He sent her word, that he was willing to performe her request, or any farre greater matter for her: in which respect, he onely desired for to know, when she would be pleased to have him come see her, and to receive the money of him? No creature hee acquainted with his setled purpose, but onely a deere friend and kinde companion, who alwayes used to keepe him company, in the neerest occasions that concerned him. The Gentlewoman, or rather most disloyall wife, uppon this answer sent her, was extraordinarily jocond and contented, returning him a secret Letter, wherein she signified: that _Gasparuolo_ her husband, had important affaires which called him to _Geneway_: but he should understand of his departure, and then (with safety) he might come see her, as also his bringing of the Crownes. In the meane while, _Gulfardo_ having determined what he would do, watched a convenient time, when he went unto _Gasparuolo_, and sayde: Sir, I have some businesse of maine importance, and shall neede to use but two hundred Crownes onely: I desire you to lend me so many Crownes, upon such profite as you were wont to take of mee, at other times when I have made use of you, and I shall not faile you at my day. _Gasparuolo_ was well contented with the motion, and made no more adoe, but counted downe the Crownes: departing thence (within few dayes after) for _Geneway_, according** to his Wives former message; she giving _Gulfardo_ also intelligence of his absence, that now (with safety) hee might come see her, and bring the two hundred Crownes with him. _Gulfardo_, taking his friend in his company, went to visite Mistresse _Ambrosia_, whom he found in expectation of his arrivall, and the first thing he did, he counted downe the two hundred Crownes; and delivering them to her in the presence of his friend, saide: Mistresse _Ambrosia_, receive these two hundred Crownes, which I desire you to pay unto your Husband on my behalfe, when he is returned from _Geneway. Ambrosia_, receyved the two hundred Crownes, not regarding wherefore _Gulfardo_ used these words: because shee verily beleeved, that hee spake in such manner, because his friend should take no notice, of his giving them to her, upon any covenant passed betweene them; whereuppon, she sayde. Sir, I will pay them to my Husband for you; and cause him to give you a sufficient discharge: but first I will count them over my selfe, to see whether the summe be just, or no. And having drawne them over upon the Table, the summe containing truly two hundred Crownes (wherewith she was most highly contented) she lockt them safe uppe in her Cuppe-boord, and _Gulfardoes_ Friend being gone (as formerly it was compacted betweene them) shee came to converse more familiarly with him, having provided a banquet for him. What passed between them afterward, both then, and oftentimes beside, before her Husbande returned home, is a matter out of my element, and rather requires my ignorance then knowledge.
