36    6, 32|           hate, yet he cloked the matter with a sorrowfull countenance,
37    6, 32|            And to counterfeit the matter, he would come to Charites
38    6, 32|         and to take advise on the matter. In the meane season, the

50    7, 41|       flower, and dissembling the matter, finely came to her husband
51    7, 41|         wife desirous to know the matter, desired him to tell what
52    7, 41|           the table to colour the matter: in the meant season the
53    7, 41|    sneesed more, he suspected the matter, and willing to know who
54    7, 41|          hee understood the whole matter, he was so inflamed with
55    7, 41|           how I might reveale the matter to my Master, and by kicking
56    7, 41|          that she had some secret matter to tell him, went into a
