Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Sir.
IT
may
(
happily
)
seeme
strange
vnto
you
,
that
such
an
army
of
Idle-words
should
march
into
the
open
field
of
the
world
vnder
the
Ensigne
of
your
Name
,
(
you
beeing
not
therewith
made
acquainted
till
now
▪
you
may
iudge
it
in
me
an
Error
,
I
my selfe
confesse
it
a
boldnesse
.
But
such
an
ancient
&
strong
Charter
hath
Custome
confirmed
to
This
Printing
age
of
ours
,
(
by
giuing
men
authoritie
to
make
choice
of
what
Patrons
they
like
,
)
that
some
Writers
do
almost
nothing
contrary
to
the
custome
,
and
some
by
vertue
of
that
Priuiledge
,
dare
doe
any
thing
.
I
am
neither
of
that
first
order
,
nor
of
this
last
.
The
one
is
too
fondly-ceremonious
,
the
other
too
impudently
audacious
I
walk
in
the
midst
(
so
well
as
I
can
)
betweene
both
:
with
some
fruites
that
haue
growne
out
of
my
Bra●
,
haue
I
bin
so
farre
from
being
in
loue
,
that
I
thought
them
not
worthy
to
be
tasted
by
any
particular
friend
&
therefore
haue
they
bin
exposed
only
to
those
that
would
entertain
them
:
neither
did
I
thinke
the
Fairest
that
euer
was
Mine
,
so
worthy
,
that
it
was
to
be
lookd
vpon
with
the
Eye
of
vniuersal
censure
.
Two
sorts
of
mad-men
trouble
the
stationers
shops
in
Paul●
Church-yard
:
they
that
out
of
a
M●e
and
Idle
vaine-glory
will
euer
be
Pamp●ing
(
tho
their
bookes
beeing
printed
are
scarse
worth
so
much
Browne
paper
)
and
this
is
a
very
poore
,
and
foolish
ambition
:
Of
the
other
sort
are
they
that
beeing
free
of
Wits
Mer●hant-venturers
,
do
euery
new
moon
(
for
gaine
onely
)
make
5.

voiages
to
the
Presse
,
and
euery
Term-time
(
vpon

blinde
inuention
:
fellowes
the
(
if
they
do
but
walke
in
the
middle
I
le
)
spit
nothing
but
ynck
,
and
speake
nothing
but
Poeme
.
I
would
keepe
company
with
neither
of
these
two
mad-men
,
if
I
could
auoid
them
,
yet
I
take
the
last
to
be
the
wisest
and
lesse
dangerous
for
sithence
al
the
arrowes
that
men
shoote
in
the
world
,
flye
to
two
marks
only
(
either
pleasure
or
profit
)
he
is
not
much
to
be
cōdemned
that
hauing
no
more
Acres
to
liue
vppon
then
those
that
lie
in
his
head
)
is
euery
houre
hammering
out
one
peice
or
other
out
of
this
rusty
Iron
age
,
sithence
the
golden
and
siluer
Globes
of
the
world
are
so
locked
vp
,
that
a
Scholler
can
hardly
be
suffred
to
behold
them
.
Some
perhaps
wil
say
,
that
this
lancing
of
the
pestilent
fores
of
a
Kingdome
so
openly
,
may
infect
those
in
it
that
are
found
,
and
that
in
this
our
schoole
,
(
where
close
abuses
&
grose
villanies
are
but
discouered
and
not
punished
)
others
that
neuer
before
knew
such
euils
,
wil
be
now
instructed
(
by
the
booke
)
to
practise
them
.
If
so
,
then
let
not
a
traitor
,
or
a
Murderer
be
publikely
arraigned
,
lest
the
one
laying
open
to
the
world
,
how
his
plots
were
wouen
to
contriue
a
treason
,
or
the
other
,
what
pollicies
he
was
armed
with
,
for
the
shedding
of
blood
,
the
standers-by
(
that
are
honest
)
be
drawn
(
by
their
rules
)
to
run
head-long
into
the
same
mischiefe
:
no
,
Our
strong
phisicke
works
otherwise
.
What
more
makes
a
man
to
loath
that
Mongrell
Madnesse
(
that
halfe
English
,
halfe
Dutch
sinne
)
Drunkennesse
:
then
to
see
a
common
Drunkard
acting
his
Scaenes
in
the
open
streete
?
Is
any
Gamester
so
foolish
to
play
with
false
Dice
,
when
he
is
assured
that
al
who
are
about
him
know
him
to
be
a
Sworne
Cheator
?
The
letting
therfore
of
Uice

hath
opend
,
cannot
by

THOMAS
DEKKER
To
my
owne
Nation
.
Readers
,
AFter
it
was
proclaimed
abroad
,
that
(
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Bel-man
of
London
,
)
new
forces
were
(
once
more
,
to
bee
leauied
against
certaine
Wilde
and
Barbarous
Rebells
,
that
were
vp
in
open
armes
against
the
Tranquilitie
of
the
Weale
publique
:
It
cannot
bee
tolde
,
what
numbers
of
voluntaries
offred
themselues
dayly
to
fight
against
so
common
,
so
bolde
,
so
strange
,
and
so
dangerous
an
enemy
.
Light
Horse-men
came
in
hourely
,
with
discouerie
where
these
Mu●ineeres
lay
intrenched
:
deliuering
(
in
briefe
notes
of
intelligence
)
who
were
their
Leaders
,
how
they
went
Armed
,
and
that
they
serued
both
on
Horse
&
Foot
:
only
their
Strengthes
could
not
hee
discryed
,
because
their
Numbers
were
held
infinite
.
Yet
instructions
were
written
and
sent
euerie
minute
by
th●se
that
were
Fauourers
of
Goodnesse
shewing
what
Militarie
Disciplines
the
foe
vsed
in
his
Battailes
,
and
what
Forts
(
if
hee
were
put
at
any
time
to
flight
)
he
wold
retire
to
;
vvhat
stratagems
hee
would
practize
,
and
where
he
did
determine
to
lye
in
Ambuscado
.
They
that
could
not
serue
in
person
in
This
Noble
quarrell
,
sent
their
Auxiliary
Forces
,
well
armed
with
Counsell
.
So
that
the
Bel-man
(
contrarie
to
his
owne
hopes
,
)
seeing
himselfe
so
strongly
and
strangely
seconded
by
friends
doth
now
brauely
aduance
forward
,
in
maine
battalion
.
The
day
of
encounter
is
appointed
to
be
in
this
Michaelmas
Tearme
.
The
place
,
Paules-Churh-yard
,
Fleetestreet
,
and
other
parts
of
the
Ciitie
.
But
before
they
ioyne
,
let
me
giue
you
note
of
one
thing
,
and
that
is
this
.
There
is
an
Vsurper
,
that
of
lat●
hath
taken
vppon
him
the
name
of
the
Bel-man
,
but
being
not
able
to
maintaine
that
Title
,
hee
doth
now
call
himselfe
the
Bel-mans
brother
,
his
ambition
is
(
rather
out
of
vaine
glorie
then
the
true
courage
of
an
Experienced
Soldier
)
to
haue
the
leading
of
the
Van
,
but
it
shall
be
honor
good
enough
for
him
(
if
not
too
good
)
to
tome
vp
with
the
Rere
.
You
shall
know
him
by
his
Habiliments
,
for
(
by
the
furniture
he
weares
)
hee
will
bee
taken
for
a
Beadle
of
Bridewell
.
It
is
thought
he
is
rather
a
Newter
than
a
friend
to
the
cause
:
and
therefore
the
Bel-man
dooth
heere
openly
protest
that
he
comes
into
the
field
as
no
fellowe
in
armes
with
Him.
Howsoeuer
it
be
strucke
,
or
whosoeuer
giues
the
first
blow
,
the
victorie
depends
vpon
the
vallor
of
you
that
are
the
Winges
to
the
Bels-mans
army
,
for
which
conquest
he
is
in
hope
you
will
valiantly
fight
sithence
the
quarrel
is
against
the
head
of
monstrous
abus●
,
and
the
blowes
which
you
must
giue
are
in
defence
of
Law
,
Iustice
,
Order
,
Ceremony
,
Religion
,
Peace
,
and
that
honorable
title
of
Goodnesse
.
Saint
George

I
see

two
Armies
mooue
forward
:
and
beholde
,
the
Bel-man
himselfe

:

Yet

Then

CHAP.
I.
WHen
all
the
World
was
but
one
Kingdome
,
all
the
People
in
that
Kingdome
spake
but
one
language
.
A
man
could
trauell
in
those
dayes
neither
by
Sea
nor
land
,
but
he
mett
his
Country-men
&
none
others
.
Two
could
not
then
stand
gabling
with
strange
tongues
,
and
conspire
together
(
to
his
owne
face
)
how
to
cut
a
third
mans
throat
,
but
he
might
vnderstand
them
.
There
was
no
Spaniard
(
in
that
Age
)
to
Braue
his
enemy
in
the
Rich
and
Lofty
Castilian
:
no
Romaine
Orator
to
plead
in
the
Rethoricall
and
Fluent
Latine
:
no
Italian
to
court
his
Mistris
in
the
swéete
and
Amorous
Thuscane●
no
French-man
to
parley
in
the
full
and
stately
phrase
of
Orleans
:
no
Germaine
to
thunder
out
the
high
and
ratling
Dutch
:
the
vnfruitfull
crabbed
Irish
,
and
the
Uoluble
significant
Welch
,
were
not
then
so
much
as
spoken
of
:
the
quick
Scottish
Dialect
(
sister
to
the
●nglish
)
had
not
then
a
tongue
,
neither
were
the
stringes
of
the
English
spéech
(
in
those
times
)
vntyed
.
When
she
first
learn'd
to
speake
,
it
was
but
a
broken
language
:
the
singlest
and
the
simplest
Words
flowed
from
her
vtterāce
:
for
she
dealt
in
nothing
but
in
Monosillables
,
(
as
if
to
haue
spoken
words
of
greater
length
would
haue
crackt
her
Uoice
)
by
which
meanes
her
Eloquence
was
poorest
,
yet
hardest
to
learne
,
and
so
(
but
for
necessity
)
not
regarded
amōgst
Stran̄gers
.
Yet
afterwards
those
Noblest
Languages
lent
her
Words
and
phrazes
,
and
turning
those
Borrowings
into
Good
husbandry
,
shée
is
now
as
rich
in
Elocution
,
and
as
aboundant
as
her
prowdest
&
Best-stored
Neighbors
.
Whilst
thus
(
as
I
said
before
)
there
was
but
one
Alphabet
of
Letters
,
for
all
the
world
to
Read
by
all
the
people
that
then
liued
,
might
haue
wrought
vpon
one
péece
of
worke
in
countries
farre
distant
a
sunder
,
without
mistaking
one
another
,
and
not
néeding
an
interpreter
to
runne
betwéene
them
.
Which
thing
Nymrod
(
the
first
Idolater
,
)
perceiuing
,
and
not
knowing
better
how
to
imploy
so
many
thousand
Milliōs
of
Subiects
as
bowed
before
him
:
a
fire
of
Ambition
burn'd
within
him
,
to
climbe
vp
so
high
that
hee
might
sée
what
was
done
in
heauen
:
And
for
that
purpose
,
workmen
were
summoned
from
all
the
corners
of
the
Earth
,
who
presētly
were
set
to
Build
the
Tower
of
Babell
.
But
the
Maisterworkemā
of
this
Great
Vniuerse
,
(
to
check
the
Insolēce
of
such
a
Sawcie
builder
)
that
durst
raize
vp
Pynnacles
,
equall
to
his
owne
(
aboue
)
commanded
the
selfe-same
Spirit
that
was
both
bred
in
the
Chaos
and
had
mainteind
it
in
disorder
,
to
bee
both
Surueyor
of
those
workes
and
Comptroller
of
the
Labourers
.
This
Messenger
was
called
Confusion
.
It
was
a
Spirit
swift
of
sight
,
&
faithfull
of
seruice
.
Her
lookes
wilde
,
terrible
and
inconstant
.
Her
attire
,
carelesly
,
loose
,
and
of
a
thousand
seuerall
coulors
.
In
one
hand
shée
grip'd
a
heape
of
stormes
with
which
(
at
her
pleasure
)
she
could
trouble
the
waters
:
In
the
other
she
held
a
whip
,
to
make
three
Spirits
that
drew
her
,
to
gallop
fastes
before
her
:
the
Spirits
names
were
Treason
,
Sedition
&
War
,
who
at
euery
time
w●
they
went
abroad
,
were
ready
to
set
Kingdomes
in
vproare
.
She
roade
vpon
a
Chariot
of
Clownes
,
w●
was
alwayes
furnished
with
Thunder
,
Li●htning
,
Winds
,
Raine
,
Haile-stones
,
Snow
,
&
all
the
other
Artillery
belonging
to
the
seruice
of
Diuine
Vengeance
:
&
when
she
spake
,
her
Voyce
sounded
like
the
roaring
of
many
Torrents
,
boystrously
strugling
together
:
for
betwéene
her
Iawes
did
she
carry
1000000.
Tongues
.
This
strāge
Linguist
,
stepping
to
euery
Artificer
that
was
there
at
worke
,
whispred
in
his
eare
whoses
lookes
were
there
vpon
(
presently
)
〈◊〉
with
a
strange
distraction
:
and
on
a
suddaine
whilst
euery
man
was
speaking
to
his
fellow
,
his
language
altred
and
no
man
could
vnderstand
what
his
fellow
spake
.
They
all
stared
one
vpon
another
,
yet
none
of
them
all
could
tell
wherefore
so
they
stared
Their
Tongues
went
,
and
their
hands
gaue
action
to
their
Tongues
:
yet
neither
words
nor
action
were
vnderstood
.
It
was
a
Noise
of
a
thousand
sounds
,
and
yet
the
sound
of
the
noise
was
nothing
.
Hée
that
spake
,
knew
hée
spake
well
:
and
he
that
heard
,
was
madde
that
the
other
could
speake
no
better
.
In
the
end
they
grew
angry
one
with
another
,
as
thinking
they
had
mocked
one
another
of
purpose
.
So
that
the
Mason
was
ready
to
strike
the
Bricklayer
,
the
Bricklayer
to
beats
out
the
braines
of
his
Labourer
:
the
Carpenter
tooke
vp
his
Axe
to
throw
at
the
Caruer
,
whilst
the
Caruer
was
stabbing
at
the
Smith
,
because
hee
brought
him
a
Hāmer
when
he
should
haue
made
him
a
Chizzell
.
He
that
called
for
Timber
,
had
Stones
laide
before
him
:
&
when
one
was
sent
for
Nailes
,
he
fetcht
a
Tray
of
Mortar
.
Thus
Babell
should
haue
béene
raized
,
and
by
this
meanes
Babell
fell
.
The
Frame
could
not
goe
forward
,
the
staffe
was
throwne
by
,
the
workemen
made
hollyday
.
Euery
one
packd
vp
his
tooles
to
be
gone
,
yet
not
to
goe
the
same
way
that
he
came
but
glad
was
he
,
that
could
méete
another
,
whose
spéech
hee
vnderstood
for
to
what
place
soeuer
he
went
,
others
(
that
ran
madding
vp
and
downe
)
hearing
a
man
speake
like
themselues
,
followed
onely
him
:
so
that
they
who
when
the
worke
began
were
all
countrimen
,
before
a
quarter
of
it
was
finished
,
fled
from
one
another
,
as
from
enemies
&
strāgers
:
And
in
this
maner
did
Men
at
the
first
make
vp
natiōs
:
thus
were
words
coynd
into
Languages
,
&
out
of
those
Languages
haue
others
beene
molded
since
,
onely
by
the
mixture
of
nations
,
after
kingdomes
haue
béen
subdued
.
But
I
am
now
to
speake
of
a
People
&
a
Language
,
of
both
which
(
many
thousands
of
yeares
since
that
Wonder
wrought
at
Babell
)
the
world
till
now
neuer
made
mention
:
yet
confusion
neuer
dwelt
more
amongst
any
Creatures
.
The
Bell-mā
(
in
his
first
Voyage
which
he
made
for
Discoueries
)
found
them
to
bée
sauages
,
yet
liuing
in
an
Iland
very
tēpera●e
,
fruitfull
,
full
of
a
Noble
Nation
,
and
rarely
gouerned
.
The
Lawes
,
Māners
and
habits
of
these
Wild-men
,
are
plainly
set
downe
,
as
it
were
in
a
former
painted
Table
.
Yet
least
happily
a
stranger
may
looke
vpon
this
second
Picture
of
them
,
who
neuerbeheld
The
first
,
it
shall
not
bée
amisse
(
in
this
place
)
to
repeate
ouer
againe
the
Names
of
all
the
Tribes
into
which
they
Diuide
themselues
,
both
when
they
Serue
abroad
in
the
open
fields
,
and
when
they
lye
in
garrison
within
Townes
&
walled
Citties
.
And
these
are
their
Rankes
as
they
stand
in
order
.
viz.
Rufflers
.
Vpright-men
.
Hookers
,
alias
Anglers
,
Roagues
.
Wilde
Roagues
.
Priggers
of
Prancers
.
Paillards
.
Fraters
.
Prigges
.
Swadders
.
Curtalls
.
Irish
Toyles
.
Swigmen
.
Iarkmen
.
Patricoes
.
Kinchin-Coes
.
Abraham-men
,
Mad
Tom
alias
of
Bedlam
Whip-Iackes
.
Counterfet
Crankes
.
Dommerats
.
Glymmerers
.
Bawdy-Baskets
.
Autem
Morts
.
Doxies
.
Dells
.
Kinchin-Morts
.
Into
thus
many
Regiments
are
they
now
deuided
:
but
in
former
times
(
aboue
foure
hundred
yeares
now
past
)
they
did
consist
of
fiue
Squadrons
onely
.
viz.
1
Cur●ors
,
alias
Vagabondes
.
2
Faytors
.
3
Robardsemen
.
4
Draw-latches
.
5
Sturdy
Beggars
.
And
as
these
people
are
strange
both
in
names
and
in
their
conditions
,
so
doe
they
speake
a
Language
(
proper
only
to
thēselues
)
called
canting
,
which
is
more
strange
.
By
none
but
the
souldiers
of
These
tottred
bandes
is
it
familiarly
or
vsually
spoken
,
yet
within
lesse
then
fourescorce
yeares
(
now
past
)
not
a
word
of
this
Lāguage
was
knowen
.
The
first
Inuentor
of
it
,
was
hang'd
,
yet
left
he
apt
schollers
behind
him
,
who
haue
reduced
that
into
Methode
,
which
he
on
his
death-bed
(
which
was
a
paire
of
gallowes
)
could
not
so
absolutely
perfect
as
he
desired
.
It
was
necessary
,
that
a
people
(
so
fast
increasing
,
&
so
daily
practising
new
&
strange
Villanies
,
should
borrow
to
themselues
a
spéech
,
w
e
(
so
neere
as
they
could
(
none
but
themselues
should
vnderstand
:
&
for
that
cause
was
this
Language
,
(
which
some
call
Pedlers
Frēch
,
)
Inuēted
,
to
th'
intent
that
(
albeit
any
Spies
should
secretly
steale
into
their
cōpanies
to
discouer
th●
)
they
might
fréely
vtter
their
mindes
one
to
another
,
yet
auoide
the
dāger
.
The
Language
therefore
of
canting
,
they
study
euen
from
their
Infancy
,
that
is
to
say
,
from
the
very
first
houre
,
that
they
take
vpon
them
the
names
of
Kinchin
Coes
,
tillthey
are
grown
Rufflers
,
or
Vpright-men
,
which
are
the
highest
in
degrée
amongst
them
.
This
word
canting
séemes
to
bee
deriued
from
the
latine
verbe
(
canto
)
which
signifies
in
English
,
to
sing
,
or
to
make
a
sound
with
words
,
that
's
to
say
to
speake
.
And
very
aptly
may
canting
take
his
deriuatiō
a
cantando
,
from
singing
,
because
amongst
these
beggerly
consorts
that
can
play
vpon
no
better
instruments
,
the
language
of
canting
is
a
k●de
of
musicke
,
and
he
that
in
such
assemblies
can
c●nt
best
,
is
counted
the
best
Musitian
.
Now
as
touching
the
Dialect
or
phrase
it selfe
,
I
sée
not
that
it
is
grounded
vpon
any
certaine
rules
;
And
no
meruaile
if
it
haue
none
,
for
sithence
both
the
Father
of
this
new
kinde
of
Learning
,
and
the
children
that
study
to
speake
it
after
him
,
haue
beene
from
the
beginning
and
stil
are
,
the
Breeders
and
Norishers
of
albase
disorder
,
in
their
liuing
and
in
their
Manners
:
how
is
it
possible
,
they
should
obserue
any
Method
in
their
speech
,
and
especialy
in
such
a
Language
,
as
serues
but
onely
to
vtter
discourses
of
villanies
?
And
yet
(
euen
out
of
all
that
Irregularity
,
vnhansomnesse
,
&
Fountaine
of
Barbarisme
)
do
they
draw
a
kinde
of
forme
:
and
in
some
wordes
,
(
aswell
simple
as
compounds
)
retaine
a
certaine
salte
,
tasting
of
some
wit
and
some
Learning
.
As
for
example
,
they
call
a
cloake
(
in
the
canting
tongue
)
a
Togeman
,
and
in
Latin
,
Toga
signifies
a
gowne
,
or
an
vpper
garment
.
Pannam
is
bread
:
&
Panis
in
Lattin
is
likewise
bread
,
cassan
is
cheese
,
and
is
a
worde
barbarously
coynd
out
of
the
substātiue
caseus
which
also
signifies
chéese
.
And
so
of
others
.
Then
by
ioyning
of
two
simples
,
doe
they
make
almost
all
their
compounds
.
As
for
example
:
Nab
(
in
the
canting
tongue
)
is
a
head
,
&
Nab-cheate
,
is
a
hat
or
a
cap
,
Which
word
cheate
beeing
coupled
to
other
wordes
,
stands
in
verry
good
stead
,
and
dees
excellent
seruice
:
For
a
Smelling
cheate
,
signifies
a
Nose
:
a
Prat-ling
chete
,
is
a
tongue
.
Crashing
chetes
,
are
teeth
:
Hearing
chetes
are
Eares
:
Fambles
are
Hands
:
and
therevpon
a
ring
is
called
a
Fābling
chete
.
A
Muffling
chete
,
signifies
a
Napkin
.
A
Belly
chete
,
an
Apron
▪
A
Grunting
chete
,
A
Pig
:
A
Cackling
Chete
,
a
Cocke
or
a
Capon
:
A
Quacking
chete
,
a
duck
:
A
Lowghing
chete
,
a
Cow
:
A
Bleating
chete
,
a
Calfe
,
or
a
Shee●e
:
and
so
may
that
word
be
marryed
to
many
others
besides
.
The
word
Coue
,
or
Cofe
,
or
Cuffin
,
signifies
a
Man
,
a
Fellow
,
&c.
But
differs
something
in
his
propertie
,
according
as
it
meetes
with
other
wordes
:
For
a
Gen
,
tleman
is
called
a
Gentry
Coue
,
or
Cofe
:
A
good
fellow
is
a
Bene
Cofe
:
a
Churle
is
called
,
a
Quier
Cuffin
;
Quier
signifies
naught
,
and
Cuffin
(
as
I
said
before
)
a
man
:
and
in
Canting
they
terme
a
Iustice
of
peace
,
(
because
he
punisheth
them
belike
)
by
no
other
name
then
by
Quier
cuffin
,
that
is
to
say
a
Churle
,
or
a
naughty
man.
And
so
,
Ken
signifiing
a
house
,
they
call
a
prison
,
a
Quier
ken
,
that
's
to
say
,
an
ill
house
.
Many
peeces
of
this
strange
coyne
could
I
shew
you
,
but
by
these
small
stampes
,
you
may
iudge
of
the
greater
.
Now
because
,
a
Language
is
nothing
els
then
heapes
of
wordes
,
orderly
wouen
and
composed
together
:
and
that
(
within
so
narrow
a
circle
as
I
haue
drawne
to
my selfe
)
it
is
impossible
to
imprint
a
Dictionarie
of
all
the
Canting
phrases
:
I
wil
at
this
time
not
make
you
surfet
on
too
much
,
but
as
if
you
were
walking
in
a
Garden
,
you
shall
openly
pluck
here
a
flower
,
and
there
another
,
which
(
as
I
take
it
)
will
be
more
delightfull
then
if
you
gathered
them
by
handfulls
.
But
before
I
lead
you
into
that
walke
,
stay
and
heare
a
Canter
in
his
owne
language
,
making
〈◊〉
,
albeit
(
I
thinke
)
those
charmes
of
Poesie
which
(
at
the
first
)
made
the
barbarous
tame
,
and
brought
them
to
ciuil●y
,
can
(
vpon
these
sauage
Monsters
)
worke
no
such
wonder
.
Yet
thus
he
singes
(
vppon
demaund
whether
any
of
his
own
crue
did
come
that
way
)
to
which
he
answers
,
yes

This
short
Lesson
I
leaue
to
be
construed
by
him
that
is
desirous
to
try
his
skill
in
the
language
,
which
he
may
do
by
helpe
of
the
following
Dictionary
;
into
which
way
that
he
may
more
redily
come
,
I
will
translate
into
English
,
this
broken
French
that
followes
in
Prose
.
Two
Canters
hauing
wrangled
a
while
about
some
idle
quarrell
,
at
length
growing
friends
,
thus
one
of
them
speakes
to
the
other
.
viz.
A
Canter
in

.
STowe
you
beene
Cofe
:
and

we
will

,
off

Ruffmans
,
or
mill

for

Thus
in
English
Stowe
you
,
beene

:
hold

And
cut

:

And

to

and
goe
we
to

To

:
to

So
shall
we
haue
lowre
:
so

we

mony
.
For
the
bowsing

,
for
the
Ale-house

And
when

and
when

.
We

Off

Or

:
or

,
For
a

Now

CHAP.

IT
was
Terme-time
in
hel
(
for
you
must
vnderstand
,
a
Lawyer
liues
there
aswell
as
heere
:
)
by
which
meanes
don
Lucifer
(
being
the
iustice
for
that
Countie
,
where
the
Brimstone
mines
are
)
had
better
dooings
and
more
rapping
at
his
gates
,
then
all
the
Doctors
&
Empericall
Quack-saluers
of
ten
citties
haue
at
theirs
in
a
great
plague-time
.
The
hal
where
these
Termers
were
to
try
their
causes
,
was
very
large
and
strongly
built
,
but
it
had
one
fault
:
it
was
so
hot
that
people
could
not
indure
to
walk
there
:
Yet
to
walke
there
they
were
compelled
,
by
reason
they
were
drawne
thither
vppon
occasions
,
and
such
iustling
there
was
of
one
another
,
that
it
would
haue
grieued
any
man
to
be
in
the
thronges
amongst
em
.
Nothing
could
bee
heard
but
noise
,
and
nothing
of
that
noise
be
vnderstood
,
but
that
it
was
a
sound
as
of
men
in
a
kingdome
,
when
on
a
suddaine
it
is
in
an
vprore
.
Euery
one
brabled
with
him
that
he
walked
with
,
or
if
he
did
but
tell
his
tale
to
his
Councell
,
he
was
so
eager
in
the
verry
deliuery
of
that
tale
,
that
you
would
haue
sworne
he
did
brabble
:
and
such
gnashing
of
teeth
there
was
when
aduersaries
met
together
,
that
the
fyling
of
ten
thousand
Sawes
cannot
yeeld
a
sound
more
horrible
.
The
Iudge
of
the
Court
had
a
diuelish
countenance
,
and
as
cruell
hee
was
in
punishing
those
that
were
condemned
by
Lawe
,
as
hée
was
crabbed
in
his
lookes
,
whilst
he
sat
to
heare
their
tryals
.
But
albeit
there
was
no
pittie
to
be
expected
at
his
hands
,
yet
was
he
so
vpright
in
iustice
,
that
none
could
euer
fasten
bribe
vppon
him
,
for
he
was
ready
and
willing
to
heare
the
cries
of
all
commers
.
Neither
durst
any
Pleader
(
at
the
infernall
Barre
)
or
any
officer
of
the
Court
,
exact
any
Fee
of
Plaintiffes
,
and
such
as
complained
of
wrongs
and
were
opprest
:
but
onely
they
paide
that
were
the
wrong
dooers
,
those
would
they
sée
dambd
ere
they
should
gette
out
of
their
fingers
,
such
fellowes
they
were
appointed
to
vexe
at
the
very
soule
.
The
matters
that
here
were
put
in
sute
,
were
more
then
could
bee
bred
in
twentie
Uacations
,
yet
should
a
man
be
dispatched
out
of
hand
.
In
one
Terme
he
had
his
Iudgement
,
for
heare
they
neuer
stand
vppon
Returnes
,
but
presently
come
to
Triall
.
The
causes
decided
here
are
many
;
the
Clients
that
complaine
many
;
the
Counsellors
(
that
plead
till
they
be
hoarse
,
)
many
;
the
Attornies
(
that
runne
vp
and
downe
,
)
infinite
;
the
Clarkes
of
the
Court
,
not
to
be
numbred
.
All
these
haue
their
hands
full
;
day
and
night
are
they
so
plagued
with
the
bawling
of
Clients
that
they
neuer
can
rest
.
The
Inck
where-with
they
write
,
is
the
blood
of
Coniurers
:
they
haue
no
Paper
,
but
all
thinges
are
engrossed
in
Parchment
,
and
that
Parchment
is
made
of
Scriueners
skinnes
flead
off
,
after
they
haue
beene
puni●ed
for
Forgerie
:
their
Standishes
are
the
Scu●s
of
Usurers
:
their
Pennes
,
the
bones
of
vnconscionable
Brokers
,
and
hard-hearted
Creditors
,
that
haue
made
dice
of
other
mens
bones
,
or
else
of
periured
Excecutors
and
blind
Ouer-séeers
,
that
haue
eaten
vp
Widdowes
and
Orphanes
to
the
bare
bones
:
and
those
Pennes
are
made
of
purpose
without
Nebs
,
because
they
,
may
cast
Inck
but
slowly
,
in
mockery
of
those
who
in
their
life
time
were
slowe
in
yeelding
drops
of
pitty
.

in

belonging

Prince
of
Darknesse
.
These
hot
dooings
hath
he
in
his
Terme-times
.
But
vpon
a
day
when
a
great
matter
was
to
be
tryed
betweene
an
Englishman
and
a
Dutchman
,
which
of
the
two
were
the
fowlest
Drinkers
,
and
the
case
being
a
long
time
in
arguing
,
by
reason
that
strong
euidence
came
in
re●ling
on
both
sides
,
(
yet
it
was
thought
that
the
English-man
would
carry
it
away
,
and
cast
the
Dutchman
)
on
a
sudden
all
was
staid
by
the
sound
of
a
horne
that
was
heard
at
the
lower
end
of
the
Hall.
And
euerie
one
looking
back
(
as
wondring
at
the
strangenesse
)
too
me
room
was
cride
and
made
through
the
thickest
of
the
crowde
,
for
a
certaine
spirit
in
the
likenesse
of
a
post
who
made
away
on
a
little
leane
Nagge
by
to
the
Bench
where
Iudge
Rad
amanth
with
his
two
grim
Brothers
(
Minos
and
Aeacus
)
sat
.
This
spirit
was
an
intelligencer
sent
by
Belzebub
of
Batharum
into
some
Countries
of
Christēdome
,
to
lye
there
as
a
spie
,
●had
brought
with
him
a
packet
of
letters
from
seuerall
Leigiars
,
that
lay
in
those
Countries
,
for
the
seruice
of
the
Tartarian
their
Lord
and
Maister
,
which
packet
being
opened
,
all
the
Letters
,
(
because
they
concernd
the
generall
good
and
state
of
those
lowe
Countries
in
Hell
)
were
publikely
reade
.
The
contents
of
that
Letter
stung
most
,
and
put
them
all
out
of
their
law-cases
,
were
to
this
purpose
.
THat
whereas
the
Lord
of
Fiery
Lakes
,
had
his
Ministers
in
all
kingdomes
aboue
the
earth
,
whose
Offices
were
not
onely
to
winne
subiects
of
other
Princes
to
his
obedience
,
but
also
to
giue
notice
when
any
of
his
owne
sworn
houshold
,
or
any
other
that
held
league
with
him
should
reuolt
or
flye
from
their
duty
&
allegiance
:
as
also
discouer
from
time
to
time
all
plots
,
conspiracies
,
machinations
,
or
vnderminings
,
that
skold
be
laid
(
albeit
they
that
durst
lay
them
should
dig
deepe
enough
)
to
blow
vp
his
great
Internall
cittie
:
so
that
if
his
Horned
Regiment
were
not
suddenly
mustred
together
,
and
did
not
lustely
bestirre
their
clouen
stumps
,
his
Territories
weld
be
shaken
,
his
dominions
left
in
time
vnpeopl'd
,
his
forces
look'd
into
,
and
his
authoritie
which
hee
held
in
the
world
,
contemned
&
laughed
to
scorne
.
The
reason
was
,
that
a
certaine
fellow
.
The
Childe
of
Darkenes
,
a
common
Night-walker
,
a
man
that
had
no
man
to
waite
vppon
him
but
onely
a
Dog
,
one
that
was
a
disordered
person
,
and
at
midnight
would
beate
at
mens
doores
,
bidding
them
(
in
meere
mockerie
)
to
look
to
their
candles
when
they
themselues
were
in
their
dead
sleeps
:
and
albeit
he
was
an
Officer
,
yet
he
was
but
of
Light-carriage
,
being
knowne
by
the
name
of
the
Bell-man
of
London
,
had
of
late
not
only
drawne
a
number
of
the
Deuils
owne
kindred
into
question
for
their
liues
,
but
had
also
(
only
by
the
help
of
the
lanthorn
&
candle
)
lookt
into
the
secrets
of
the
best
trades
that
are
taught
in
hell
,
laying
them
open
to
the
broad
eye
of
the
world
,
making
them
infamous
,
edious
,
and
ridiculous
:
yea
,
and
not
satisfied
with
dooing
this
wrong
to
his
diuellship
,
very
spitefullye
hath
hee
set
them
out
in
print
,
drawing
their
pictures
so
to
the
life
,
that
now
a
horse-stealet
shall
not
shew
his
head
,
but
a
balter
with
the
Hang-mans
noose
is
ready
to
bee
fastned
about
it
:
A
Foyst
nor
a
Nip
shall
not
walke
into
a
Fayre
or
a
Play-house
,
but
euerie
cracke
will
cry
looke
to
your
purses
:
nor
a
poore
common
Rogue
come
to
a
mans
doore
,
but
he
shall
be
examined
if
he
can
cant
?
If
this
Baulling
fellow
therefore
haue
not
his
mouth
stop'd
,
the
light
Angels
that
are
coynd
below
,
will
neuer
bee
able
to
passe
as
they
haue
done
,
but
be
naild
vp
for
counterfeits
,
Hell
will
haue
no
dooings
,
and
the
deuill
be
no-body
.
This
was
the
lyning
of
the
Letter
,
and
this
Letter
draue
them
al
to
a
Non-plus
,
because
they
knew
not
how
to
answere
it
.
But
at
last
aduice
was
taken
,
the
Court
brake
vp
,
the
Tearme
was
adiourn'd
,
(
by
reason
that
the
Hell-houndes
were
thus
Plagu'd
)
and
a
common
counsell
in
hell
was
presētly
called
how
to
redres
these
abuses
.
The
Sathanicall
Sinagogue
beeing
set
,
vp
startes
the
Father
of
Hell
and
damnation
,
and
looking
verrie
terribly
with
a
paire
of
eies
that
stared
as
wide
as
the
mouth
gapes
at
Bishops-gate
,
fetching
foure
or
fiue
deep
sighes
(
which
were
nothing
else
but
the
Smoke
of
fire
&
brimstone
boyling
in
his
stomacke
,
and
shewed
as
if
hee
were
taking
tobacco
,
which
be
often
times
does
)
tolde
his
children
&
seruāts
(
&
the
rest
of
the
citizens
that
dwelt
wichin
the
freedome
of
Hel
,
and
sat
there
before
him
vpon
narow
low
formes
)
that
they
neuer
had
more
cause
to
lay
their
heads
together
,
and
to
grow
pollititians
.
Hee
and
they
all
knew
,
that
from
the
Corners
of
the
earth
,
some
did
euerie
houre
in
a
day
creepe
forth
,
to
come
and
serue
him
:
yea
,
that
many
thousands
were
so
be
witched
with
his
fauours
,
and
his
rare
partes
,
that
they
would
come
running
quick
to
him
,
his
dominions
(
he
said
)
were
great
and
full
of
people
:
Emperors
and
Kings
,
(
in
infinit
numbers
)
were
his
slaues
:
his
court
was
ful
of
Princes
:
if
the
world
were
deuided
(
as
some
report
)
but
into
three
parts
two
of
those
three
were
his
:
or
if
(
as
others
affirme
)
into
foure
parts
,
almost
three
of
that
foure
had
hee
firme
footing
.
But
if
such
a
fellow
as
a
treble
voic'd
Bel-man
,
should
be
suffered
to
pry
into
the
infernal
Misteries
,
&
into
those
Black
Acts
which
command
the
spirits
of
the
Déep
,
&
hauing
sucked
what
knowledge
he
can
from
them
,
to
turne
it
al
into
poison
,
&
to
spit
it
in
the
verie
faces
of
the
professors
,
with
a
malicious
intent
to
make
them
appeare
vgly
and
so
to
grow
hatefull
and
out
of
fauor
with
the
world
:
if
such
a
coniurer
at
midnight
should
dance
in
their
circles
and
not
be
driuen
out
of
them
,
hell
in
a
few
yeares
would
not
bee
worth
the
dwelling
in
.
The
great
Lord
of
Limbo
did
therefore
commaund
all
his
Blacke
Guard
that
stood
about
him
,
to
bestirre
them
in
their
places
,
and
to
defend
the
Court
wherein
they
liued
:
threatning
(
besides
)
that
his
cursse
,
&
all
the
plagues
of
stinking
hel
shold
fall
vpon
his
officers
,
seruants
,
and
subiects
,
vnlesse
they
either
aduiz'd
him
,
how
,
or
take
some
speedy
order
themselues
to
punish
that
saucy
intelligencer
,
the
Bel-man
of
London
.
Thus
he
spake
and
then
sat
.
At
last
,
a
foolish
Deuill
rose
vp
,
and
shot
the
bolt
of
his
aduice
,
which
flew
thus
farre
,
That
the
Blacke-dogge
of
New-gate
should
againe
bee
let
loose
,
and
a
farre
off
,
follow
the
Balling
Bel-man
,
to
watch
into
what
plac●s
hee
went
,
and
what
deedes
of
darkenesse
(
euerie
night
)
hee
did
.
Hinc
risus
!
The
whole
Syniodicall
assembly
,
fell
a
laughing
at
this
Wise-acre
,
so
that
neither
he
nor
his
blacke-Dogge
durst
barke
any
more
.
Another
,
thinking
to
cleaue
the
verrie
pinne
with
his
arrow
,
drew
it
home
to
the
head
of
Wisdome
(
as
he
imaginde
)
and
yet
that
lighted
wide
too
,
But
thus
shot
his
Counsell
,
that
the
Ghosts
of
all
those
theeues
,
Cheaters
,
and
others
of
the
damned
crew
,
(
who
by
the
Bel-mans
discouerie
,
had
bene
betraied
,
were
taken
and
sent
westward
)
should
bee
fetched
from
those
fields
of
Horror
,
where
euerie
night
they
walke
,
disputing
with
Doctor
Story
,
who
keepes
them
company
there
in
his
corner
Cap
:
&
that
those
wry-neck'd
spirits
should
haue
charge
giuen
them
to
haunt
the
Bel-man
in
his
walkes
,
and
so
fright
him
out
of
his
wittes
.
This
Deuill
for
all
his
roaring
,
went
away
neither
with
a
Plaudite
,
nor
with
a
hisse
:
Others
step'd
vp
,
some
pronouncing
one
verdict
some
another
:
But
at
the
last
,
it
beeing
put
into
their
Diuelish
heads
,
that
they
had
no
power
ouer
him
farther
then
what
shold
be
giueu
vnto
them
,
it
was
concluded
and
set
downe
as
a
rule
in
Court
,
that
some
one
strange
spirit
,
〈◊〉
could
transport
himselfe
into
all
shapes
,
should
bee
sent
vppe
to
London
,
and
scorning
to
take
reuenge
vppon
so
meane
a
person
as
a
Bel-ringer
,
should
thrust
himselfe
into
such
companyes
,
(
as
in
a
warrant
to
bee
signed
for
that
purpose
)
should
bee
nominated
:
and
beeing
once
growne
familiar
with
them
,
hee
was
to
worke
and
winne
them
by
all
possible
meanes
to
fight
vnder
the
dismall
and
blacke
collours
of
the
Grand
Sophy
,
(
his
Lord
and
Master
:
)
the
fruite
that
was
to
grow
vppon
this
tree
of
euill
,
would
bee
greate
,
for
it
should
bee
fit
to
bee
serued
vp
to
Don
Lucifers
Table
,
as
a
new
banqueting
Dish
,
sithence
all
his
other
meates

(
though
they
fatted
him
well
)
were
grown
stale
Hereupon
Pamersiell
the
Messenger

called

a

was
drawne

signed

deliuered
to

with
certaine
instruments
how
to

m●ch

openly

No

THe
Diuels
foote-man
was
very
nimble
of
his
héeles
(
for
no
wilde-Irish
man
could
out-runne
him
,
and
therefore
in
a
few
houres
,
was
he
come
vp
to
London
:
the
miles
betweene
Hell
and
any
place
vpon
earth
being
shorter
then
those
betweene
London
and
Saint
Albones
,
to
any
man
that
trauels
from
thence
thither
,
or
to
any
Lackey
that
comes
from
hence
hether
on
the
Deuils
errands
:
but
to
any
other
poore
soule
,
that
dwells
in
those
low
contries
,
they
are
neuer
at
an
end
,
and
by
him
are
not
possible
to
bee
measured
.
No
sooner
was
he
entred
into
the
Cittie
,
but
hee
met
with
one
of
his
Maisters
daughters
called
Pride
,
drest
like
a
Matchants
wife
,
who
taking
acquaintance
of
him
,
and
vnderstanding
for
what
hee
came
,
tolde
him
,
that
the
first
thing
hee
was
to
doe
,
hee
must
put
himselfe
in
good
cloathes
,
such
as
were
sutable
to
the
fashion
of
the
time
,
for
that
here
,
men
were
look'd
vppon
onely
for
their
outsides
:
he
that
had
not
ten-pounds-worth
of
wares
in
his
shop
,
would
carry
twentie
markes
on
his
back
:
that
there
were
a
number
of
sumpter-borses
in
the
citty
,
who
cared
not
how
coursely
they
fed
,
so
they
might
were
gay
trappings
:
pea
,
that
some
pied
fooles
,
to
put
on
satin
and
veluet
but
foure
daies
in
the
yeare
did
often-times
vndoe
themselues
,
wiues
and
Children
euer
after
.
The
spirit
of
the
Deuils
Buttry
hearing
this
,
made
a
legge
to
Pride
for
her
counsell
,
and
knowing
by
his
owne
experience
that
euerie
Taylor
hath
his
bell
to
himselfe
,
vnder
his
Shop-board
,
(
where
he
dammes
new
Sattin
)
amongst
them
he
thought
to
finde
best
welcome
,
and
therefore
into
Burchin-lane
hee
stalkes
verie
mannerly
,
Pride
going
along
with
him
,
and
taking
the
vpper
hand
.
No
sooner
was
he
entred
into
the
rankes
of
the
Linnen
Armorers
,
(
whose
weapons
are
Spanish
needles
)
but
he
was
most
terribly
and
sharpely
set
vppon
euerie
:
prentice
boy
had
a
pull
at
him
:
he
feared
they
all
had
bin
Serieants
,
because
they
all
had
him
by
the
back
:
neuer
was
poore
deuil
so
tormented
in
hell
,
as
he
was
amongst
them
:
he
thought
it
had
bene
Saint
Thomas
his
day
,
&
that
he
had
bene
called
vpon
to
be
Constable
:
there
was
such
balling
in
his
eares
:
and
no
strength
could
shake
them
off
,
but
that
they
must
shews
him
some
suites
of
apparell
,
because
they
saw
what
Gentlewoman
was
in
his
company
(
whom
they
all
knew
)
Seeing
no
remedie
,
into
a
shop
he
goes
,
was
fitted
brauely
,
and
beating
the
price
,
found
the
lowest
to
be
vnreasonable
,
yet
paide
it
,
and
departed
,
none
of
them
(
by
reason
of
their
crowding
about
him
befor
)
perceiuing
what
customer
they
had
met
with
,
but
now
the
Taylor
spying
the
deuill
,
suffered
him
to
go
,
neuer
praying
that
he
wold
know
the
shop
another
time
,
but
looking
round
about
his
ware-house
if
nothing
were
missing
,
at
length
he
found
that
he
had
lost
his
cōscience
:
yet
remembring
himselfe
,
that
they
who
deale
with
the
diuel
,
can
hardly
keepe
it
,
he
stood
vpon
it
the
lesse
.
The
fashions
of
an
Ordinarie
.
THe
Stigian
traueller
beeing
thus
translated
into
an
accomplish'd
gallant
,
with
all
acoutrements
belonging
(
as
a
fether
for
his
head
,
gilt
rapier
for
his
sides
,
&
new
boots
to
hide
his
polt
foote
(
for
in
Bed-lam
bee
met
with
a
shoemaker
,
a
mad
slaue
,
that
knew
the
length
of
his
last
)
it
rested
,
onely
that
now
he
was
to
enter
vppon
company
sutable
to
his
cloathes
:
and
knowing
that
your
most
selected
Gallants
are
the
onelye
table-men
that
are
plaid
with
al
at
Ordinaries
,
into
an
Ordinary
did
he
most
gentleman
like
,
conuay
himselfe
in
state
.
It
seemed
that
al
who
came
thether
,
had
clocks
in
their
bellies
,
for
they
all
struck
into
the
dyning
roome
much
a-about
the
very
minute
of
feeding
.
Our
Caualier
had
all
the
eyes
(
that
came
in
(
throwne
vpon
him
,
(
as
beeing
a
stranger●
for
no
Ambassador
from
the
diuell
euer
dined
amongst
them
before
,
)
and
he
asmuch
tooke
especiall
notes
of
them
.
In
obseruing
of
whom
and
of
the
place
he
found
,
that
an
Ordinary
was
the
only
Rendeuouz
for
the
most
ingenious
,
most
terse
,
most
trauaild
,
and
most
phantastick
gallant
:
the
very
Exchange
for
newes
out
of
al
countries
:
the
only
Booke-sellers
shop
for
conference
of
the
best
Editions
,
that
if
a
womā
(
to
be
a
Lady
(
would
cast
away
herself
vpon
a
knight
,
there
a
man
should
heare
a
Catalogue
of
most
of
the
richest
London
widowes
:
〈◊〉
last
,
that
it
was
a
schoole
where
they
were
all
fellowes
of
one
Forme
,
&
that
a
country
gentleman
was
of
as
great
comming
as
the
proudest
Iustice
that
sat
there
on
the
bench
aboue
him
:
for
he
that
had
the
graine
of
the
table
with
his
trencher
,
payd
no
more
then
he
that
plac'd
himself
beneath
the
salt
.
The
diuers
intelligencer
could
not
be
contented
to
fill
his
eye
onely
with
these
obiects
,
and
to
féed
his
belly
with
delicate
chéere
:
But
hée
drew
a
larger
picture
of
all
that
were
there
,
and
in
these
collours
.
The
vcider
hauing
cléered
the
table
;
Cardes
&
Dice
(
for
the
last
Messe
)
are
serued
vp
to
the
boord
:
they
that
are
ful
of
coyne
,
draw
:
they
that
haue
little
,
stand
by
&
giue
ayme
:
they
shuffle
and
cut
on
one
side
:
the
bones
rattle
on
the
other
:
long
haue
they
not
plaide
,
but
others
fly
vp
&
down
the
roome
like
haile-shot
:
if
the
poore
dumb
dice
be
but
a
little
out
of
square
,
the
pox
&
a
thousand
●plagues
breake
their
neckes
out
at
window
:
presently
after
,
the
foure
knaues
are
sent
packing
the
same
way
,
or
els
(
like
heretikes
are
)
condemned
to
be
burnt
.
In
this
battaile
of
Cardes
and
Dice
,
are
seuerall
Regiments
&
seuerall
Officiers
.
They
that
sit
downe
to
play
,
are
at
first
cald
Leaders
.
They
that
loose
,
are
the
Forlorne
Hope
.
He
that
winnes
all
,
is
the
Eagle
.
He
that
stands
by
&
Uentures
,
is
the
Wod-pecker
.
The
fresh
Gallant
that
is
fetcht
in
is
The
Gull
,
H●
that
stands
by
,
and
lends
,
is
the
Gull-groper
.
The
Gull-groper
.
THis
Gul-groper
is
commonly
an
old
Mony-mōger
,
who
hauing
trauaild
through
all
the
follyes
of
the
world
in
his
youth
,
knowes
them
well
,
and
shunnes
them
in
his
age
,
his
whole
felicitie
being
to
fill
his
bags
with
golde
and
siluer
:
hee
comes
to
an
Ordinary
,
to
saue
charges
of
house-keeping
,
and
will
eate
for
his
two
shillings
,
more
meate
then
will
serue
thrée
of
the
guard
at
a
dinner
,
yet
sweares
hée
comes
thether
onely
for
the
company
,
and
to
conuerse
with
trauailers
.
It
s
a
Gold-Finch
that
fildome
flies
to
these
Ordinary
Nests
,
without
a
hundred
or
two
hundred
pound
in
twenty
shilling
péeces
about
him
.
After

of
some

paire
of

,
or
the
damning
of
some
ten
baile
of
Dice
,
steps
hée
vpon
the
Stage
,
and
this
part
he
playes

If
any
of
the
Forlorne
Hope
bée
a
Gentleman
of
Meanes
,
either
in
Esse
,
or
in
Posse
▪
(
and
that
the
olde
Fox
will
bée
sure
to
know
to
halfe
an
Acre
,
)
whose
money
runnes
at
a
low
ebbe
,
as
may
appeare
by
his
scratching
of
the
head
,
and
walking
vp
and
downe
the
roome
,
as
if
he
wanted
an
Ostler
:
The
Gull-groper
takes
him
to
a
side
window
and
tels
him
,
hée
's
sorry
to
sée
his
hard
luck
,
but
the
Dice
are
made
of
womens
bones
,
and
will
cozen
any
man
,
yet
for
his
fathers
sake
(
whom
he
hath
knowne
so
long
)
if
it
please
him
,
he
shal
not
leaue
off
play
for
a
hundred
pound
or
two
.
If
my
yong
Estrich
gape
to
swallow
downe
this
mettall
(
&
for
the
most
part
they
are
very
gréedy
,
hauing
such
prouander
set
before
them
)
then
is
the
gold
powred
on
the
board
,
a
Bond
is
made
for
repaiment
,
at
the
next
quarter
day
when
Exhibition
is
sent
in
:
and
because
it
is
all
gold
,
and
cost
so
much
the
changing
,
The
Scriuener
(
who
is
a
whelpe
of
the
old
Mastiues
owne
bréeding
)
knows
what
words
will
bite
,
which
thus
he
fastens
vpō
him
,
and
in
this
Nette
the
Gull
is
sure
to
be
taken
(
howsoeuer
:
)
for
if
he
fall
to
play
againe
,
&
loose
,
the
hoary
Goat-bearded
Satyre
that
stands
at
his
elbow
,
laughes
in
his
sléeue
:
if
his
bags
be
so
recouered
of
their
Falling-sicknes
,
that
they
be
able
presently
to
repay
the
borrowed
gold
,
then
Monsieur
Gul-groper
steales
away
of
purpose
to
auoide
the
receipt
of
it
;
he
hath
fatter
Chickens
in
hatching
:
t
is
a
fayrer
marke
he
shootes
at
.
For
the
day
being
come
when
the
bond
growes
due
,
the
within
named
Signior
Auaro
will
not
be
within
:
or
if
he
be
at
home
,
he
hath
wedges
enough
in
his
pate
,
to
cause
the
bond
to
bée
broken
,
or
else
a
little
before
the
day
,
he
féeds
my
young
Maister
with
such
swéet
words
,
that
surfetting
vpon
his
protestations
,
hée
neglects
his
paiment
,
as
presuming
hée
may
do
more
But
the
Law
hauing
a
hand
in
the
forfeiture
of
the
bond
,
laies
presently
hold
of
our
yong
Gallant
with
the
helpe
of
a
couple
of
Serieants
,
and
iust
at
such
a
time
when
old
Erra
Pater
(
the
Iew
,
)
that
lent
him
the
money
,
knowes
by
his
owne
Prognostication
,
that
the
Moone
with
the
siluer
face
is
with
him
in
the
waine
.
Nothing
then
can
frée
him
out
of
the
phanges
of
those
bloud-hounds
,
but
he
must
presently
confesse
a
iudgment
,
for
so
much
money
,
or
for
such
a
Manor
or
Lordship
(
thrée
times
worth
the
bond
forfeited
)
to
be
paid
or
to
be
entred
vpon
by
him
,
by
such
a
day
or
within
so
many
moneths
after
he
comes
to
his
land
.
And
thus
are
young
heires
coozend
of
their
Acres
,
before
they
well
know
where
they
lye
.
The
Wood-pecker
.
THe
Wood-pecker
is
a
bird
that
sits
by
vpon
a
perch
too
:
but
is
nothing
so
dangerous
,
as
this
Uulture
spoken
of
before
.
He
deales
altogether
vpon
Returnes
,
(
as
men
do
that
take
thrée
for
one
,
at
their
comming
back
from
Ierusalem
&c.
)
for
hauing
a
Iewell
,
a
Clock
,
a
King
with
a
Diamond
,
or
any
such
like
commoditie
,
he
notes
him
well
that
commonly
is
best
acquainted
with
the
Dire
,
and
hath
euer
good
luck
:
to
him
he
offers
his
prize
,
rating
it
at
ten
or
fiftéene
pound
,
when
happily
t
is
not
worth
aboue
six
and
for
it
he
bargaines
to
receiue
fiue
shillings
or
ten
shillings
(
according
as
it
is
in
value
)
at
euery
hand
,
second
,
third
,
or
fourth
hand
he
brawed
:
by
which
means
be
perhaps
in
a
short
time
,
makes
that

incounters
are
made
,
fierce
assailings
are
resisted
by
strength
,
by
courage
,
or
by
pollicy
:
the
enemy
is
pursued
,
and
the
Pursuers
neuer
giue
ouer
till
they
haue
him
in
execution
:
then
is
a
Retreate
sounded
,
then
are
spoiles
diuided
,
then
come
they
home
wearied
,
but
yet
crowned
with
honor
&
victory
.
And
as
in
battailes
there
be
seuerall
maners
of
fight
:
so
in
the
pastime
of
hunting
,
there
are
seuerall
degrées
of
game
.
Seme
hunt
the
Lion
,
and
that
shewes
as
when
subiects
rise
in
Armes
against
their
King
:
Some
hunt
the
Vnicorne
for
the
treasure
on
his
head
,
and
they
are
like
couetous
men
,
that
care
not
whome
they
kill
for
riches
:
some
hunt
the
Sp●tted
Panther
and
the
freckled
Leopard
,
they
are
such
as
to
inioy
their
pleasures
,
regard
not
how
blacke
an
infamy
stickes
vpon
them
:
All
these
are
barbarous
&
vnnaturall
Huntsemen
,
for
they
range
vp
and
downe
the
Deserts
,
the
Wildernes
,
and
inhabitable
Mountaines
.
Others
pursue
the
long
liued
Hart
,
the
couragious
Stag
or
the
nimble
footed
Deere
:
these
are
the
Noblest
hunters
,
and
they
exercise
the
Noblest
game
:
these
by
following
the
Chace
get
strength
of
body
,
a
frée
and
vndisquieted
minde
,
magnanimity
of
spirit
,
alacrity
of
heart
and
an
vnwearisomnesse
to
breake
through
the
hardest
labours
:
their
pleasures
are
not
insatiable
but
are
contented
to
be
kept
within
limits
,
for
these
hunt
within
Parkes
inclosed
,
or
within
bounded
Forrests
.
The
hunting
of
the
Hare
teaches
feare
to
be
bould
,
and
puts
simplicity
so
to
her
shifts
,
that
she
growes
cunning
and
prouident
:
the
turnings
and
cresse
windings
that
she
makes
,
are
embleames
of
〈◊〉
●fes
vncertainty
:
when
she
thinkes
she
is
furdest
from
danger
,
it
is
at
he
héeles
,
and
when
it
is
nerest
to
her
,
the
hand
of
safety
defends
her
.
When
she
is
wearied
and
has
runne
her
race
,
she
takes
her
death
patiently
,
onely
to
teach
man
,
that
he
should
make
himselfe
redy
,
when
the
graue
gapes
for
him
.
All
these
kinds
of
hunting
are
abroad
in
the
open
field
,
but
there
is
a
close
citty
hunting
onely
within
the
walls
,
that
pulles
downe
Parkes
,
layes
open
forrests
,
destroies
Chaces
,
woundes
the
Déere
of
the
land
,
and
make
such
hauocke
of
the
goodliest
Heards
,
that
by
their
wills
,
(
who
are
the
rangers
,
)
none
should
be
left
a
liue
but
the
Rascalls
:
This
kinds
of
hunting
is
base
,
and
ignoble
,
It
is
the
meanest
,
yet
the
most
mischieuous
,
&
it
is
called
Ferreting
.
To
behold
acourse
or
two
at
this
,
did
the
light
horseman
of
Hell
one
day
leape
into
the
saddle
.
Citty-Hunting
.
THis
Ferret-hunting
hath
his
Seasons
as
other
games
haue
,
and
is
onely
followed
at
such
a
time
of
yeare
,
when
the
Gentry
of
our
kingdome
by
riots
,
hauing
chased
them-selues
out
of
the
faire
reuenewes
and
large
possession
left
to
them
by
their
ancestors
,
are
forced
to
hide
their
heads
like
Conies
,
in
little
caues
and
in
vnfrequented
places
:
or
else
being
almost
windles
,
by
running
after
sensuall
pleasures
too
feircely
,
they
are
glad
(
for
keeping
them-selues
in
breath
so
long
as
a
they
can
)
to
tal
to
Ferret-hunting
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
take
vp
commodities
.
No
warrant
can
bée
graunted
for
a
Bucke
in
this
forrest
,
but
it
must
passe
vnder
these
fiue
hands
.
1
He
that
hunts
vp
and
downe
to
find
game
,
is
called
the
Tombler
.
2
The
commodities
that
are
taken
vp
are
cald
Purse-nets
.
3
The
Cittizen
that
selles
them
is
the
Ferret
.
4
They
that
take
vp
are
the
Rabbet-suckers
.
5
He
,
vpon
whose
credit
these
Rabbet-suckers
runne
,
is
called
the
Warren
.
How
the
Warren
is
made
.
AFter
a
raine
,
Conies
vse
to
come
out
of
their
Holes
and
to
sit
nibling
on
wéeds
or
any
thing
in
the
coole
of
the
euening
,
and
after
a
reueling
when
younger
brothers
haue
spent
al
,
or
in
gaming
haue
lost
al
,
they
sit
plotting
in
their
chambers
with
necessity
how
to
be
furnished
presently
with
a
new
supply
of
money
.
They
would
take
vp
any
commodity
whatsoeuer
,
but
their
names
stand
in
too
many
texted
letters
all
ready
in
Mercers
and
Scriueners
bookes
:
vpon
a
hundred
poundes
worth
of
Roasted
bée●e
they
could
finde
in
their
hearts
to
venture
,
for
that
would
away
in
turning
of
a
hand
:
but
where
shall
they
find
a
Butcher
or
a
Cooke
that
will
let
any
man
runne
so
much
vpon
the
score
for
flesh
onely
?
Suppose
therefore
that
Foure
of
such
loose
fortun'd
gallants
were
tied
in
one
knot
,
and
knew
not
how
to
fasten
themselues
vpon
some
welthy
cittizen
.
At
the
length
it
runnes
into
their
heads
,
that
such
a
young
Nouice
(
who
daily
serues
to
fill
vp
their
company
)
was
neuer
intangled
in
any
citty
limebush
:
they
know
his
present
meanes
to
be
good
,
and
thos
to
come
to
be
great
:
him
therefore
they
lay
vpon
the
Anuill
of
their
wits
,
till
they
haue
wrought
him
like
war
,
for
him-selue
as
well
as
for
them
:
to
doe
any
thing
in
war
,
or
indéed
till
they
haue
won
him
to
slide
vpon
this
ice
,
because
he
knowes
not
the
danger
)
is
he
easily
drawne
:
for
he
considers
within
himselfe
that
they
are
all
gentlemen
well
descended
,
they
haue
rich
fathers
,
they
weare
good
clothes
,
haue
bin
gallant
spenders
,
and
do
now
and
then
(
still
)
let
it
fly
fréely
:
hee
is
to
venture
vppon
no
more
rockes
than
all
they
,
what
then
should
hée
feare
?
hée
therefore
resolues
to
do
it
,
and
the
rather
because
his
owne
exhibition
runnes
low
,
&
that
there
lacke
a
great
many
wéekes
to
the
quarter
day
,
at
which
time
,
he
shal
be
refurnished
from

Uppon
him
therefore

they

Both

about
them
some
badge
of
a
Scholler

The
diuels
Ranck-ryder
,
that
came
from
the
last
Citty-hūting
,
vnderstanding
that
two
such
Light-horsemen
,
were
gon
a
Hawking
,
posts
after
and
ouer-takes
them
.
After
some
ordinary
high-way
talk
,
he
begins
to
question
of
what
profession
they
were
?
One
of
them
smyling
scornfully
in
his
face
,
as
thinking
him
to
be
some
Gull
,
(
and
●indeed
such
fellowes
take
all
men
for
Gulles
who
they
thinke
to
be
beneath
them
in
quallitie
)
tolde
him
they
were
Falconers
.
But
the
Fore
that
followed
them
seeing
no
properties
,
(
belonging
to
a
Falconer
)
about
them
smelt
knauery
,
took
them
for
a
paire
of
mad
rascals
,
&
therfore
resolued
to
see
at
what
these
Falconers
would
let
flie
.
How
to
cest
vp
the
Lure
.
AT
last
on
a
suddaine
saies
on
of
them
to
him
,
sir
,
wee
haue
Sprung
a
Patridge
,
and
so
fare
you
wel
▪
which
wordes
came
stammering
out
with
the
haste
that
they
made
,
for
presently
the
two
Forragers
of
the
Countrie
,
were
vppon
thr
Spurre
:
Plutoes
Post
seeing
this
stood
still
to
watch
them
,
and
at
length
saw
them
in
maine
gallop
make
toward
a
goodly
faire
place
,
where
either
some
Knight
or
some
great
Gentleman
kept
,
and
this
goodly
house
belike
was
the
Partridge
which
those
falconers
had
sprung
.
Hee
beeing
loath
to
loose
his
share
in
this
Hawking
,
and
hauing
power
to
transforme
himselfe
as
hee
listed
,
came
thither
as
soone
as
they
,
but
beheld
all
(
which
they
did
)
inuisible
.
They
both
like
two
Knights
Errant
alighted
at
the
Gate
,
knocked
and
were
lette
in
:
the
one
walkes
the
Hackneyes
in
an
outward
Court
,
as
if
hee
had
bene
but
Squire
to
Sir
Dagonet
.
The
other
(
as
boldly
as
Saint
George
when
he
dar'd
the
dragon
at
his
verrie
Den
)
marcheth
vndauntedly
vp
to
the
Hall
,
where
looking
ouer
those
poore
creatures
of
the
house
,
that
weare
but
the
bare
Blew
coates
(
for
A
quila
non
capit
Muscas
)
what
should
a
Falconer
meddle
with
flies
?
hee
onely
salutes
him
that
in
his
eye
seemes
to
bee
a
Gentleman
like
fellow
:
Of
him
he
askes
for
his
good
Knight
or
so
,
and
saies
that
he
is
a
*
Gentleman
come
from
London
on
a
businesse
,
which
he
must
deliuer
to
his
owne
Worshipfull
Eare.
Up
the
staires
does
braue
Mount-Dragon
ascend
,
the
Knight
and
he
encounter
,
and
with
this
staffe
does
he
valiantly
charge
vpon
him

Caught

SIr
I
am

Scholler

the
report
of

drawne
me
hither
,
venturously
bolde
to
fixe
your

short

here
I
dedicate
(
out

to

vtters

The
Hawking
pamphleter
is
then
bid
to
put
on
,
whilst
his
Miscellane
Maecenas
;
opens
a
booke
fairely
aparreld
in
vellom
with
gilt
fillets
&
fore-penny
silke
ribbon
at

,
like
little
streamers
on
the
top
of

Castle
,
hanging
dandling
by
at
the
foure
corners
,
the
title
being
superficially
suruaide
,
in
the
next
leafe
he
sees
that
the
Author
hee
,
hath
made
him
one
of
his
Gossips
for
the
booke
carries
his
worships
name
,
&
vnder
it
stands
an
Epistle
iust
the

of

grace
before

,
which
is
long
inough
for
any
booke
in

,
vnlesse
the

The

being
told
before

that

what
cost
he
hath
beene
at
,
and
how
farre
he
hath
ridden
to
come
to
him
,
he
knowes
that
Patrons
and
Godfathers
,
are
to
pay
scot
and
lot
alike
,
and
therefore
to
cherish
his
young
and
tender
Muse
,
he
giues
him
foure
or
sixe
Angells
,
inuiting
him
either
to
stay
breakefast
,
or
if
the
sun-diall
of

points
towards

to

Angler

No

Strawes

commonly
a

two
off

it
is
nothing

But
the
Uillage
into

they
rode
being
not

beginnes
to
discourse

how
he
caried
himselfe
in
the
action
,
how
he
was
encountred
:
how
he
stood
to
his

how

hee
came
off

he
cals
the

a
Noble
fellow

shrug

vnlesse

I
will
raise

The
two
Frée-booters
seeing
themselues
smoakd
,
told
their
third
Brother
,
he
seemd
to
be
a
gentleman
and
a
boone
companion

they
prayed
him
therefore
to
sit
downe
with
silence
,

sithence
dinner
was
not
yet
ready

hée
should
heare
all

This

one
of
them
)
which
you
see
vs
vse
can
afford
no
name

,
be
at
it
.
viz.
1.
He
that
casts
vp
the
Lure
is
calld
the
Falconer
.
2
The
Lure
that
is
cast
vp
is
an
idle
Pamphlet
.
3.
The
Tercel
Gentle
that
comes
to
the
Lure
,
is
some
knight
or
some
gentle
man
of
like
qualitie
.
4.
The
Bird
that
is
preied
vpon

is
Money

5.
Hee
that
walkes
the
horses
,
and
hunts
dry
foote

cald

The
Falconer
and
his
Spaniell

THe
Falconer
hauing
scraped
together
certaine
small
paringes
of
witte
,
he
first
cuttes
them
hansomely
in
pretty
peeces
,
and
of
those
peeces
does
he
patch
vppe
a
booke
.
This
booke
he
prints
at
his
own
charge

the
Mongrell
running
vppe
ano
downe
to
look
to
the
workemen
,
and
béaring
likewise
some
parte
of
the
cost
,
(
for
which
he
enters
vpon
his
halfe
share
)
When
it
is
fully
finished
,
the
Falconer
and
his
Mongrell
,
or
it
may
bée
two
Falconers
ioyne
in

but
howsoeuer
,
it
is
by
them
deuised
what
Shire
in
England
it
is
best
to
forrage
next
:
that
beeing
set
downe
,
the
Falconers
deale
either
with
a
Herauld
for
a
note
of
all
the
Knights
and
Gentlemens
names
of
worth
that
dwell
in
that
circuit
,
which
they
meane
to
ride
,
or
els
by
inquiry
get
the
chiefest
of
them
,
printing
of
so
many
Epistles
as
they
haue
names
,
the
epistles
Dedicatory
being
all
one
,
and
vary
in
nothing
but
in
the
titles
of
their
patrons
.
Hauing
thus
furnished
themselues
and
packed
vp
their
wa●es
,
away
they
trudge
like
tinckers
,
with
a
budget
at
one
of
their
backes
,
or
it
may
be
the
circle
they
meane
to
coniure
in
shall
not
be
out
of
London
,
especially
if
it
be
Tearme-time
,
or
when
a
Parliament
is
holden
(
for
then
they
haue
choise
of
sweete-meats
to
féed
vppon
.
(
If
a
gentleman
seeing
one
of
these
bookes
Dedicated
onely
to
his
name
,
suspect
it
to
be
a
bastard
,
that
hath
more
fathers
besides
himselfe
,
and
to
try
that
,
does
deferre
the
Presenter
for
a
day

,
sending
in
the
meane
time
(
as
some
haue
done
)
into
Paules
Church-yard
amongst
the
stationers

to
inquire
if
any
such
worke
be
come
forth
,
&
if
they
cannot
tell

then
to
steppe
to
the
Printers

Yet
haue
the
Falconers
a
tricke
to
goe
beyond
such
Hawkes
too
,
for
all
they
flye
so
hie
.
And
that
is
this
:
The
bookes
lye
all
at
the
Printers

not
one
line
of
an
epistle
to
any

those

is
sent

why
they

no

their
names
too
in
his
Tables
,
with
certain
bréefe
notes
of
their
practises
:
and
these
they
are
.
The
Iacke
of
a
Clocke-house
goes
vppon
Screws
,
and
his
office
is
to
do
nothing
but
strike
:
so
does
this
noise
,
(
for
they
walke
vp
and
downe
like
Fi●lers
)
trauaile
with
Motions
,
and
whatsoeuer
their
Motions
get
them
,
is
called
striking
.
Those
Motions
are
certaine
Collections
,
or
wittie
Inuentions
,
some-times
of
one
thing
,
and
then
of
an
other
(
there
is
a
new
one
now
in
●ime
,
in
praise
of
the
Vnion
)
And
these
are
fairely
written
and
engrossed
in
Uell●m
,
Parcheme●
,
or
Royall
paper
,
richly
adorned
with
compartiments
,
and
set
out
with
letters
both
in
gold
and
in
vations
coullo●s
.
This
labour
being
taken
,
the
Maister
of
the
Motion
hearkens
where
such
a
Nobleman
,
such
a
Lord
,
or
such
a
Knight
lyes
,
that
is
liberall
:
hauing
found
one
to
his
liking
,
The
Motion
(
with
his
Patrons
name
fairely
texted
out
,
in
manner
of
a
Dedication
,
)
is
presented
before
him
:
he
receiues
it
,
and
thinking
it
to
be
a
work
onely
vndertaken
for
his
sake
,
is
bounteous
to
the
giuer
,
esteeming
him
a
Scholler
,
and
knowing
that
not
without
great
trauaile
,
hee
hath
drawne
so
many
little
●gling
streames
into
so
faire
and
smoothe
a
Riuer
:
whereas
the
Worke
is
the
labour
of
some
other
(
copied
out
by
stealth
)
be
an
impudent
ignorant
fellow
,
that
runnes
vp
and
downe
with
the
Transcripts
,
and
euery
Ale-house
may
haue
one
of
them
(
hanging
in
the
basest
drinking
roome
)
if
they
will
bee
but
at
the
charges
of
writing
it
out
.
Thus
the
liberallitie
of
a
Nobleman
,
or
of
a
Gentleman
is
abused
:
thus
learning
is
brought
into
scorne
and
contempt
:
Thus
men
are
cheated
of
their
bountie
,
giuing
much
for
that
(
out
of
their
free
mindes
)
which
is
common
abroad
,
and
put
away
for
base
prices
.
Thus
villanie
some-times
walkes
alone
,
as
if
it
were
giuen
to
Melancholly
,
and
some-times
knaues
tie
them-selues
in
a
knot
,
because
they
may
be
more
merry
,
as
by
a
mad
sort
of
Comrades
whome
I

leaping

THere
is
a
troope
of
Horsemen
,
that
runne
vp
and
downe
the
whole
kingdome
,
they
are
euer
in
a
gallop
,
their
businesse
is
weightie
,
their
iournies
many
,
their
expences
greate
,
their
Innes
rustie
where
,
their
lands
no
where
:
they
haue
onely
a
certaine
Fr●e-holde
cald
Tyborne
(
scituate
neere
London
,
and
many
a
faire
paire
of
Gallowes
in
other
Countries
besides
,
)
vppon
which
they
li●e
verie
poorely
fill
they
dye
,
and
dye
for
the
moste
part
wickedly
,
because
their
liues
are
villanous
and
desperate
.
But
what
●ce
so
euer
they
runne
,
there
they
end
it
there
they
set
vp
their
rest
,
there
is
their
last
baste
,
whether
soeuer
their
●ourney
lyes
.
And
these
horse-men
haue
no
other
names
but
ranck
Riders
.
To
furnish
whome
foorth
for
any
iourney
,
they
must
haue
Kiding
sutes
cut
out
of
these
foure
peeces
.
1
The
Inne-kéeper
or
Hackney-man
,
of
whome
they
haue
horses
,
is
cald
A
Colt.
2
He
that
neuer
alights
off
a
rich
Farmer
or
country
Gentleman
,
till
he
haue
drawne
money
from
him
,
is
called
The
Snaffle
.
3
The
money
so
gotten
,
is
The
Ring
4
He
that
feedes
them
with
mony
is
called
The
prouander
.
These
Ranck-riders
(
like
Butchers
to
Rumford
market
)
sildome
goe
vnder
sire
or
seauen
in
a
company
,
and
these
Careeres
they
fetch
.
Their
pursses
being
warmly
lined
with
some
purchase
gotten
before
,
and
they
thēselues
well
booted
and
spur'd
,
and
in
reasonable
good
outsides
,
arriue
at
the
fairest
Inne
they
can
choose
,
either
in
Westminster
,
the
Strand
,
the
Cittie
,
or
the
Suburbes
.
Two
of
them
who
haue
cloathes
of
purpose
to
fitte
the
play
,
carrying
the
shew
of
Gentlemen
:
the
other
a●
their
partes
in
blew
coates
,
as
they
were
their
Seruingmen
,
though
indeede
they
be
all
fellowes
.
They
enter
all
durted
or
dustied
(
according
as
it
shall
please
the
high
way
to
vse
them
)
and
the
first
bridle
they
put
into
the
Colts
mouth
(
that
's
to
say
the
Inkeepers
)
is
at
their
comming
in
to
asks
alowde
if
the
footeman
begone
backe
with
the
horses
?
t
is
answered
yes
,
Heere
,
the
Ranck-riders
lye
three
or
foure
daies
,
spending
moderately
enough
,
yet
aabating
not
a
penny
of
any
reckoning
to
shew
of
what
house
they
came
:
in
with
space
their
counterfeit
followers
learne
what
country-man
the
maister
of
the
house
is
,
where
the
Hostlars
and
Chamberlaines
were
borne
,
and
what
other
countrie
Gentlemen
are
guests
to
the
Inne
?
which
lessons
being
presently
gotten
by
heart
,
they
fal
in
studdy
with
the
Generall
rules
of
their
knauerie
:
and
those
are
,
first
to
giue
out
,
that
their
Maister
is
a
Gentleman
of
such
and
such
meanes
,
in
such
a
shire
(
which
shall
be
sure
to
stand
farre
enough
from
those
places
where
any
of
the
house
,
or
of
other
guests
were
borne
,
)
that
hee
is
come
to
receiue
so
many
hundred
poundes
vppon
land
which
he
hath
solde
,
and
that
hee
meanes
to
Inne
there
some
quarter
of
a
yeare
at
least
.
This
Brasse
money
passing
for
currant
through
the
house
,
hée
is
more
obserued
and
better
attended
,
is
worshipped
at
euerie
word
:
and
the
easier
to
breake
and
bridle
the
Colt
,
his
Worship
will
not
sit
downe
to
Dinner
or
supper
,
till
the
Maister
of
the
house
be
placed
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
boord
by
him
.
In
the
middle
of
Supper
,
or
else
verie
earely
in
the
following
morning
,
comes
in
a
counterfeit
footeman
,
sweatingly
,
deliuering
a
message
that
such
a
Knight
hath
sent
for
the
head-Maister
of
these
Rancke-ryders
,
and
that
hee
must
bee
with
him
by
such
an
houre
,
the
iourney
being
not
aboue
twelue
or
foureteene
miles
.
Upon
deliuerie
of
this
message
:
(
from
so
deere
and
noble
a
friend
)
he
sweares
and
chafes
,
because
all
his
horses
are
out
of
Towne
,
curseth
the
sending
of
them
backe
,
offers
any
money
to
haue
himselfe
,
his
couzen
with
him
,
and
his
mē
but
reasonably
horst
.
Mine
host
being
a
credulous
Asse
,
suffers
them
all
to
get
vppe
vpon
him
,
for
hee
prouides
them
horses
either
of
his
owne
(
thinking
his
Guest
to
be
a
man
of
great
accompte
;
and
beeing
loath
to
loose
him
,
because
hee
spends
well
)
or
else
sendes
out
to
hire
them
of
his
neighbours
,
passing
his
word
for
their
forth-comming
with
in
a
day
or
two
,
Up
they
get
and
away
Gallopour
Ranck-riders
,
as
far
as
the
poore
Iades
can
carry
them
.
The
two
daies
being
ambled
out
of
the
worlde
,
and
perhaps
three
more
after
them
,
yet
neither
a
supply
of
Horse-men
or
Foote-men
,
(
as
was
promised
)
to
be
set
eye
vppon
.
The
lamentable
In-keeper
(
or
Hac●ney
man
,
if
he
chance
to
be
Sadled
for
this
iourney
too
)
loose
their
Colts
teeth
,
and
finde
that
they
are
made
olde
arrant
Iades
:
Search
,
then
runnes
vp
and
downe
like
a
Constable
halfe
out
of
his
wittes
(
vppon
a
Shroue-tuesday
)
and
hue
and
cry
followes
after
,
some
twelue
or
foureteene
miles
off
,
(
round
about
London
)
which
was
the
farthest
of
their
iourney
as
they
gaue
out
.
But
(
alas
!
)
the
horses
are
at
pasture
foure
score
or
a
hundred
miles
from
their
olde
mangers
:
they
were
sould
at
some
blinde
drunken
theeuish
faire
,
(
there
beeing
enow
of
them
in
company
to
saue
themselues
,
by
their
Toll-booke
,
)
the
Seruing-men
cast
off
their
blew-coates
,
and
cried
All
fellowes
:
the
money
is
spent
vpon
wine
,
vpon
whores
,
vpon
fidlers
,
vpō
fooles
(
by
whom
they
wil
loose
nothing
)
and
the
tyde
beeing
at
an
ebbe
,
they
are
as
ready
to
practise
their
skill
in
horse-manship
to
bring
Coltes
to
the
saddle
in
that
Towne
,
and
to
make
Nags
run
a
race
of
three-score
or
a
hundred
miles
of
from
that
place
,
as
before
they
did
from
London
.
Running
at
the
Ring
.
THus
,
solong
as
Horseflesh
can
make
them
fat
,
they
neuer
leaue
feeding
.
But
when
they
haue
beaten
so
many
high-waies
in
seuerall
countries
,
that
they
feare
to
be
ouer-taken
by
Tracers
,
then
(
like
Soldiers
comming
from
a
Breach
)
they
march
faire
&
softly
on
foot
,
lying
in
garrison
as
it
were
,
close
in
some
out
townes
,
til
the
foule
Rumor
of
their
Uillanies
(
like
a
stormy
durty
winter
)
be
blown
ouer
:
In
which
time
of
lurking
in
the
shel
,
they
are
not
idle
neither
,
but
like
snailes
they
venture
abroad
tho
the
law
hath
threatned
to
rain
down
neuer
so
much
puuish●t
vpon
them
:
and
what
do
they
?
they
are
not
bees
,
to
liue
by
their
owne
painfull
labors
,
but
Drones
that
must
eat
vp
the
sweetnesse
,
and
be
fedde
with
the
earnings
of
others
:
This
therefore
is
their
worke
.
They
carelesly
inquire
what
gentleman
of
worth
,
or
what
rich
Farmers
dwell
within
fiue
,
six
or
seauen
miles
of
the
Fort
where
they
are
〈◊〉
(
which
they
may
do
without
suspition
)
and
hauing
go●te
their
names
,
they
single
out
themselues
in
a
morning
,
and
each
man
takes
a
seuerall
path
to
himselfe
:
one
goes
East
,
one
West
,
one
North
,
and
the
other
South
:
walking
either
in
bootes
with
wandes
in
their
handes
,
or
otherwise
,
for
it
is
all
to
one
purpose
.
And
note
this
by
the
way
,
that
when
they
trauell
thus
on
foot
,
they
are
no
more
call'd
Ranck-riders
but
Strowlers
,
a
proper
name
giuen
to
Country
plaiers
,
that
(
without
Socks
)
trotte
from
towne
to
towne
vpon
the
hard
hoofe
.
Being
arriu'd
at
the
Gate
where
the
Gentleman
or
Farmer
dwelleth
,
he
boldly
knocke
,
inquiring
for
him
by
name
,
and
steppes
in
to
speake
with
him
:
the
seruant
séeing
a
fashionable
person
,
tells
his
Maister
there
is
a
Gentleman
desires
to
speake
with
him
:
the
maister
come
and
salutes
him
,
but
eying
him
well
,
saies
he
does
not
know
him
:
No
Sir
,
replies
the
other
(
with
a
face
bolde
ynough
)
it
may
be
so
,
but
I
pray
you
Sir
,
will
you
walke
aturne
or
two
in
your
Orchard
or
Garden
,
I
would
there
conferre
:
Hauing
got
him
thether
,
to
this
tune
he
plaies
vppon
him
.
How
the
snaffle
is
put
on
SIr
,
I
am
a
Gentleman
,
borne
to
better
meanes
then
my
present
fortunes
doe
allow
me
:
I
serued
in
the
field
,
and
had
commaunde
there
,
But
long
peace
(
you
knowe
Sir
)
is
the
Cancker
that
eates
vp
Sould●ers
,
and
so
it
hath
mee
.
I
lie
heere
not
far
off
,
in
the
Country
at
mine
Inn●
,
where
staying
vppon
the
dispatch
of
some
businesse
,
I
am
indebted
to
the
house
in
m●neys
,
so
that
I
cannot
with
the
credit
of
a
Gentleman
leaue
toe
house
till
I
haue
paide
them
.
Make
mee
sir
so
much
beholden
to
your
loue
as
to
lend
me
fortye
or
fiftie
shilings
to
beare
my
horse
and
my selfe
to
London
,
from
whence
within
a
day
or
two
,
I
shall
send
you
many
thanks
with
a
faithful
repayment
of
your
curtesie
.
The
honest
Gentleman
,
or
the
good
natur'd
Farmer
beholding
a
personable
man
,
fashionably
attit'd
,
and
not
carrying
in
outward
coullors
,
the
face
of
a
cogging
knaue
giues
credit
to
his
words
,
are
forty
that
they
are
not
at
this
present
time
so
well
furnished
as
they
could
wish
,
but
if
a
matter
of
twenty
shillings
can
stead
him
,
he
shall
commaund
it
,
because
it
were
pi●tie
any
honest
Gentleman
should
for
so
small
a
matter
mistarry
.
Happilye
they
meete
with
some
Chap-men
that
giue
them
their
owne
asking
;
but
howsoeuer
,
all
is
fish
that
comes
to
net
,
they
are
the
most
conscionable
market
folkes
that
euer
rode
betweene
two
paniers
,
for
from
fortie
they
will
fall
to
twentie
,
from
twenty
to
ten
,
from
ten
to
fiue
:
nay
these
mountibanckes
are
so
base
,
that
they
are
not
ashamed
to
take
two
shillings
of
a
plaine
husbandman
,
and
sometimes
sixe
pence
(
which
the
other
giues
simply
and
honestly
)
of
whome
they
demaunded
a
whole
fifteene
.
In
this
mann●r
doe
they
digge
siluer
out
of
mens
purses
,
all
the
day
,
and
at
night
meet
together
at
the
appointed
Rendeuouz
,
where
all
these
Snaffles
are
loosed
to
their
full
length
,
the
Ringes
which
that
day
they
haue
made
are
worne
.
The
Prouender
is
praised
or
dispraised
,
as
they
finde
it
in
goodnesse
,
but
it
goes
downe
all
,
whilst
they
laugh
at
all
.
And
thus
does
a
Common-wealth
bring
vp
children
,
that
care
not
how
they
discredit
her
,
or
vndoe
her
:
who
would
imagine
that
Birdes
so
faire
in
shewe
,
and
so
sweete
in
voice
,
should
be
so
dangerous
in
condition
?
but
Ra●ens

carryon
the
daintiest
meate

and
villains
estéeme
most
of
that
mony
which
is
purchast

basenes

The
Under

for

of
the
Cacodemōs
,
knowing
into
what
arrerages
these
Rank-tiders
were
runne
for
horse-flesh
to
his
maister
,
(
of
whome
he
farmed
the
office
)
sent
out
his
writs
to
attach
them
,
and
so
narrowly
pursued

that
for
all
they
were
wel
horst

some

sent
post
to
the

to

iayles

After
which
,
making
all
the
hast
he
posibly

A

a
strange

people

very
dangerous
to
townes
and

villages

CHAP.

A
Moone-man
signifies
in
English
,
a
mad-man
,
because
the
Moone
hath
greatest
domination
(
aboue
any
other
Planet
)
ouer
the
bodies
of
Frantick
persons
.
But
these
Moone-men
(
whose
Images
are
now
to
be
carued
)
are
neither
absolutely
mad
,
not
yet
perfectely
in
their
wits
)
Their
name
they
borrow
from
the
Moone
,
because
as
the
Moone
is
neuer
in
one
shape
two
nights
together
,
but
wanders
vp
&
downe
Heauen
,
like
an
Anticke
,
so
these
changeable-stuffe-companions
neuer
tary
one
day
in
a
place
,
but
are
the
onely
,
and
the
onely
base
Ronnagats
vpon
earth
.
And
as
in
the
Moone
there
is
a
man
,
that
neuer
stirres
without
a
bush
of
thornes
at
his
backe
,
so
these
Moone-men
lie
vnder
bushes
,
&
are
indéed
no
better
then
Hedge
creepers
.
They
are
a
people
more
scattred
then
Iewes
,
and
more
hated
:
beggerly
in
apparell
,
barbarous
in
condition
,
beastly
in
behauior
:
and
bloudy
if
they
meete
aduātage
.
A
man
that
sees
them
would
sweare
they
ha●
all
the
yellow
Iawndis
,
or
that
they
were
Tawny
Moores
bastardes
,
for
no
Red-oaker
man
caries
a
face
of
a
more
filthy
complexion
,
yet
are
they
not
borne
so
,
neither
has
the
Sunne
burnt
them
so
,
but
they
are
painted
so
,
yet
they
are
not
good
painters
neither
:
for
they
do
not
make
faces
,
but
marre
faces
.
By
a
by
name
they
are
called
Gipsies
,
they
call
themselues
Egiptians
,
others
in
mockery
call
them
Moone-men
.
If
they
be
Egiptians
,
sure
I
am
they
neuer
discended
from
the
tribes
of
any
of
those
people
that
came
out
of
the
Land
of
Egypt
:
Ptolomy
(
King
of
the
Egiptians
)
I
warrant
neuer
called
them
his
Subiects
:
no
nor
Pharao
before
him
.
Looke
what
difference
there
is
betwéene
a
ciuell
cittizen
of
Dublin
&
a
wilde
Irish
Kerne
,
so
much
difference
there
is
betwéene
one
of
these
counterfeit
Egiptians
and
a
true
English
Begger
.
An
English
Roague
is
iust
of
the
same
liuery
.
They
are
commonly
an
army
about
foure-score
cong
,
yet
they
neuer
march
with
all
their
bagges
and
baggages
together
,
but
(
like
boot-halers
)
they
forrage
vp
and
downe
countries
,

in
a
company
.
As
the
swizer
has
his
wench
and
his
Cocke
with
him
whē
he
goes
to
the
warres
,
so
these
vagabonds
haue
their
harlots
with
a
number
of
litle
children
following
at
their
héeles
:
which
young
brood
of
Beggers
,
are
sometimes
caried
(
like
so
many
gréene
geese
aliue
to
a
market
)
in
payres
of
panieres
,
or
in
dossers
like
fresh-fish
from
Rye
the
comes
on
horsebacke
,
(
if
they
be
but
infants
.
)
But
if
they
can
stradle
once
,
then
aswell
the
shee-roagues
as
the
hee-roagues
are
horst
,
seauen
or
eight
vpon
one
iade
,
strongly
pineond
,
and
strangely
tyed
together
.
One
Shire
alone
&
no
more
is
sure
stil
at
one
time
,
to
haue
these
Egiptian
lice
swarming
within
it
,
for
like
flockes
of
wild-géese
,
they
will
euermore
fly
one
after
another
:
let
them
be
scattred
worse
then
the
quarters
of
a
traitor
are
after
hée
s
hang'd
drawne
and
quartred
,
yet
they
haue
a
tricke
(
like
water
cut
with
a
swoord
)
to
come
together
instantly
and
easily
againe
:
and
this
is
their
pollicy
,
which
way
soeuer
theformost●
anckes
lead
,
they
sticke
vp
small
boughes
in
seuerall
places
,
to
euery
village
where
they
passe
,
which
serue
as
ensignes
to
waft
on
the
rest
.
Their
apparell
is
od
,
and
phantasticke
,
tho
it
be
neuer
so
full
of
rents
:
the
men
weare
scarses
of
Callico
,
or
any
other
base
stuffe
,
hanging
their
bodies
like
Morris-dancers
,
with
bels
,
&
other
toyes
,
to
intice
the
coūtrey
people
to
flocke
about
them
,
and
to
wounder
at
their
fooleries
or
rather
rancke
knaueryes
.
The
women
as
ridiculously
attire
them-selues
,
and
(
like
one
that
plaies
,
the
Roague
on
a
Stage
)
weare
rags
,
and
patched
filthy
mantles
vpermost
,
when
the
vnder
garments
are
hansome
and
in
fashion
.
The
battailes
these
Out-lawes
make
,
are
many
and
very
bloudy
.
Whosoeuer
falles
into
their
hands
neuer
escapes
aliue
,
&
so
cruell
they
are
in
these
murders
,
that
nothing
can
satisfie
thē
but
the
very
heart
bloud
of
those
whom
they
kill
.
And
who
are
they
(
thinke
you
)
that
thus
go
to
the
pot
?
Alasse
!
Innocent
Lambs
,
Shéep
,
Calues
,
Pigges
,
&c.
Poultrie-ware
are
more
churlishly
handled
by
them
,
thē
poore
prisoners
are
by
kéepers
in
the
counter
it
'h
Poultry
.
A
goose
comming
amongst
them
learnes
to
be
wise
,
that
hee
neuer
wil
be
Goose
any
more
.
The
bloudy
tragedies
of
al
these
,
are
only
acted
by
the
Womē
,
who
carrying
long
kniues
or
Skeanes
vnder
their
mantles
,
do
thus
play
their
parts
:
The
Stage
is
some
large
Heath
:
or
a
Firre
bush
Common
,
far
from
any
houses
:
Upō
which
casting
them-selues
into
a
King
,
they
inclose
the
Murdered
,
till
the
Massacre
be
finished
.
If
any
passenger
come
by
,
and
wondring
to
sée
such
a
cōiuring
circle
kept
by
Hel-hoūdes
,
demaund
what
spirits
they
raise
there
?
one
of
the
Murderers
steps
to
him
,
poysons
him
〈◊〉
sweete
wordes
and
shifts
him
off
,
with
this
lye
,
the
one
of
the
womé
is
falne
in
labour
.
But
if
any
mad
H●let
hearing
this
,
smell
villanie
,
&
rush
in
by
violence
to
sée
what
the
taw●y
Diuels
are
dooing
:
thē
they
excuse
the
fact
,
lay
the
blame
on
those
that
are
the
Actors
,
&
perhaps
(
if
they
see
no
reme●e
)
deliuer
them
to
an
officer
,
to
be
had
to
punishment
:
But
by
the
way
a
rescue
is
utely
laid
and
very
valiantl●
(
tho
very
villanously
)
do
they
fetch
them
off
,
a
guard
them
.
The
Cabbines
where
these
Land-pyrates
lodge
in
the
night
,
are
the
Out-ba●es
of
Farmers
&
Husband-men
,
(
in
some
poore
Uillage
or
other
)
who
dare
not
deny
them
,
for
feare
they
should
ere
morning
haue
their
thatched
houses
burning
about
their
eares
:
inthese
Ba●nes
,
are
hoth
their
Cooke-roomes
,
their
Supping
P●ors
and
their
Bed-chambers
:
for
there
they
dresse
after
a
beastly
manner
:
what
soeuer
they
purchast
after
a
théeu●h
fashion
:
sometimes
they
eate
Uenison
,
&
haue
Grey
houndes
that
kill
it
for
thē
,
but
if
they
had
not
,
they
are
Houndes
them-selues
&
are
damnable
Hunters
after
flesh
:
Which
appeares
by
their
vgly-fac'd
queanes
that
follow
them
:
with
whom
in
these
barnes
they
lie
,
as
Swine
do
together
in
Hogsties
.
These
Barnes
are
the
beds
of
Incests
,
Whoredomes
Adulteries
,
&
of
all
other
blacke
and
deadly-damned
Impi●ies
;
here
growes
the
Cursed
Tree
of
Bastardie
,
that
is
so
fruitfull
:
here
are
writtē
the
Bookes
of
al
Blasphemies
,
Swearings
&
Curses
,
that
are
so
dreadfull
to
be
read
.
Yet
the
simple
country
people
will
come
running
out
of
their
houses
to
gaze
vpō
them
whilst
in
the
meane
time
one
steales
into
the
next
Roome
,
and
brings
away
whatsoeuer
hee
can
lay
hold
on

Upon

of

&

,
they
Spred

in

old
doting
fooles
,
that

be
beatē
to
this
world
of

Palmestry

(
forsooth

can
tel

which
for
the
most
part
are
infallibly
true
,
by
reason
that
they
worke
vppon
rules
,
which
are
groūded
vpon

:
for

of

wil
tel
you
that
you
shal
shortly

some
euill

,
&
within

an
houre
after
you
shal
find
your

pick'd

or

These
are
those
Egiptian
Grashoppers
that
eate
vp
the
fruites
of
the
Earth
,

destroy
the
poore
corne

:
to
sweepe
whose
swarmes
out

kingdome
,
there
are
no
other
meanes
but
the
sharpnes
of
the
most
infamous
&
basest
kinds
of
punishment

For
if
the

of
this
Monster

suffred
to
grow

fatten
it selfe
with

,
then
(
to
purge
herself
)
is
she
dreind
out
of
the
Suburbes
(
as
though
her
corruption
were
there
left
behind
her
(
and
)
a●
a
cleere
streame
)
is
let
into
the
Citty
.
What
armor
a
harlot
weares
comming
out
of
the
Suburbes
to
besiege
the
Citty
within
the
wals
.
VPon
what
perch
then
does
she
sit
?
what
part
plaies
the
then
?
onely
the
Puritane
.
If
before
she
ruffled
in
silkes
,
now
is
she
more
ciuilly
attird
then
a
Mid-wife
.
I●
before
she
swaggred
in
Tauernes
,
now
with
the
Snaile
she
stirrethnot
out
of
dores
.
And
where
must
her
lodging
be
takē
vp
,
but
in
the
house
of
some
citt●
,
whose
known
reputation
,
she
borrowes
(
or
rather
steales
)
putting
it
on
as
a
cloake
to
couer
her
deformities
.
Yet
euē
in
that
,
hath
she
an
art
too
,
for
he
shal
be
of
such
a
profession
,
that
all
cōmers
may
enter
,
without
the
dāger
of
any
eyes
to
watch
thē
.
As
for
example
she
wil
lie
in
some
Scriueners
house
,
&
so
vnder
the
collour
of
comming
to
haue
a
Bond
made
,
she
herselfe
may
write
Noue
in
t
vniuersi
.
And
the
the
law
th●eaten
to
hit
her
neuer
so
often
,
yet
hath
she
subtile
defences
to
ward
off
the
blowes
.
For
,
if
Gallants
haūt
the
house
,
then
spreds
she
these
collours
:
she
is
a
captaine
or
a
lieutenāts
wife
in
the
Low-coūtries
,
&
they
come
with
letters
,
from
the
souldier
her
husband
.
If
Marchants
resort
to
her
,
then
hoistes
she
vp
these
sayles
,
she
is
wife
to
the
Maister
of
a
shippe
,
&
they
bring
newes
that
her
husbād
put
in
at
the
Straytes
,
or
at
Venice
,
at
Aleppo
,
Alexandria
,
or
Scanderoon
,
&c.
if
shop
keepers
come
to
her
,
with
what
do
you
lack
in
their
mouthes
,
thē
she
takes
vp
such
&
such
commodities
,
to
send
them
to
Rye
,
to
Bristow
,
to
Yorke
,
&c
where
her
husband
dwells
.
But
if
the
streame
of
her
fortunes
runne
low
,
and
that
none
but
Apronmen
lanch
forth
there
,
then
keepes
she
a
pollitick
tempsters
,
shop
,
or
she
starches
them
.
Perhaps
shee
is
so
pollitick
,
that
none
shal
be
noted
to
board
her
:
if
so
,
then
she
sailes
vpō
these
points
of
the
cōpasse
:
so
soone
as
euer
she
is
rig'd
,
and
all
her
furniture
on
,
forth
she
lancheth
into
those
streetes
that
are
most
frequēted
:
where
the
first
man
that
she
meetes
of
her
acquaintance
,
shal
(
without
much
pulling
)
get
her
into
a
Tauerne
:
out
of
him
she
kisses
a
breakefast
&
then
leaues
him
:
the
next
she
meetes
,
does
vpon
as
easie
pullies
,
draw
her
to
a
Tauerne
againe
,
out
of
him
she
cogs
a
dinner
,
&
then
leaues
him
:
the
third
man
,
squires
her
to
a
play
,
with
being
ended
,
&
the
wine
offred
&
taken
(
for
she
's
no
Recusant
,
to
refuse
any
thing
)
him
she
leaues
too
:
and
being
set
vpon
by
a
fourth
,
him
she
answers
at
his
own
weapō
,
sups
with
him
,
&
drincks
Vpsie
Freeze
,
til
the
clok
striking
Twelue
,
and
the
Drawers
being
drowzy
,
away
they
march
arme
in

,
being
at
euery
foot-step
fearful
to
be

by
the

,

CHAP.
X.
AT
the
end
of
fierce
battailes
,
the
onely
Rendeuouz
for
lame
souldiers
to
retire
vnto
,
is
an
Hospitall
:
and
at
the
end
of
a
long
Progresse
,
the
onely
ground
for
a
tyred
Ia●e
to
runne
in
,
is
some
blind
country
faire
,
where
he
may
be
sure
to
be
sold
,
To
these
Markets
of
vnwholesome
Horse-flesh
,
(
like
so
many
Rites
to
féede
vpon
Carion
)
do●
all
the
Horse-coursers
(
that
roost
about
the
Citty
)
flie
one
after
another
.
And
whereas
in
buying
all
other
commodities
,
men
striue
to
haue
the
best
,
how
great
so
euer
the
price
be
,
onely
the
Horse-courser
is
of
a
baser
minde
,
for
the
woorst
hors-flesh
(
so
it
be
cheape
)
does
best
goe
downe
with
him
.
He
cares
for
nothing
but
a
fayre
out-side
,
and
a
hansome
shape
(
like
those
that
hyre
whores
,
(
though
there
be
a
hundred
diseases
within
:
he
(
as
the
other
)
ventures
vpon
thē
all
.
The
first
lesson
therefore
that
a
Horse-courser
takes
out
,
when
he
comes
to
one
of
these
Markets
,
is
to
make
choyce
of
such
Nags
,
Geldings
,
or
Mares
,
especially
,
as
are
fatte
,
fayre
,
and
well-fauor'd
to
the
eye
:
and
because
men
delight
to
behold
beautifull
coullors
,
and
that
some
coulours
are
more
delicate
(
euen
in
beasts
)
then
others
are
,
he
will
so
néere
as
he
can
,
bargaine
for
those
horses
that
haue
the
daintiest
complexion
:
as
the
Milke-white
,
the
Gray
,
the
Dapple-Gray
,
the
Cole
blacke
with
his
proper
markes
(
as
t●e
white
starre
in
the
forehead
,
the
white
héele
,
&c.
)
or
the
bright
Bay
,
with
the
like
proper
markes
also
.
And
the
goodlier
proportion
the
beast
carries
or
the
fayrer
markes
or
coulour
that
hee
beares
,
are
or
ought
to
bee
watch-words
as
it
were
to
him
that
afterwards
buyes
him
of
the
horse-courser
,
that
he
bee
not
coozend
with
an
ouer-price
for
a
bad
peny-worth
,
because
such
Horses
(
belonging
for
the
most
part
to
Gentlemen
)
are
seldome
or
neuer
solde
away
,
but
vpon
some
fowle
quallty
,
or
some
incurable
disease
,
which
the
Beast
is
falne
into
.
The
Best
coulours
are
therefore
the
best
Cloakes
to
hide
those
faults
that
most
disfigure
a
Horse
:
and
next
vnto
coulour
,
his
Pace
doth
often-times
deceiue
and
goe
beyond
a
very
quick
Iudgement
.
Some
of
these
Horse-hunters
,
are
as
nimble
Knaues
in
finding
out
the
infirmities
of
a
Iade
,
as
a
Barber
is
in
drawing
of
téeth
:
and
albeit
(
without
casting
his
water
)
hee
does
more
readily
reckon
vp
all
the
Aches
,
Crampes
,
Crickes
,
and
whatsoeuer
disease
else
lyes
in
his
bones
:
and
for
those
diseases
seemes
vtterly
to
dislike
him
,
yet
if
by
looking
vpon
the
Dyall
within
his
mouth
,
he
finde
that
his
yeares
haue
struck
but
fiue
,
sixe
,
or
seauen
:
and
that
he
prooues
but
young
,
or
that
his
diseases
are
but
newly
growing
vpon
him
,
if
they
be
outward
,
or
haue
but
hayre
and
skin
to
hide
them
,
if
they
bee
inward
,
let
him
sweare
neuer
so
damnably
,
that
it
is
but
a
Iade
,
yet
he
will
be
sure
to
fasten
vpon
him
.
So
then
,
a
Horse-courser
to
the
Merchant
,
(
that
out
of
his
sound
iudgement
buyes
the
fairest
,
the
best-bred
,
and
the
noblest
Horses
,
selling
them
againe
for
breede
or
seruice
,
with
plainnesse
and
honesty
.
)
is
as
the
Cheator
to
the
faire
Gamester
:
hee
is
indeed
a
meere
Iadish
Nonopolitane
,
and
deales
for
none
but
tyred
,
taited
,
dull
and
diseased
horses
.
By
which
meanes
,
if
his
picture
bee
drawne
to
the
l●●e
,
you
shall
finde
euery
Horse-courser
for
the
most
part
to
bee
in
quality
a
coozener
,
by
profession
a
knaue
,
by
his
running
a
Uarlet
,
in
fayres
a
Hagling
Chapman
,
in
the
Citty
a
Cogging
dissembler
,
and
in
Smith-field
a
common
forsworne
Uillaine
.
Hee
will
sweare
any
thing
,
but
the
faster
hee
sweares
,
the
more
danger
t
is
to
beleeue
him
:
In
one
forenoone
,
and
in
selling
a
Iade
not
worth
fiue
Nobles
,
will
hee
forsweare
himselfe
fifteene
times
,
and
that
forswearing
too
shall
bee
by
Equiuocation
.
As
for
example
,
if
an
ignorant
Chapman
comming
to
beate
the
price
,
say
to
the
Horse-courser
your
nagge
is
verie
olde
or
thus
many
yeares
olde
,
and
reckon
ten
or
twelue
;
hee
claps
his
hand
presently
on
the
buttocke
of
the
beast
,
and
praies
he
may
bee
damb'd
if
the
Horse
be
not
vnder
fiue
,
meaning
that
the
horse
is
not
vnder
fiue
yeares
of
age
,
but
that
he
standes
vnder
fiue
of
his
fingers
,
when
his
hand
is
clap'd
vppon
him
.
These
Horse-coursers
are
called
Iynglers
,
and
these
Iynglers
hauing
laide
out
their
money
on
a
company
of
Iades
at
some
drunken
fayre
,
vp
to
London
they
driue
them
,
and
vppon
the
Market
day
into
Smithfield
brauely
come
they
prauncing
.
But
least
their
Iades
should
shew
too
many
horse
trickes
in
Smith-field
,
before
so
greate
an
Audience
as
commonly
resort
thither
,
their
maisters
doe
therefore
Schoole
them
at
home
after
this
manner
.
How
a
Horse-courser
workes
vpon
a
Iade
in
his
own
Stable
,
to
make
him
seruiceable
for
a
couzening
Race
in
Smith-field
.
THe
Glanders
in
a
horse
is
so
filthy
a
disease
,
that
he
who
is
troubled
with
it
can
neuer
keep
his
nose
cleane
:
so
that
when
such
a
foule-nosed
Iade
happens
to
serue
a
Horse-courser
,
hee
hath
more
strange
pils
(
then
a
Pothecarie
makes
)
for
the
purging
of
his
head
,
he
knowes
that
a
horse
with
such
a
qualitie
,
is
but
a
beastly
companion
to
trauell
vppon
the
high
way
with
anye
Gentleman
.
Albeit
therefore
that
the
Glanders
haue
played
with
his
Nose
so
long
,
that
hee
knowes
not
how
to
mend
himselfe
,
but
that
the
disease
beeing
suffered
to
runne
vppon
him
many
yeares
together
,
is
grown
inuincible
,
yet
hath
our
Iingling
Mountibancke
Smith-field
rider
a
tricke
to
cure
him
,
fiue
or
sixe
waies
and
this
isone
of
them
.
In
the
verie
morning
when
he
is
to
bee
rifled
away
a-amongst
the
Gamsters
in
Smithfield
,
before
hee
thrust
his
head
out
of
his
Maisters
Stable
,
the
Horse-courser
tickles
his
nose
(
not
with
a
Pipe
of
Tobacco
)
but
with
a
good
quantitie
of
the
best
Neesing
powder
that
can
bee
gotten
:
which
with
a
quil
being
blown
vp
into
the
Nostrills
,
to
make
it
worke
the
better
,
he
stands
p●aking
there
vp
and
downe
with
two
long
feathers
plucked
from
the
wing
of
a
Goose
,
they
beeing
dipt
in
the
iuice
of
Garlick
,
or
in
any
strong
oyle
,
and
thrust
vp
to
the
verie
top
of
his
head
,
so
farre
as
possibly
they
can
reach
,
to
make
the
pore
dumbe
beast
auoide
the
filth
from
his
nostrils
,
which
hee
will
doe
in
great
aboundance
:
this
being
done
,
he
comes
to
him
with
a
new
medicine
for
a
sicke
horse
,
and
mingling
the
iuyce
of
Bruzed
Garlike
,
sharpe
biting
Mustard
,
and
strong
Ale
together
,
into
both
the
Nostrils
(
with
a
Horne
)
is
powred
a
good
quantitie
of
this
filthy
Broth
,
which
by
the
hand
being
held
in
by
stopping
the
nostrils
close
together
,
at
length
with
a
little
neezing
more
,
his
nose
will
be
cleaner
then
his
Maisters
the
Horse-courser
,
and
the
filth
bee
so
Artificially
stop'd
that
for
eight
or
ten
houres
a
Iade
will
holde
vp
his
head
with
the
prowdest
Gelding
that
gallops
scornefully
by
him
,
and
neuer
haue
neede
of
wiping
.
This
is
one
of
the
Comedies
a
Common
horse-courser
playes
by
himselfe
at
home
,
but
if
when
hee
comes
to
act
the
second
part
abroad
,
you
would
disgrace
him
,
and
haue
him
hissd
at
for
net
playing
the
Knaue
well
,
then
handle
him
thus
:
If
you
suspect
that
the
Nagge
which
he
would
Iade
you
with
,
bee
troubled
with
that
or
any
other
such
like
disease
,
gripe
him
hard
about
the
wesand
pipe
,
close
toward
ther●ofe
of
the
tongue
,
and
holding
him
there
so
long
and
so
for●bly
,
that
he
cough
twice
or
thrice
,
it
then
(
after
you
let
goe
your
holde
)
his
chappes
begin
to
walke
as
if
he
were
chewing
downe
a
Horse-loafe
,
shake
hands
with
old
Mounsier
Cauiliero
Hors-Courser
,
but
c●ap
no
bargain
vpon
●t
,
for
his
Iade
is
as
full
of
infirmitie
,
as
the
maister
f

Smithfield
is
the
Stage
vpon
which
the
Moūtibank
English
Horse-courser
aduācing
his
banner
,
deffes
any
disease
that
dares
touch
his
Prancer
:
Insomuch
that
if
a
horse
be
so
olde
,
as
that
foure
legs
can
but
carry
him
,
yet
shall
he
beare
the
markes
of
an
Nag
not
aboue
sixe
or
seauen
peares
of
age
:
&
that
counterseit
badge
of
youth
,
he
weares
thus
:
The
Horse-courser
with
a
smal
round
yrō
made
very
hot
,
burnes
two
black
holes
in
the
top
of
the
two
out-most
teeth
of
each
side
the
out-side
of
the
Horses
mouth
vpon
the
nether
teeth
,
&
so
likewise
of
the
teeth
of
the
vpper
chap
,
which
stand
opposite
to
the
nether
,
the
quallitie
of
which
marks
is
to
shew
that
a
horse
is
but
yong
:
but
if
the
iade
be
so
old
that
those
teeth
are
dropt
out
of
his
head
,
thē
is
there
a
tricke
still
to
be
fumbling
about
his
olde
chaps
,
&
in
that
stroaking
his
chin
,
to
pricke
his
lips
closely
with
a
pin
or
a
naile
,
till
they
be
so
tender
,
that
albeit
be
were
a
giuen
horse
none
could
bee
suffered
to
looke
him
in
the
mouth
(
which
is
one
of
the
best
Calenders
to
tell
his
age
)
but
a
reasonable
sighted
eie
(
without
helpe
of
spectacles
)
may
easily
discouer
this
Iugling
,
because
it
is
grosse
and
common
.
If
now
a
Horse
(
hauing
beene
asore
Traualler
)
happē
by
falling
into
a
colde
sweate
to
bee
Foundred
,
so
that
(
as
if
hee
were
drunck
or
had
the
staggers
)
bee
can
scarce
stand
on
his
legges
,
then
will
his
maister
,
before
hee
enter
into
the
lists
of
the
field
against
all
commers
,
put
him
into
a
villanous
chasing
by
ryding
him
vp
and
downe
a
quarter
or
halfe
an
houre
,
till
his
limbes
bee
thoroughly
heated
,
and
this
hee
does
,
because
so
long
as
hee
can
discharge
that
false
fire
,
or
that
(
beingso
collerickly
hotte
)
hee
tramples
onely
vppon
soft
ground
,
a
very
cūning
Horsemā
shal
hardly
find
where
his
shoo
wrings
him
,
or
that
hee
is
Fowndred
.
And
(
to
blinde
the
eyes
of
the
Chapman
)
the
Horse-courser
will
bee
euer
tickling
of
him
with
his
wand
,
because
hee
may
not
by
standing
still
like
an
Asse
,
shew
of
what
house
hee
comes
.
It
a
Horse
come
into
the
fielde
(
like
a
lame
soldier
)
Halting
,
hee
has
not
Crutches
made
for
him
,
as
the
soldier
hath
,
but
because
you
shall
thinke
the
Horses
shooemaker
hath
seru'd
him
like
a
Iade
,
by
not
fitting
his
foote
well
,
the
shooe
shall
bee
takē
off
purposely
from
that
foote
which
halts
,
as
though
it
had
beene
lost
by
chance
:
And
to
proue
this
,
witnesses
shall
come
in
,
if
at
least
twenty
or
thirty
damnable
oathes
can
be
takē
,
that
the
want
of
the
Shooe
is
onely
the
cause
of
his
Halting
.
But
if
a
Horse
cannot
be
lustie
at
legges
:
by
reason
that
either
his
hoofes
bee
not
good
,
or
that
there
be
Splents
,
or
any
other
Eye-sore
about
the
nether
Ioynt
,
the
Hors-courser
vses
him
then
as
Cheating
Swaggerers
handle
Nouices
:
what
they
cannot
winne
by
the
Dyce
,
they
will
haue
by
Foule
play
:
&
in
that
foule
manner
,
deales
hee
with
the
poore
horse
,
ryding
him
,
vp
and
downe
in
the
thickest
&
the
durtiest
places
,
till
that
durt
,
like
a
ruffled
boote
drawne
vppon
an
ill-fauour'd
gowtie
legge
,
couer
the
Iades
infirmitie
from
the
eyes
of
the
Buyer
.
How
a
Horse-courser
makes
a
lade
that
has
no
stomach
,
to
eate
Lamb-pye
.
ALbeit
Lamb-pie
be
good
meat
vpō
a
table
,
yet
it
is
so
offensiue
to
a
horses
stomach
,
that
he
had
rather
besed
a
moneth
together
with
mustie
oates
,
thā
to
taste
it
;
Yet
are
not
all
Horses●iddē
●iddē
to
his
Lamb-pye-Breakefasts
but
onely
such
as
ate
dyeted
with
no
other
meate
:
and
those
are
Dull
,
Blockish
,
Sullen
,
and
heauie
footed
Iades
.
When-soeuer
therefore
a
Horse-courser
hath
such
a
Dead
commoditie
,
as
a
Lumpish
slow
Iade
,
that
goes
more
heauily
then
a
Cow
when
shee
trots
,
and
that
neither
by
a
sharpe
bitte
nor
a
tickling
spurre
he
can
put
him
out
of
his
lazie
and
dogged
pace
,
what
does
hee
with
him
then
?
Duelye
he
giues
him
Lambpie
.
That
is
to
say
,
euery
morning
when
the
Horse-courser
comes
into
the
Stable
,
he
takes
vp
a
tough
round
cudgell
,
and
neuer
leaues
fencing
with
his
Quarter
staffe
at
the
poore
Horses
sides
and
buttockes
,
till
with
blowes
hee
hath
made
them
so
tender
,
that
the
verry
shaking
of
a
bough
will
be
able
to
make
the
horse
ready
to
runne
out
of
his
wittes
,
And
to
keep
the
horse
still
in
this
mad
mood
,
because
he
shall
not
forget
his
lesson
,
his
maister
will
neuer
come
neer
him
,
but
he
will
haue
a
fling
at
him
:
If
he
doe
touch
him
,
hee
strikes
him
:
if
he
spepkes
to
him
,
there
is
but
a
worde
and
a
blow
:
if
he
doe
but
looke
vpon
him
,
the
Horse
flings
and
takes
on
,
as
though
he
would
breaks
through
the
walles
,
or
had
bene
a
Horse
bredde
vp
in
Bedlam
amongst
mad-folkes
.
Hauing
thus
gotten
this
hard
lesson
by
heart
,
forth
comes
he
into
Smithfield
to
repeat
it
,
where
the
Rider
shall
no
sooner
leap
into
the
saddle
but
the
Horse-courser
giuing
the
Iade
(
that
is
halfe
scarred
out
of
his
wits
already
)
three
or
foure
good
bangs
,
away
flies
Bucephalus
as
if
yōg
Alexander
wer
vpon
his
backe
.
No
ground
can
holde
him
,
no
bridle
raine
him
in
,
he
gallops
away
as
if
the
Deuill
had
hired
him
of
some
Hackney-man
,
and
scuds
through
thicke
and
thinne
,
as
if
crackers
had
hung
at
his
heeles
.
If
his
taile
play
the
wag
,
and
happen
to
whilke
vp
and
downe
(
which
is
a
signe
that
he
does
his
feates
of
Actiuitie
like
a
Tumblers
prentice
by
compulsion
and
without
taking
pleasure
in
them
(
then
shall
you
sée
the
Hors●-courser
late
about
him
like
a
thrasher
,
till
with
blowes
he
made
him
carry
his
taile
to
his
Bottocks
:
which
in
a
Horse
(
contrary
to
the
nature
of
a
Dog
)
is
an
argument
that
he
hath
mettall
in
him
and
Spirrit
,
as
in
the
other
it
is
the
note
of
cowardise
.
These
and
such
other
base
iuglings
are
put
in
practise
,
by
the
Horse-courser
;
in
this
maner
comes
he
arm'd
into
the
field
:
with
such
had
and
deceiptfull
cōmodities
does
he
furnish
the
markets
.
Neither
steps
he
vpon
the
diuels
stage
alone
,
but
others
are
likewise
Actors
in
the
selfe●ame
Scene
,
and
sharers
with
him
:
for
no
sooner
shall
money
be
offred
for
a
Horse
,
but
presently
one
Snake
thrusts
out
his
head
and
stings
the
buyer
with
false
praises
of
the
Horses
goodnesse
:
An
other
throwes
out
his
poisoned
hooke
and
whispers
in
the
Chapmans
eare
,
that
vpon
his
knowledge
so
much
or
so
much
hath
bene
offred
by
foure
or
fiue
,
and
would
not
be
taken
▪
and
of
these
Rauens
there
vesundry
nests
,
but
all
of
them
as
blacke
in
soule
us
the
Horse-courser
(
with
whome
they
are
yoaked
)
〈◊〉
in
conscience
.
This
Regiment
of
Horse-men
is
therefore
deuided
into
foure
Squadrons
.
viz.
1
When
Horse-coursers
trauaile
to
country
faires
,
they
are
called
Iynglers
.
2
When
they
haue
the
leading
of
the
Horse
&
serue
in
Smithfield
,
they
are
Drouers
.
3
They
that
stand
by
and
conycatche
the
Chapman
either
with
Out-bidding
,
false-praises
,
&c.
are
called
Goades
.
4
The
boyes
,
striplings
,
&c.
that
haue
the
ryding
of
the
Iades
vp
and
downe
are
called
Skip-iacks
.
Iacke
in
a
Box.

a
new
kinde
of
Cheating
,
teaching
how
to
change
golde
into
Siluer
,
vnto
which
is
added
a
Map
,
by
which
a
man
may
learn
how
to
trauell
all
ouer
England
and
haue
his
charges
borne

HOw
many
Trees
of
Euill
are
growing
in
this
coūtrie
?
how
tall
they
are
?
how
Mellow
is
their
fruit
?
and
how
greedily
gathered
?
so
much
ground
doe
they
take
vp
,
and
so
thickly
doe
they
stand
together
,
that
it
séemeth
a
kingdom
can
bring
forth
no
more
of
their
nature
,
yes
,
yes
,
there
are
not
halfe
so
many
Riuers
in
Hell
,
in
which
a
soule
may
saile
to
damnation
,
as
there
are
Black
Streames
of
Mischiefe
and
Villany
(
besides
all
those
which
in
our
Now-two
Ueyages
,
we
haue
ventured
so
many
leagues
vp
,
for
discouerie
)
in
which
thousandes
of
people
are
continually
swimming
,
and
encrie
minute
in
danger
vtterly
to
be
cast
away
.
The
Horse-Courser
of
hell
,
after
he
had
durtyed
himselfe
with
ryding
vp
and
downe
Smithfield
and
hauing
his
beast
vnder
him
,
gallopped
away
amaine
to
beholde
a
race
of
fiue
myles
by
a
couple
of
Running-Horses
,
vppon
whose
swiftnesse
great
summes
of
money
were
laide
in
wagers
.
In
which
Schoole
of
Horse-manshippe
(
wherein
for
the
moste
part
none
but
Gallants
are
the
Studients
)
hee
construed
but
strange
Lectures
of
Abuses
:
he
could
make
large
Comments
vppon
those
that
are
the
Runners
of
those
Races
,
and
could
teach
others
how
to
loose
fortie
or
fiftie
pound
pollitickly
in
the
forenoone
,
and
in
the
after
noone
(
with
the
selfe-same
Gelding
)
to
winne
a
thousand
markes
in
fiue
or
sire
miles
riding
.
Hee
could
tell
how
Gentlemen
are
fetch'd
in
and
made
younger
brothers
,
and
how
your
new
Knight
comes
to
be
a
Couzen
of
this
Race
.
He
could
drawe
the
true
pictures
of
some
fellowes
,
that
dyet
these
Running-Horses
,
who
for
a
bride
of
fortie
or
fiftie
shillings
can
by
a
false
Dye
make
their
owne
Maisters
loose
a
hundred
pound
a
race
.
He
could
shew
more
craftie
Foxes
in
this
wilde-goose
chase
thē
there
are
white
Foxes
in
Russia
,
&
more
strange
Horse-trickes
plaide
by
such
Riders
,
then
Bankes
his
curtall
did
euer
practise
(
whose
Gamballs
of
the
two
,
were
the
honester
.
But
because
this
sort
of
Birdes
haue
many
feathers
to
loose
,
before
they
can
feele
any
colde
,
he
suffers
them
to
make
their
owne
flight
,
knowing
that
prodigalls
doe
but
iest
at
the
stripes
which
other
mens
rods
giue
them
,
and
neuer
complaine
of
smarting
till
they
are
whip'd
with
their
owne
.
In
euerie
Corner
did
he
finde
Serpents
ingendering
:
vnder
euerie
roofe
,
some
impyetie
or
other
lay
breeding
:
but
at
last
perceining
that
the
most
part
of
men
were
by
the
sorcerie
of
their
own
diuelish
conditions
transformed
into
Wolues
,
and
being
so
changed
,
were
more
brutish
&
bloody
,
then
those
that
were
Wolues
by
nature
:
his
spleene
leap'd
against
his
ribbes
with
laughter
,
and
in
the
height
of
that
ioy
resolued
to
write
the
villanies
of
the
world
in
Folio
,
and
to
dedicate
them
in
priuate
to
his
Lord
and
Maister
,
because
hee
knew
him
to
bee
an
open-handed
patron
,
albeit
he
was
no
great
louer
of
schollers
.
But
hauing
begunne
one
picture
of
a
certaine
strange
Beast
,
(
called
Iacke
in
a
Boxe
)
that
onely
(
because
the
Cittie
had
giuen
money
already
to
see
it
)
hee
finished
:
and
in
these
colours
was
Iack
in
a
Boxe
drawn
.
It
hath
the
head
of
a
man
(
the
face
well
bearded
)
the
eyes
of
a
Hawke
,
the
tongue
of
a
Lap-wing
,
which
saies
heere
it
is
,
when
the
nest
is
a
good
way
off
:
it
hath
the
stomacke
of
an
Estrich
,
and
can
disgest
siluer
as
easily
,
as
that
Bird
dooth
Yron
.
It
hath
the
pawes
of
a
Beare
instead
of
handes
,
for
whatsoeuer
it
fastneth
vppon
,
it
holdes
:
From
the
middle
downe-wardes
,
it
is
made
like
a
Grey-hound
,
and
is
so
swift
of
foote
,
that
if
it
once
get
the
Start
of
you
,
a
whole
Kennel
of
Hounds
cannot
ouertake
it
.
It
loues
to
hunt
dry-foote
,
and
can
Scent
a
Traine
in
no
ground
so
well
as
the
Cittie
,
and
yet
not
in
all
places
of
the
Cittie
.
But
he
is
best
in
Scenting
betweene
Ludgate
and
Temple-barre
:
and
t
is
thought
that
his
next
hunting
shall
bee
betweene
Lumbard-streete
and
the
Gold
smithes
Rowe
in
Cheapeside
:
Thus
much
for
his
out
ward
parts
,
now
you
shall
haue
him
vnrip'd
,
and
see
his
inward
.
This
Iacke
in
a
Boxe
,
or
this
Deuill
in
mans
shape
,
wearing
(
like
a
player
on
a
Stage
)
good
cloathes
on
his
backe
,
comes
to
a
Golde-smithes
Stall
,
to
a
Drapers
,
a
Haberdashers
,
or
into
any
other
shop
where
he
knows
good
store
of
siluer
faces
are
to
be
seene
.
And
there
drawing
foorth
a
faire
new
box
,
hammered
all
out
of
Siluer
Plate
,
hee
opens
it
,
and
powres
foorth
twentie
or
forty
Twentie-shilling-peeces
in
New-golde
.
To
which

that
either

(
to

hath
an
occasion
for
foure

But
because

(
nay
he

)
to
trauaile
to
Venice
,
to
Ierusalem
or
so
,
and
would
not
willingly
be
disfurnished
of
Golde

he
dooth
therefore
request
the
Cittizen
to
lend
(
vpon
those
Forty
twenty
shilling
peeces
)
so
much
in
white
money
(
but
for

fiue

sixe
daies
at

)
and
for
his
good-will
he
shall
receiue
any
reasonable
satisfaction
.
The
Cittizen
(
knowing
the
pawne
to
be
better
thē
a
Bond
)
powres
downe
fortie
pound
in
siluer

Fiue

Iacke
in
a

(
according
to
his
Bargaine
)
being
a
man
of
his

comes
againe
to
the
Shop

(
at
which
hee
angles
for
fresh
Fish
)
and
there
casting
out
his
line
with
the
siluer
hooke
,
that
's
to

,
pouring
out
the
forty

which
hee
borrowed
,
The
Citizen
sends
in

or
steps
himselfe
for
the
Boxe
with
the
Golden

:
it
is
opened
,
and
the
army
of
angels
being
mustred
together
,
they
are
all
found
to
bee
there
.
The
Box
is
shut
agen
and
set
on
the
Stall
,
whilst
the
Cittizen
is
telling
of
his
money
:
But
whilst
this
musicke
is
sounding
,
Iacke
in
a
Boxe
actes
his
part
in
a
dumb

thus
;
hee
shifts
out
o

another
Boxe
of
the

mettall
and
making

that
the

The
Citizen
in
the
meane
time
(
whilst
this
Pit-fall
is
made
for
him
)
telling
the
fortie

,
misseth
thirtie

strange
vnto
him

at
last
making
a
gathering
within
himselfe
)
for
his
wits
,
hee
remembers
(
he
saies
)
that
hee
laid
by
so
much
money
as
is
wanting
(
of
the
fortie
poundes
to
dispatch
some
businesse
or
other
,
and
forgot
to
put
it
into
the
Bag
again●
,
notwithstanding

hee
intreates
the
Citizen
,
to
keepe
his
golde

hee
will
take
the
white

home
to
fetch
the
rest
,
and
make
vp
the
Summe
,
his
absence
shall
not
bee
aboue
an

before
which
time
he
shall
bee
sure
to
heare
of
him
,
and
with
this
the
little
Diuell
vanisheth
,
carrying
that
away
with
him
,
which
in
the
end
will
send
him
to
the
Gallowes
,
(
that
's
to
say
his
owne
golde
,
)
and
fortie
pound
besides
of
the
Shop-keepers
,
which
hee
borrowed
,
the

béeing
glad
to
take
forty
shillings
for
the
whole
debt
,
and
yet
is
soundly
box'd
for
his
labour
.
This
Iacke
in
a

,
is
yet
but
a
Chicken
,
and
hath
laide
verie
few
Egges
,
if
the
Hang-man
doe
not
spoyle
it
with

it
will
prooue

of

It
is
a
knot
of
Cheators
but
newly
tyed
,
they
are
not
yet
a
company
.
They
flie
not
like
Wilde-Geese
(
in
flockes
)
but
like
Kites
(
single
)
as
loath
that
any
should
share
in
their
pray
.
They
haue
two
or
thrée
names
,
(
yet
they
are
no
Romaines
,
but
errant
Rogues
)
for
some-times
they
call
themselues
Iacke
in
a
boxe
,
but
now
that
their
infantrie
growes
strong
,
and
that
it
is
knowne
abroad
,
that
they
carrie
the
Philosophers
stone
●bout
them
,
and
are
able
of
fortie
shillings
to
make
fortie

,
they
therefore
vse
a
deade
March
,
and
the
better
to
cloake
their
villanies
,
doe
put
on
these
Masking
suites
:
viz.
1.
This
art
or
sleight
of
changing
golde
into

,
is
called
Trimming

2.
They
that
practise
it

terme
them-selues
Sheepe-shearers

The
Gold
which
they
bring

,
is

Iasons
Fleece

4
The
siluer
which
they
pick
vp
by
this
wandring
,
is
White-wooll
.
5
They
that
are
Cheated
by
Iacke
in
a
Boxe
,
are
called
Bleaters
.
Oh
Fleete-streete
,
Fleete-streete
!
how
hast
thou
bene
trimd
,
washed
,
Shauen
and
Polde
by
these
deere
and
damnable
Barbers
?
how
often
hast
thou
mette
with
these
Sheep-shearers
?
how
many
warme
flakes
of
wooll
haue
they
pulled
from
thy
Back
?
yet
if
thy
Bleating
can
make
the
flockes
that
graze
nere
vnto
thee
and
round
about
thee
,
to
lift
vp
thy
eyes
,
and
to
shunne
such
Wolues
and
Foxes
,
when
they
are
approaching
,
or
to
haue
them
worryed
to
death
before
they
sucke
the
blood
of
others
,
thy
misfortunes
are
the
lesse
,
because
thy
neighbours
by
them
shall
be
warned
from
danger
.
Many
of
thy
Gallants
(
O
Fleete-streete
)
haue
spent
hundreds
of
poundes
in
thy
presence
,
and
yet
neuer
were
so
much
as
drunke
for
it
:
but
for
euerie
fortye
pound
that
thou
layest
out
in
this
Indian
commoditie
(
of
gold
)
thou
hast
a
Siluer
Boxe
bestowed
vpon
thee
,
to
carry
thy
Tobacco
in
,
because
thou
hast
euer
loued
that
costlye
and
Gentleman-like
Smoak
.
Iacke
in
a
Boxe
hath
thus
plaide
his
part
.
There
is
yet
another
Actor
to
step
vpon
the
stage
,
and
he
seemes
to
haue
good
skil
in
Cosmography
for
he
holdes
in
his
hand
a
Map
,
wherein
hee
hath
layde
downe
a
number
of
Shires
in
England
,
and
with
small
pricks
hath
beaten
out
a
path
,
teaching
how
a
man
may
easily
,
(
tho
not
verry
honestly
)
trauell
from
Country
to
Country
,
and
haue
his
charges
borne
;
and
thus
it
is
.
He
that
vnder-takes
this
strange
iourney
,
layes
his
first
plotte
how
to
be
turned
into
a
Braue
man
,
which
he
findes
can
be
done
by
none
better
then
by
a
trusty
Tailor
:
working
therefore
hard
with
him
,
till
his
suite
be
granted
,
Out
of
the
Cittie
,
beeing
mounted
on
a
good
gelding
,
he
tides
vpon
his
owne
bare
credit
,
not
caring
whether
●e
trauell
to
meete
the
Sunne
at
his
Rysing
or
at
his
going
downe
.
He
knowes
his
Kitchin
smokes
in
euery
Countie
,
and
his
table
couered
in
euery
Shire
.
For
when
he
comes
within
a
mile
of
the
Towne
,
where
hee
meanes
to
catche
Quas●es
,
setting
Spurres
to
his
horse
,
away
he
gallops
,
with
his
cloake
off
(
for
in
these
Beseigings
of
Townes
hee
goes
not
armd
with
any
(
his
Hatte
thrust
into
his
Hose
,
as
if
it
were
lost
,
and
onely
an
emptie
paire
of
Hangers
by
his
side
,
to
shew
that
hee
has
bene
disarmed
.
And
you
must
note
,
that
this
Hot
spurre
does
neuer
set
vppon
any
places
but
onely
such
,
where
hee
knowes
(
by
intelligence
)
there
are
store
of
Gentlemen
,
or
wealthy
Farmers
at
the
least
.
Amongst
whome
when
hee
is
come
,
hee
tels
with
distracted
lookes
,
and
a
voice
almoste
breathlesse
,
how
many
Uillaines
set
vppon
him
,
what
golde
&
siluer
they
tooke
from
him
,
what
woods
they
are
fled
into
,
from
what
part
of
Englād
he
is
come
,
to
what
place
he
is
going
,
how
farre
he
is
from
home
,
how
farre
from
his
iornies
end
,
or
from
any
Gentleman
of
his
acquaintance
,
and
so
liuely
personates
the
lying
Greek
(
Synon
)
in
telling
a
lamentable
tale
:
that
the
mad
Troianes
(
the
Gentlemen
of
the
towne
,
beleeuing
him
,
&
the
rather
because
he
carries
the
shape
of
an
honest
man
in
shew
,
and
of
a
Gentleman
in
his
apparrell
)
are
liberall
of
their
purses
,
lending
him
money
to
beare
him
on
his
iourney
,
to
pay
which
he
offers
either
his
bill
or
bond
(
naming
his
lodging
in
London
)
or
giues
his
word
(
as
hée
s
a
Gentleman
,
which
they
rather
take
,
knowing
the
like
misfortūe
may
be
theirs
at
any
time
.
And
thus
with
the
feathers
of
other
birdes
,
is
this
Monster
stuck
,
making
wings
of
sundry
fashions
,
with
which
he
thus
basely
flies
ouer
a
whole
kingdom
.
Thus
doth
he
ride
from
Towne
to
Towne
,
from
Citty
to
City
as
if
he
were
a
Lād-lord
in
euery
shire
and
that
he
were
to
gather
Rents
vp
of
none
but
Gentlemen
.
There
is
a
Twin-brother
to
this
False
galloper
,
and
hee
cheats
Inne-keepers
onely
,
or
their
Tapsters
,
by
learning
first
what
Country-men
they
are
,
and
of
what
kindred
:
and
then
bringing
counterfeit
letters
of
commendations
from
such
an
Uncle
,
or
such
a
Coozen
(
wherin
is
requested
,
that
the
Bearer
thereof
may
bee
vsed
kindely
)
hee
lyes
in
the
Iune
till
he
haue
fetcht
ouer
the
Maister
or
Seruant
for
some
mony
(
to

whome
to
him
he
hath
many

)
and
when

,
vnder

Our

diues
,
and
is
neuer
seene
to

againe
in

Uppon
this
Scaffold
,
also
might
be
mounted
a
number
of
Quack-saluing
Empericks
,
who
ariuing
in
some
Country
towne
,
clappe
vp
their
Terrible
Billes
,
in
the
Market-place
,
and
filling
the
Paper
with
such
horrible
names
of
diseases
,
as
if
euery
disease
were
a
Diuell
,
and
that
they
could
coniure
them
out
of
any
Towne
at
their
pleasure
.
Yet
these
Beggerly
Mountibancks
are
meate
Coozeners
,
and
haue
not
so
much
skill
as
Horsele●es
.
The
poore

to

to
be
cured
of
any

but
rather
with
their

buying

Uppon

deserue

insteed
of
those
faire

which
they
hang

as
gay

to

Schollers
to

the
Tables
are
witten
with
sundry
kindes
of

,
but
not
one
finger
of
those

(
not

drops

These

bragge

so
much

of

In
foure

kéepe
such

SIr
Lancelot
of
the
infernall
Lake
,
or
the
Knight
Errant
of
Hell
,
hauing
thus
(
like
a
yong
country
gentleman
)
gone
round
about
the
Citty
,
to
see
the
sights
not
onely
within
the
walles
but
those
also
in
the
Subburbes
,
was
glad
when
hee
sawe
〈◊〉
hauing
put
on
the
vizard
that
Hell
lends
her
(
cald
darkenes
to
leap
in
to
her
Coach
)
because
now
he
knew
he
should
meete
with
other
strange
birdes
and
beasts
fluttring
from
their
nests
,
and
crawling
out
of
their
dennes
.
His
prognostication
held
currant
,
and
the
foule-weather
(
which
hee
fore-told
,
)
fell
out
accordingly
.
For
Candle-light
ha●
scarce
opend
his
eye
(
to
looke
at
the
Citty
like
a
gunner
shooting
at
a
marke
,
)
but
fearefully
(
their
feet
trembling
vnder
thē
)
their
●es
suspitiously
rouling
from
euery
nooke
to
nooke
round
about
them
,
&
their
heads
(
as
if
they
stood
vppon
oyled
shrewes
)
still
turning
back
behinde
them
,
came
créeping
out
of
hollow-trées
,
where
they
lay
hidden
,
a
number
of
couzning
Bankrupts
in
the
shapes
of
Owles
,
who
when
the
Marshall
of
light
,
the
sunne
,
went
vp
and
downe
to
search
the
Citty
,
durst
not
stir
abroad
,
for
feare
of
●éeing
houted
at
and
followed
by
whole
flockes
of
vndon
creditors
.
But
now
when
the
stage
of
the
world
was
hung
in
blacke
,
they
ietted
vppe
&
downe
like
proud
Tragedians
O
what
thankes
they
gaue
to
Darknesse
!
what
*
songes
they
balladed
out
in
praise
of
Night
,
for
bestowing
vpon
them
so
excellent
a
cleake
wherein
they
might
so
safely
walke
muftled
!
Now
durst
they
,
as
if
they
had
beene
Constables
,
rappe
alowd
at
the
dores
of
those
to
whom
they
owed
most
money
,
&
braue
them
with
hie
wordes
,
tho
they
payd
them
not
a
penny
.
Now
did
they
boldly
step
into
some
priuiledged
Tauerne
,
and
there
drinke
healthes
,
dance
with
Harlets
,
&
pay
both
Drawers
and
Fidlers
after
mid-night
with
other
mens
money
,
&
then
march
home
againe
fearelesse
of
the
blowes
that
any
showlder-clapper
durst
giuethē
.
Out
of
another
Nest
flew
certaine
Murderers
and
Theeues
in
the
shapes
of
Skreech-owles
,
who
,
being
set
on
by
the
Night
,
did
beate
with
their
bold
and
vēturous
fatall
wings
at
the
very
dores
whereas
,
informer
times
,
their
villanies
had
entred
.
Not

frō
These
,
came
crawling
out
of
their
bushes
a
company
of
graue
&
wealthy
Lechers
in
the
shapes
of
Glowe-wormes
,
who
with
gold
,
Iyngling
in
their
pockets
,
made
such
a
shew
in
the
night
,
that
the
dores
of
Common
Brothelryes
flew
open
to
receiue
them
,
the
in
the
day
time
they
durst
not
passe
that
way
,
for
seate
that
noted
Curtizans
should
challenge
them
of
acquaintance
,
or
that
others
should
laugh
at
them
to
see
white
heads
growing
vpon
greene
stalkes
.
Then
came
forth
certaine
infamou●
earthy
minded
Creatures
in
the
shapes
of
Snailes
,
who
all
the
day
time
hyding
their
heads
in
their
shells
,
lea●
b●ies
should
w
e
two
fingers
point
at
them
for
liuing
b●ly
vpō
the
prostitutiō
of
their
wiues
bodies
,
cared
not
now
,
before
candle-light
,
to
shoote
out
their
largest
&
longest
Hornes
.
A
number
of
other
monsters
,
like
These
,
were
seene
(
as
the
sunne
went
downe
)
to
venture
from
their
dēnes
,
only
to
ingender
with
Darknesse
:
but
candle-lights
eye-sight
growing
dimmer
&
dimmer
,
and
hée
at
last
falling
starke
blind
,
Lucifers
Watch-man
went
strumbling
vp
and
down
in
the
darke
.
How
to
weane
Horses
.
EUery
dore
on
a
sudden
was
shut
,
not
a
candle
stood
peeping
through
any
window
,
not
a
Vintner
was
to
be
séene
brewing
in
his
Cellor
,
not
a
drunkerd
to
be
met
réeling
,
not
a
Mouse
to
be
heard
stiring
:
al
the
Citty
shewed
like
one
Bed
,
for
all
in
that
Bed
were
soūdly
cast
into
a
●éepe
.
Noyse
made
no
noise
,
for
euery
one
that
wrought
with
the
hāmer
was
put
to
silence
.
Yet
notwithstāding
when
euen
the
Diuel
himselfe
could
haue
béene
contēted
to
take
a
nap
,
there
were
few
Inkeepers
about
the
towne
but
had
their
spirits
walking
.
To
watch
which
spirits
what
they
did
,
our
Spy
,
that
came
lately
out
of
the
Lowercountries
,
stole
into
one
of
their
Circles
,
where
lucking
very
closely
,
hée
perceiued
the
whē
all
the
guests
were
profoundly
sleeping
,
when
Cariers
were
soundly
snorting
,
&
not
so
much
as
the
Chamberlaine
of
the
house
but
was
layd
vp
,
suddenly
out
of
his
bed
started
an
Hostler
.
who
hauing
no
apparell
on
but
his
shirt
,
a
paire
of
slip-shooes
on
his
feete
,
and
a
Candle
burning
in
his
hand
like
olde
Ieronimo
step'd
into
the
stable
amōgst
a
number
of
poore
hungry
Iades
,
as
if
that
night
he
had
beene
to
ride
poast
to
the
Diuell
.
But
his
iorney
not
lying
that
way
till
some
other
time
,
he
neither
bridled
nor
sadled
any
of
his
foure-footed
guests
that
stood
there
at
racke
and
manger
,
but
seeing
them
so
late
at
supper
,
and
knowing
that
to
ouer-eate
them-selues
would
fill
them
full
of
diseases
,
(
they
being
subiect
to
aboue
a
hundred
&
thirty
already
)
hée
first
(
without
a
voyder
)
after
a
most
vnmanerly
fashion
tooke
away
,
not
onely
all
the
Prouander
that
was
set
before
them
,
but
also
all
the
hay
,
at
which
before
they
were
glad
to
lick
their
lippes
.
The
poore
Horses
looked
very
rufully
vpon
him
for
this
,
but
hee
rubbing
their
teeth
onely
with
the
end
of
a
Candle
(
in
steed
of
a
Cortall
)
tolde
them
,
that
for
their
Iadish
trickes
it
was
now
time
to
weane
them
:
And
so
wishing
them
not
to
bee
angry
if
they
lay
vpon
the
hard
boards
,
cōsidering
all
the
beddes
in
the
house
were
full
,
back
againe
hee
stole
to
his
Coach
,
till
breake
of
day
:
yet
fearing
least
the
sunne
should
rise
to
discouer
his
knauery
,
vp
hee
started
,
&
into
the
stable
he
stumbled
,
scarce
halfe
awake
,
giuing
to
euery
Iade
a
bottle
of
hay
for
his
breake-fast
,
but
al
of
them
being
troubled
w
e
the
greazy
tooth-ach
,
could
eate
none
,
which
their
maisters
in
the
●ing
espying
swore
they
were
either
fullen
or
els
that
prouender
pricked
them
.
This
Hostler
for
this
peece
of
seruice
was
afterwards
preferred
to
be
one
of
the
Groomes
in
Belzebubs
stable
.
Another
Night-peece
drawne
in
sundry
collours
.
SHall
I
shew
you
what
other
bottomes
of
mischiefe
,
Plutos
Beadle
saw
wound
vpon
the
blacke
spindels
of
the
Night
,
in
this
his
priuy
search
?
In
some
streetes
he
met
Mid-w●ies
running
,
till
they
sweat
,
&
following
them
close
at
hecles
,
he
spied
them
to
be
let
in
,
at
the
backe
dores
of
houses
,
seated
either
in
blind
lanes
,
or
in
by-gardens
:
which
houses
had
roomes
builded
for
the
purpose
,
where
young
Maides
,
being
bigge
with
child
by
vnlawful
Fathers
,
or
young
wiues
(
in
their
husbands
abscence
at
sea
,
or
in
the
warres
)
hauing
wrastled
with
batchilers
or
maried
men
,
til
they
caught
falls
,
lay
safely
til
they
wer
deliuered
of
them
.
And
for
reasonable
summes
of
mony
,
the
bastards
that
at
these
windows
crept
into
the
world
,
were
as
closely
now
and
then
sent
presently
out
of
the
*
world
,
or
els
were
so
vnmannerly
brought
vp
,
that
they
neuer
spake
to
their
owne
parents
that
begot
them
.
In
some
streetes
he
met
seruants
in
whose
brest
albeit
the
arrowes
of
the
plague
stuck
halfe
way
,
yet
by
cruell
maisters
were
they
driuen
out
of
dores
at
mid-night
and
conuaid
to
Garden-houses
,
where
they
either
died
before
next
morning
,
or
else
were
carried
thither
dead
in
their
coffins
as
tho
they
had
lien
sicke
there
before
and
there
had
dyed
.
Now
and
then
at
the
corner
of
a
turning
hee
spyed
seruants
purloyning
fardels
of
their
maisters
goods
,
and
deliuering
them
to
the
hands
of
common
strumpets
.
This
dore
opend
,
and
Lust
with
Prodigality
were
heard
to
stand
closely
kissing
:
and
(
wringing
one
another
by
the
hand
)
softly
to
whisper
out
foure
of
fiue
good-nights
,
till
they
met
abroad
the
next
morning
.
A
thousand
of
these
comedies
were
acted
in
dumb
shew
,
and
onely
in
the
priuat
houses
:
at
which
the
Diuells
messenger
laught
so
loud
that
Hell
heard
him
,
and
for
ioy
range
foorth
loude
and
lustie
Plaudities
.
But
beeing
driuen
into
wonder
why
the
night
would
fall
in
labour
,
and
bring
foorth
so
many
Uillantes
,
whose
births
she
practised
to
couer
(
as
she
had
reason
)
because
so
many
watchmen
were
co●tinually
called
and
charged
to
haue
an
eye
to
her
dooings
,
at
length
he
perceiued
that
Bats
(
more
vgly
and
more
in
number
then
these
)
might
flye
vp
and
downe
in
darkenesse
:
for
tho
with
their
Letherne
Wings
they
should
strike
the
verry
billes
out
of
those
Watchmens
handes
,
such
leaden
plummets
were
commōly
hung
by
sleepe
at
all
their
eyelids
,
that
hardly
they
could
be
awakned
to
strike
them
agen
.
On
therefore
he
walkes
,
with
intent
to
hasten
home
,
as
hauing
fil'd
his
Table
Bookes
with
sufficient
notes
of
intelligence
.
But
,
at
the
last
,
meeting
with
the
Bell-man
,
and
not
knowing
what
he
was
because
he
went
without
his
Lanthorne
and
some
other
implements
:
for
the
man
in
the
Moone
was
vp
the
most
part
of
the
night
and
lighted
him
which
way
soeuer
he
turned
,
he
tooke
him
for
some
churlish
Hobgoblin
,
seeing
a
long
staffe
on
his
necke
,
and
therefore
to
be
one
of
his
owne
fellowes
.
The
Bel-ringer
Smelling
what
strong
scent
he
had
in
his
nose
,
soothed
him
vp
,
and
questioning
with
him
how
he
had
spent
his
time
in
the
citty
,
and
what
discouery
of
Land-villanies
he
had
made
in
this
Iland
voiage
:
the
Mariner
of
hell
,
opened
his
chart
,
which
he
had
linedwith
all
abuseslying
either
East
,
West
,
North
,
or
South
:
he
shewed
how
he
had
pricked
it
,
vpon
what
points
he
had
saild
,
where
he
put
in
:
vnder
what
height
he
kept
him-selfe
:
where
he
went
a
shore
,
what
strāge
people
he
met
:
what
land
he
had
discouered
,
and
what
commodities
he
was
laden
with
from
thēce
.
Of
all
which
the
Bell-man
drawing
forth
a
perfect
Map
,
they
parted
:
which
Map
he
hath
set
out
in
such
collors
as
you
see
,
tho
not
with
such
cunning
as
he
could
wish
:
the
paines
are
his
owne
,
the
pleasure
,
if
this
can
yeelde
any
pleasure
,
onely
yours
,
on
whome
he
bestowes
it
:
to
him
that
embraceth
his
labours
,
he
dedicats
both
them
and
his
loue
:
with
him
that
either
knowes
not
how
,
or
cares
not
to
entertaine
them
,
he
will
not
be
angry
,
but
onely
to
Him
sayes
thus
much
for
a
farrewell
.
