The good will is worth ac∣ceptance.

That penny is well spent that saves a groat.

He hath as much need of it as I have of the cough —

Too weake a sparr for such a building —

You kill him with kindnes

A leane fee's a fit reward for a lazie clerke.

Foule water's good enough to quench fire.

Draffe is good enough for swine.

I will make my enemy a silver bridge to pass over.

What cannot gold doe?

In some thing is some sa∣vour.
