147A s s uring of friend ship both with tooth and nayle,

148Whiles life la steth neuer to fayle.

150 P A thousand thankes I geue you, oh friend Ari stippus

152Oh friend Carisophus.

154How ioyfull am I sith I haue to friend Ari stippus now?

156 P None so glad of Carisophus friend ship as I, I make God a vowe,

157I speake as I thinke, beleue me.

159 P Sith we are now so friendly ioyned, it s eemeth to mee,

160That one of vs helpe eche other in euery degree,

161Prefer you my cause when you are in presence,

162To further your matters to the Kinge let me alone in your absence,

164 P Friend Carisophus, this shall be done as you would wi sh,

165But I pray you tell mee, thus much by the way,

166Whither now from this place wyll you take your iournay?

168 P I wyll not di s s emble, that were again st Friend ship,

169I go into the Citie some knaues to nip:

170For talke with their goodes, to encrease the kynges Treasure,

171In such kinde of seruice, I set my cheefe pleasure,

174 P A dewe friend Carisophus: In good faith now,

175Of force I must laugh at this solempne vow,

176Is Ari stippus linckt in friend ship with Carisophus?

177 Quid cum tanto A sino, talis Philosophus ?

178They say, Morum similitudo consultat amicitias .

179Then, how can this friend ship betwene vs two come to pa s s e?

180We are as like in condicions, as Iacke Fletcher and his Bowlt,

181I brought vp in learnyng, but he is a very dolt

182As touching good Letters: but otherwise suche a craftie knaue,

183Yf you s eeke a whole Region, his lyke you can not haue:

184A Uillaine for his life, a Uarlet died in Graine,

186A flatteryng Para site, a Sicophant also,

187A commen accuser of men: to the good, an open Foe,

188Of halfe a worde, he can make a Legend of lies,
