I have observed that there was never any good in that word where Bell had a share in 't what was Adam Bell , but a hunter , so was Nimrod , who built that ambitious Tower Babel ; I have heard with mine owne eares , those blads which call themselvs Cavaleroes call a Crosse Bard sword Troy Bel. what is a Bel-man but a night walker ( as I apprehend him ) nay doe not your superstitious papists curse the Bretheren with Bell Booke and Candell ; was not that Cardinall an arch Heretick who had to name Bell Armine ; doe not those persecuting papists in Ireland ReBel , yes double and Tre-Bel ; and I hope there will be such an Equall uniformity amongst us who are the select Brethren that no particular man may be sayd to bare the Bel : nor shall any man hereafter be counted a man the sounder for being Bel-Metle , for Bel was Brasse without and Clay within .

  And it is to be wondered at the many unlicenced licentious Pamphlets that have been scattered about the Kingdome within these 23. months , wherein neither Religion , Church , King , Peeres , Priest , or people have escaped Railing , Libelling , and transcendent traducing , so that it may be supposed , that the paper that hath beene wasted by those pestiferous pamphleteeres , would goe neere ( if it were laid sheet by sheet ) to cover the whole Kingdome ; and this is certaine , that they have drawne many thousands of poore idle people from all parts of England to London , where without serving any Apprentiship , they take a freedom to sell Bookes , so that the Book-sellers are encreased ten fold in number within these two yeares : And what stuffe doe they sell ( for sooth ) things New Lye come forth and things either of no worth , or else Speeches fathered upon men that never knew of them , or Newes out of Scotland or Ireland , made over night in an Ale-house , and printed in the morning Cum privilegio , 1642.

  If you step aside into Coven-Garden , long Acre , and Drury Lune , where those Doves of Venus , those Birds of youth , and beauty , ( the wanton Ladies ) doe build their nests , you shall finde them in such a dump of amazement , to see the hopes of their trading frustrate , their beauties decaied for want of meanes to procure Pomatum , and F●●ous , Their eyes which like glistering comets had wont to dazle their Idolaters , now shadowed with clowds of griefe , their golden tresses which had wont to flag about their shoulders , like so many ensignes in Cupides Regiment , and every haire thereof had a servant or visitant , which did superstitiously dote on it , now for want of curling , and ordering growne to the fashion of an Irish rugge , And what a misery it is to see the Velvets , Sattins , and Taffaties , nay the curious smockes , sent to the brokers , and the whole wardrope that was purchast with so large a proportion of free favours , and communities , now reduc't to one pore tufted holland suit ?

  Iohn Taylor being yet unhanged sends greeting to Iohn Booker that hanged him lately in a picture, in a traiterous, slanderous, and foolish London pamphlet called A cable-rope double-twisted

summary:
  Booker , all the world may perceive the implacability and inveteracy of thy malice for thou canst not be contented , to hang me , but thou persistest so uncharitably towards me as not onely to send me a Rope , but to revile me , with the learned Titles of Rogue , Prick-lowse , Pagan , Metropolitan Villain , and such other pretty Sirnames , which he learned from the Fish-wives scoulding Colledge at Billingsgate , and that he should be loath to fowle his fingers to answer any Pamphlet that comes from Oxford , but that through his sides the honour of a Parliament is wounded : to which I answer , that Parliament at this time is a meer Conventicle , or not the shade of a shadow of what it should be , and thou thy selfe dost manifest the imbecility of it , in that it had no other fortifications but such rotten paper-walls as thy sides to defend it from the shot of a Scholars or a Scullars pen ; Sirtha , I would have thee know , that we at Oxford are true Protestant pen-proofe , and the King , Queen , Princes , Peeres , Clergy , Vniversity , Army , Magistrates , and Commons , are slander-proofe , so that neither your rebellious fighting , or reviling writing , can wound , blemish or sully the Majestique lustre of Royalty , in the Soveraigne , or the obedient expression of duty in the Subject . But thou with thy Consorts , May , Wither , Britannicus , the Scout , the Dove , and all the Rabble of lying and reviling Rebells , cannot so much as scratch or touch my reputation , much lesse can they wound either Aulicus or Naworth , and least of all can they batter with Elder-guns and paper-bullets either majesty or loyalty .

  The vnnaturall father, or, The cruell murther committed by [one] Iohn Rowse of the towne of Ewell, ten m[iles] from London, in the county of Surry, vpon two of his owne children with his prayer and repentance in prison, his arrai[gn]ment and iudgement at the Sessions, and his execution for the said fact at Croydon, on Munday the second of Iuly, 1621.

summary:
  This false friend of his ( as he said ) did perswade him to leaue his Wife for altogether , and did lodge and boord him and his paramore certaine weekes in his house , and afterward caused him and her to be lodged ( hauing chang'd his name ) as Man and Wife in an honest mans house neere Bishopsgate , at Beuis Marks , where they continued so long , till his money was gone , ( as indeede he neuer had much , but now and then small petty summes from his secret friend aforesaid ) and he being fearefull to bee smoak'd out by his Creditors , was counselled to leaue his Country , and depart for Ireland ; and before his going ouer-Sea , his friend wrought so , that all his Land was made ouer in trust to him , and Bonds , Couenants , and Leases made , as fully bought and sold for a summe of two hundred and threescore pounds ; of all which money the said Rowse did take the Sacrament and his death , that hee neuer did receiue one penny , but hee said that now and then he had fiue or ten shillings at a time from his said friend , and neuer aboue twenty shillings , and that all that euer he had of him , being summ'd together , was not aboue three & twenty pounds , the which moneys his friend did pay himselfe out of his Rents . By this mans fall , we may see an example of Gods Iustice against Drunkennes , Whoredome , and Murder ; the Diuel being the first Author , who was a Murtherer from the beginning : who fil'd Cain with Enuy , that hee murdered his brother Abel : who tempted Dauid first to Adultery , and afterwards to Murther ; who prouoked Herod to cause the blessed Seruant of God Iohn Baptist to lose his head , because hee told him it was not lawfull for him to marry his brother Philips Wife ; and who was the prouoker of the aforesaid Herod to murther all the innocent male children in his Kingdome .

Father in God, Henry, Bishop of Chichester ...

summary:
  These and their holy sisters ( for they may wel be linkt together ) are they , who by their unreverent gestures in the Church disesteeme of Church-Prayers ; These are they who contemn the publike service of God , and cry down the Lyturgie of the Church of England ; that solemne Lyturgie , celebrous by the piety of Bishops , and Martyres , hallowed with the blond of some of them who composed it , established by the Lawes of this Land , by severall Acts of Parliament in this Kingdome , attested and approved by the best of all forraigne Divines , confirmed by the subscription of all the Clergie , accepted of by the most and best of all the Laity , and hath continued since in the raignes of Queene Elizabeth , King Iames , and our gracious King Charles , in the Church of England , for the service of God these 90. yeares ; that this holy exercise of Religion should be by them vilified , interrupted , and depraved , what doth it tend to , but the advancing of Heresie , Schisme , Profanenesse , Libertinisme , Anabaptisme , and Atheisme ? We acknowledge , that some parts of our publike Liturgy , may be very well corrected , ( and thankes be to God the great Counsell of the King , and the Kingdome have consulted and determined about it ) but the clamours now go very high : Impudence or Ignorance is at this time grown so frontlesse , that it is confidently expected by many , that all formes of publike worship should be utterly abrogated , and that our booke of Common-Prayer should bee quite abolished , as they would have Episcopacy everlastingly extirpated . Religion it selfe is now crucified , as Christ was between two thieves , viz , Superstition and Irreverence , which is a spice of Atheisme , and of the two extreames is worse peccant in the defect , than in the excesse .

Their speech to God ( or of God ) is most base , To curse or sweare are th' only garbs of grace :

summary:

  A iuniper lecture With the description of all sorts of women, good, and bad: from the modest to the maddest, from the most civil, to the scold rampant, their praise and dispraise compendiously related. Also the authors advice how to tame a shrew, or vexe her.

summary:
  It is better for a man to have a faire Wife , that himselfe and every man else will love , ( provided that shee bee not a scold withall ) or a deformed wife , that would hire others to make much of her ( for foule water will quench fire as well as faire ) or a drunken Wife , that would make much of her selfe , or an old wife , that were bed-rid of her tongue , or a theevish wife , that should steale from himselfe and others , or a proud one , that would waste all his state in fashions , or a liquorish wife , a daily feasthunter , or a lazy wife , like Joane Easie , that lov'd her Bed better than her Distaffe ; or a sluttish wife , that would poyson him , and end all his miseries : I say , it were better for a man to marry with any of all these fore-named wicked kinde of women , than to bee matched and over-matched with a scold , for a scold will be all these , and worse : shee will bee melancholy malicious , and her most study shall bee , to be ill-conditioned : shee will mumpe , hang the Lippe , swell , ( like a Toad that hath laine a yeare under a wood-pile ) pout , loure , be sullen , sad , and doged : she will knit the browes , frowne , be wayward , froward , crosse , and untoward on purpose to torment her husband : her delight is chiefely to make debate abroad , and to be unquiet at home ; in her house she will be waspish , peevish , teasty , tetchy and snappish . You begin the weeke wel , for this day , and no longer , so soone as you were up , and ready , then to the Ale-house to your companions , to some Game or other for your Mornings Draught of strong liquor : when I ( poore wretch ) must sit at home with a cup of small Beere of foure shillings price , and be glad of it too , or else I must drinke water : I dare say , and put a Warrant to it , that I may sit at home long enough before you will send me a cup of good drinke , which you guzle downe , making your selves beasts , and not men ; for a man , if he had or bore any love to his Wife at all , which hath brought him so many Children , would some time remember her , and say , carry this home to my Wife , and remember me to her : but your children and I must bee content with any thing : I would I were dead , that you might have another wife , and then you should see it , shee would not bee made such a foole as I am by you ; I am sure I take no pleasure at all like my other Neighbours Wives , for they can goe abroad with their Husbands every day , but I , ( poore I ) once in a yeare , and glad of it then too .

summary:
  And now of late a Bull 's a Common Creature , For men ( with nonsence ) do speak Bull 's by Nature , From East to West , from North unto the South , Bull 's are produc'd each houre , by Word of Mouth . IT was well knowne to many ancient people to this day , that in the Citie of Gloucester , without the South Gate , in the Parish of Saint Ewins , ( where my selfe was borne ) there dwelt a Schoolemaster , who was called Master Greene , to whom I with many more went to Schoole , for some small learning beyond the Horn-Booke ; This Master Greene did love new milke so well , that because he would be sure to have it new , he would buy a Cowe of his owne , and to that purpose went to the Beast Market , but by the way having met with some friends , and a Cup or two of Sack , it had so wrought in the old mans pate , that when he came to the Beast-market , his eyes so dazled and doated on a faire Bull , that he suppos'd his Cod to be a goodly Cowes Vdder ; so he ( neither naming Cowe or Bull ) demanded the price of the Beast , till at the last the Bull was bought and sold , and driven home to a stable of Master Greenes , who being glad of his good bargaine , told his wife of it ; and when the Evening milking time was come , Master Greene , with his Wife and Maid , went to the Stable , where the Wench kneeling downe to milke , and taking the Bull by the Cod , shee said shee could find ne're a Teate , whereat the man and woman were amaz'd ; and the Bull ( for his owne ease ) instead of milke , pist in the Paile , for the which Master Greene was ever mockt and flouted , and my selfe ( with my Fellow Schollers ) to shew our acute forwardnesse in Rime , and out of the thallownesse of our deepe judgements , composed this poeticall Enco nium .

  Misselanies, or, Fifty years gathering out of sundry authors in prose and verse being the studious readings, painful collections, and some of them are the composings of the writer and publisher heerof / John Taylor.

summary:
  When the Devill had taken all Job's earthly goods , insomuch that to the appearance of men , he had nothing left him but extream poverty , Botches and Scabs ; some may suppose that the Devill was kind in leaving him his Wife , but the subtile Serpent had a further aime then to leave Job's Wife to be a helper or comfort unto him , he saw that all that had been done to his body , or children , or estate , could not make him impatient to blaspheam , and he knew that the Law was that the Blaspheamer was to be stoned to death ; therefore he left his Wife to vex him , and to tempt him to curse God and die , whereby he had not only lost his life by the Law , but also hazzarded his soule to the Devill for his impatiency and blasphemy . In Naturall reason wee may perceive Conscience to be a binding Law , for when a man is about to put in practise any wicked act , eyther of prophanenesse against God , or abuse towards men , presently Conscience forbids it , and commands him to remember that God sees his thoughts and actions , and to have that just precept in his minde , Whatsoever thou wouldst that men should doe unto thee , doe thou the same unto them ; for Conscience is a Law wherein no excuse is to bee admitted , no evasion or illusion , no bribe , cloke , cover or dispensation can make this Evidence mute , for it will declare the Truth , and the whole Truth , without the abatement of a tittle .

summary:
  All which Villanies are so contrary to a cavalier , that a greater disparity is not betwixt Light and Darknesse , or between God and Belial ; and although the blacke mouth'd , venom'd tooth'd Caviller doth dayly seek to sully and blast the name of a Cavalier , by bestowing on them the sweet stinking Epithites and Titles of Damme , renounce , consume , confound , sinke , and the like execrable Blasphemies , which indeed are inexcusable , and inevitably damnable ; yet I must be so plain with the Caviller , as to tell him that Lot's Incest was no excuse for Achan's Theft , Cain's committing Murder was no warrant for Achitophel to give treacherous Counsell , nor was Rabsheka's blasphemy any president for the lying hypocrisie of Ananias and Saphira ; no more are the detestable and damnable Oathes with which the Caviller doth charge and scandall the Cavalier , any presidents to move or maintain lying , dissimulation , cheating , Rebellion , Treason , &c. Nor can I believe the saint seeming Caviller , that the Cavalier hath taken all the prophane swearing from him , for if he will but call his seared , cauterized Conscience to a strict examination , it will tell him , that he hath sworne an Oath of Allegiance to be loyall to his King , which Oath is recorded in Heaven , and the breach of it is to be punished in Hell , of the violation of which Oath the Cavalier is guiltlesse , and the Caviller most damnably guilty . Moreover ( to seasen all the rest ) I must not omit the zeale of a devout Brother , whose name is Francis Beale , ( dwelling in the Axe-yard in Kings Street , Westminster . ) this Beale was sometimes an Ale-house-keeper and Tobacco-man , that with pot and pipe , nicke , froath , puffe , and whiffe , gat a devillish deale of money , by punishing , cheating , and beggering of Drunkards ; then he gave over that kinde of life , and was a Porter to the Lady Kincleavin , since when he is turned Gentleman , and contributary bountifull Rebell ; this Beale hath a son at mans estate , ( a proper honest man ) who left father , mother , Sectarisme and Rebellion , and hath long served in His Majesties Army , ( which his father and mother hold to be Apostasie ) and she good old Gentlewoman , with griefe and sorrow that her son was so undutifull as to be a Protestant , and a good Subject , she caused a Bill to be written to have him prayed for in the Church , which Bill was delivered in Martin's Church neare Chearing-Crosse , to the famous Master Case , the Lecturer there on Thursdayes ; the Forme of the Bill was as followeth .

summary:
  The waies of God are intricate , no doubt Vnsearchable , and passe mans finding out , He at his pleasure worketh wonderous things And in his hand doth hold the hearts of kings , And for the loue , which to our King he beares , THere is no sin that euer the Diuell invented for the abuse of God , and the perdition of man , but the Authors and Actors of it may frame some frivolous or impertinent excuse ; for examples , our first parents in Paradise did disobediently offend , in hope thereby to gaine further knowledge , and to be like God.

Great Brittaines error, and the worlds mirror. By Iohn Taylor.

summary:
  So this terrible shot being discharged ( which in the totall amounted to the sum of sixepence English , ) we departed towards Hamburgh , where by the way I noted some 20. men , women , and children in diuers places of Altonagh , all deformed , some with one eye , some with hare-lips , crooke backt , splay footed , halfe-nozed , or one blemish or other . The Sermon being ended at the English Church , I walked in the afternoone with a friend of mine , ( an Inhabitant of the Towne ) to see and to be seene , where at one of the gates was placed a strong guard of Souldiers with Muskets , Pikes , Halberts , and other warlike accoutrements , I asked the cause , and I was informed it was because of the building of certaine new mounts and Bulwarks , which were partly erected without the old wall : And when I perceiued these fortifications , I was amazed , for it is almost incredible for the number of men and horses that are daily set on worke about it , besides the work it selfe is so great that it is past the credit of Report , and as I suppose will prooue most inexpugnable and inuincible Rampiers to strengthen the Towne on that side against the inuasiue attempts of the greatest Monarke that should assaile them .

  The pennyles pilgrimage, or The money-lesse perambulation, of Iohn Taylor, alias the Kings Majesties water-poet How he trauailed on foot from London to Edenborough in Scotland, not carrying any money to or fro, neither begging, borrowing, or asking meate, drinke or lodging. With his description of his entertainment in all places of his iourney, and a true report of the vnmatchable hunting in the brea of Marre and Badenoch in Scotland. With other obseruations, some serious and worthy of memory, and some merry and not hurtfull to be remembred. Lastly that (which is rare in a trauailer) all is true.

summary:
  I did goe through a Country called Glaneske , where passing by the side of a hill , so steepe as is the ridge of a house , where the way was rocky , and not aboue a yard broad in some places , so fearefull and horrid it was to looke downe into the bottome , for if either horse or man had slipt , he had fallen ( without recouery ) a good mile downe-right ; but I thanke God , at night I came to a lodging in the Lard of Eggells Land , where I lay at an Irish house , the folkes not being able to speake scarce any English , but I sup'd and went to bed , where I had not laine long but I was enforced to rise , I was so stung with Irish Musketaes , a Creature that hath sixe legs , & liues like a monster altogether vpon mans flesh , they doe inhabite and breed in most sluttish houses , and this house was none of the cleanliest , the beast is much like a louse in England , both in shape and nature ; in a word they were to me the A. and the Z. the Prologue and the Epilogue , the first and the last that I had in all my trauells from Edenborough ; and had not this highland Irish house helped mee at a pinch , I should haue sworne that all Scotland had not beene so kind as to haue bestowed a Louse vpon me : but with a shift that I had , I shifted off my Caniballs , and was neuer more troubled with them . REader , these Trauailes of mine into Scotland , were not vndertaken , neither in imitation , or emulation of any man , but onely deuised by my selfe , on purpose to make triall of my friends , both in this Kingdome of England , and that of Scotland , and because I would be an eye witnesse of diuers things which I had heard of that Country ; and whereas many shallow-brain'd Critickes , doe lay an aspersion on me , that I was set on by others , or that I did vndergoe this project , either in malice , or mockage of Maister Beniamin Ionson , I vow by the faith of a Christian , that their imaginations are all wide , for he is a Gentleman , to whom I am so much obliged for many vndeserued courtesies that I haue receiued from him , and from others by his fauour , that I durst neuer to be so impudent or ingratefull , as either to suffer any mans perswasions , or mine owne instigation , to incite me , to make so bad a requitall , for so much goodnesse formerly receiued ; so much for that , and now Reader , if you expect That I should write of Cities scituations , Or that of Countries I should make relations : Of brooks , crooks , nooks ; of riuers , boorns and rills , Of mountaines , fountaines , Castles , Towers & hills , Of Shieres , and Pieres , and memorable things , Of liues and deaths of great commanding Kings : I touch not those , they not belong to mee , But if such things as these you long to see , Lay downe my Booke , and but vouchsafe to reede The learned Camden , or laborious Speede.

  A bavvd A vertuous bawd, a modest bawd: as shee deserves, reproove, or else applaud. Written by John Taylor.

summary:
  For the other part of this Booke , or Bawd , shee is altogether civill or temporall , being not troubled so much as with one good Ecclesiastical word , but merely Paradoxicall ; setting foorth the rare and singular vertues of a Bawd ; wherein if any of my Readers can picke any pleasure , it is on apparant signe they have some wit , and if reape any profit , let them either thanke me in words , or else revvard me with silence . Moreover , shee is not like a ship bound for Groneland , which must saile but in summer , or a pot of ale wth a roast , which is onely in winter : no let the winde blow where it will , her care is such , that it brings her prize & purchase all seasons , her b pinkes are fraughted , her Pinnaces are man'd , her friggors are rig'd ( from the beakhead to the Poope ) and if any of her vessels be boorded by Pyrats , and shot betwixt wind & water , they are so furnished with engines , that they le send them packing with a pox , or else blow them quite up with a Devils name : there is not a poynt in the compasse but the skilfull c Bawd observes , if the wind be North or North-east , she expects profits out of the Low-countries , from Germany , Denmarke , Norway , and sometimes a prize from Scotland ; if at South or S. west , then her hopes are from France ; but Spaine & Italy doe seldome or never faile her ; And let it blow high or low , the Englishman is neere on all occasions .

  A pedlar and a Romish priest in a very hot discourse, full of mirth, truth, wit, folly, and plain-dealing by Iohn Taylor.

summary:
  To draw all backe to that hundred and twentie , Indeed this way should have tongues in plentie , They differ in 12. verses , the Text saies , Besides the time is different full 10. dayes , The first upon the day the Lord ascended , The other when the holy Ghost descended . And so , sir Iohn , to shew you all my packe , And let you see my breast as well as backe ; I wonder yee consider not the end , Why God the Holy Ghost in Tongues did send : Know ye not women are forbidden preaching , Know ye not tongues were onely given for teaching ; Women ( at home ) have hardly leave to speake , But they take leave , and often silence breake ; Their husbands must permit their tongues to walke , And therefore , in Gods House , they may not talke : And then , sir Iohn , what worship doe you win Vnto our Lady , when you bring her in As a Companion with the whole six score , Who gat the Holy Ghost and she no more , And where the Pope hath made her Queen of heaven , You make her here like one of the Eleven , In this , her dignitie doth seeme to fall , You thrust her to the Kitchin from the Hall .
