By my conjecture, thus meaneth the peddler, He saith men given to licentious life: And that each one, of another's state is a meddler, Which will be an occasion of much strife. He saith so much untruth and mutual hate, And no man contented with his vocation: He saith men degenerate from human state, Therefore from kind, he feigneth an alteration. I confess many things to be out of frame, Yet that to redress, we refer to authority: The enterprise of base meddlers, we do greatly blame, Wishing them to be rebuked with all severity. As for prattling of peddlers we do not pass, But for all things amiss, I wish amendment, If aught be no worse than ever it was, God give us grace to obey his commandment. For all things amiss, there would soon be redress, If every state would justly execute their office: And if all men would their faults confess, We should be the more meet to do God service. I have business to do and must needs depart, But because I have the peddlers words here recited: I ask pardon, with most lowly and penitent heart, Beseeching your honours, that nothing be required. Of necessity we must depart all, And therefore it is meet that we go together: But first upon our heavenly father let us all call, That mercifully he will all states consider. First let us pray for the Queen's Majesty on this part, Almighty God prosper and defend her Royal Majesty, Amen say all those, that have a true English heart, We have all cause to pray for her grace's prosperity. Also her honourable Council God prosper & save, And that honourable T. N. etc. of N. chiefly: Whom as our good Lord and master, found we have, Good Lord we beseech thee, to be his guide daily. O heavenly father, send workmen into thy harvest, And preserve them that are already sent: Suffer no wolves them to molest, Let them accomplish that whereto they are bent. Lord save thy people, and bless thine heritage, Thy mercy good Lord, upon this Commonalty extend. Thy Name be praised evermore from age to age, As it is now and ever shall be, world without end. You shall know more of my mind anon, Whist, peace a while, till they be gone. A sirrah, was not this a pretty cast of a peddler? I had none other way but this, my matters to open: Henceforth I intend to be no meddler, But let them mark well what I have spoken. See and foresee, look within, and look without: Though it be far off, yet it will come: See the third time and look about, Not without, but within, see ye, see some. And when you have seen that you shall see, You will think upon the peddler I ween: He will be a Drone that now is a Bee, I say no more, but God save our Queen. Be ready at midday, and also at midnight, Go forward apace, and also look back: An heavy purse maketh a man's heart light, There is no remedy, I must again to my pack.
