WHy wast thou a 1.1 away to day in the morning?
I was * 1.2 busie.
In what busines?
In writing le••ters to my mother.
What neede b 1.3 was there to write to her s
Because shee had written to me.
* 1.4 Therefore thou hast written backe.
Thou speakest c 1.5 properly.
From whence * 1.6 sent she letters unto thee?
From the countrey, to wit, from our d 1.7 farme-house.
When went shee into the countrey?
* 1.8 But a few dayes ago.
What doth she f 1.9 in the countrey?
What especi∣ally?
She doth wisely.
* 1.14 From whence couldest thou prove this?
For a diligent prepara∣tion is to be * 1.15 used in all things.
Who hath taught thee k 1.16 this?
m 1.19 by what occasion?
When he admonished [me] that I would prepare my selfe diligently to n 1.20 repeat the weekes worke * 1.21 the day following.
But let vs returne to the purpose: have ye not a bailiffe which * 1.24 l••oketh to your busines at the countrey?
Because she knoweth better to * 1.30 looke to all things, then these •• vnskilfull countrey folkes.
Nothing more?
Suffer me u 1.31 to end my purpose.
I did thinke * 1.32 that thou hadst finished, goe on.
Yea (as I have heard of my father) the chiefe care of a master is re∣quired in * 1.33 ordering z 1.34 his houshold busi∣nes. Therefore thy father ought rather to a 1.35 be at the b 1.36 farme house now.
He can∣not.
What c 1.37 hindreth him?
Hee f reapeth * more commodity g 1.40 of that as
I thinke.
Who doth doubt?
Therfore h 1.41 * 1.42 it commeth to passe thereupon, that he leaveth all the care of his houshold busines to his wife.
* 1.43 It is even so.
