Seeing therefore that they received so great profit of my Christmas Banquet, I was the gladder to call them now again unto a Potation or drinking, trusting that they shall receive here of no less commodity than they did of the other. They ap pointed to come unto me about two of the clock this after noon. I mer veil therefore that they are so long absent. For the hour is paste. I will go forth out of my doors & see whither ⟨image 9⟩they come or not. But what need it? me think I hear one knock at the door. It are they I am sure. I will go and bring them in. Neigh bours, I have looked long for you, but ye are welcome to me at the last.
