The 3••. Dialogue.

Vnchetus. Marellus.

* 1.1 Hast thou beene at the schoole to day?

Where * 1.2 else haue I been? but what didst thou?

I was * 1.3 occupied at home.

That fell out besides thy * 1.4 custome: for thou art wont to bee away * 1.5 very seldome.

As seldome as I can: but what o 1.6 is done?

Nothing at all.* 1.7

Have we then * 1.8 leave to play?

* 1.9 Yea verily.

Wherfore?

For this dayes * 1.10 market.

Who granted it?

s 1.11 the head master;* 1.12 yet by the permission of the * 1.13 Rectour.

What did hee grant?

* 1.14 Freedome from every scholasticall ••••nction.

* 1.15 What, for a whole day?

••••om the morning even untill the sunne∣••••tting: although hee admonished us dili∣gently, and indeed in many words, that * 1.16 u 1.17 in our vacation we should think of [our] businesse, lest wee shall come * 1.18 to morrow unprepared to the schoole.

Therfore what x 1.19 [doe] we? Shall we abuse this y 1.20 lei∣sure?

Verily that doth not become our age.* 1.21

Therefore what doest thou prepare ••o doe?

a 1.22 To betake my selfe into * 1.23 my study: except peradventure b 1.24 it please the••

Page 306

rather that wee goe forth some whithe•• walke an houre and a halfe.

Should I ••••••fuse? yea there is nothing which I * 1.25 〈◊〉〈◊〉 more desire, for wee also in the meane ti•••• (*) 1.26 will handle some speech belonging to lea••••ning, and d withall wee will exercise [our•• bodies.

Therefore let us goe withou•• the walls.

Whither?

(*) 1.27 even unto th•• banke of the lake.

f 1.28 This doth * 1.29 much please me: but thou (if it please thee) shal•• * 1.30 tarry for me.

M▪

How long?

S. So long whilest I goe to change my * 1.31 pantofles wit•• shooes▪

Where wilt thou that I tarry fo•• thee?

At the Franciscan gate.

But se•• thou doe not deceiue me.

Should I de∣ceiue my friend,* 1.32 sith I know that fidelity ought to be kept even to an enemy▪* 1.33

Go•• thy way, make hast. I will reade something in the meane time, whilest I k 1.34 tarry for thee▪

Marrell, God save [thee.]

l 1.35 Who is this saluter?

m 1.36 Behold I * 1.37 am returned.

Hoe so quickly! Thou seemest to me to have flowne.

Verily * 1.38 [my] uery affecti∣on hath * 1.39 put wings to my feet.

Le•• us goe now, * 1.40 the Lord guiding us.

It is God alone who doth leade forth his, and bring [them] backe.

Let us make haste: the lake is * 1.41 a good way hence.

We shall dine * 1.42 so much the better: q 1.43 goe forward▪
