I know not in the world how to do the thing That to his stomach, may be delighting. Why fooly she I deot, thou goest about a wife Which is a burden and yoke all thy life. Admit she shall as a burden with me remain, Yet ●oyll I take one, if your good will I attain. Son it shall not be thus by my counsel. I trust ye will not me otherwise compel. If thou were as wise, as I have judged thee Thou wouldest in this case be ruled by me. To follow the contrary I can not be turned My hat thereon is styflly fixed. What I say, about thine own destruction? Not, not, but about mine own salvation: For if I be helped, If were by the Mass, It is only Marriage that brings it to pass. It is not the School, it is not the Book, It is not Science or Occupation, It is not to be a harbour or Cook Wherein is now set my consolation. And since it is thus, be father content For to marye a wife, I am full bent. Well if thou wilt not my Son, be ruled But needs will follow thine own foolysshenes, Take heed hereafter if thou be troubled At me thou never seek redress. For I am certain thou canst not abide Any pain at all, grief, or vexation. Thy childhood with me so easily did slide Full of all pastime and delectation. And if thou wouldest follow the Book and learning, And with thyself also, take a wise way: Then thou mayst get a gentleman's lining And with many other bear a great sway. Besides this I would in time to come After my power, and small havylytie, Help the and further thee, as my wisdom, Should me most counsel for thy commodity. And such a wife I would prepare for the As should be virtuous, wise and honest, And give the with her after my degree, Whereby thou mightest always live in test. I cannot, I tell ye again, so much of my life Consume at my Book without a wife. I perceive therefore. I have done to well And showed over much favour to thee, That now against me thou dost rebel And for thine own furtherance wilt not agreed. Wherefore of my goods thou gettest not a penny Nor any succour else at my hands For such a child is most unworthy To have any part of his father's lands. I do not estéme father your goods or lands Or any part of all your treasure, For I judge it enough to be out of bands And from this day forward to take my pleasure. Well, if it shall chance the thy folly to repent As thou art like within short space, Think none but thyself worthy to be shent, Letting my council to take no place.

¶ I knowe not in the worlde howe to do the thynge That to his ſtomacke, maye be delyghtynge. ¶ Why fooly ſhe I deot, thou goeſt about a wyfe Which is a burthen and yoke all thy lyfe. ¶ Admyt ſhe ſhall as a burthen with me remayne, Yet oyll I take one, if your good wyll I attayne. ¶ Sonne it ſhall not be thus by my counſell. ¶ I truſte ye wyll not me otherwyſe compell. ¶ If thou were as wyſe, as I haue iudged the Thou woldeſt in this caſe be ruled by me. ¶ To folowe the contrarye I can not be turned My hatte theron is ſtyflly fixed. ¶ What I ſaye, about thine owne diſtruction? ¶ No, no, but about myne owne ſaluation: For if I be helped, If were by the Maſſe, It is onely Maryage that brynges it to paſſe. It is not the Schole, it is not the Booke, It is not Science or Occupacion, It is not to be a arbour or Cooke Wherein is now ſet my conſolacion. And ſynce it is thus, be father content For to marye a wyfe, I am full bent. ¶ Well if thou wylt not my Sonne, be ruled But nedes wyll folowe thyne owne foolyſſhenes, Take hede hereafter if thou be troubled At me thou neuer ſeeke redreſſe. For I am certeyn thou canſt not abyde Any payne at all, gryefe, or vexacion. Thy Chyldhood with me ſo eaſely dyd ſlyde Full of all paſtyme and delectacyon. And if thou woldeſt folowe the Booke and learnynge, And with thy ſelfe alſo, take a wyſe waye: Then thou mayſt get a gentlemans lynynge And with many other beare a great ſwaye. Beſydes this I wolde in time to come After my power, and ſmall havylytie, Helpe the and further the, as my wyſdome, Shulde me moſt counſell for thy Commodytie. And ſuch a wyfe I woulde prepare for the As ſhoulde be vertuous, wiſe and honeſt, And gyue the wyth her after my degree, Wherby thou mighteſt alwayes lyue in teſt. ¶ I cannot, I tell ye agayne, ſo much of my lyfe Conſume at my Booke without a wyfe. ¶ I perceyue therfore. I haue done to well And ſhewed ouer much fauoure to the, That now agaynſt me thou doeſt rebell And for thyne owne furtheraunce wylt not agree. Wherfore of my goodes thou getteſt not a peny Nor anye ſuccoure els at my handes For ſuch a childe is moſt vnworthy To haue any parte of his fathers landes. ¶ I do not eſtéme father your goodes or landes Or any parte of all your treaſure, For I iudge it ynoughe to be out of bandes And from this daye forward to take my pleaſure. ¶ Well, if it ſhall chaunce the thy folye to repent As thou art lyke within ſhort ſpace, Thynke none but thy ſelfe worthy to be ſhent, Lettynge my councell to take no place.
