>very pleasant for gentlemen to read, and most necessary to remember.

I've never met anyone that actually enjoys reading it for any extended period of time.

Middle English speakers spelled words funny. the “f” making an “s” in the middle of words doesn’t bother me so much as all the needless “e”s

Not late Middle English? Early modern then?

Does wit refer to wit or to we two?

it refers to wit. in this era i think 'wit' had a broader meaning, like knowing your way about the world, being a 'smart operator'.
