_Your Vnkle carefull of your well doing, T. B._

=These three examples may bee sufficient to serue to anie matter of this title: seeing in eyther of them is required but an alteration of the cause whereupon wee frame our Letter to reioyce vpon: the forme of conueyance is all one. For which we will hence procéed to the next in course being |Obiurgatorie|, or a rebuking of the ill vsages, demeanors or parts of any one. It sauoreth somewhat of the |Monitorie| and |Reprehensorie| kindes before going, but in a different maner: for that the efficacy of those Epistles do beare force in matters publike or notorious, and these in vsages priuate and of lesse importance. The order whereof by the examples following maie be the better perceiued.=

_A Letter Obiurgatorie from a maister to his seruant._

The English Secretary; or, Methode of Writing Epistles and — Part 151

Among some other causes that latelie haue beene aduertized vnto me from my good and louing friends, it is made knowne vnto me, that you in my absence, as well towards your Mistresse, whom in my place I haue appointed ouer you, as among others your fellowe seruants, doe take much vpon you. You runne and goe at your pleasure, wade into vnseemelie courses, and giue your selfe vnto some other matters, neither fitting the trust on you reposed, nor answering vnto my seruice. The newes hereof, you must thinke pleaseth me not verie well, neither can I with patience digest, that a companion of your being, to whom by my sole fauour I haue giuen place of direction in my house, should be so imperious ouer my wife and her due command in mine absence. Your wide wandring & common haunts at your liking, cannot by all coniecture be vnto mine estate profitable. Wherefore in signification that I am nothing well pleased with these so lauish demeanors, if by the next report I hear not that they are better amended, you are shortlie thereupon likelie inough to find how ill contenting they be vnto my humours: with which priuate rebuke, if priuatelie so it may bee considered, being at this present resolued to conclude, I attend the redresse of these euils: and so giue my selfe to my further trauels. From B. this of, &c.

_Your maister to requite you as you shall deserue._

=The force of these Epistles, mingled, as I said before, with the other Titles in the last Chapter declared, may for further matter or other occasions therin required, draw yᵉ plenty of their examples from those |reprehensorie| and |Comminatorie|, kindes alreadie specified, this, for any other like direction being thereunto for this place sufficient. And now the last of these familiar titles ensueth, which is called |Mandatorie|. These Letters haue their titles of such directions, matters in charge, or other instructions, as by writing from one person to another are deliuered, and are the most ordinarie in vsage of all other letters that are amongste vs frequented. The conueyance whereof in these following Examples shall be tendered.=
