Novi hominum tanquam te, His humour is lofty, his discourse peremptory: his tongue filled, his eye ambitious, his gate majestical, and his general behaviour vain, ridiculous, and thrasonical. He is too picked, too spruce, too affected, too odd, as it were, too peregrinat, as I may call it. A most singular and choice Epithat, He draweth out the thread of his verbosity, finer than the staple of his argument. I abhor such fanatical phantasims, such insociable and point device companions, such rackers of ortagriphie, as to speak doubt fine, when he should say doubt; det, when he should pronounce debt; debt, not det: he clepeth a Calf, Caufe: half, haufe: neighbour vocatur neighbour; neigh abreviated ne: this is abominable, which he would call abominable: it insinuateth me of infamy: ne inteligis domine, to make frantic, lunatic? Laus deo, bene intelligo. Bome boon for boon prescian, a little scratched, 'twil serve. Vides ne quis venit? Video, & gaudio. Chirra. Quare Chirra, not Sirrah? Men of peace well encountered.

Peace, the peal begins. monsieur, are you not lettered? Yes, yes, he teaches boys the Hornbook: What is Abspeld backward with the horn on his head? Ba, puericia with a horn added. Ba most silly Sheep, with a horn: you hear his learning. Quis quis, thou Consonant? The last of the five Vowels if You repeat them, or the fift if I. I will repeat them: a e I The Sheep, the other two concludes it o u. Now by the salt wave of the mediteranium, a sweet touch, a quick vene we of wit, snip snap, quick & home, it rejoiceth my intellect, true wit. Offered by a child to an old man: which is wit-old. What is the figure? What is the figure? Horns. Thou disputes like an Infant: go whip thy Gig. Lend me your Horn to make one, and I will whip about your Infamy unum cita a gig of a Cuckold's horn. And I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst have it to buy Ginger bread: Hold, there is the very Remuneration I had of thy Master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou Pidgeon-egge of discretion. O & the heavens were so pleased, that thou wert but my Bastard; What a joyful father wouldst thou make me? Go to, thou hast it ad dungil, at the finger's ends, as they say. Oh I smell false Latin, dunghel for unguem. Artsman preambulat, we will be singled from the barbarous. Do you not educate youth at the Charg-house on the top of the Mountain? Or Mons the hill. At your sweet pleasure, for the Mountain. I do sans question.
