45 To Master Cooke, the Queenes Atturney, that wa incited to call Misacmos into the Starre-chamber, but refused it; saying, he that could giue another a Vene, had a sure ward for himselfe.

THose that of dainty fare make deare prouision, If some bad Cookes marre it with dressing euill, Are wont to say in iest, but iust derision, The meat from God, the Cookes came frō the diuell. But, if this dish, though draffe in apparision, Were made thus sawst, a seruice not vnciuill, Say ye that taste, and not digest the Booke, The Dee'le go with the meat, God with the Cooke.
