede F. I marry this grieues me much and makes mee altogether discontented but there no remedie but Patience let vs goe to the Citie B. The shops are here very rich and well furnished F. Honest youth where 's your Maister Hee is gone out sir but I am here ready to serue your Worship in any thing F. You fore-men and Prentises after an ocean of lying and sugred wordes in demanding still aboue your prices that so you may intimate your owne greater sufficiencie to your Maisters you goe beyond your commission neither will you euer but especially if your chap man be a stranger descend to any reasonable tearmes But when your Maisters see with whom they haue to deale they presently conclude with the iust and lowest price F. With your fauour my good friend I would willingly buy three paire of gloues one of Lambes leather the other of Kid and a paire of Cordiuant but for Gods sake let vs haue no ceremonies not any biddings off and on what wee shall giue at last let vs agree vnto in the beginning and so begin to flea at the taile as the prouerbe is Let me therefore see of the best These are such which now I haue found out F. Oh God how ill sowed they are the leather hath many frets without and diuâ—rs spots within haue you no better I pray you hold me not with delayes to no purpose See here of the fairest and of the best scent that can be seene F. The leather likes me not they are ill cut they haue an ill fauoured shape and almost no scent but what shall I giue you for these Seauen shillings F. You demand after the manner of Holland three times more then the common prise I le giue you foure shillings I cannot so afford them F. Shall I not haue them say you here is my money if you be not content we will part friends as before we were Well sir that you may come hither another time I am content to lose in them F.
