_Ciutazza_, if thou wilt doe for me one nights service, I shall bestow on thee a faire new Smocke. When _Ciutazza_ heard her speake of a new Smocke, instantly she answered. Madame, if you please to bestow a new Smocke on me, were it to runne thorow the fire for you, or any businesse of farre greater danger, you onely have the power to command me, and I will doe it. I will not (said _Piccarda_) urge thee to any dangerous action, but onely to lodge in my bed this night with a man, and give him courteous entertainement, who shall reward thee liberally for it. But have an especiall care that thou speake not one word, for feare thou shouldst be heard by my Brethren, who (as thou knowest) lodge so neere by: doe this, and then demaund thy Smocke of me. Madame (quoth _Ciutazza_) if it were to lye with sixe men, rather then one; if you say the word, it shall be done. When night was come, the Provoste also came according to appointment, even when the two brethren were in their lodging, where they easily heard his entrance, as _Piccarda_ (being present with them) had informed them. In went the Provoste without any candle, or making the least noise to be heard, & being in _Piccardaes_ Chamber, went to bed: _Ciutazza_ tarrying not long from him, but (as her Mistresse had instructed her) she went to bed likewise, not speaking any word at all, and the Provoste, imagining to have her there, whom he so highly affected, fell to imbracing and kissing _Ciutazza_, who was as forward in the same manner to him, and there for a while I intend to leave them. When _Piccarda_ had performed this hot piece of businesse, she referred the effecting of the remainder to her Brethren, in such sort as it was compacted betweene them. Faire and softly went the two brethren forth of their Chamber, and going to the Market place, Fortune was more favourable to them then they could wish, in accomplishing the issue of their intent. For the heat being somwhat tedious, the Lord Bishop was walking abroad very late, with purpose to visit the Brethren at the Widdowes house, because he tooke great delight in their company, as being good Schollers, and endued with other singular parts beside. Meeting with them in the open Market place, he acquainted them with his determination; whereof they were not a little joyfull, it jumping so justly with their intent.
