005.OQ1.005  frees from the stinge of iestes all who in extreame
005.OQ1.006  are wretched or wicked, of the twoe a theame:
005.OQ1.007  Charity and libertie geue[sic] me, what is he
005.OQ1.008  who officers rage and suitors miserie
005.OQ1.009  can write and iest. If all thinges be in all

005.OQ1.012  each thing, each thing implies or representes:
005.OQ1.013  Then; man is a world, In w%5ch%6 officers

005.OQ1.020  howe much worse are suitors? who to mens lust
005.OQ1.021  are made praies: o%C worse then dust or worms=meat,
005.OQ1.022  for they doe eat yo%5u%6 nowe, whose selues wormes shall eat

005.OQ1.062  shold paie fees as heere, dailie bread wold be
005.OQ1.063  scarce to kynges; So it is: wold it not anger
005.OQ1.064  A Stoick a Coward yea a Martyr
005.OQ1.065  To see a Pursevant come in, and call
005.OQ1.066  all his clothes Copes, bookes, prymmers, and all
005.OQ1.067  his plate challices and take them awaie,
005.OQ1.068  and aske a fee for comynge; O%C nere maie

005.OQ1.073  %Ywhoe%Z#rich, whoe poore, whoe in [sic]chaires, who in Iailes. [f.207]
005.OQ1.074  She is all faire, but yet hath fowle longe nailes
005.OQ1.075  w%5th%6 which she scratcheth suitors. In bodies
005.OQ1.076  of men, so in lawe; nailes are the extremityes,
005.OQ1.077  for oficers stretch to more then lawe can doe,
005.OQ1.078  as our nailes reach what no els part can come to:
005.OQ1.079  Why bar'st thou to yon officer foole? hath he
005.OQ1.080  gott those goodes, for w%5ch%6 earst men bard to thee
005.OQ1.081  ffoole twice thrice; thou hast bought wronge & nowe hungerlie

005.OQ1.083  Thou hadst much, and lawes %1Vrim & Thimym%2 try
005.OQ1.084  thou woldst for more, and for all, hast pap%P
005.OQ1.085  ynoughe to cloth all the Carreckes pepper:
005.OQ1.086  Sell that, and by that thowe shalt more leese
