The Groome-porters lawes at Mawe , to be obserued in fulfilling the due orders of the Game . 1. IF you chaunge hands , it is the losse of the Set , 2. If you renounce , it is the losse of the Set. 3. If you leade when your Mate shoulde , it is the losse of that game and vied cardes . 4. If you lose dealing , it is the losse of fower cardes , but if the loser of the dealing deale not againe , you acquite the fower , and no gaine to either of both parties . 5. If you looke either on the asked carde , or the bottome carde , it is the losse of that game and vied cardes , in whom the fault is found . 6. If you roub ( not hauing the Ace ) you lose fower , & al the vied cards although you lay downe the same carde which you tooke vp . 7. If you make out the carde when your Mate rubbeth it is the losse of fower , for the roubber must make out the carde himselfe . 8. If you turne vp the Ace of Hartes you gaine fower thereby . 9. If you turne vp the Ace of Hartes , and thereby make either partie aboue xxvi . the contrary part must haue Liuings , but if the contrary parte bee xxv . by meanes whereof Liuings sets them out , then is he who turned vp the Ace of Hartes to make for the Set , so that he make not one Game nor the first Tricke , without the consent of both parties . 10. The partie that asketh a carde , may not vie any carde , before the first tricke be played . 11. You may not vie it after your card is led , but the contrary part may . 12. Three cardes crossed , no carde by any meanes giuen backe . 13. Neither partie may giue backe his owne vied card , though none be crossed . 14. You may not aske a carde to set the contrary parte or your selfe at Liuings or out . 15. Prouided alwaies , that if the contrary parte bee xxiii . or aboue , by reason that fower sets the other partie behinde the Liuinges , it shal be lawfull for the partie which is behinde to aske a carde , although the carde so asked put the other to Liuings . 16. Prouided also that if you meane to lead a helpe , you may vie it vpon your owne asked carde , so as it be done before the helpe be out of your hand , the contrary part may pledge you a card after he seeth your helpe vpon the boord , so as it be done before his owne card be played .
