_Bea._ Ye se also lykewyse that no man can abyde to
be called thefe, and yet all men do not abhorre
the thynge so greatly. _Boni._ I wolde gladly haue
you to declare your mynde in this more playnlye &
at large. _Bea._ What difference is there betwene
hym whiche stealeth thy money forthe of thy cofer,
and hym whiche forsweareth and falsely denyeth
that whiche thou cõmytted to his custodie to be
reserued and safely kept for thy vse only, or to
suche tyme as thou arte mynded to call for it

he is the falser knaue of the twayne whiche robbes
a man that puttes his confidence and trust in hym.
_Bea._ yea but howe fewe men are there nowe adayes

deluer it agayne it is ||so dymynysshed,
gelded, nypped, and pynched, that it is not
delyuered whollye, but some thinge cleues in theyr

_Bea._ And yet for all that there is none of al
these that cã abyde it ones to be called thefe,
and yet forsothe they hate not the thing so
greatly. _Boni._ That is as trewe as the gospell.
_Bea._ Consyder me nowe and marke I beseche the
howe the goodes of orphanes, pupylls, wardes, and
