Hillarius. We will give thee as long time as thou wilt. But peradventure you do not understand where Eusebius grief lieth and on which side his shoo wringeth him. I know not whether he hath yet eat or drunk to day. As for me yesterdays journey admonished me to take a little, & to drink a draught of wine before I came: the which thing is the cause, that I am not so much thirsty as I was the day before: although that we have been a long time about the fire. As for Thomas. I believe that he hath been no more evil advised than I, and that he is no less disposed to drink in the morning. Touching Theophilus and Eusebius, I fear very much but that they are yet fasting. For Theophilus is a man very studious and fover, which to eat little & late, insomuch that I do more greatly esteem his sobriety & daily & ordinary abstinence, then the fastings of y• priests & Monks. As for E•sel m•, he is so superstitious that he favoureth •em what Monkish. wherefore I doubt not, but for to make him obedient to y• holy Mother the Romish Church, doth fast, sith that according to the ordinance of the same, it is the day of fast.
