He is welcome. Have you given him any principles, such as you know are necessary? and is he docible? He is ready for your hand Sir. I will not commit such an error (knowing you as I do) but lay the foundation. You may work upon him as you list I warrant you. Sir I hope you shall find me diligent, and according to your heart. Thou hast a good stern countenance, I like thee well: if thy mind be as untoward it will be suitable. I warrant you Sir, no man shall get any thing of me, but I will know how he comes by it, except yourself, whom I will trust withal I have. Deal with me as you please. I thank you. Nay, if I deal not well with you, I wish no man should deal ill with me. I hear you have land lying near me, I would have you be a good husband, and keep it. Let me lay up your writings safe lest some deceive you of them. That you shall Sir, here they be. They shall be in pawn to you for my good behaviour: for I think no man will give his word for me. Thou art the fittest man for me that ever I met withal: nor any man (I think) will undertake I shall be a good master to thee. 'tis no matter sir, I will stand to your gentleness. Well said: and I'll even deal with thee thereafter. Thou hast a service a dog would not have it, except his tail were already so short cut to his breech that no more could be spared. I warrant thou turn seen the last of thy writings. They will pull thy land after them. And that's but law. Is it true that you told me (Acuto) at our last parley here that there were such valiant people in times past that willingly and cheerfully went to their death when they might have enjoyed life longer. There is no question of it except we should discredit all Historiographers, who make honourable mention of them in all ages before us. And in our own time and memory there have been many such men. I protest it is a wonderful courage these people have, and in mine opinion far beyond the stoutness of the soldiers. For they go to kill and contend, not meaning to die, which only they strive against, and avoid by all means they can, and provide above all things to be well armed for safety of life. But the martyr with not resisting, conquers death, and fears not that which is feared and shunned of all others. Therefore I think them worthy of great honour and perpetual memory. But who are they (say you) that give testimony of them? me thought it was a very fine word. They be Historiographers. O Histornoggerfers. a brave word. I'll make a knot of these letters. No, Historiographers man. Now I have it Histriagerfers. Not so neither: you must mark well, & pronounce it just as I do.
