cõforthlesse, he helped ye poure, ye and now that he is deade, he is in a maner more profytable. He hathe buylded thys costly & gorgeouse churche, he hath caused greate authoryte thorough out all Englande vnto the ordre and presthode. At ye last, thys pece of the show dothe susteyne a company of poure people. _Me._ Thys is of my faythe a godely cõtemplacyõ, but I maruayll greatly, seyng you ar thus mynded, that ye neuer dyd vysyte saynt Patryckes purgatory in Yerlande, of the || whiche the comyn people boost many wonderouse thynges, whiche seme to me not lyke to be true. _Ogy._ Of a suerty ther is not so meruelouse talkynge of it here, but the thynge it selffe doth fare excede. _Me._ Hast thou bene ther than, & gonne thorow saynt Patryckes purgatory? _Ogy._ I haue saylede ouer a ryuer ot hell, I went downe vnto the gates of hell, I saw what was dõe ther. _Me._ Thou dost me a greate pleasure, if thou wyll wotsaue to tell me. _Ogy._ Lett this be the prohemy or begynnynge of owr communycatyon, longe enough as I suppose. I wyll gett me home, & cause my souper to be made redy, for I am yet vndynede. _Me._ Why haue you not yet dyned? is it bycause of holynes? _Ogy._ Noo of a truthe, but it is bycause of enuy and euyll will. _Me._ Owe ye euyll wyll to yowr bely? _Ogy._ No, but to the couetyse || tauerners euer catchynge and snatchynge the whiche when they wyll not sett afore a man that is mete & conuenyent, yet they are not afearde to take of straûgers that, whiche is bothe vnright and agaynst good consciens. Of thys fashyõ I am acustomed to be auengede vpon thê. If I thynke to fare well at souper other with myne acquayntauns, or with some host som what an honest man, at dyner tyme I am sycke in my stomacke, but if I chaunce to fare after myne appetyte at dyner, before souper also I begynne to be well at ease in my stomacke. _Me._ Wre ye not ashamede to be taken for a couetouse fellow & a nygerde? _Ogy._ Menedeme they that make cost of shame in soche thynges, beleue me, bestow theyr money euyll. I haue lerned to kepe my shame for other purposys. _Me._ Now I longe for the rest of yowr comunycacyon, || wherfore loke to haue me yowr geste at souper, where ye shall tell it more conuenyently. _Ogy._ For sothe I thanke you, that ye offere yowr selfe to be my gest vndesyred, when many hertely prayed refuse it, but I wyll gyue yow double thankes, if ye wyll soupe to day at home. For I must passe that tyme in doynge my dewty to my howsehold. But I haue counsell to eyther of vs moche more profytable.
