Ye Learende of Ye Umbrelle.
; Ye caref ulle manne he taketh ye umbrelle ye first daye and it doth not rayne. Ye eeconde daye he alsoe taketh it, and neither doth it rayne nor snowe. Then he becometh wearye of dragginge ye umbrelle about soe manye dayes for naught, and on ye thirde daye he leaveth it at home. Then surelye after he getteth down town ye rayne descendeth, and be wandereth aboute wette to ye skynne. Ye nexte daye hte surelye notte f orgetteth ye umbrelle, but ib doth not rayne at a\le. Soe he leaveth it in ye corner of ye strange office he hath visited, and ye nexte manne who cometh, perceivinge ye umbrelle lonely and forsaken, taketh it.
