004.B40.001  Well; I maye now receyue, and die; my sinn
004.B40.002  indeed is great, but I haue byn in
004.B40.003  a purgatorie such as feared %1Hell%2 is
004.B40.004  a recreation, and scant mapp of this.
004.B40.005  my mynd neither w%5th%6 prides itch, nor yett hath byn

004.B40.007  I had noe suite there, nor newe suite to shew,
004.B40.008  yett went to Court; but as %1Glare%2 w%5ch%6 did goe
004.B40.009  to A masse in iest, catch'd, was fayne to disbursse
004.B40.010  the hundred Markes, w%5ch%6 is the statuts cursse
004.B40.011  before he scap'd, Soe it pleasde my Desteny
004.B40.012  >(<guiltie of my sinn of going>,%>)< to thinke me
004.B40.013  as prone to all ill, and of good as forgett=
004.B40.014  full, as proude, [%1erasure%2] lustfull, and as much in dett
004.B40.015  as vayne, and wittlesse, and as false as they
004.B40.016  w%5ch%6 dwell at Court, for once going that way,
004.B40.017  therfore I suffred this. towards me did run
004.B40.018  a thing, more strange, then one %1Nilus%2 slyme the sun

004.B40.026  when next the pre%Mteces agaynst strangers rise;
004.B40.027  one, whome he watch at noone letts scarce goe by;
004.B40.028  one to whome, the exam%Mying Iustice sure would cry
004.B40.029  S%5r%6, by your pristhood tell me what you are;
004.B40.030  his clothes were strange, though course; & black, though bare,
004.B40.031  Sleeuelesse his Ierkyn was, and it had been

004.B40.113  Speakes of all States, and deeds, that hath byn since
004.B40.114  the %1Spaniards%2 came to the losse of %1Amyens%2,
004.B40.115  Like >%Vto< a bigg wife at sight of loathe'd %1Meate%2

004.B40.118  either my humour, or his owne to fitt;
004.B40.119  he like a privelidged spie, whom nothing can

004.B40.121  he names a price for euery office paid;
004.B40.122  he saith our warrs thrive ill, because Delayd;
004.B40.123  that offices are intayld, and that there are
004.B40.124  perpetuities of them, lasting as farr
004.B40.125  as the last daye; and that Great officers

004.B40.129  I more amaz'd then %1Circes%2 prisoners, when

004.B40.133  to sucke me in, for hearing him; I found
004.B40.134  that as brunt[sic] venom'd %1Lechers%2 do grow sound
004.B40.135  by giving others their sores, I might grow
004.B40.136  guiltie, and he free, therfore I did show
004.B40.137  all signes of Lothing, but since I am in,
004.B40.138  I must paye myne, and my >%Vfore<fathers sinn
004.B40.139  to the last farthing; therfor to my powre,
004.B40.140  %1Toughly%2, and %1stubburnly%2 I beare this crosse; but the'hour
004.B40.141  of %1Mercy%2 now was come; he tries %Yme%Z to bring

004.B40.143  and sayes, S%5r%6, can you spare me? I said willingly:
004.B40.144  nay S%5r%6 can yo%5u%6 spare me a crowne? thanckfullie I [CW:om]
004.B40.145  gaue it as Ransome, but as fidlers still [f.61v]
004.B40.146  though they be paid to be gonn, yett needs will
004.B40.147  thrust one Iigg more vppon you, so did he
004.B40.148  w%5th%6 his long Complementall thankes vexe me;
004.B40.149  but he is gonn thankes to his needy want,
