Nay good Master Cromwell be not angry sir, I know full well that you are no such man, But if your conscience were as white as Snow, It will be thought that you are otherwise, Will it be thought that I am other wise? Let them that think so know they are deceived; Shall Cromwell live to have his faith misconsterd, Antwerp for all the wealth within thy Town I will not stay here full two hours longer: As good luck serves, my accounts are all made even, Therefore i'll strait unto 〈◊〉 treasurer, Bagot, I know you'll to the gournour, Commend me to him, say I am bound to travail, To see the fruitful parts of Italy, And as you ever bore a Christian mind, Let Banister some favour of you find. For your sake sir i'll help him all I can, To starve his heart out ear he gets a groat, So Master Cromwell do I take my leave, For I must strait unto the governor. Farewell sir, pray you remember what I said: No Cromwell, no, thy heart was near so base To live by falsehood or by brokery, But it falls out well, I little it repent, Hereafter, time in travel shallbe spent. Your son Thomas, quoth you, I have been Thomased, I had thought it had been no such matter to a gone by water: for at Putney i'll go you to Parish-garden for two pence, sit as still as may be, without any wagging or jolting in my guts, in a little boat too: here we were scarce four mile in the great green water, but I thinking to go to my afternoons unchines, as 'twas my manner at home, but I felt a kind of rising in my guts: at last one a the Sailors spying of me, be a good cheer says he, set down thy victuals, and up with it, thou hast nothing but an Eele in thy belly▪ Well, to't went I, to my victuals went the Sailors, & thinking me to be a man of better experience than any in the ship, asked me what Wood the ship was made of: they all swore I could them as right as if I had been acquainted with the Carpenter that made it, at last we grew near land, and I grew villainous hungry, went to my bag, the devil a bit there was, the Sailors had tickled me▪ yet I cannot blame them, it was a part of kindness, for I in kindness told them what Wood the ship was made of, and they in kindness eat up my victuals, as indeed one good turn asketh another: well would I, could I, find my Master Thomas in this Dutch Town, he might put some English Bear into my belly. What Hodge my father's man, by my hand welcome, How doth my father? what's the news at home?
