Fr. R. I, Fryar Richard.
Baker. What would you have that you are stirringe thus An hower before the Dawne.
Fr. Rich. I cannott sleepe
And understandinge there's meale redy ground,
Which thou must fetch this morninge from the mill,
I'l save thee so much pey[n]es. Lend mee the beast,
And lett mee forthe the gate; I'l bringe boathe back
Ere the bell ringe for mattens.
Baker. Marry, Fryar Richard,
With all my hart, and thanke yee. I'l but ryse
And halter her, then lett you forthe the gate;
You'l save mee so much labour.
