004.C08.001  Well, I maie nowe receiue and dye: My sinne
004.C08.002  Indeede is great, butt I haue bein in [CW:A#purgatorie.|]
004.C08.003  A purgatorie, such as feard hell is [f.9v]
004.C08.004  A recreaco%Mn and skant mapp of this.
004.C08.005  My minde neither's with prides itch, nor yett hath bein,
004.C08.006  Poison'd with loue; to see or to be seene,
004.C08.007  I had no suite there, nor no suite to shewe,
004.C08.008  Yett went to Court; Butt as Glaze w%5ch%6 did goe
004.C08.009  To Masse in iest, catch'd was, faine to disburse,
004.C08.010  The hundred marks, which is the statutes curse.
004.C08.011  Before he skapte; So itt pleased my destenie,
004.C08.012  (Guiltie of my sinne of going) to thinck mee,
004.C08.013  As prone to all ill, and to good as forgett=
004.C08.014  Full, as proud, as lustfull, and as much in debt
004.C08.015  As vaine, as wittles, and as false as they
004.C08.016  Which dwell in Court, for once going that waye.
004.C08.017  Therfore I sufferd this, towards me did runne
004.C08.018  A thinge more strange, then on Nilus slyme, the Sunne
004.C08.019  Ere bred, or all which to Noahs ark ca[*%>>>m<<]e

004.C08.021  Stranger then seauen Antiquaries studdies,
004.C08.022  Then Affrick monsters, Guyanaes rarities. [CW:Stranger.|]
004.C08.023  Stranger then strangers; One whoe for a Dane [f.10r]
004.C08.024  In the Danes Massacre, had sure bein slaine,
004.C08.025  Yf he had liued then, and without help dyes
004.C08.026  When next the prentices gainst strangers ryze,
004.C08.027  One who%Me the watch att noone letts skarce go by
004.C08.028  One, to whome, thexamining Iustice, sure woold cry;
004.C08.029  S.%5r%6 by your Preisthood, tell me what you are;
004.C08.030  His clothes were strange, though course, and black though bare,

004.C08.033  Become Tuftaffetie: And our children shall
004.C08.034  See it plaine rash a while, then naught att all.
004.C08.035  This thing hath trauail'ed, and saith, speakes all tongues
004.C08.036  And onlie knoweth, what to all states belongs
004.C08.037  Made of th'accents, and best phraze of all theise,

004.C08.049  He names me, and comes to me, I whisper, God,
004.C08.050  Howe haue I sinned, that thy wraths furious rod
004.C08.051  This fellowe choseth me? He saith S.%5r%6
004.C08.052  I loue your iudgement; whome doe you preferr
004.C08.053  For the best linguist? And I seelily

004.C08.060  Yett a poore gentleman all theise maie pass,

004.C08.114  The Spanniards came, to the loss of Amiens,
004.C08.115  Like a bigg wife, at sight of loathed meat
