_Bo._ I can not well tell what ye meane by that.
_Bea._ And yet the example of this matter is
apparant or sufficiently declared in vs two. Thou
arte called Bonifacius and thou hast in dede the
thynge wherby thou bearest thy name. Yet if there
were no other remedy but eyther thou must lacke
the one or the other, whether had you rather haue
a fowle and deformed face or elles for Boniface be
called Maleface or horner? _Boni._ Beleue me I had
rather be called fowle Thersites then haue a
monstrous or a deformyed face, whether I haue a
good face or no ||I can not tell. _Bea._ And
euen so had I for yf I were ryche and there were
no remedy but that I must eyther forgoo my
rychesse, or my name I had rather be called Irus
whiche was a poore beggers name then lacke my
ryches. _Boni._ I agree to you for asmoch as ye
speake the trouth, and as you thynke. _Bea._ Iudge
all them to be of the same mynde that I am of
whiche are indued with helthe or other commodities
and qualities appartaynynge to the body. _Boni._
That is very trewe. _Bea._ Yea but I praye the
cosyder and marke howe many men we se whiche had
rather haue the name of a lerned and a holy man,
then to be well lerned, vertuous, & holy in dede.
_Boni._ I knowe a good sorte of suche men for my
part. _Bea._ Tell me thy fatasie I pray the do not
suche men passe more vpon the name then the
thinge? _Boni._ Methynke thy do.
