 beg your bread : for they will make 

 you do little better, if you follow 

 their prescriptions. 



Discourse with them of countries, 

 they will set you on tire with trau- 

 elling: yea what place is it they 

 will not sweare they haue beene in. 

 and I warrant you tell such a sound 

 tale, as if it were all Gospell they 

 spake. Not a corner in Fraunce

 faine businesse about the Court, or 

 tbat such a Noble man sent for him, 

 when 3'ou will rather consent to

 he will say, In faith I cannot tell, I 

 would sooner spend my life in your 

 companie, then in anie mans in Eng- 

 land. But at this time I am not so 

 prouided of monie as I would : 

 therefore I can make no promise : 

 and if a man should aduenture vpon 

 such a iourney without money, it 

 were miserable and base, and no 

 man will care for vs. Tut monie 

 say you (like a liberall young mais- 

 ter) take no care for that, for I 

 haue so much land and I will sell it, 

 my credit is worth so much, and I 

 will vse it. I haue the keeping of 

 a Cosens chamber of mine, which is 

 an old counsellour, and he this va- 

 cation time is gone downe into the

 studie, rifle his chestes, diue int » 

 the bottome of his bagges, but xac 

 will haue to seru© our turne, rather 

 then faile we will sell his bookes,

 ^ou begge your bread, for they will 

 make you doo little better if you 

 folio we their prescriptions.
