noe dainties this yeare; and therefore, I pray, come neare the house, and wellcome heartily, doe soe. [Footnote 279: An unrecorded word. G.] [Footnote 280: Folk-lore, as in Herrick, &c.

If my Mrs. should heare of this, I' faith shee would give you little thankes I can tell you, for offeringe to draw so faire a flight from her Pigeon-house (as you call it) to your Dayrie-house. _Jo._ Wisely, wisely, brother Richard; I' faith as I would vse the matter, I dare say shee would giue me great thankes: for you know my Mrs. charged me earnestly to retaine all idele hearvest-folkes that past this way; and my meaning was, that, if I could hold them all this night and to-morrow, on Monday morning to carry them into the fields; and to make them earne their entertaynment well and thriftily; and to that end I have heere a _Rake_ and _Forke_, to deliver to the best Huswife in all this company. _B._ Doe soe then: deliver them to the best Huswife in all this company: for wee shall haue as much vse of her paines and patience there as here.

TIME _with yeollow haire, and in a green roabe, with a hower glasse, stopped, not runninge_. _P._ Wellcome, good _Time_. _T._ Godden, my little pretie priuat _Place_. _P._ Farewell, godbwy _Time_; are you not gone? doe you stay heere? I wonder that _Time_ should stay any where; what's the cause?
