| 299 And for as moche as the examynacion is necessarie late vs | |||
| begynne at surgiens & at phisicyens that first speken in this | |||
| mater / 300 I saye yow that þe surgyens & the phisiciens haue said | |||
| yow discretly as them oughte 301 For they saide ful wisely / that | |||
| to the office of hem hit apperteyneth to doo to euery wight ho | |||
| nour & prouffit / & no wight to ennoye 302 And after their craft | |||
| do grete diligence vnto the cure of hem the whiche they haue in | |||
| gouernāce 303 And syre right as they haue answerd wisely & | |||
| discretly / 304 right so I rede yow that they be highly & souereinly | |||
| gwerdoned for her noble speche . 305 And eke for they sholde do | |||
| the more ententyf besynes in the curacion of your doughter . | |||
| 306 For al be it so that they be your frendes Therfore shal ye not | |||
| suffre that they shal serue yow for nought . 307 But ye ought | |||
| to guerdone hem & shewe hem largesse . 308 And as touching | |||
| that the phisicyens encresid in this caas that is to saye 309 that | |||
| in maladies one cōtrarie is warisshid by another cōtrarie 310 I | |||
| wolde fayn knowe how ye vnderstōde that texte & what is your | |||
| sentence / 311 Certes said Mellebeus I vnderstande that in this | |||
| wise / 312 that right as they haue do me a cōtrarious right / right | |||
| so sholde I do hem another . 313 For right as they haue venged | |||
| hem on me & don me wronge / right so shold I venge me on | |||
| hem & do hem wronge 314 & than haue I cured one contrarie by an | |||
| other contrarie / 315 Lo said dame prudence how lightly is euery | |||
| man enclyned to do his owen desire & his owen plaisance / 316 cer | |||
| tes said she the wordes of the phisicyens shold not be vnder- | |||
| stande ī this wise 317 For certes wickednes is not contrario9 to | |||
| wickednes / ne vengeance to vengeance ne wronge to wronge | |||
| 319 but euerych of hem encresid & aggreggith other / 320 But certes | |||
| the wordes of the phisicyens shold be vnderstande in this wise | |||
