¶ Tushe man they bee stoute fellowes: they doe scorne theise thinges, and make as it were no accompt of them.
William.
¶ But yet they are stout with hazardinge of many a mannes helth I tell you plainely.
Bertulphe.
¶ Why? What should a man do? They haue thus vsed them selues euermore, and it is a token of constancy and stabilitie neuer to varye or geue ouer that whiche they haue once taken in hand.
William.
¶ But aboue twentye yeeres agone, there was nothinge more vsed amonge the Brabanders, then the common Bathes. And now adaies, the same are laied a side euery where: for this straũg scabbe (I speake of) hathe taught men to come no more thether.
Bertulphe.
¶ But go toe? Harken to the rest of my tale that is behind. That grim bearded Ganimede coms to vs afterwardes againe, and layeth as many tables as he then thinkes will serue for the nomber of his guestes, But Lord, what baggage are the table clothes? if you saw them I dare say you would think them hẽpen cloths, that are taken from the sailes of ships: they be so course, for he hath apointed that viii. guests shall sit at one table at the least. Nowe those that are acquainted with the facion of the country, doe sit downe euery man, where he listeth him selfe, for there is no diuersitie or cursye I tell you there, betweene the poore man and the riche, betweene the Master and his seruaunt. They are all one. One as good as an other, there is heere (as they say) no difference betwene the shepherd and his dog.
