CHAPITRE 3.

DESMOUNDE, being of the steelie resoulve, did goe unto his housse, and he satte upon the great stoole, such that he may pounder the discours of his braine, and to comtemplate the wounders of the univers, houever, beeing a manne of the fleshe, and who had strange impoulses, and who pressed upon the pouch which couered his genitales, which caused him discoumfourt, he did resolue to go unto the young woumone, and to take her unto his bed-chambres, and to lay with her, such that they may know each othere, in the waye of the fleshes, and that was his planne, and he resoulved the planne in his braine several tymes, such that he was well-versed in itte, and he was deteourmented to acte it oute.

And yea, it came to passe, that, in course of the tymes, which pass'd like a wauterfoule, which lay upon the sourface of the watter, and floate'd quitely, and which dygested insects, inside its gutte, and pass'd along its entrales, such that they may be dispos'd of in the watter it self, in the manner of a gentle-manne, yea, in that tyme, Desmonde retourned to the lectourium, such that he may empty his bouels, and also absorb know ledge, symultaneously, and that he may waunder his eyes touard that young girle, that he desyred to lay with, in the manner of mourtals, and it was goode.

Thusly, the time came to retourn to his couttage, in the course of tymes, and yea, the lectour being fynished, Desmonde tooke his booke, and his quille penne, and his inke, and his coumpasse, and his straighte-edge, and his tablettes, and his ledgere, and his furre-coate, and his speare, and his shyld, and his knif, and his leather-shoe, and his whisky, and yea, the aqua vitae, so that he may lay them unto his bagge, and he did so, in the manner most deliberate, and care-full, such that he may coyncide with the leaving of the younge gurle, and he suceded in this endeavour, and he stocked her throughe the fourest, into the road wayes of the villege, and he cought her, and he engaged in words, but he, being a manne of rurale manners, and not a manne of the citie, and who was not edoucated, did not impresse her, and he ran offe, and he found a clearing in the foreste, such that he may lay upon a rocke, and that he baske inside the sunne, and that he slither his toungue, and that he change the coulours of his skinne, and become surrounded in the miasmas of the swampe, and it was goode.
