O.	Do I find you here?	Hiccine te reperio?

O.	What do you elſe?	Quid facis ámplius?
P.	I make the bed, I make the fire, I fetch water, I waite upon my Maſter, forth and home againe.	15	Concinno lectum, ſtruo ignem, apporto aquam, abdúco herum, & redùco.
O.	I hear you.	Audio.
P.	I make ready the table.	Adorno menſam.
O.	Tell the reſt.	Dic caetera.
P.	Waiting on my maſter whileſt he is at dinner, I reade over a chapter in the Bible.	20	Prandenti adſtans, récito ſacram lectionem.
O.	When do you dine your ſelfe?	Tu quando prandes?
P.	When he hath got his dinner.	Ubi ipſe pránd erit.
O.	What doe you uſe to eat?	Quid éſitas?
P.	Whatſoever I have taken away.	25	Quicquid ſuſtuli.

O.	Who gets his meate ready for him?	Quis parat ei cibos?
P.	What do you thinke of me?	Quid me cenſes?
O.	I know not what you are now. Once verily thou waſt as dull as a Beetle.	45	Quales nunc ſis, neſcio. Olim certè non fuit quicquam hebetius.
P.	This man hath ſharpened me and informed me?	Hic me exácuit, ſe erudivit.
O.	On free coſt?	50	Gratis?
P.	Yes. But on this condition, that I ſhould never leave him.	Omnino. Sed hac lege, ut ab illo nunquam diſcédam.
O.	Art thou ſuch a foole, that thou wouldſt yeeld thy ſelf perpetually to ſerve any man for no reward?	55	Adeóne ſtulius es, ut alicui te in pérpetuam ſervitútem tradas nullo praemio?
P.	Can you deſire any greater reward then I have?	60	Ecquid magis praemium expetas, quám ego fero?
O.	Tell me, what reward doe you receive.	Expone, quod praemium feras.
P.	He will give me my meate and drinke as long as I live.	Quoad vivam, ſuppeditábit hic mihi alimoniam.
O.	Do you ſerve for meat and drink onelyonly? where is your apparell in the meane time?	65	Tune ſervis pro alimonia tantum? ubi veſtitus interim?
P.	He allowes me ſuch clothes as you ſee.	Idem praebet, qualem vides, veſtitum.
O.	A fine ſuit indeed.	70	Elegans mehercle veſtitus.
P.	If I dye before him, I ſhall want nothing that is neceſſary, eſpecially with ſo wealthy a maſter. But if he dye before me, what ever he hath will be mine.	75	Si mortnus fuero ante ipſum, nihil mihi deſuerit rerum neceſſariarum, praeſertim apud tam opulentum herum. Sin ipſe antè moriátur, meum fuerit quicquid habet.
O.	What if you ſhould lye lingering on a long diſeaſe?	80	Quid ſi longus te morbus excoxerit?
P.	He will never put me away.	Nunquam ſubmovebit.

O.	In the mean time you muſt ſit there perpetually, as if you were in a dungeon.	90	Interim iſtic, tanquam in carcere, perpétuò ſeſſitare debes.
P.	We ſometimes goe abroad.	Nonnunquam prodimus.
O.	To whom?	Ad quos?
P.	To a Sermon, to a conference of good men.	Ad concionem ſacram, ad Collóqniam doctorum virerum.
O.	Haſt thou no leave given thee to gad abroad ſometimes?	95	Non tibi facultas evagandi datur aliquando?
P.	Now I doe not deſire it. At the firſt it was ſomewhat ſharp.	100	Non cupio modò. Initio erat ſubacerbum.
O	In the mean time you enjoy not the liberty to doe what you will.	Interim non frueris libertáte faciendi quod libet.
P.	That which you call liberty is meere licentiouſneſſe.	105	Quam tu voces libertátem, mera licéntia eſt	For here I want no iiberty to doe well.	Non bîc mihi benefaciendi deeſt ulla libertas.
O.	But you muſt doe every thing by a rule.	Sed ad proeſcriptum debes ómniafácere.
P.	VVhither elſe ſhould I run to my own ruine, unleſſe I were kept in as it were by theſe ſences? eſpecially ſince we are all prone to evill from out youth.	110	Quo alioqui ruerem niſi his tanquam ſeptis coercérer? Maximè cum ſimus ad m…lum proclives omnes ab adoleſcentiá.
O.	But how do you ſpend the whole day without tediouſneſſe?	115	Quomodo vero totum diem couſumis citra taedium?
P.	I would have you to heare that.	Iſtud volo ut audias.
O.	Nay rather I intreat you if it be no trouble to you, that you would tell it me at large.	120	Imo ego te oro, ſi non eſt moleſtum, ut mihi exponas.
P.	Being awake in the morning, I get up the firſt.	Experrectus manè, ſurgo prior.
O.	At what a clock?	Quota horâ?
P.	Commonly about five.	Ferè circa quintam.	Being ſtirred then, as I ſaid, I preſently rouſ up my Corps, and ſtep quickly out of my bed.	125	Excitátus igitur, ſicut dixi, ſine mora corpus érigo; è lecto ſtatim me ſubduco.	Having firſt ſpoken theſe words.	Haec verba prolocutus.	Almighty God the Father, Son, and holy Ghoſt be here. Amen.	130	Adſit Deus omnipotens pater, & Filius, & Spiritus Sanctus. Amen.

A Prayer.	Orátio.
I thanke thee, O Father of Heaven and earth, for that thou haſt kept me ſafe this night.	135	Grátias tibi ago, Pater coeli & terrae, quod me hac nocte ſervaris incolumem.
Grant, I beſeech thee, that I may ſo paſſe over this day in thy fear, that I may never ſwerve from thy commandements.	140	Da, quaeſo, ut totum hunc diem in timore tuo ſic tránſigam, ut à praeceptis tuis nunquam deflectam.

Amen.

A Prayer.

Orátio.

Beſtow upon us, O Lord Jeſus Chriſt, thy holy Spirit, which may reſtrain our idle thoughts, which may frame our words and amend our lives; that we may be found worthy of thy heavenly inheritance, unto which thou (being made man) haſt vouchſafed to come and call us.

145 105

Impertire nobis, Domine Jeſu Chriſte, Spiritum ſanctum tuum, qui vanas noſtras cogitationes cohibeat verba formet, emendet opera; ut digni inveniámur haereditáte tua coeleſti, ad quam nos (factus homo) véniens vocare dignátuses.

Amen.
