Tim[.] Insooth yo^r loue & company more deere

Wee estimate then glutting belly cheere

Eus. And well rememberd, further I request
that euery man would bring w^th him a ffreind

the mo<re>, the Merryer and then mirth is best.

yet may excesse or <bi>tternes offend
ending in enmitie and humours wyld

all w^ch from vs be euer far exilde.

Tim. Amen. Eus. But being foure, w^thout excuses

bring foure & make the number of the Muses.

Tim. nay that must lye in yo^u. Eus. But one thing more
(at w^ch I hope, not any will repine)

see that of sawce you bring sufficient store
Ile fynd you onely meate w^th bread & wyne
Tim. What sorts of sawce, I pray yo^u should wee bring!

peppar! or sugar? or what other thing?

Eus. O you are wyde; no seasoning stuffe is meete
but such a sawce as better doth disgest

being more proffitable & more sweet, . . . . . . . . . . . . [Description of]
for euery kynd of meat still seruing best . . . . . . . . the best sawce
requiring no incumbrance nor expence

but moderate walking & due abstinence.

Tim. By this description, Hunger you implye.
Eus. yea thats the sawce I wish yo^u to prepare

cheifly in case where inuitations tye
yo^r stomachs, as myne doth to homely fare
least by yo^r feeding in too sparing wise

yo^r Host conceiue his vyands yo^u despize.

Tim. To gloz<i>ng Parasites & Epicures
that reckon Gurmundizing highest blisse

or those whome vitling specially allures
this yo^r aduise (I graunt) were not amisse.
But he in basenes doth exceed a Beast

who more then freindship doth respect a ffeast.

Eus. yet Amitie w^th Acts of Hospitalitie
fitly accords in euery generous Host

As wealth w^th hono^r, howbeit ffrugaliti<e>
ought allwayes to be Ruler of the Rost
But breifly none more <kindly> sh<all> receiue <y>o^u

how ere yo^r dyet proue, & so I <l>eaue yo^u. /
