Yf ye lacke water, what coulde ye drynke or eate?

Wythout water coulde lyve neyther man nor best, 665

For water preservyth both moste and lest.

For water coulde I say a thousande thynges mo,

Savynge as now the tyme wyll not serve so;

And as for that wynde that you do sew fore,

Is good for your wynde-myll and for no more. 670

Syr, syth all thys in experyence is tryde,

I say thys mater standeth clere on my syde.

Wynde Myller. Well, syns thys wyll not serve, I wyll alledge the reste.
