To his deare friend Maister Thomas Cranly.

EPIGR. 14.

BRother, for so I call thee, not because Thou wert my Fathers, or my Mothers sonne, Nor consanguinity, nor wedlock lawes, Could such a kindred twixt vs haue begun, We are not of one blood, nor yet name neither, Nor sworn in brotherhood with ale house quarts We neuer were so much as drunke together, Twas no such slight acquaintance ioynd our harts But a long knowledge with much trial did it (Which for to chuse a friend are good directions,) And though we lou'd both well at first, both hid it, Till 'twas discouered by a like affections.

Since which, thou hast ore-gon me far in showing The Office of a friend; do't stil and spare not, Lo heere's a Memorandum for what's owing; But know for all thy kind respect I care not, Vnlesse thou'lt show how I may seruice do thee, Then I wil sweare I am beholding to thee.

Thine G. VV.
