To
the
READER
.
Reader
,
YOU
have
here
the
Life
,
Pranks
,
and
Death
of
one
of
the
most
unparallel'd
Thieves
in
these
our
dayes
,
as
it
was
partly
delivered
by
himself
,
and
partly
by
others
that
were
conversant
with
him
in
his
Life
.
I
have
forborn
to
tell
you
his
petty
Thieveries
:
but
because
there
is
one
,
which
being
his
first
,
and
as
it
were
a
Prologue
to
his
former
Actions
,
I
shall
insert
it
here
;
and
thus
it
was
:
Being
in
the
Market-place
,
where
there
sate
a
Woman
selling
Puddings
,
he
spies
her
,
steps
unto
her
,
and
feigning
himself
desiring
for
to
buy
,
asks
her
the
price
,
she
told
him
;
but
speaking
to
another
Customer
,
he
in
the
interim
slips
as
many
as
handsomely
he
could
into
his
codpiece
,
which
having
done
,
told
the
Woman
,
He
would
not
give
so
much
;
and
thereupon
left
her
.
Upon
this
good
success
,
taking
himself
to
be
one
of
Fortunes
Favourites
,
he
frequently
comes
to
Market
:
insomuch
,
that
by
degrees
,
from
robbing
of
a
Stall
,
he
comes
to
rob
a
Shop
;
from
a
Shop
,
to
rob
a
House
;
and
from
a
House
,
even
to
dare
to
rob
the
Court
:
until
his
doings
did
at
last
undoe
him
.
Whether
it
was
more
for
need
,
or
more
to
covet
other
Mens
applause
,
that
thus
he
lived
,
I
question
which
.
But
such
is
the
Policy
of
the
Devil
,
that
plotting
to
undermine
the
frailty
of
a
Wretch
,
he
shews
him
what
it
is
to
be
admir'd
;
this
spurs
him
on
with
a
conceit
of
acting
something
that
may
make
him
famous
:
of
which
he
runs
the
hazard
,
and
at
last
is
taken
:
for
so
the
custome
of
the
Devil
is
,
When
he
hath
brought
one
in
a
dangerous
way
,
to
leave
him
in
the
wolvish
jaws
of
death
.
Thus
hath
the
wings
of
Fame
flown
away
with
many
,
that
not
onely
might
have
liv'd
in
the
Callings
wherein
they
were
educated
,
and
contentedly
;
but
died
peaceably
,
and
so
have
liv'd
,
as
not
to
fear
to
die
,
and
took
the
easier
way
to
Heaven
,
viz.
in
a
Feather-Bed
,
and
not
a
S●ring
.
I
shall
not
stay
you
any
longer
at
the
door
,
which
being
open
,
you
may
enter
,
and
view
the
grandest
Thief
in
Europe
:
but
give
me
leave
,
before
you
wander
further
,
to
give
you
a
true
account
of
what
he
left
behinde
him
on
the
Ladder
.
The
Speech
and
Confession
of
Mr.
Richard
Hainam
,
on
Tuesday
last
in
the
rounds
of
Smithfield
,
immediately
before
his
fatal
Leap
from
off
the
Ladder
.
ALthough
I
am
a
Prisoner
,
and
condemned
to
die
;
yet
I
cannot
but
retain
a
favourable
Construction
of
your
Proceedings
(
this
day
)
towards
me
;
presuming
,
that
you
will
not
deny
me
that
Liberty
due
to
all
Christians
,
from
Christian
Magistrates
,
wch
is
,
that
I
may
be
permitted
the
freedom
of
speech
to
clear
the
Innocent
(
at
this
my
hour
of
death
)
that
now
lie
accused
as
being
privy
to
my
Designs
,
and
Consederates
with
me
in
my
late
Actions
.
As
for
my
part
,
resolved
I
am
to
accuse
no
man
;
no
,
no
,
Gentlemen
,
I
abhor
the
Thought
,
much
less
the
Action
of
so
horrid
and
foul
a
Crime
;
and
on
the
contrary
,
am
as
willing
and
free
to
clear
those
that
are
accused
for
me
;
which
it
seems
is
my
poor
Landlord
and
and
Landlady
,
Mr.
Chamberlain
and
his
Wise
,
whose
hard
Face
and
cruel
Destiny
from
my
soul
I
pitty
,
as
much
as
my
own
,
and
do
protest
their
Innocency
in
all
respects
[
towards
me
]
whatsoeever
.
However
,
seeing
it
is
my
unhappy
fortune
,
to
end
my
dayes
upon
this
Gibbet
,
I
humbly
submit
to
the
Divine
Hand
of
Justice
,
and
desire
the
prayers
of
all
good
Christians
,
to
Almighty
God
,
earnestly
to
implore
a
Remission
of
all
my
sins
,
which
are
many
;
and
enable
me
to
fail
through
this
violent
Storm
and
Tempest
,
that
so
at
the
last
I
may
arrive
at
the
Haven
of
Happiness
,
there
to
cast
my
Anchor
of
Faith
,
and
lay
hold
on
my
Lord
God
:
and
so
farewel
,
farewel
unto
you
all
.
Then
turning
himself
about
,
Mr.
Clerk
the
Minister
of
New-Gate
spake
unto
him
by
way
of
Exhortation
;
and
after
him
one
Mr.
Tuke
;
unto
whom
he
was
very
attentive
,
&
seemed
to
have
a
very
relenting
Spirit
▪
&c.
But
the
hour
drawing
neer
,
he
was
commanded
up
the
Ladder
,
where
the
Executioner
sate
ready
to
do
his
Office
;
and
having
put
the
Rope
about
his
Neck
,
Mr.
Hainam
pulled
out
a
white
Cap
out
of
his
Pocket
,
and
giving
it
to
the
Executioner
,
he
put
it
on
the
said
Hainam's
head
,
and
after
that
his
mourning
Ribbon
that
he
wore
about
his
Hat
;
and
taking
out
his
File
which
he
had
hitherto
concealed
,
he
gave
it
to
Mr.
Brisco
,
(
of
which
you
shall
hear
more
hereafter
)
and
so
lifting
up
his
hands
to
Heaven
,
and
the
Executioner
laying
his
hand
upon
his
shoulder
,
(
which
was
the
sign
)
asking
if
he
was
ready
,
he
immediatly
leaped
off
on
the
left
side
,
uttering
these
words
,
Lord
have
mercy
upon
me
.

RICHARD
HAINAM
.
CHAP.
I.
Being
a
brief
Discourse
of
the
Life
and
Qualities
of
Richard
Hainam
.
HE
was
by
birth
an
English-man
,
descended
from
an
ancient
Family
,
and
instructed
in
the
rudiments
of
Learning
;
insomuch
,
that
at
the
Latine
Speech
he
proved
a
good
Proficient
:
and
had
likewise
gain'd
a
smack
of
divers
Languages
.
His
discourse
was
pleasant
,
savouring
much
of
Scholarship
and
Wit
;
so
that
whoever
saw
him
,
if
they
had
a
breast
that
▪
harbour'd
any
Christian
thoughts
,
would
either
pity
his
condition
,
or
admire
his
parts
.
He
was
ever
in
his
childhood
thus
addicted
,
counting
it
a
greater
credit
to
be
thought
wise
enough
to
cheat
,
then
honest
enough
to
hate
it
:
And
when
maturity
of
yeares
had
made
him
capable
of
a
greater
Game
,
he
findes
acquaintance
;
which
if
ill
,
like
Tarre
,
stick
where
they
touch
;
or
,
as
it
is
reported
of
the
Mermaids
,
sings
a
man
into
a
trance
,
till
he
dances
into
the
mouth
of
dangers
.
Thus
stepping
from
one
degree
of
Mischief
to
another
,
he
comes
to
be
acquainted
with
one
Allen
,
and
,
as
I
suppose
,
with
Hinde
;
which
Allen
,
being
a
Master
Thief
,
and
an
ingenious
Villain
,
would
oftentimes
rob
on
the
high-way
in
his
Coach
,
who
would
there
sit
in
the
habit
of
a
Bishop
,
while
his
men
,
which
were
the
actors
,
making
his
Coach
their
store-house
,
because
unsuspected
,
either
escape
,
or
putting
on
a
Livery
,
ride
by
his
side
in
the
nature
of
his
Servants
:
with
which
man
when
Hainam
came
to
be
acquainted
,
having
before
lost
the
Conscience
,
he
now
resolves
to
finde
out
all
the
customes
of
a
sinful
life
:
And
for
his
better
education
,
jonis
himself
to
a
band
of
other
Villains
;
who
seeing
him
a
forward
man
,
and
stout
,
were
as
much
desirous
of
his
company
,
as
he
was
before
ambitious
of
enjoying
theirs
.
With
these
having
now
accompanied
in
some
Exploits
,
it
was
as
difficult
to
fall
back
,
as
it
was
facile
to
begin
;
but
not
so
much
through
their
means
,
by
forcing
his
continuance
,
but
by
his
own
;
who
having
tasted
of
the
Devils
bait
,
and
prov'd
the
pleasure
that
he
found
in
sin
,
could
neither
by
intreaties
of
his
Friends
,
nor
the
instigations
of
abundance
more
,
be
disswaded
from
his
wicked
courses
.
Nay
,
had
he
seen
the
Torments
of
a
damned
Soul
pictured
before
his
face
,
or
if
it
might
be
possible
,
the
gates
of
their
infernal
habitations
opened
to
him
,
where
he
might
behold
the
Usurer
choak'd
with
his
Molten
Gold
;
the
Fornicators
,
and
those
wretched
souls
,
that
have
worn
out
sheets
of
lawless
Lusts
,
upon
the
Rack
of
steel
;
the
Murtherer
,
which
before
was
fill'd
with
blood
,
now
crying
,
water
,
water
,
to
quench
his
parched
thirst
;
or
the
Thief
,
with
nothing
left
him
but
his
Miseries
:
I
say
,
had
he
beheld
all
these
,
they
would
have
seem'd
but
fancies
to
him
,
and
no
more
have
touch'd
him
,
or
to
as
little
purpose
,
as
a
lighted
Match
does
Powder
when
't
is
wet
.
Notwithstanding
,
he
was
a
man
compleat
in
parts
and
person
;
had
he
had
grace
equal
to
his
other
endowments
,
he
had
been
the
Mirrour
of
the
Age
.
But
it
so
pleaseth
the
Almighty
wise
Creator
to
disperse
his
blessings
,
to
some
VVit
,
and
to
others
Vertue
;
without
which
,
a
mans
wisdome
is
but
a
deceiving
Guide
,
which
leads
him
to
the
fatal
Pit
,
as
it
did
this
man
,
helping
him
,
as
we
may
too
truly
say
,
to
a
dead
lift
,
and
only
served
for
a
varnish
to
his
villanies
,
teaching
him
how
to
glory
in
his
shame
;
as
if
it
were
a
Maxime
to
be
learned
,
That
he
that
feareth
not
to
sin
,
may
never
fear
to
shew
it
:
from
which
indeed
he
would
not
be
retarded
:
Nor
could
any
perswasions
be
so
prevalent
with
him
,
as
to
prove
an
obstacle
to
his
nimble
tongue
:
insomuch
that
he
would
often
boast
,
That
all
the
Prisons
in
England
,
Holland
,
and
elswhere
,
were
far
too
weak
to
hold
him
;
as
you
shall
more
plainly
perceive
in
the
Narration
here
ensuing
.
CHAP.
II.
How
Richard
Hainam
Robbed
the
Earl
of
Pembroke
.
HAving
by
his
wyles
screw'd
himself
into
the
acquaintance
of
Mr.
Herbert
,
one
of
the
Lords
Servants
:
for
his
several
courtesies
(
which
as
a
Prologue
to
his
Villanies
)
he
bestowed
on
the
said
Herbert
,
he
was
in
requital
invited
to
meet
him
at
his
Lords
;
at
which
time
Hainam
so
insinuated
himself
into
his
favour
,
that
a
while
after
,
nothing
could
be
done
without
the
others
advice
:
insomuch
,
that
coming
to
be
sensible
each
of
the
others
minde
,
it
was
suddenly
resolved
of
,
That
Hainam
should
appear
the
next
day
at
the
Lords
outward
Hall
,
where
he
assuredly
should
finde
Herbert
,
to
the
end
he
might
receive
instructions
for
the
conveying
away
of
the
Plate
after
Dinner
.
Now
was
the
Sop
fallen
into
the
Honey-pot
;
it
fell
out
as
pat
,
as
a
Pudding
for
a
Friars
mouth
.
Hainam
had
his
desire
,
and
Herbert
his
.
The
prefixt
time
,
when
come
,
Hainam
very
gallantly
attires
him
,
not
varying
half
an
hour
from
the
time
agreed
upon
,
but
repairs
to
the
Earl's
house
;
where
he
had
not
long
continued
,
but
it
was
notified
unto
him
,
that
the
Earl
had
dined
,
and
was
walking
from
one
end
of
the
Dining-room
to
the
other
,
till
the
Servants
had
dispatched
,
who
were
then
taking
off
the
wrinkles
from
their
bellies
;
and
moreover
,
that
the
Cloth
whereon
the
Earl
dined
,
was
taken
away
,
and
the
Voider
wherein
the
Plate
was
usually
put
,
was
set
upon
the
Cup-boards-head
.
Hainam
having
received
this
Intelligence
,
ascends
the
stairs
,
which
conducted
him
to
the
room
where
the
Plate
stood
,
and
where
the
Earl
was
walking
;
who
seeing
a
Gentleman
in
such
goodly
Equipage
,
and
supposing
him
to
be
a
Friend
to
some
Gentleman
belonging
to
the
house
,
he
courteously
salutes
him
with
a
Conjee
;
in
which
silent
complement
,
Hainam
returns
the
like
,
and
continued
walking
in
the
Room
.
The
Servants
seeing
a
Gentleman
walking
there
,
supposed
him
to
be
some
Nobleman
that
came
to
give
the
Earl
a
visit
.
In
this
manner
both
parties
were
mistaken
,
and
Hainam
watching
for
the
Lords
return
to
the
other
end
of
the
Room
(
which
was
somewhat
long
)
he
nimbly
whips
the
Voider
full
of
Plate
under
his
Cloak
,
to
the
value
of
fourscore
pounds
and
upwards
,
and
went
away
,
taking
his
journey
to
the
side
of
the
Bank
,
where
he
presently
melted
it
into
one
great
masse
.
The
Butler
,
according
to
his
custome
,
comes
to
fetch
the
Plate
,
which
he
found
missing
.
Then
every
one
was
questioned
,
but
in
vain
,
no
tidings
could
be
had
,
neither
of
the
Plate
nor
Thief
:
Then
the
Steward
gets
some
Bills
presently
printed
,
wherein
he
discovered
the
Lords
Arms
,
with
other
Marks
which
was
thereon
,
and
caused
them
to
be
carried
to
most
Goldsmiths
in
London
,
and
elswhere
,
but
to
no
purpose
;
insomuch
that
(
to
verifie
the
Proverb
,
He
that
hath
once
stollen
,
will
steal
again
)
the
former
Thief
was
induced
to
a
further
progresse
,
relying
much
upon
his
former
fortune
;
so
that
not
long
after
,
more
goods
were
wanting
:
and
whether
Heaven
pointed
out
the
author
,
I
leave
to
you
to
judge
;
but
the
Servants
having
some
suspition
of
Mr.
Herbert
,
caused
him
to
be
severely
questioned
,
who
was
so
ingenious
as
to
frame
no
other
answer
,
but
a
just
Confession
;
which
he
thus
enlarged
,
telling
them
,
That
he
had
a
sum
of
Money
of
Hainam
,
for
informing
him
of
the
customes
of
the
house
:
whereupon
,
Hainam
was
apprehended
,
but
in
a
short
time
following
,
by
leaping
over
a
wall
,
made
his
escape
,
taking
his
Leap
from
London
to
Rotterdam
.
CHAP.
III.
How
Richard
Hainam
Robbed
a
Merchant
in
Rotterdam
.
AFter
his
Villanies
had
made
England
too
hot
a
place
for
him
to
stay
his
foot
on
,
he
journeys
to
Rotterdam
;
where
being
arrived
in
fashion
of
a
Gallant
,
he
visits
an
eminent
Merchant
,
with
an
intent
seemingly
to
wooe
his
Daughter
.
The
Merchant
having
the
qualities
of
a
Gentleman
,
thought
he
could
not
in
civility
but
give
him
the
welcome
,
if
not
of
a
Son
,
yet
a
Friend
,
or
a
Gentleman
;
and
to
that
end
,
with
many
Complements
on
both
sides
,
urged
him
to
chuse
no
other
habitation
then
his
own
;
and
being
a
stranger
,
he
said
,
it
would
redound
much
as
well
to
his
benefit
as
conveniency
.
After
many
denyals
,
which
seemed
barely
of
a
complement
,
he
entertain'd
the
proffer
;
but
alledging
,
Nothing
could
more
disswade
him
,
then
the
small
hopes
he
had
of
his
gratuity
,
or
his
insussiciencies
of
requital
.
Having
been
now
entertained
,
rather
like
a
Prince
then
a
Picaro
,
with
all
the
dainties
of
a
furnish'd
Table
,
he
feigned
himself
inclinable
to
sleep
,
and
seemed
desirous
to
take
his
rest
;
and
to
that
end
,
was
conveyed
to
his
Chamber
,
where
he
lay
considering
of
his
intentions
,
till
the
folks
were
bedded
:
of
which
being
by
the
deadnesse
of
the
night
informed
,
he
softly
descends
the
stairs
,
and
ransacks
those
rooms
where
he
discovered
the
richest
prizes
;
and
having
made
up
a
weighty
pack
,
in
the
morning
betimes
he
forsakes
the
house
,
puts
on
another
sute
of
Apparel
,
and
in
that
case
passed
unsuspected
.
The
next
day
,
every
one
,
when
up
,
betakes
himself
to
his
usual
occupation
,
not
discovering
the
losse
of
any
thing
,
till
the
day
was
half-way
spent
:
Then
was
there
calling
from
one
to
another
,
Where
is
this
thing
,
and
where
is
that
?
Who
saw
the
silver-Tankerd
?
who
saw
my
Mistresse
best
Scarf
,
or
my
Masters
Gold
Hatband
?
Every
one
had
his
answer
ready
tuned
,
Not
I
,
sayes
one
;
Nor
I
,
sayes
another
;
Nor
I
,
sayes
a
third
:
which
sounded
basely
in
the
Master's
eares
.
But
at
eleven
of
the
clock
,
every
one
admiring
at
the
Gentleman
's
long
tarriance
in
his
Chamber
:
The
Merchant
sends
a
servant
to
enquire
his
health
;
who
when
he
was
at
the
door
,
having
no
acquaintance
with
his
Name
,
uses
no
other
phrase
then
Sir
;
which
after
his
often
pronouncing
,
he
found
no
eccho
:
he
assays
the
Chamber
,
which
he
findes
in
a
bare
condition
,
not
onely
destitute
of
its
new-come-guest
,
but
the
very
sheets
whereon
he
lay
,
which
were
no
mean
ones
:
Which
when
he
had
observed
,
he
acquaints
his
Master
with
,
who
needed
then
no
spurs
to
post
him
on
;
he
presently
pursues
him
,
by
the
description
of
his
habit
:
but
Hainam
had
made
a
shift
to
change
that
,
before
they
had
cloath'd
them
with
their
own
;
and
having
notice
that
he
was
pursued
,
thought
the
best
shelter
was
the
Merchants
own
house
,
for
there
none
would
seek
him
or
mistrust
him
.
Thither
he
goes
in
his
new-chang'd
habit
,
pretending
he
had
some
Commodities
to
sell
which
he
had
brought
from
England
,
and
would
desire
him
to
give
them
house-room
,
for
which
he
would
content
him
;
not-so-much
for
that
he
wanted
money
,
and
would
therefore
sell
them
,
but
because
he
esteemed
an
INNE
no
secure
place
to
lay
them
in
,
by
reason
it
was
free
to
all
comers
,
and
the
people
unknown
to
him
,
as
well
as
the
Merchant
;
but
having
a
good
opinion
of
him
,
he
would
wholly
relie
upon
his
worth
and
honesty
.
To
this
the
Merchant
willingly
consented
:
so
he
left
him
.
CHAP.
IV.
How
he
cheats
the
same
Merchant
of
Four
hundred
pounds
.
THe
next
day
he
sends
one
of
his
Companions
to
this
Merchant
,
whom
when
he
saw
,
he
told
him
,
His
business
to
him
was
about
his
Son
,
a
youth
which
then
he
had
with
him
,
who
he
would
desirously
have
to
reside
with
him
in
the
condition
of
a
Servant
:
And
having
intelligence
of
his
good
disposition
,
and
the
Trade
he
drove
,
he
would
not
spare
any
moneys
to
give
with
him
,
that
he
thought
might
in
reason
content
him
.
The
Merchant
greedy
of
gain
,
desired
him
to
leave
his
Son
,
that
they
might
have
some
experience
of
one
anothers
humours
;
which
he
did
,
and
went
his
way
.
About
a
week
after
,
Hainam
sends
for
this
youth
,
and
inquires
of
him
what
rich
Commodities
his
Master
had
in
his
Warehouse
;
who
having
narrowly
espied
,
gives
him
a
punctual
information
;
and
for
the
better
surety
,
brings
with
him
his
Masters
Shop-book
,
wherein
he
noted
what
he
usually
received
:
The
which
book
Hainam
peruses
,
and
finding
a
Note
of
several
Commodities
,
which
one
had
lately
left
with
the
Merchant
,
to
the
value
of
Four
hundred
pounds
,
he
writes
underneath
in
the
book
,
This
is
mine
.
And
having
an
excellent
faculty
in
counterfeiting
of
hands
,
he
writes
sutably
to
the
Merchants
own
fist
,
as
followeth
,
Left
with
me
by
such
a
one
(
framing
an
English
Name
)
on
such
a
day
,
such
and
such
Wares
,
delivered
in
the
presence
of
F.
M.
and
P.
D.
Which
F.
M.
and
P.
D.
were
the
one
the
Merchants
man
,
the
other
Hainams
;
both
of
which
under-write
their
hands
;
and
moreover
,
makes
a
small
Note
in
a
piece
of
loose
paper
,
expressing
the
same
words
:
which
Note
he
orders
the
youth
at
his
best
opportunity
to
convey
into
his
Masters
cabinet
;
and
with
some
other
instructions
he
took
his
leave
.
The
youth
return'd
with
the
book
to
his
Masters
home
,
where
he
had
not
long
been
,
but
Hainam
comes
and
enquires
for
his
Master
,
who
being
then
within
hearing
,
runs
out
to
him
,
as
supposing
he
had
brought
those
things
he
told
him
of
:
But
contrariwise
,
Hainam
demands
of
him
some
of
those
commodities
he
left
with
him
about
a
week
since
:
The
Merchant
was
amazed
,
and
asked
him
what
he
meant
:
he
answered
,
To
have
his
goods
.
Quoth
the
Merchant
,
I
have
no
goods
of
yours
in
my
hands
.
No
▪
quoth
Hainam
,
sure
you
have
,
Sir
;
you
cannot
forget
so
soon
.
Quoth
the
Merchant
,
You
were
with
me
,
and
told
me
that
you
had
goods
,
and
would
send
them
in
,
but
I
received
none
:
No
?
quoth
he
,
this
shall
not
suffice
,
I
have
my
Witnesse
of
it
:
therefore
let
me
have
my
goods
by
fair
means
,
or
I
shall
publish
your
Knaveries
,
to
the
cracking
of
that
little
credit
you
have
in
other
places
.
But
the
Merchant
still
persisted
,
crying
,
He
saw
not
his
goods
:
Insomuch
that
Hainam
fetcheth
Officers
,
endeavouring
to
force
them
from
him
.
When
the
Officers
were
come
,
the
Neighbors
likewise
crowded
in
,
every
one
giving
a
fair
character
of
the
Merchant
.
But
after
pro
and
con
a
long
while
,
nothing
could
be
done
,
the
one
pleading
as
ignorantly
,
as
the
other
impudently
.
Then
they
examine
Witnesses
,
who
both
confirm'd
it
:
the
Merchants
man
said
,
that
he
by
his
Masters
order
set
his
hand
to
such
a
Bill
;
so
said
Hainams
Servant
.
Then
did
the
Merchant
stamp
as
if
he
was
mad
,
swearing
they
had
a
plot
to
Rob
him
;
and
were
they
examined
,
he
feared
he
should
finde
some
of
them
guilty
of
his
late
losse
,
occasioned
by
the
subtile
trick
of
his
counterfeit
Son-in-law
.
But
Hainam
having
now
the
voyce
of
all
the
people
there
,
who
cryed
,
he
was
the
Owner
,
it
was
plain
;
he
sends
for
one
of
the
chief
men
in
Authority
,
to
whom
they
stated
the
case
,
who
admired
at
the
Merchants
stubbornnesse
,
that
was
so
lately
reputed
such
an
honest
men
;
and
willed
Hainam
to
open
what
Chests
he
pleased
;
and
if
in
case
he
would
not
deliver
the
Keyes
,
to
force
them
open
.
Nay
,
quoth
Hainam
,
for
a
further
confirmation
,
view
his
day-book
,
where
if
he
hath
not
cross'd
it
out
,
you
shall
see
his
own
hand
,
his
servants
hand
,
and
my
servants
;
so
that
were
he
the
veriest
Knave
in
the
world
,
there
could
be
no
shifting
of
it
:
So
reaches
the
Book
over
,
which
he
looks
,
and
at
last
findes
the
Wares
written
in
a
hand
which
the
Merchant
could
not
deny
but
he
should
know
,
but
avowed
he
was
ignorant
of
its
coming
there
.
Then
the
Witnesses
were
asked
,
Whether
they
knew
those
hands
?
who
both
answered
,
They
were
their
own
:
insomuch
that
they
wanted
little
of
either
making
the
man
mad
,
or
perswaded
him
he
had
been
so
.
And
further
,
says
Hainam
,
if
you
will
please
to
cause
this
Desk
to
be
opened
,
I
question
not
but
you
shall
finde
another
Bill
of
the
Wares
,
which
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
he
lock'd
therein
.
The
Merchant
in
a
rage
replies
,
He
should
be
hang'd
for
a
cheating
Rogue
,
ere
he
should
look
in
his
Cabinet
or
Desk
;
he
would
not
open
it
:
Whereupon
,
the
Officers
broke
it
open
,
and
turning
over
some
papers
,
finde
this
same
Bill
:
Then
did
they
all
rail
upon
him
extreamly
;
who
,
poor
man
,
could
hardly
make
any
thing
audible
but
his
Tears
;
but
with
much
ado
would
cry
,
Pray
secure
him
,
for
I
know
he
hath
a
Familiar
:
This
must
needs
be
the
Devils
work
.
And
not
being
able
any
longer
to
withstand
the
Authority
of
the
Officers
,
he
suffered
all
the
goods
to
be
carried
away
,
and
with
them
discharged
his
house
of
such
an
unworthy
person
as
his
servant
,
who
he
sent
away
to
his
Father
,
and
never
heard
of
him
after
.
CHAP.
V.
How
he
robbed
the
Portugal
Ambassador
of
a
silver
Table
.
HAinam
with
his
full
bags
thought
it
now
high
time
to
be
gone
:
whereupon
taking
ship
,
he
comes
to
London
;
where
having
some
notice
of
the
rich
Attendance
,
with
the
Appurtenances
belonging
to
the
Portugal
Ambassador
then
resident
in
London
,
he
fits
himself
to
repair
unto
his
Lodgings
;
where
,
discerning
a
small
Table
of
pure
silver
,
which
served
onely
as
an
ornament
to
the
Room
wherein
it
stood
,
he
presently
contrives
his
plot
to
steal
it
,
and
never
wanted
some
to
assist
him
:
He
sends
a
discreet
young
man
into
the
room
,
to
speak
with
a
Gentleman
which
was
there
walking
;
which
man
was
to
pretend
some
occasional
businesse
,
as
he
did
:
but
what
it
was
,
I
am
ignorant
of
.
The
man
being
entred
the
Room
in
a
gay
Sute
,
Gallant-like
,
salutes
the
Gentleman
,
and
begins
to
frame
his
discourse
,
which
he
continued
,
walking
with
him
from
one
end
of
the
Room
to
the
other
;
who
had
no
sooner
turned
his
back
,
but
Hainam
following
of
him
,
nimbly
conveys
the
silver
Table
under
his
Cloak
,
and
stands
at
the
door
as
he
did
formerly
:
His
Companion
seeing
the
Table
gone
,
and
walking
on
that
side
whereon
it
stood
,
shadowed
the
vacant
place
thereof
(
from
the
Gentlemans
sight
)
with
his
body
as
he
walked
;
and
being
come
to
the
door
where
Hainam
stood
with
the
Table
,
he
steps
forth
,
pretending
to
have
somewhat
to
say
to
Hainam
concerning
their
discourse
,
and
willed
the
Gentleman
to
step
forth
with
him
.
Not
many
words
passed
,
till
Hainam
watching
his
fit
time
,
tells
them
he
would
go
call
his
friend
which
waited
without
for
their
return
:
but
when
he
was
half
way
down
,
his
Companion
calls
after
him
by
a
devised
Name
;
and
meeting
on
the
middle
of
the
stairs
,
they
both
call
to
the
Gentleman
whom
they
found
walking
,
who
not
knowing
but
that
they
might
have
some
real
business
with
him
,
goes
unto
them
;
and
being
come
,
they
joyntly
tell
him
,
That
about
an
hour
after
that
time
,
he
might
expect
their
return
,
and
then
a
fuller
account
of
their
business
.
Having
thus
said
,
they
leave
him
,
who
returned
to
his
former
walk
;
and
immediately
missing
the
silver
Table
,
did
mistrust
them
for
the
Thieves
that
had
stollen
it
:
But
before
he
could
get
down
stairs
,
they
were
gotten
clearly
out
of
sight
;
and
taking
ship
for
Paris
,
could
never
be
afterwards
heard
of
,
not
returning
to
finish
their
discourse
,
which
they
left
so
abruptly
,
that
the
Gentleman
did
say
,
it
was
the
pitifull'st
Tale
that
ever
he
had
heard
.
CHAP.

.
How
he
was
Imprisoned
at
Paris
,
but
escaped
.
HAinam
being
for
some
Exploits
in
Paris
imprisoned
in
the
Common
Goal
;
and
because
his
fact
was
great
,
as
for
robbing
a
French
Lord
,
he
was
guarded
with
a
load
of
iron
,
and
having
a
great
chain
about
his
middle
,
was
fastened
to
a
stake
,
which
for
the
said
purpose
was
drove
into
the
ground
:
but
Hainam
,
with
his
File
and
other
tools
,
being
his
Arts-master
,
easily
shook
off
all
his
shackles
,
and
by
main
force
,
like
a
second
Samson
,
rooted
up
the
post
from
out
the
ground
,
which
having
done
he
easily
escapes
.
CHAP.
VII
.
How
he
was
again
re-taken
;
with
the
manner
of
his
strange
escape
.
BUt
after
a
strict
inquiry
and
search
after
him
,
he
was
found
in
the
Chimney
of
a
neighboring
house
,
into
which
he
gets
,
having
not
time
to
make
a
further
flight
:
So
being
again
in
custody
,
he
was
suddenly
tryed
,
and
was
in
a
short
time
to
be
Executed
at
the
Mill
.
And
that
he
might
not
then
make
use
of
shifts
,
he
had
a
guard
of
Men
,
and
was
in
Chains
:
But
having
vowed
himself
a
Prisoner
to
his
Guard
,
and
that
he
would
not
stir
,
but
onely
use
his
mirth
and
frolicks
with
them
;
he
gives
them
drink
and
money
,
of
which
he
had
no
want
,
nor
they
,
so
long
as
he
continued
with
them
:
but
having
one
time
made
them
drunk
,
his
Chains
he
soon
unknit
;
which
he
with
ease
would
do
,
and
put
them
on
again
:
he
takes
three
Screws
,
with
which
he
used
to
ascend
a
house
,
by
thrusting
them
into
any
wall
of
stone
or
brick
;
which
so
easily
enter'd
,
that
in
a
short
time
he
would
end
his
purpose
.
One
of
these
Screws
he
takes
,
and
windes
it
into
the
Prison-wall
;
then
taking
another
,
with
which
he
does
the
same
a
step
above
the
former
,
and
so
a
third
;
and
by
these
Screws
got
up
unto
the
top
:
the
undermost
of
which
he
pulleth
forth
,
and
setteth
it
above
the
others
.
Being
almost
at
his
journeys
end
,
and
earger
to
have
his
Name
divulg'd
,
that
he
might
ride
upon
the
wings
of
Fame
,
he
calls
unto
the
Guard
;
one
of
which
with
much
ado
he
wakes
,
but
to
so
little
purpose
,
that
being
drunk
,
he
could
hardly
see
him
;
but
hearing
of
a
noise
,
cryed
out
in
French
,
Lye
still
,
you
drunken
Rogue
:
But
Hainam
,
not
taking
his
advice
,
he
makes
his
entrance
through
the
top
,
and
that
night
leaves
the
City
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
How
he
Robbed
the
King
of
France
.
HAving
been
at
the
charge
of
a
long
imprisonment
,
where
he
had
nothing
to
do
,
but
to
do
nothing
:
Let
us
now
take
him
in
his
wants
;
he
was
no
other
then
a
Rogue
in
Rags
:
but
having
an
itching
desire
to
a
better
estate
,
he
thus
bethinks
him
,
That
the
King
of
France
had
an
Exchequer
,
wherein
they
laid
several
great
sums
of
all
Coyns
throughout
the
world
,
to
the
end
that
any
Ambassadors
,
either
from
or
to
him
,
might
be
furnish'd
with
such
as
their
necessities
should
crave
.
Hainam
having
now
received
a
taste
of
this
same
Honey
,
thought
it
long
until
he
had
his
fill
;
and
having
provided
a
small
Screw
,
with
which
he
could
lift
any
thing
under
the
weight
of
Twenty
hundred
,
he
thus
repairs
to
Court
,
and
straightway
fell
to
action
;
and
with
such
efficacy
,
that
in
a
short
space
he
became
Master
of
more
then
he
could
master
:
for
having
unhing'd
six
doors
,
he
found
his
entrance
into
the
Exchequer
:
But
one
of
his
Companions
,
thinking
it
a
Christian
resolution
,
to
be
contented
with
a
little
,
if
got
by
a
frugal
honesty
,
in
hopes
of
a
reward
,
betrays
the
Plot
:
Whereupon
,
Hainam
was
search'd
for
,
who
taking
up
a
bag
of
some
French
Crowns
,
casts
it
to
the
other
end
of
the
Room
,
leaving
the
mouth
of
the
bag
something
loose
,
which
in
the
fall
made
such
a
noise
,
that
the
searchers
supposed
the
Thief
to
be
there
;
and
that
they
might
not
miss
him
,
ran
earnestly
to
the
place
where
they
judged
the
Thief
was
,
who
standing
in
a
corner
near
the
door
,
stole
forth
,
escaping
onely
with
the
gain
of
100
Pistolets
,
and
the
loss
of
abundance
more
he
might
have
had
:
by
the
help
of
which
,
he
,
with
some
others
,
got
a
speedy
transportment
unto
Bristol
.
CHAP.
IX
.
How
he
Robb'd
a
Merchant
in
Bristol
.
VVHere
he
,
with
some
of
his
Companions
,
perceiving
a
Goldsmiths
glass
which
stood
upon
the
stall
,
to
be
well-furnish'd
,
watched
their
opportunity
to
steal
it
,
which
one
night
they
thus
effected
:
The
shop
being
open
somewhat
beyond
the
hour
,
by
reason
of
a
Gentlemans
stepping
in
just
when
the
youth
was
going
to
remove
the
glass
;
which
Gentleman
was
purposely
sent
by
Hainam
to
cheapen
Rings
,
and
to
pretend
he
had
some
Gold
to
change
:
While
they
two
were
talking
,
in
comes
Hainam
,
and
asks
the
Apprentice
,
if
he
had
any
silver
Buttons
:
which
he
had
no
sooner
said
,
but
,
says
he
,
pointing
to
the
young
mans
face
,
you
have
a
spot
of
dirt
upon
your
Nose
;
and
therewithall
throws
a
handful
of
beaten
Pepper
in
his
eyes
:
which
while
the
young
man
was
wiping
out
,
away
goes
he
in
the
shop
with
the
box
of
Rings
,
and
Hainam
with
the
box
which
stood
upon
the
stall
.
All
which
,
when
the
youth
recovered
his
sight
,
he
presently
missed
;
and
calling
to
the
Neighbors
,
ran
to
overtake
them
,
that
way
which
by
the
noise
of
their
running
he
supposed
they
might
take
,
but
never
overtook
them
,
nor
heard
he
either
of
them
or
the
goods
.
CHAP.

How
being
taken
,
he
attempted
to
break
Prison
,
but
was
notably
prevented
.
HAinam
having
hitherto
escap'd
the
Sword
of
Justice
(
which
hung
over
his
head
,
and
was
ready
to
cut
the
thread
of
his
Mortality
)
dared
even
God
himself
,
as
if
heaven
were
too
high
,
and
earth
too
low
for
his
imperious
Minde
.
Having
sail'd
through
many
dangers
,
and
once
more
driven
on
the
Rock
that
split
his
Fortunes
,
he
was
safely
cast
upon
the
shore
at
Newgate
;
but
not
without
jeopardy
of
life
:
for
his
Accusations
tumbled
in
,
as
fast
as
he
was
loose
;
so
that
it
was
a
desperate
game
,
and
doubtful
,
nothing
to
be
expected
,
but
the
favour
of
a
speedy
death
.
But
in
the
nick
of
time
,
when
he
had
almost
shook
hands
with
the
world
,
his
active
brain
conceived
some
sparks
of
hope
,
arising
from
his
Keepers
sudden
visit
,
with
whom
he
stood
,
whether
to
discourse
with
him
,
or
with
his
Keyes
,
the
sequel
will
inform
you
.
But
so
it
was
,
no
sooner
was
his
Keeper
gone
,
but
he
having
kept
a
strong
remembrance
of
the
Wards
,
discharg'd
his
head
of
that
same
toyl
,
and
wrought
the
forms
in
some
few
ends
of
Candles
lying
by
him
;
which
he
had
no
sooner
done
,
but
delivered
it
to
a
friend
,
to
procure
a
Key
sutable
to
his
patern
;
which
accordingly
he
did
,
and
delivered
it
unto
him
,
by
the
help
of
which
he
attempted
to
force
the
Prison
locks
;
and
had
opened
some
,
insomuch
that
he
assayed
to
the
last
of
all
,
where
being
discovered
by
the
Keeper
,
he
was
unfortunately
prevented
,
and
with
greater
care
secured
for
the
future
.
CHAP.
XI
.
How
he
desperately
got
away
,
and
cunningly
deceives
the
Watch
.
BUt
all
the
care
which
could
be
used
or
thought
on
,
nor
all
the
locks
and
bars
which
could
be
made
,
were
strong
enough
to
hold
him
,
so
subtile
was
he
in
his
tricks
and
slights
,
that
he
would
break
the
iron
Chains
like
thread
,
as
lately
was
too
manifest
:
for
having
forc'd
his
way
through
many
barricadoes
,
he
gets
him
to
the
Leads
,
and
by
vertue
of
his
Coat
or
Cloak
,
which
he
tears
,
and
fastens
like
a
Cord
,
conveyed
himself
upon
the
neighboring
houses
,
and
by
a
leap
from
thence
into
the
street
;
in
which
adventure
he
shrewdly
hurt
his
Leg
:
but
dissembling
of
his
hurt
,
he
takes
him
to
the
Gate
,
thorow
which
he
was
to
enter
,
where
being
come
,
he
calls
unto
a
Watchman
,
and
in
the
best
drunken
phrase
he
had
,
desired
him
to
wait
upon
him
home
,
and
for
his
pains
a
shilling
should
reward
him
.
The
VVatchman
then
ambitious
of
the
office
,
not
onely
caused
the
VVicket
to
be
opened
,
but
supposing
him
to
be
much
in
drink
,
leads
him
towards
his
place
of
habitation
,
which
he
informed
them
was
on
Holborn-Hill
;
and
having
reach'd
the
Conduit
,
there
salutes
him
two
or
three
of
his
Companions
,
who
to
the
VVatchman
seemed
to
be
Sparks
;
but
having
entertained
a
short
discourse
,
they
offer
to
assist
him
on
his
way
,
and
to
that
end
liberally
discharge
his
former
guard
;
who
seeing
that
they
knew
him
,
went
his
way
,
not
doubting
any
thing
:
but
no
sooner
was
the
Watchman
gone
,
but
Hainam
was
conducted
to
a
place
where
there
was
a
horse
provided
for
him
,
on
which
he
mounts
,
rides
to
St.
Albans
,
and
was
by
a
Surgeon
there
,
cured
of
the
burthen
of
a
useless
Leg.

He
takes
a
Lodging
in
Essex
.
HAving
,
as
you
heard
,
escaped
out
of
Newgate
,
he
leaves
S.
Albans
,
and
journeys
into
Essex
;
where
he
there
takes
his
lodging
at
an
Alehouse
:
standing
at
the
door
one
day
,
when
his
Landlady
was
gone
to
Lees
about
some
business
,
a
Gentleman
coming
by
,
took
cognizance
of
him
;
but
Hainam
fearing
lest
he
would
betray
him
,
presently
runs
to
his
Chamber
;
the
door
of
which
being
lock'd
,
and
the
Key
missing
,
he
breaks
it
open
,
and
taking
out
400
l.
in
Gold
,
which
he
had
thither
brought
,
he
left
a
shilling
and
a
pound
of
Sugar
on
the
Table
to
satisfie
his
Landlady
,
and
departed
.

How
he
was
again
apprehended
,
and
the
manner
of
his
Escape
.
TO
prevent
the
designs
of
an
evil
fortune
,
he
thought
it
no
policy
to
stand
at
his
Lodging
to
consider
which
way
to
steer
his
course
;
therefore
hies
him
to
a
private
place
not
far
off
,
where
he
resolved
to
remove
to
Redriff
;
where
he
had
not
long
been
,
but
by
the
Constable
and
some
others
he
was
guarded
up
to
London
,
as
farre
as
to
Warwick-lane
:
where
being
,
at
the
end
,
within
sight
of
the
fatal
Colledge
,
he
made
a
proffer
to
escape
;
to
prevent
which
,
they
catch
hold
of
his
cloak
,
which
he
suddenly
unbuttoned
;
and
leaving
his
cloak
in
their
hands
,
very
fairly
escaped
.
CHAP.

.
How
he
Robbed
a
poor
man
,
and
delivered
him
his
Money
again
.
REsiding
now
in
London
,
he
was
informed
,
that
a
certain
man
at
Newington
had
in
his
house
some
moneys
lately
delivered
unto
him
,
which
he
attempted
to
seize
,
and
did
,
by
breaking
in
in
the
night
:
but
understanding
that
the
man
was
poor
,
and
the
sum
not
being
much
,
he
returns
it
him
again
(
after
the
good
mans
hard
intreaties
)
and
with
these
words
left
him
,
There
honest
man
,
take
your
Moneys
,
I
come
not
to
rob
the
poor
.

.
How
he
cheated
a
Goldsmith
in
Cheapside
.
ANother
time
he
provided
himself
of
rich
clothes
,
which
when
he
had
put
on
,
he
comes
to
a
Goldsmiths
in
Cheap-side
,
and
desired
to
see
some
Rings
,
and
of
the
best
,
by
reason
it
was
for
a
special
Friend
;
giving
them
to
understand
by
the
dumb
expressions
of
his
smiling
signes
,
that
it
was
to
be
bestowed
on
his
Lady
,
and
therefore
would
desire
him
to
shew
him
the
best
he
had
,
for
which
he
should
have
what
content
he
asked
.
The
Goldsmith
then
shews
him
divers
choyce
ones
,
but
above
all
,
one
very
rich
,
which
he
valued
at
the
rate
of
18
l.
This
Hainam
pitch'd
upon
,
and
calling
for
a
candle
and
some
wax
,
having
a
Letter
ready
writ
,
he
pretends
to
send
it
by
a
friend
,
who
that
night
was
to
leave
the
City
.
A
candle
was
brought
him
,
and
he
having
a
counterfeit
Ring
in
his
pocket
,
pulls
it
out
,
and
wraps
it
in
the
Letter
,
leaving
the
true
one
in
its
place
;
and
having
sealed
the
Letter
,
gives
it
to
the
young
man
of
the
shop
,
desiring
his
Master
to
let
him
carry
it
home
with
him
,
to
the
end
he
might
there
receive
his
Money
,
which
was
in
Pauls
Church-yard
;
which
was
without
any
suspition
easily
granted
:
so
forth
he
struts
,
with
the
Goldsmiths
man
following
him
;
who
being
come
to
Mr.
Corbets
the
Cooks
in
the
Church-yard
,
quoth
Hainam
,
Come
in
friend
;
and
being
in
the
house
,
he
called
for
a
cup
of
Beer
,
which
was
brought
;
he
drank
to
the
Goldsmith
,
and
when
done
,
tells
him
he
will
go
up
to
his
Chamber
and
fetch
his
Money
:
The
youth
thought
he
was
safe
enough
,
so
long
as
he
had
the
Ring
;
but
he
in
stead
of
going
for
the
Money
,
slips
out
of
door
,
and
was
never
heard
of
after
.
A
long
while
the
young
man
waited
,
but
no
Man
nor
Money
could
be
heard
of
;
insomuch
that
he
began
somewhat
to
fear
,
and
inquiring
of
the
house
for
him
,
they
cryed
,
They
knew
him
not
:
then
was
he
assured
of
his
loss
,
and
returning
home
,
opened
the
Letter
,
wherein
he
found
the
brass
Ring
,
and
no
other
writing
,
but
Set
this
to
the
account
of
your
constant
Customer

How
he
seized
an
English
Ship
,
and
sold
it
in
another
Countrey
for
1700
l.
THere
being
a
Knot
of
these
Blades
of
about
sixteen
in
Number
met
together
,
whereof
Hainam
and
one
Martin
were
the
chief
:
which
Martin
put
it
to
the
Vote
amongst
them
,
Whether
they
should
then
seize
on
such
a
ship
as
then
lay
in
the
River
;
which
,
it
being
resolved
on
,
and
to
that
purpose
hearing
the
ship
was
bound
for
France
,
they
in
two
dayes
time
coming
one
by
one
,
and
not
taking
any
cognizance
one
of
another
,
they
agree
with
the
Master
to
land
them
on
some
part
of
France
,
who
promised
he
would
:
but
having
lanched
forth
,
and
the
night
over-shadowed
the
Deep
,
when
most
of
the
Mariners
were
asleep
,
excepting
one
or
two
which
stayed
upon
the
Deck
,
who
upon
some
excuse
they
send
belowe
;
who
were
no
sooner
down
,
but
the
sixteen
appear
at
a
Watchword
among
them
,
and
locking
all
the
Seamen
under-Deck
,
carry
the
ship
to
France
;
where
disburthening
it
of
the
Men
,
and
such
Goods
as
there
was
,
they
in
a
short
time
following
sell
it
for
Seventeen
hundred
pounds
;
and
having
shared
the
Moneys
,
take
their
leaves
,
some
for
Spain
,
some
for
Denmark
,
and
some
for
England
:
where
,
in
process
of
time
,
Martin
,
and
two
or
three
more
were
apprehended
,
and
for
the
Fact
,
five
or
six
years
since
Bequeathed
their
Souls
to
God
,
and
their
Clothes
to
the
Common
Executioner

How
he
cozened
a
Gentleman
of
four
Jewels
.
HAinam
having
in
his
Voyages
gotten
some
acquaintance
with
a
Gentleman
,
to
whom
he
seemed
to
owe
abundance
of
respect
,
was
by
this
Gentleman
accidentally
met
in
the
street
;
and
that
they
might
renew
their
former
knowledge
,
was
by
the
Gentleman
invited
to
a
Dinner
.
Hainam
having
the
mischievous
engine
of
his
brain
in
continual
action
,
needed
no
double
invitation
,
but
promises
to
see
him
the
next
day
;
and
to
spend
some
time
with
him
,
in
the
relating
of
such
passages
,
which
in
his
travels
his
eyes
could
bear
him
witness
of
.
The
next
day
,
when
come
,
Hainam
goes
to
the
Gentlemans
house
,
where
he
was
entertained
in
a
plenteous
manner
,
with
Dishes
of
all
sorts
;
and
after
Dinner
,
the
Gentleman
shewed
him
the
Relicks
of
his
Travels
:
which
several
Toyes
,
with
some
Jewels
which
he
had
brought
with
him
;
four
of
which
Jewels
Hainam
in
a
trice
conveyed
between
the
two
crowns
of
his
Hat
,
which
he
had
made
for
such
like
purposes
:
the
Gentleman
little
mistrusting
him
,
but
thought
he
had
pull'd
off
his
hat
by
reason
of
the
heat
of
the
season
.
But
going
to
lay
every
thing
in
its
proper
place
,
the
Jewels
were
soon
mist
,
and
no body
being
there
but
the
Gentleman
and
Hainam
,
it
was
clear
enough
that
one
must
have
them
:
But
Hainam
rages
at
the
sudden
losse
,
and
freely
himself
urges
to
be
search'd
;
and
for
better
satisfaction
,
was
search'd
:
but
though
the
Jewels
could
not
be
found
,
the
Gentlemans
countenance
shewed
,
that
he
conceived
a
jealousie
of
Hainam
;
which
Hainam
taking
heinously
,
would
needs
be
gone
,
and
without
any
more
words
,
then
(
Farewel
you
and
your
Jewels
too
)
he
left
him
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
How
it
was
afterwards
known
,
that
Hainam
had
the
Jewels
.
THe
Gentleman
despairing
of
ever
finding
them
,
being
confident
that
none
but
Hainam
could
convey
them
thence
,
gets
some
printed
Bils
,
which
he
stuck
about
the
streets
,
and
left
at
Goldsmiths
shops
;
by
the
which
he
came
to
hear
of
one
,
and
consequently
of
all
the
Jewels
:
for
a
Gentleman
,
to
whom
Hainam
proffered
to
make
sail
of
one
of
the
Jewels
,
bought
it
at
an
easie
rate
;
and
seeing
those
Bills
,
which
directed
to
the
loosers
house
,
he
hyes
him
thither
,
and
shewing
the
Jewel
,
it
prov'd
the
right
;
so
that
the
Gentleman
very
honestly
returns
it
for
the
same
price
it
cost
him
;
and
after
the
description
of
the
Thief
appeared
evidently
to
be
Hainam
,
who
was
then
pursued
.
CHAP.

.
How
he
being
pursued
,
notably
escapes
,
and
puts
a
trick
upon
his
Wench
.
BEing
one
day
at
an
Alehouse
with
his
Wench
,
it
so
fell
out
,
that
the
Gentleman
which
bought
the
Jewel
of
him
came
by
,
and
seeing
him
,
went
and
fetched
Officers
to
apprehend
him
:
He
not
thinking
any
hurt
,
was
towards
dallying
with
his
Wench
;
and
for
her
Cut-Lemmon
,
agreed
to
give
her
one
of
those
Jewels
which
he
then
shewed
her
;
which
bargain
was
soon
finish'd
;
he
gives
her
the
Jewel
,
upon
which
while
she
was
looking
,
in
comes
the
Gentleman
with
the
Officers
,
who
when
they
saw
the
Lasse
having
the
Jewel
in
her
hand
,
tended
the
burthen
of
their
business
rather
towards
her
then
Hainam
;
who
in
the
interim
slips
aside
,
and
by
leaping
into
another
body's
house
,
currantly
escaped
,
leaving
his
true
Jewel
and
his
crack'd
one
behinde
him
;
who
(
that
we
may
not
digresse
from
the
point
in
hand
)
we
leave
in
the
custody
of
a
trusty
Prison
.

was
secured

not
to
know

his
wandring

carried
him
to
Germany

overtook
him

How
Hainam
and
his
complices
cozened
a
Merchant
of
London
of
300
l.
HAinam
taking
occasion
to
visit
a
Merchant
in
Marke-lane
,
under
pretence
of
some
businesse
he
had
with
him
from
a
Merchant
at
Cullen
,
from
whence
he
lately
came
.
The
Merchant
being
somewhat
busie
in
his
Counting
house
,
desired
by
his
man
,
that
the
Gentleman
who
attended
to
speak
with
him
,
would
be
pleased
to
come
to
him
thither
,
who
imediately
was
conducted
by
the
Merchants
servant
to
his
Master
;
where
after
some
ceremonies
,
Hainam
took
a
seat
,
and
so
they
fell
to
discourse
;
but
Hainam
who
had
setled
his
fancy
upon
something
more
pleasing
to
him
then
the
discourse
,
which
was
three
bags
of
money
which
lay
upon
the
Table
(
every
one
containing
100
l.
a
piece
)
and
eying
them
very
exactly
,
perceived
them
to
be
sealed
all
with
one
seal
;
and
leaving
no
stone
unturned
to
gain
his
enterprise
,
made
with
his
eye
a
diligent
search
to
finde
the
seal
lying
anywhere
in
the
Counting
house
,
but
not
perceiving
any
,
began
to
draw
to
a
conclusion
of
his
discourse
,
and
pretended
he
had
forgot
some
earnest
businesse
which
he
should
have
done
with
another
Merchant
a
neighbour
of
his
from
the
same
Merchant
at
Cullen
;
desires
to
be
excused
at
that
time
,
that
he
must
so
abruptly
break
off
their
discourse
,
and
he
would
wait
upon
him
at
some
other
time
;
the
Merchant
being
unwilling
he
should
part
without
the
civility
of
his
house
,
desired
him
with
many
complements
to
stay
and
drink
a
glasse
of
new
wine
,
which
with
a
great
many
complements
he
refused
,
but
at
last
yeelded
,
if
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
honour
him
with
his
company
to
the
Antwerp
Tavern
behind
the
Exchange
,
where
he
had
appointed
to
meet
with
the
neighbour
Merchant
.
At
last
they
both
concluded
so
to
do
;
but
Hainam
pretended
he
had
some
other
businesse
with
some
other
Gentlemen
at
another
place
,
which
he
would
only
write
a
line
or
two
to
them
,
not
to
expect
his
coming
at
that
time
,
but
would
give
them
directions
how
to
finish
their
businesse
themselves
;
and
so
desired
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
favour
him
with
a
piece
of
paper
,
and
a
pen
and
inke
,
with
which
he
was
presently
accommodated
;
wherein
he
took
occasion
to
write
to
one
of
his
men
that
waited
on
him
,
his
full
mind
about
the
premises
,
which
when
he
had
finished
,
he
desired
the
Merchant
to
lend
him
his
seal
to
seal
it
,
which
he
presently
took
out
of
his
pocket
(
it
being
a
seal
Ring
)
which
Hainam
well
observed
to
be
the
same
impression
with
the
seals
on
the
bags
of
money
,
with
which
he
was
well
pleased
,
then
he
made
presently
another
excuse
to
make
a
Postscript
to
his
Letter
of
some
thing
which
then
came
in
his
mind
;
which
he
did
,
adding
his
mind
further
how
he
had
projected
to
deceive
the
Merchant
of
300
l.
which
when
he
had
done
,
he
sealed
his
Letter
and
gave
to
one
of
his
attendants
,
and
bid
him
make
hast
with
it
,
and
bring
him
an
answer
to
the
Antwerp
Tavern
behind
the
Exchange
.
So
the
Merchant
having
received
his
seal
put
it
on
his
finger
,
and
left
his
Cashkeeper
in
his
Counting-house
,
and
to
the
Antwerp
they
went
;
where
they
had
not
long
been
,
but
falling
into
discourse
of
divers
businesses
,
came
at
last
to
businesses
of
Merchandizing
,
and
so
by
degrees
fell
to
praising
of
divers
rare
inventions
and
curious
workmanship
,
that
at
last
the
Merchant
came
to
praise
the
rare
workmanship
of
his
Ring
,
it
being
presented
him
from
the
Indies
rarely
graved
;
which
was
the
thing
Hainam
principally
aimed
at
to
discourse
of
.
Humbly
desired
him
he
would
be
pleased
to
let
him
see
it
,
which
the
Gentleman
willingly
assented
to
,
and
seriously
viewing
of
it
,
praised
the
rare
invention
of
the
Graver
,
that
had
exprest
an
Angell
ascending
into
the
Heavens
,
threatning
vengeance
(
as
was
expressed
by
a
flaming
sword
in
her
hand
)
to
a
man
underneath
her
,
adoring
the
Godesse
Pecunia
,
which
Hainam
exceedingly
admired
how
rarely
it
was
exprest
;
in
the
midst
of
this
admiration
,
his
man
whom
he
had
sent
with
the
pretended
Letter
came
in
and
desired
to
speak
privately
with
him
;
in
which
conference
Hainam
gave
his
man
an
account
of
what
he
should
do
for
the
gaining
the
three
bags
of
money
.
Which
was
thus
neatly
done
,
Sir
,
said
Hainam
,
I
cannot
but
admire
the
rare
invention
of
the
Graver
which
hath
done
it
so
exquisitly
that
no
hand
in
the
world
could
mend
it
,
nay
equall
it
.
Sirah
Franck
,
sayes
Hainam
to
his
man
,
do
you
know
Mr.
Richeson
the
Stonecutter
,
that
has
the
Stone
a
cutting
for
me
which
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
gave
me
;
Yes
and
please
your
Honour
answers
his
man
;
pretheee
go
to
him
and
bid
him
come
hither
presently
,
I
shall
and
please
your
Honour
.
Away
went
the
man
(
and
by
and
by
coming
again
,
as
before
the
plot
was
laid
)
told
his
Master
he
was
at
home
,
but
had
taken
Physick
that
day
,
and
was
in
no
capacity
to
go
abroad
.
I
am
sorry
for
that
,
sayes
Hainam
,
but
I
will
request
so
much
favour
of
this
Gentleman
as
to
lend
me
his
Ring
to
send
to
him
,
to
have
him
cut
mine
exactly
the
same
impression
as
is
this
,
so
much
sayes
he
,
I
am
pleased
with
the
fancy
.
Which
the
Gentleman
readily
did
;
and
so
Hainam
bid
him
make
hast
,
and
go
into
Mark-lane
and
bid
Mr.
T.
H.
come
to
him
presently
,
for
he
had
waited
there
two
houres
for
him
,
and
bid
the
Graver
take
an
exact
impression
,
but
bid
him
not
grave
his
stone
till
he
spake
with
himself
.
Away
went
his
man
,
being
not
a
little
pleased
to
see
that
he
was
like
to
possess
the
Merchants
silver
;
comes
to
the
Merchants
house
,
and
enquires
for
the
Cashkeeper
,
which
when
the
Cashkeeper
saw
him
,
knew
him
to
be
the
Gentlemans
man
that
went
out
with
his
Master
,
desired
to
know
his
businesse
,
he
told
him
his
Master
was
at
the
Antwerp
Tavern
behind
the
Exchange
,
and
had
sent
for
the
300
l.
upon
the
Table
in
the
Counting-house
sealed
with
his
Masters
seal
,
and
there
was
his
seal
;
which
when
the
man
saw
,
he
presently
delivered
the
money
and
sent
his
Master
the
Ring
again
.
And
the
man
for
fear
the
Merchants
man
should
profer
to
go
along
with
him
to
carry
the
money
,
told
him
,
his
Master
desired
him
to
perfect
▪
the
account
he
was
making
up
as
soon
as
he
could
,
and
desired
to
know
where
he
might
have
a
Porter
to
carry
the
money
;
one
was
called
,
so
away
they
went
together
into
Birtchir-lane
,
and
there
he
left
the
money
and
discharged
the
Porter
,
and
so
went
to
his
Master
and
carried
the
Merchant
his
Ring
,
and
told
his
Master
all
things
should
be
done
according
to
his
mind
;
and
also
that
the
Merchant
he
sent
him
to
,
was
gone
to
the
Pie
Tavern
at
Aldgate
with
some
other
Gentlemen
of
his
acquaintance
,
and
desired
he
would
be
pleased
presently
to
come
to
him
thither
,
which
he
seemed
to
be
angry
at
,
and
so
with
many
complements
at
the
last
called
for
a
reckoning
,
which
the
Merchant
would
needs
pay
,
and
so
parted
.
So
Hainam
and
his
man
went
into
Birtchin-lane
,
and
took
the
money
between
them
and
away
they
went
,
leaving
the
Merchant
to
the
protection
of
his
angry
Angell
,
while
Hainam
himself
adored
and
imbraced
the
Goddesse
Pecunia
.
CHAP.

.
How
Hainam
cheated
a
Draper
in
Gratious-street
,
never
heard
of
nor
ever
owned
by
the
Draper
,
but
confest
by
Hainam
to
a
friend
of
his
in
Newgate
.
HAinam
having
pincht
the
Cully
on
London
Bridge
of
a
small
piece
of
plate
,
conceived
he
was
pursued
,
hearing
some
noise
behind
him
,
which
was
occasioned
by
two
Butchers
dogs
in
Eastcheap
fastening
one
of
the
other
,
marched
forward
in
no
small
hast
;
but
perceiving
(
by
casting
his
eye
into
a
Drapers
shop
)
the
Master
of
the
shop
telling
forth
of
a
considerable
sum
of
money
,
stept
into
the
shop
,
and
presently
without
speaking
to
any
one
,
set
himself
down
on
a
stool
by
the
Counter
side
,
and
by
and
by
lookt
out
of
the
door
,
his
fear
of
being
pursued
being
over
,
cast
in
his
thoughts
how
he
might
be
possessed
of
those
glistering
faces
;
but
before
the
Gentleman
of
the
shop
had
done
telling
of
his
money
,
he
cast
his
eye
on
his
Customer
that
stood
attending
,
desiring
he
would
be
pleased
to
give
an
account
of
his
businesse
.
Sir
,
sayes
Hainam
,
I
am
loath
to
trouble
you
till
you
have
done
your
businesse
,
lest
you
in
minding
my
businesse
,
you
should
commit
an
error
in
telling
your
money
,
which
would
put
you
to
a
double
labour
to
tell
it
over
again
;
but
so
it
fell
out
,
the
Gentl●man
did
mistake
and
so
was
fain
to
tell
it
over
again
,
which
Hainam
eyed
very
diligently
;
insomuch
that
he
took
an
exact
account
(
by
his
telling
)
how
much
there
was
;
and
also
it
fell
out
,
that
there
was
a
parcell
of
about
14
thirteenpence
halfpennies
which
he
put
in
a
paper
by
themselves
,
and
noted
on
the
paper
how
many
there
was
,
which
Hainam
observed
,
and
when
the
Gentleman
had
done
,
he
put
the
rest
of
the
money
in
the
bag
,
and
also
the
paper
of
odd
monies
,
which
Hainam
well
noted
;
and
afterwards
the
Gentleman
took
a
piece
of
paper
and
writ
upon
it
the
value
of
it
,
which
was
70
and
odde
pounds
,
and
he
being
going
forth
of
Town
,
left
a
direction
upon
the
bag
who
he
would
have
it
payed
to
;
which
he
easily
observed
by
leaning
on
his
elbow
;
and
also
observed
where
he
laid
the
money
.
After
he
had
so
done
,
Hainam
began
to
speak
to
him
,
Sir
,
if
you
have
finished
,
I
shall
give
you
an
account
of
my
businesse
,
which
is
this
,
Sir
I
have
a
parcell
of
Calicoes
lately
come
from
the
Indies
,
which
indeed
I
can
sell
more
then
an
ordinary
penniworth
,
by
reason
we
had
them
freed
of
Custome
and
Excise
,
and
I
desire
to
deal
with
no
better
chapman
then
your self
,
being
acquainted
with
your
worth
and
ability
;
being
directed
to
you
by
Mr.
R.
B.
a
Broaker
upon
the
Exchange
,
to
whom
I
addrest
my self
unto
being
newly
come
into
England
,
who
advised
me
to
your self
;
and
so
it
fell
out
for
him
that
the
Gentleman
knew
the
Broaker
he
named
very
well
,
and
had
spoke
to
him
about
some
Calicoes
,
the
Gentleman
was
extreamly
desirous
to
drink
a
pint
of
wine
with
Hainam
,
but
he
refused
it
,
in
that
he
would
not
be
so
uncivill
as
to
hinder
his
journey
upon
so
small
an
account
;
but
at
last
to
the
Kings-head
in
Fishstreet
they
went
,
where
after
some
discourse
they
began
to
treat
of
their
bargain
,
and
the
Gentleman
desired
to
know
their
finenesse
,
and
about
what
prices
they
were
of
:
Sir
,
sayes
Hainam
,
I
come
not
Sir
to
make
you
a
price
of
them
here
,
but
Sir
be
pleased
to
come
to
one
Mr.
Harris
a
Merchant
,
well
known
in
little
More-fields
,
and
there
you
shall
hear
of
me
,
my
name
is
Denham
,
and
you
may
see
the
commodities
which
for
mine
own
part
I
have
no
great
judgment
in
,
but
your
friend
and
mine
Mr.
R.
B.
has
seen
them
,
and
I
parted
from
him
but
even
now
at
a
friend
house
here
hard
by
,
and
but
for
incivility
to
leave
you
alone
,
I
would
step
and
call
him
:
the
Gentleman
answers
his
complement
with
a
desire
to
step
for
him
.
Hainam
presently
steps
out
and
goes
to
the
Drapers
shop
,
and
goes
to
one
of
the
servants
and
desires
him
to
deliver
him
the
bag
of
money
in
such
a
place
,
marked
with
so
much
money
,
and
directed
for
Mr.
T.
S.
by
the
same
token
there
is
14
thirteenpence
halfpennies
in
a
piece
of
printed
paper
in
the
bag
,
which
the
fellow
opened
and
found
it
so
as
he
had
said
,
delivered
him
the
bag
.
Hainam
telling
him
he
met
the
Gentleman
that
was
to
have
the
money
at
the
Tavern
,
and
so
desired
him
to
fetch
it
by
that
token
.
Hainam
having
gotten
the
prize
safe
,
went
towards
F●shstreet
a
pace
,
and
going
along
pretended
to
make
water
at
the
Counduict
,
only
to
look
back
to
see
if
any
of
the
men
followed
him
;
and
casting
his
eye
suddenly
back
,
perceived
one
of
the
youths
to
stand
at
the
door
looking
that
way
,
which
Hainam
perceiving
after
he
had
done
,
marched
forward
his
usuall
pace
,
but
presently
started
back
again
,
and
goes
to
the
shop
again
,
and
perceiving
Customers
in
the
shop
buying
of
Cloth
,
tels
the
man
that
stood
at
the
door
,
he
had
forgot
one
thing
,
which
was
,
that
he
should
go
up
into
his
Masters
Chamber
,
and
in
the
window
he
should
finde
a
writing
sealed
,
which
he
should
bring
to
his
Master
presently
at
the
Kings-head
,
and
that
he
was
in
the
Room
called
the
Crown
,
and
if
he
found
it
not
in
the
window
,
he
should
find
it
somewhere
else
about
the
Chamber
;
presently
the
boy
went
to
look
the
writing
,
which
with
much
search
he
could
not
find
;
he
went
to
his
Master
,
telling
him
he
could
not
finde
the
writing
he
sent
for
;
the
Master
wondring
what
the
boy
meant
,
at
last
the
boy
telling
him
the
story
,
the
Master
perceived
he
was
pincht
,
went
home
with
a
heavie
heart
;
and
charged
his
men
(
after
some
correction
for
their
too
much
credulity
)
never
to
divulge
it
to
any
person
whatsoever
;
so
much
he
was
ashamed
the
world
should
take
notice
how
nea●ly
he
was
cheated
.
CHAP.
XXVI
.
How
he
returned
to
England
,
was
taken
(
and
afterwards
hanged
)
for
robbing
an
Alehouse
in
St.
Swithins-lane
.
HAving
now
sufficiently
lined
his
purse
against
the
inundations
of
a
winters
day
,
he
strikes
up
sail
for
England
,
where
when
he
was
arrived
,
he
meets
with
his
Father
in
law
Mr.
Rudd
,
one
more
,
whose
name
I
know
not
,
and
the
wife
of
Thomas
Dales
a
Fidler
,
whose
came
to
Mr.
Langhornes
a
small
Victualling
house
,
at
the
Kings-head
in
St.
Swithins-lane
,
and
desired
a
Room
above
stairs
,
which
was
shewed
them
;
they
call
for
a
cup
of
Bear
,
which
they
drank
,
and
the
party
returned
that
brought
it
up
;
then
fall
they
to
their
work
,
which
was
to
pick
open
a
chest
wherein
they
were
informed
monies
lay
.
The
woman
having
occasion
to
go
to
her
Chest
for
money
,
perceived
them
at
it
;
retires
privily
,
and
by
warrant
from
the
next
Justice
,
apprehended
two
of
them
,
which
as
it
afterwards
appeared
,
had
taken
out
8
l.
19
s.
in
money
,
with
other
goods
which
the
woman
conveyed
away
;
and
Hainam
likewise
making
his
way
thorow
the
house
top
,
left
his
Father
in
law
,
and
the
other
to
the
mercy
of
the
Law
.
But
not
contented
with
this
fair
escape
,
but
being
sent
by
heaven
to
be
punished
for
his
villanies
on
earth
,
he
in
three
or
four
hours
returns
(
having
shifted
his
apparell
at
his
lodging
hard
by
,
in
the
house
of
one
Chamberlayne
a
Box-maker
and
an
Alehouse-keeper
in
Beer-binder
lane
neer
Lumbardstreet
)
and
supposing
that
the
Master
of
the
house
Mr.
Langhorne
knew
him
,
with
a
Dagger
which
for
that
purpose
he
brought
with
him
,
he
stab'd
Mr.
Langhorne
in
the
back
and
twice
thorow
the
arme
,
intending
to
have
killed
him
;
and
again
made
his
escape
over
the
houses
till
he
came
into
Sergeant
Probyes
yard
,
whose
man
having
some
businesse
at
that
time
there
,
espies
him
coming
towards
him
with
two
Daggers
in
his
hands
,
whereupon
he
runs
for
a
Rapier
which
he
had
not
far
off
,
and
engaged
with
him
;
Sergean
Proby
having
by
this
time
heard
or
seen
something
,
comes
with
another
weapon
to
the
assistance
of
his
man
,
with
which
he
valiantly
encountred
Hainam
,
and
wounded
him
in
the
thigh
,
but
was
himself
suddenly
after
stabbed
in
the
belly
by
Hainam
;
yet
having
the
more
right
on
his
side
,
he
took
the
greater
courage
,
and
put
the
more
confidence
in
his
might
,
by
the
power
of
which
Hainam
was
held
in
play
till
it
so
fortuned
that
a
Gentleman
of
23
or
24
years
of
age
coming
by
,
perceived
the
fray
,
and
discerning
desperate
wounds
arising
from
their
blowes
,
he
drawes
his
sword
,
and
with
that
in
his
hand
,
forceth
entrance
at
the
door
,
which
Hainam
perceiving
to
open
,
runs
at
,
endevouring
to
escape
,
but
the
Gentleman
starting
back
wounds
him
on
the
leg
,
and
with
another
blow
he
cut
him
in
the
head
,
and
following
his
blow
closely
,
he
sals
within
him
,
so
that
Hainam
had
neither
time
nor
power
to
use
his
Daggers
or
his
two
Pistols
which
at
that
time
he
had
about
him
in
his
pocket
.
Being
thus
overmatched
,
he
was
attended
to
the
Counter
,
where
it
was
found
he
had
7
l.
about
him
;
at
the
taking
away
of
which
he
vowed
,
they
did
him
a
great
displeasure
,
for
he
intended
the
day
following
to
be
drunk
therewith
.
But
his
intentions
thus
crossed
,
he
was
the
next
morning
being
June
15.
1656.
guarded
by
six
men
with
Clubs
and
Daggers
to
the
prison
of
Newgate
.
CHAP.

How
he
had
almost
escaped
again
.
NOtwithstanding
the
privy
search
that
was
made
as
well
for
weapons
as
for
monies
,
and
other
mischievous
imployments
,
he
had
concealed
a
small
file
,
which
he
hid
in
a
place
made
fit
for
it
in
his
cloathes
,
to
the
intent
that
when
he
should
be
fettered
in
Newgate
(
which
he
was
assured
he
should
be
,
having
been
formerly
condemned
)
he
might
with
that
work
himself
out
of
bondage
.
This
file
was
of
such
a
nature
that
should
you
stand
in
the
Room
where
it
was
filing
off
a
thick
iron
bar
,
yet
you
could
not
hear
the
noise
.
With
this
file
had
he
disrobed
himself
of
most
of
his
Fetters
,
and
wanted
little
of
proving
himself
a
loose
man
;
but
being
discovered
sooner
by
his
Keepers
eyes
then
his
eares
,
he
was
at
that
time
prevented
,
and
more
carefully
lookt
unto
for
the
future
;
yet
was
the
file
undiscovered
,
and
so
continued
till
he
was
challenged
to
the
field
to
answer
at
his
death
for
several
abuses
performed
by
him
in
his
life
.
CHAP.
XXVIII
.
The
Execution
of
Richard
Hainam
in
Smithfield-rounds
,
with
a
brief
account
of
his
dying
words
.
THe
next
day
his
Keepers
(
through
the
fear
they
conceived
of
his
escaping
,
which
they
well
do
,
there
having
been
one
formerly
hanged
on
the
same
account
)
they
sent
to
the
Maior
and
Court
of
Aldermen
,
desiring
a
speedy
dispatch
;
otherwise
they
feared
their
Prisoner
would
pay
his
ransome
with
some
of
their
lives
,
as
he
formerly
had
done
.
Whereupon
it
was
immediately
concluded
on
,
that
he
should
be
hanged
in
the
Rounds
of
Smithfield
,
June
17.
1656.
being
Tuesday
.
Which
day
being
come
,
he
was
accordingly
carryed
in
a
Cart
unto
the
place
of
Execution
,
apparelled
in
a
stuffe
suit
laced
in
the
seames
with
a
small
silver
lace
,
a
most
pure
rough
Hat
,
a
black
Cloak
with
things
sutable
thereto
;
all
which
upon
the
Ladder
he
bequeathed
to
the
Hangman
.
He
said
but
little
,
and
that
little
tended
to
the
clearing
of
his
Landlord
and
Landlady
Chamberlayne
where
he
lay
,
who
were
both
at
that
time
in
custody
.
He
said
,
that
he
came
thither
in
the
condition
of
a
working
Goldsmith
,
and
they
knew
no
other
but
that
every
day
when
he
went
forth
,
he
went
about
his
lawfull
occasions
,
he
pretending
that
he
wrought
a
broad
.
And
for
his
Father
in
Law
,
he
hardly
knew
him
,
so
lately
were
they
acquainted
,
but
for
his
wife
and
some
others
,
if
they
deserved
ought
,
he
would
not
save
them
,
nor
would
he
accuse
them
.
He
denyed
that
he
robbed
the
King
of
Scots
,
and
said
he
would
rather
have
parted
with
a
thousands
pounds
then
have
been
so
asperst
.
His
confession
was
but
small
,
alleadging
it
a
point
of
P●pery
to
give
an
account
to
mortals
,
or
to
any
one
but
God
.
Moreover
,
he
denyed
the
Messias
,
and
said
he
ought
to
pray
only
to
the
Father
and
not
to
the
Son
,
as
not
believing
he
was
yet
come
,
but
that
he
would
come
.
Having
disburdened
his
mind
of
what
he
then
delivered
,
he
puls
forth
(
or
caused
it
to
be
pulled
forth
)
his
file
,
and
delivered
it
to
Mr.
Brisco
who
belongs
to
Newgate
,
and
with
a
jumpe
from
the
Ladder
,
as
the
Ep●logue
of
his
Exploits
,
we
leave
him
taking
his
last
swing
.
