D.	Yes ſomething elſe.	Imo aliud.
C.	Forſooth that you ſleep ſo ſoundly that one may throw the houſe over your head, ſo far are you from waking of your ſelfe, either out of love to your booke, or for feare of your maſter, or reſpect to your Parents.	80	Nempe, quod ita ſecùrè dormias, ut nullo clamore poſſis excitáti, tantum abeſt ut evigiles tuâpte ſponte, vel amore l…erarum, vel praeceptoris metu vel reverentiâ parentum.

F.	We have almoſt all of us ſcabbed heads; and (I think) people avoid that.	25	Plerique omnes habémus capita ſcabióſa: id vitant (credo) hómines.
E.	Do your parents drink ſo many jugs of beer, and can they not ſpare ſo much from their throat, as to buy a comb?	30	Tot cyathos cerviſiae tui parentes exhauriuns: non tantum poſſunt detráhere gutturi ſuo, ut emant pectinem?
F.	Truly I know not.	Neſcio herclè.

J.	So it is. The maſter bade every one to be ſet down.	Sic eſt. praeceptor univerſos conſcribi juſſit.
L.	Which? thoſe that were preſent, or thoſe that were abſent.	25	Ʋtros? Praeſentéſne, an abſentes.
J.	Surely thoſe that were abſent.	Abſentes nimirum.

J.	Say not ſo. I know what he promiſed me.	Nè dixeris. Scio quid mihi pollicitus ſit.
L.	Ye ſhall both be whipt if the maſter know it.	Pendebétis ambo, ſi reſciſcitat magiſter.
J.	I leave that to God Almighties care.	45	Iſtud ego diis ſuperis committo.
