Hawks. I pray you, my lord, what do you give him now that was in the bishopric or benefice before you came again to it? Whereunto he answered me never a word; for he turned his back upon me, and talked with other men, saying that he was very sorry for me, but he trusted that I would turn with St. Paul, because I was so earnest; and so he departed and went to dinner, and I to the porter's lodge again.
Haukes. I pray you, my lord, what do you give him now that was in the bishoprie or benefice before you came again to it? Whereunto he answered me never a word; for he turned his back upon me, and talked with other men, saying that he was very sorry for me, but he trusted that I would turn with St. Paul, because I was so earnest; and so he departed and went to dinner, and I to the porter's lodge again.

So he took me into his chamber, and sat himself down in a chair, and said to me, I would to God I could do you some good you are a young man, and I would not wish you to go too far, but learn of your •lders to bear somewhat.
