39 This lesson is learned by riding about, 
the prices of vittels, the yeere thorough out. 
Both what to be selling and what to refraine, 
and what to be buieng, to bring in againe. 
40 Though buieng and selling doth woonderfull well, 
to such as haue skill how to buie and to sell: 
Yet chopping and changing I cannot commend, 
with theefe? and his marrow, for feare of ill end.

of buier and seller full far is he sought. 
Yet herein consisteth a part of my text,

Ts and, 
at second, that hath not so much in the towne, 
At third hand he buieth that buieth of trust, 
at his hand who buieth shall paie for his lust.

Touch kept is commended, yet credit to keepe, 
is paie and dispatch him, er euer ye sleepe.
