  +Helth.+ Wyll ye heare how he doth clatter? 
What neede ye to rehearse all this matter.
ye know that we twayne afore any other. 
Lyberty must nedes haue styll. 
  Lybertie on vs is glade to wayte
ye stande to farre in your owne conceyte
I wys lybertye ye ran make no bayte
To catche vs at your will.

+liberty.+ Now there ye lye, I can suffer no longer Welth for Lybertye doth loboure euer 270 And helth for Libertye is a great store Therfore set me not so lyght

+wealth+ Libertye I pray the reason no more ye are welcome to vs as ye were before In dede ofliberty it is great suter Therfore welcome by this lyght

+Wyll..+ Mary I am come at the first call
Wyll, your owne man haue me who shall
For I am will seruaunt to you al
Ye shall not neede to sende for me.

+Welth.+ Who is acquanted with this man
He is very homely and lytle good he can
To come in here so boldly, then
Dryue him away quickly,

+Wy ll.+ Why, I cam not tyll I was called 290 your owne wyll openly ye named Then I came a pace lest I should be blamed Therfore I pray you let me byde styll,

+ealth+ Whole wyll, or what wyll, doth he meane

+liberty.+ This is a straunge saying vnto me
My wyl, your wyll, and his wyll, this cannot be
For in our wyles is a great diuersitie
For one is not lyke another,

+Wyll.+ Yet by Christ your owne wyl I am
The maddest wyl, and the meriest, than
For goddes sake now, let me be your man
Tyl ye haue better acquaintaunce.

+wealth+ I perceyue this felow is kynde 310
And oweth to vs good wyl and mynde
Some kindes agayne then let hym finde
Let him haue some furderaunce

+Wyll.+ By god sir and I durst be so bolde Arquaintance of this man clayme I would and kynred to, yf the trouth were tolde we be of one consanguynitie

  +Health+ How fo? let me here that I pray thee hartly

+Wyll.+ Wyl and lybertyeis, of aunciterie olde with out lyberfye, wili dare not bebolde 320 And where wyl lacketh, lybertye is full colde Thyrfore wyl and lybertye must nedes be of kyn.

+liberti.+ In dede as he saythe it may well be
For wyl euer longeth vnto lybrtye
Therfore good freende welcome to me
I praye you al be good to him And goeth out
