WHERESOEVER

Trust

.
OR
THE
MYSTERIE
OF
LENding
and
Borrowing
.
SEtting
aside
the
contemplation
of
such
Lending
and
Borrowing
,
as
whereby
the
soule
of
Traffique
is
breathed
into
the
bodie
of
a
Common-wealth
;
I
descend
lower
to
that
practice
of
mutuation
,
whereby
we
accommodate
one
another
for
our
present
necessities
in
monies
and
other
requisites
.
First
,
for
the
Borrower
.
I
Will
first
shew
who
be
the
most
notable
sort
of
Borrowers
and
Booke-men
.
Next
,
what
method
euery
one
holds
in
his
seuerall
way
of
Borrowing
and
Booking
.
Then
their
seuerall
cause
of
failing
and
insoluencie
.
Next
,
their
sundrie
waies
and
weapons
,
with
which
they
fence
with
their
Creditors
.
Next
,
their
noted
places
of
refuge
and
retirement
.
Then
their
Iubilies
and
daies
of
Priuiledge
.
Lastly
,
the
certaine
markes
of
a
conscious
cautious
Debtor
,
with
the
Martiall
discipline
of
the
Mace
,
according
to
the
Moderne
practise
of
these
daies
.
Next
for
the
Creditor
.
I
Will
first
shew
the
charitable
extent
of
the
Creditors
curtesie
.
Then
his
Mystery
of
Multiplication
.
Next
,
how
the
Oyster
caught
the
Crow
.
The
hand
in
the
booke
bred
the
wind-collicke
in
the
ware-house
.
And
then
how
that
wind
being
not
able
to
force
a
passage
thorow
the
cauernes
of
his
credit
,
shakt
the
very
foundation
of
his
shop-boord
,
threatning
a
most
sudden
,
strange
,
and
stormie
eruption
.
Next
,
the
signes
fore-running
the
wonderfull
cracke
.
Then
the
Reparation
of
the
decayed
man
.
And
lastly
,
the
singular
comfort
which
the
Common-wealth
receiued
by
him
,
when
he
was
sent
forth
for
current
out
of
his
Creditors
mint
,
with
a
new
impression
and
a
second
edition
.
And
of
these
in
order
.
The
chiefe
and
most
notable
Borrowers
are
,
The
Courtier
,
that
neither
cares
for
the
call
of
the
Counting-house
,
nor
the
Checke
of
the
Chamber
.
The
Innes
of
Court-man
that
neuer
was
Student
.
The
country
Gentleman
no
Hospitall
house-keeper
.
The
citie
gallant
that
neuer
arriued
at
his
freedome
by
seruice
.
The
Courtiers
method
followes
.
FIrst
he
invites
his
Creditor
,
to
a
dish
of
Court-Ling
,
with
Masculine
mustard
plenty
.
Then
shewes
him
the
priuie
lodgings
,
and
the
new
banquetting
house
.
Perhaps
the
Robes
next
.
Then
the
great
Magolls
tent
in
the
Wardrobe
:
And
so
much
serues
for
the
first
meeting
,
and
to
procure
an
appetite
to
the
second
.
To
the
second
meeting
our
Creditor
is
summoned
,
and
brings
behinde
him
his
wife
,
like
to
a
broken
wicker
glasse
bottle
hanging
at
his
taile
,
and
enters
into
the
Masking
roome
.
Whereat
the
Courtiers
skill
in
deliuering
of
the
Maskers
names
,
vnder
their
seuerall
disguises
,
did
purchase
an
euerlasting
and
indissoluble
citie-consanguinitie
with
his
female
charge
,
ouer
whom
the
more
sleepy
hir
spouse
,
the
more
vigilant
was
my
cousen
courtier
.
And
now
he
hath
made
his
partie
strong
enough
to
visit
my
citizen
,
and
to
borrow
and
take
vp
of
him
at
his
owne
home
,
in
the
most
familiar
phrase
that
can
bee
deuised
for
such
like
vse
and
purpose
.
Then
for
the
quickning
,
continuing
,
and
enlarging
of
his
credit
,
our
Courtier
pretends
how
he
has
receiued
newes
that
his
feign'd
kinred
is
very
sicke
:
and
thereupon
a
takes
occasion
(
in
stead
of
venison
)
to
send
her
a
bottle
of
that
famous
and
farre
fetcht
frontineack
:
He
bids
himselfe
to
dinner
the
same
day
,
and
there
in
a
cursorie
way
of
commending
the
excellent
art
of
man
,
in
matter
of
Manufacture
,
he
falls
by
chance
vpon
the
remembrance
of
an
extraordinarie
stuffe
which
hee
saw
a
great
personage
weare
lately
in
Court
,
not
doubting
but
that
his
cousens
shop
did
afford
the
like
:
His
purpose
was
to
haue
a
suit
of
the
same
very
shortly
,
if
they
would
but
lay
it
by
for
him
till
his
moneyes
came
in
:
Yet
with
a
very
little
intreaty
so
cleanly
exprompted
,
he
was
perswaded
to
take
it
along
with
him
,
but
onely
for
feare
lest
the
whole
peece
might
be
sold
by
the
foolish
foreman
vnawares
before
his
returne
.
Giue
vs
old
Ale
and
booke
it
,
O
giue
vs
old
Ale
and
booke
it
:
And
when
you
would
haue
your
money
for
all
,
My
cousen
may
chance
to
looke
it
.
The
Innes
of
Court-man
,
and
his
Method
.
FIrst
hee
makes
himselfe
acquainted
with
the
Creditor
,
by
going
to
him
in
company
with
one
who
is
a
knowne
customer
there
,
and
an
approued
good
pay-master
.
Then
he
procures
this
knowne
customer
to
take
the
man
of
credence
(
as
it
were
)
modestly
apart
,
and
at
his
backe
while
he
is
walking
downe
the
shop
and
auersed
,
to
whisper
,
That
this
gentleman
whom
you
see
here
,
is
sonne
and
heire
to
that
worthy
Knight
so
potent
in
the
Peake
,
or
that
most
markable
Malster
of
much
Marlborne
:
Or
the
great
Grasier
of
Grymsborow
,
or
the
like
.
Then
he
returnes
to
the
vpper
end
of
the
shop
,
and
the
Master
takes
an
occasion
to
call
to
Thomas
to
giue
the
Gentleman
a
stoole
,
and
tels
him
that
he
knowes
his
friends
very
well
:
The
ancient
Mannor
house
,
and
the
Mill
and
goodly
meadowes
a
little
beneath
in
the
bottome
:
adding
further
,
that
no
doubt
but
if
he
please
the
good
old
Gentleman
,
hee
may
in
time
be
owner
of
them
all
himselfe
.
Be
owner
?
saies
mine
Innes
of
court
man
.
Why
I
tell
you
,
that
water-mill
came
by
my
mother
,
with
all
the
medowes
of
that
Leuell
:
And
my
Father
would
hang
himselfe
he
cannot
giue
them
away
from
me
.
And
whereas
you
say
I
may
be
owner
in
time
,
I
thinke
the
old
man
has
held
them
long
enough
:
vnlesse
you
would
make
his
time
endlesse
,
and
him
a
very
wandring
Iew
.
I
wis
my
Grandfather
seru'd
not
him
so
,
he
knew
what
he
did
when
he
died
.
He
did
it
out
of
true
iudgement
,
in
fulnesse
of
vnderstanding
,
able
to
penne
his
owne
will
himselfe
,
when
he
was
no
longer
seruiceable
to
his
country
,
he
would
not
liue
onely
to
mend
the
fire
,
or
preserue
it
by
applying
euery
circumstant
cinder
within
his
reach
:
but
though
I
pinch
for
it
a
while
,
a
time
(
I
hope
)
may
come
.
Whereat
my
Creditor
interrupting
him
,
saies
,
alas
you
pinch
for
it
?
That
shall
not
need
(
God
be
thanked
)
your
credit
is
worthy
to
bee
ranckt
in
a
shop
booke
,
cheeke
by
iowle
with
any
debitory
disposed
Gentleman
of
this
towne
whatsoeuer
.
Besides
,
if
you
would
be
loth
to
haue
your
name
extant
in
so
publike
a
Repertory
,
you
are
able
by
such
estate
as
is
inseparably
annexed
to
your
person
to
giue
farther
assurance
(
I
doe
but
speake
it
if
need
were
)
by
other
waies
,
and
otherwise
at
your
pleasure
.
Further
assurance
(
replies
my
Gallant
)
A
pox
on
't
:
For
assurance
they
shall
haue
what
they
will
:
And
for
price
of
any
thing
,
it
is
my
desire
they
should
gaine
by
me
,
yea
they
shall
gaine
by
mee
:
For
otherwise
how
should
you
be
able
to
liue
by
it
?
Now
sir
,
you
speake
like
an
honest
Gentleman
(
saies
he
againe
)
I
would
all
our
customers
were
of
your
minde
,
there
bee
too
few
such
as
you
are
;
if
you
haue
need
of
any
thing
here
,
either
for
your
wearing
,
or
else
for
conuersion
,
wherein
I
hope
you
conceiue
me
sir
,
it
is
at
your
command
.
Hereupon
the
man
of
the
sword
sweares
that
he
shall
not
out-doe
him
in
noblenesse
;
Had
hee
robbed
the
Statuaes
of
the
new
Standard
of
all
their
royall
resolutions
.
He
vowes
to
returne
thither
againe
,
and
that
speedily
:
To
bring
his
Tailor
with
him
aduisedly
;
To
take
vp
for
diuers
vses
with
much
facility
,
and
to
giue
assurance
according
to
the
direction
of
his
owne
Scriuener
,
a
Bow
lane
most
legally
.
And
so
leaue
we
him
like
a
horse
put
vp
to
diet
,
whereby
to
be
prepared
to
runne
his
traine
sents
on
the
deepest
ground
of
assurance
,
that
City
counsell
can
finde
out
or
deuise
.
Puppy
runnes
well
,
but
who
shall
winne
the
day
Puppy
?
or
Noddy
?
'T
is
an
euen
lay
.
The
Country
Gentleman
,
his
Method
.
THe
country
Gentleman
,
hee
is
by
this
time
come
vp
to
London
;
and
has
brought
his
Atturney
with
him
,
one
that
professes
the
taking
vp
of
money
by
writ
of
right
.
His
Atturnie
brings
him
to
the
ship
behinde
the
Exchange
,
and
leaues
him
there
while
he
goes
to
fetch
the
onely
Nouerint
in
those
parts
,
whom
he
prepares
at
his
shop
with
the
purpose
,
aduising
him
withall
in
his
eate
,
so
to
handle
the
matter
in
hall
,
that
beards
may
wag
all
,
which
he
deliuered
with
a
most
familiar
wringing
of
him
by
the
hand
,
to
insinuate
his
meaning
as
vnto
his
share
:
He
then
brings
the
Scriuener
vnto
the
Tauerne
,
good
compliance
is
in
all
parties
,
and
the
Scriuener
according
to
the
true
practice
of
the
most
of
them
,
at
the
first
meeting
,
especially
while
they
are
with
the
borrower
in
a
Tauerne
,
was
more
easie
in
promising
,
then
they
in
proposing
.
The
atturney
then
softly
tels
the
Gentleman
apart
,
that
he
should
doe
well
to
bespeake
supper
instantly
,
assuring
him
that
if
hee
could
but
fasten
that
courtesie
vpon
the
Scriuener
for
the
present
,
he
were
their
owne
for
euer
after
,
neither
the
summe
nor
the
securitie
could
be
matter
of
any
difficulty
.
The
counsell
was
held
wholsome
as
vnto
the
supper
,
the
Atturney
was
forthwith
preferd
to
the
barre
,
where
hee
spake
so
learnedly
in
the
cause
,
that
vpon
the
same
hearing
,
they
recouered
three
full
dishes
on
their
side
,
the
boyes
drew
the
proceeding
of
the
businesse
very
Clarke-like
,
the
Kitchin-maid
supplied
with
a
Tales
.
The
Mistresse
call'd
earnestly
for
the
Postea
,
and
the
master
hee
rated
and
allowed
the
bill
of
costs
.
At
the
execution
whereof
,
my
Scriuener
fearing
left
the
shot
should
disperse
and
scatter
it selfe
amongst
them
,
while
the
Gentleman
was
feeling
for
money
to
discharge
it
;
he
to
facilitate
that
hand
,
askes
him
softly
in
his
eare
;
What
is
the
summe
that
hee
would
haue
?
Then
suspecting
the
long
dwelling
of
his
hand
in
the
pocket
,
he
tels
him
,
He
shall
haue
what
summe
he
will
:
Let
mee
see
,
saies
the
Scriuener
,
there
comes
in
this
night
of
Sir
Sam
van
Skynkers
money
,
fiue
hundred
,
and
to
morrow
as
much
more
I
can
supply
you
from
one
hundred
to
ten
out
of
that
as
your
occasions
require
;
how
say
you
?
We
will
haue
no
drie
reckoning
replies
the
Gentleman
:
Heere
's
the
full
summe
of
the
bill
and
a
pottle
ouer
;
Though
we
be
Leicester-shire
fed
,
yet
we
be
not
Brackly
bred
,
I
assure
you
.
And
for
the
summe
which
I
should
(
or
at
least
would
haue
)
for
especiall
occasions
,
Let
me
see
:
There
is
a
horse-race
at
Northampton
on
Munday
come
seuenight
;
I
must
needs
haue
new
furniture
for
Cropeare
,
which
I
will
send
downe
by
Leicester
Waggon
.
I
will
haue
that
Hawke
which
I
saw
in
Southwarke
this
afternoone
:
clothes
would
doe
well
:
But
that
s
my
least
care
of
a
thousand
.
A
poxe
a
pride
I
say
.
Howsoeuer
I
must
see
the
party
I
told
you
of
by
the
way
,
before
I
goe
out
of
towne
,
by
any
meanes
if
shee
keepe
the
same
lodging
and
the
same
name
that
she
was
wont
to
doe
:
that
s
all
now
.
Le
ts
see
,
A
matter
of
some
three
hundred
will
doe
't
,
so
farre
forth
as
my
present
and
most
vrgent
occasions
doe
presse
me
at
this
instant
:
As
for
payment
,
And
for
rayment
,
For
hedges
and
mounds
,
And
stocking
of
grounds
,
For
Corne
for
seed
,
Or
Cattle
to
breed
,
Or
the
Wolfe
at
the
doore
,
And
a
thousand
things
more
.
They
are
nothing
so
important
and
concerning
as
the
least
of
these
:
I
would
not
misse
Munday
come
seuennight
for
three
such
summes
,
I
tell
you
Sir
:
Munday
come
seuennight
!
That
were
a
iest
indeed
.
For
that
and
what
you
please
beside
,
saies
the
Scriuener
,
you
shall
finde
no
default
on
my
partie
:
This
honest
Gentleman
that
is
with
you
knowes
the
course
of
these
kinde
of
businesses
:
He
and
I
shall
take
care
of
you
wheresoeuer
you
dispose
or
repose
your selfe
:
And
so
with
thanks
for
your
costs
and
kindnesse
,
I
shall
take
my
leaue
at
this
time
.
The
Scriuener
departs
,
and
the
Gentleman
staies
behinde
,
onely
to
hugge
and
endeare
the
endowments
of
him
that
procured
this
meeting
:
He
praises
the
prosperity
of
their
iourney
,
commends
the
comely
cariage
of
the
Scriuener
,
and
vowes
euerlasting
acknowledgement
of
his
Atturneys
actiuity
.
And
so
they
betake
themselues
to
their
lodging
likewise
for
that
night
.
The
next
morning
my
Gentleman
sends
his
Atturny
to
see
that
the
money
which
he
spake
for
,
be
told
out
and
made
ready
for
him
against
his
comming
,
which
should
be
when
and
where
it
shall
please
the
honest
Scriuener
.
(
For
by
this
time
he
had
attained
so
much
of
reputation
among
them
.
)
The
same
day
and
the
next
were
both
spent
in
continuall
quest
of
the
Scriuener
.
But
the
Boyes
in
the
Shop
according
to
their
masters
direction
made
answer
,
one
while
that
he
was
gone
to
Sir
Sam
for
moneys
:
Another
while
that
he
was
at
the
sealing
of
writings
at
such
a
place
:
Then
that
he
was
at
the
speeding
of
a
commission
of
Bankeruptisme
at
Guild-hall
,
God
blesse
the
place
and
euery
good
man
of
the
Grand
Iury
:
And
then
shortly
after
,
that
he
was
but
euen
now
gone
forth
,
and
that
it
was
impossible
but
that
he
should
meet
him
,
vnlesse
the
dust
of
Popes-head
Alley
had
put
out
his
eies
by
the
way
.
The
time
weares
out
,
&
the
horse-race
comes
onward
,
the
apprehension
whereof
puts
our
Gentleman
into
such
a
perpassion
,
that
on
the
next
day
early
in
the
morning
he
goes
to
the
Scriueners
shop
,
where
sodainly
and
vnawares
he
finds
him
saying
his
praiers
,
while
he
was
withall
crosse
gartering
of
himselfe
;
and
had
he
not
knowne
him
better
by
his
crosse-garters
than
by
his
praiers
,
questionlesse
he
had
lost
his
labour
.
Godmorrow
(
saies
the
Gentleman
)
perhaps
I
doe
disturb
your
deuotion
?
You
Rascall
,
how
chance
you
doe
not
hang
out
the
Labells
?
(
saies
the
Scriuener
to
his
boy
.
)
Then
he
proceeds
with
his
praiers
,
and
suddenly
bespeaks
the
Gentleman
,
asking
,
What
is
your
will
with
me
Sir
?
Haue
you
any
businesse
with
me
I
pray
now
?
O
Lord
Sir
,
(
saies
he
)
I
hope
you
remember
what
past
betweene
vs
at
the
Ship
on
wednesday
night
last
,
touching
the
three
hundred
which
I
was
indeed
to
haue
the
next
morning
,
parcell
of
the
thousand
which
was
to
come
in
then
.
Hum
(
saies
the
Scriuener
)
I
thinke
there
was
some
such
matter
:
I
remember
we
talked
of
it
:
But
what
were
the
names
of
your
security
which
you
did
then
giue
me
?
For
names
(
replies
he
)
why
I
gaue
you
none
,
for
I
conceiued
it
should
not
need
:
Or
if
it
doe
,
you
shall
haue
lands
that
for
seat
,
and
site
,
value
,
and
Virgin
title
,
shall
beare
and
ballance
your
morgage
downe
to
the
center
.
Now
you
come
to
me
(
saies
the
Scriuener
)
goe
you
two
to
the
Antwerp
,
but
only
to
prepare
me
a
particular
of
this
land
,
and
I
will
be
with
you
presently
.
They
goe
before
the
particular
is
made
ready
.
The
wine
is
burnt
,
the
Scriuener
with
much
paine
has
past
through
his
praiers
,
and
recouers
the
Tauerne
do
ore
,
by
that
time
he
was
come
to
(
Amen
.
)
He
returnes
to
his
old
complement
,
pockets
the
Particular
which
they
deliuer
him
,
and
puts
all
vnkindnesse
into
this
cup
;
He
drinks
freely
,
and
promises
nobly
:
So
that
now
there
was
no
doubt
made
but
we
might
be
at
Northampton
most
opportunely
.
And
so
much
for
that
meeting
.
After
dinner
they
came
both
againe
to
the
shop
,
where
they
found
my
Scriuener
wrapt
warme
in
his
gowne
about
him
,
fast
asleepe
(
Good
man
.
)
For
if
euer
he
were
good
,
he
was
then
good
;
Or
(
at
least
)
I
am
sure
he
was
then
and
there
at
the
very
best
of
Scriueners
goodnesse
;
the
height
of
their
holinesse
,
and
the
perfection
of
their
punctuality
.
They
must
by
no
meanes
trouble
him
before
he
be
fully
recouered
and
enabled
for
a
second
meeting
at
the
Mermaid
after
Exchange
time
.
They
attend
the
while
:
the
clouds
of
claret
shortly
spend
themselues
:
he
wakens
,
they
salute
him
.
At
length
with
much
adoe
hee
calls
them
to
remembrance
,
and
askes
them
for
their
particular
:
they
shew
the
errour
in
his
pocket
,
and
so
he
promises
their
dispatch
the
next
morning
without
any
faile
,
and
they
are
gone
to
bespeake
furniture
for
Cropeare
in
the
meane
time
.
At
the
appointed
houre
my
Atturnie
comes
to
know
if
the
writings
were
ready
to
seale
,
and
the
money
proportioned
into
seuerall
hundreds
,
in
so
many
seuerall
bagges
or
no.
The
Scriuener
replies
,
that
it
should
be
forth
with
prepared
accordingly
,
so
as
they
should
bring
good
city
security
with
them
,
but
only
to
vndertake
for
the
property
and
transparancie
of
the
title
of
the
Lands
so
tendred
,
and
that
was
all
should
need
for
the
matter
,
procuration
being
euer
prouided
for
,
and
writing
taken
to
estimation
according
to
the
repate
of
the
place
where
it
was
to
bee
written
,
and
that
was
all
that
was
now
remaining
to
be
considered
of
on
the
Gentlemans
behalfe
.
This
new
taske
required
more
time
in
possessing
and
perswading
of
some
Citizens
his
Country-men
,
who
knew
him
and
his
lands
so
well
,
that
it
was
disputable
,
whether
was
more
deare
and
desired
vnto
them
.
They
ioyne
with
him
in
the
security
,
and
become
immediatly
bound
with
him
by
bond
for
the
payment
of
the
money
at
a
certaine
day
to
come
,
and
to
the
great
amazement
of
the
Scriuener
,
thanke
him
for
this
counsaile
in
aduising
and
directing
them
to
the
cautionary
causeway
of
security
both
laterally
and
collaterally
,
by
direct
&
oblique
lines
which
he
most
mathematically
had
imagined
and
contriued
in
his
head
,
as
well
for
his
owne
commodity
as
for
their
indempnity
,
without
demanding
of
any
other
assurance
as
yet
,
and
so
my
Gentleman
is
dispatcht
without
further
tie
vpon
lands
or
person
hitherto
,
sauing
what
is
mentally
reserued
vpon
the
growth
of
this
summe
,
by
these
his
louing
friends
and
countrimen
.
Friendship
for
countries
sake
I
doe
commend
,
But
not
to
sell
my
country
for
a
friend
.
The
Citizen
,
a
Redemptionary
Freeman
,
his
Method
.
THe
last
,
but
not
the
least
of
these
is
our
city
borrower
,
a
hopefull
young
man
(
though
I
say
it
:
)
A
man
of
wisedome
,
for
he
is
the
best
That
euer
was
of
our
Ward-mo●t
inquest
:
Of
sweet
behauiour
,
for
this
very
yeere
,
He
hath
discharg'd
the
place
of
Scauenger
.
At
an
arbitrement
he
is
a
cutter
,
As
ere
concluded
in
a
Tauerne
supper
.
If
females
for
their
linnen
doe
contend
,
He
takes
vp
all
,
and
makes
a
friendly
end
.
And
if
our
Vestry
brethren
doe
dissent
,
He
makes
the
elder
head
most
eminent
.
Grow
vp
thou
man
of
iustice
and
of
hope
,
My
pen
giues
thee
thy
due
,
giue
thou
it
scope
.
This
City
youth
,
not
altogether
free
by
patrimonie
,
but
partly
by
matrization
,
is
wonderfull
cautious
of
being
a
borrower
vpon
record
,
or
in
the
eye
of
the
world
.
He
will
not
haue
his
name
tendred
to
a
Scriuener
by
any
meanes
,
while
he
is
yet
but
easily
declining
vpon
the
streame
of
ready
monies
,
and
not
in
stocke
,
like
the
water
which
though
it
fall
and
sinke
by
the
sides
,
yet
runnes
vp
in
the
middest
with
a
manifest
current
long
after
.
He
now
studies
how
to
take
vp
without
expression
to
bee
a
principall
for
himselfe
,
or
to
be
too
promptly
drawne
into
security
for
others
.
Hee
findes
out
for
property
for
this
purpose
a
young
heire
,
who
for
a
third
share
of
the
summe
,
was
content
to
beare
the
onely
name
and
blame
of
borrower
,
and
to
yeeld
to
the
ensafing
of
my
Citizen
,
by
such
counter-bonds
,
sales
and
assignments
,
as
by
the
Scriuener
and
himselfe
,
could
be
deuised
to
vphold
the
reputation
of
a
wonderfull
wary
man
.
Can
you
now
call
this
man
a
borrower
for
doing
his
friend
a
courtesie
?
Or
is
this
man
in
a
declension
,
when
it
appeares
by
the
booke
,
that
he
is
in
the
way
of
purchasing
?
No
such
matter
,
this
cries
vp
his
credit
:
And
howsoeuer
these
monies
be
repaid
,
yet
he
is
sure
of
the
land
,
which
before
any
insoluency
shall
appeare
on
his
party
,
he
does
intend
to
conuey
ouer
in
trust
secretly
,
to
the
vses
of
his
liuelihood
for
the
time
of
restraint
to
come
,
and
like
one
that
prepares
his
tombe
while
he
is
yet
liuing
,
hee
resolues
what
lodging
to
take
vp
on
the
masters-side
,
when
his
credit
shall
depart
this
mortall
life
.
Besides
,
he
had
another
way
of
borrowing
,
hee
findes
out
an
old
vsurer
of
the
same
parish
,
father
to
diuers
daughters
,
who
catcht
at
espousall
preferment
,
onely
by
their
fathers
countenance
,
and
their
concise
carriage
.
The
one
of
these
he
singles
out
from
the
heard
,
and
pretends
most
pure
and
vnfained
loue
vnto
her
:
He
visits
her
in
his
gowne
at
Midsummer
,
whereat
the
old
man
conceiues
great
ioy
and
comfort
,
glories
in
his
grauity
,
and
delights
in
his
decency
.
He
on
the
other
side
peceiues
the
powle-cat
in
the
Pursenet
,
makes
present
vse
of
it
.
He
shewes
him
the
conueiance
which
the
heire
made
the
other
day
vnto
him
of
all
the
houses
in
Conny-hoope-lane
a
one
side
;
and
desires
to
be
furnisht
by
him
with
so
much
as
might
bring
the
other
side
into
his
propertie
likewise
:
for
that
it
was
now
offered
vnto
him
vpon
reasonable
conditions
,
so
should
bee
reduce
all
(
as
it
were
)
into
a
circle
,
and
his
daughter
should
hold
that
for
her
Iointer
,
and
haue
the
euidence
in
her
owne
custody
.
The
old
man
lik't
this
passing
well
,
and
for
feare
left
the
bargaine
should
be
snatcht
out
of
his
hand
,
he
takes
him
into
his
closet
,
tells
out
the
monie
,
and
sends
him
away
instantly
.
The
old
man
turnes
him
about
,
and
(
pointing
at
her
sweet
heart
)
bespeakes
his
daughter
thus
:
There
goes
he
that
labours
for
you
most
industriously
,
studies
your
good
right
carefully
,
I
pray
God
make
you
thankfull
for
him
accordingly
:
For
you
shall
haue
a
husband
(
bee
it
not
vainely
spoken
)
that
for
thrift
and
husbandrie
may
be
the
very
browch
of
all
the
Citie
.
In
stead
of
going
forthwith
vnto
his
Chapman
,
for
the
housing
and
candle
rents
,
he
is
housed
presently
at
a
widdowes
in
the
way
,
where
he
spends
his
time
till
candle-light
.
Here
he
likewise
protests
and
professes
loue
by
whole
sale
:
hee
shewes
her
the
monies
,
and
tels
her
what
a
bargaine
he
could
now
haue
,
if
shee
would
ioine
stocke
with
him
in
such
a
commoditie
come
lately
into
the
Downes
with
the
last
East-Indian
ships
.
It
might
please
God
that
this
might
be
a
happy
occasion
of
vniting
their
persons
as
well
as
their
parcels
together
.
The
Widdow
was
hereupon
taken
with
such
a
Sorpego
in
her
wrists
,
that
her
fingers
ends
itcht
to
be
telling
out
of
her
part
,
and
to
take
issue
vpon
his
promise
of
the
vnion
,
which
she
performed
with
much
dexterity
.
Then
he
puts
all
together
,
and
assures
her
that
he
will
be
gone
the
next
tide
to
Grauesend
.
When
hee
comes
home
,
hee
dispatches
letters
speedily
to
the
old
Vsurer
,
certifying
him
of
his
good
progression
in
Connie-hoope-lane
,
and
desiring
his
patience
for
certaine
daies
,
which
the
contriuing
of
his
assurance
by
good
and
sufficient
counsell
would
take
vp
.
The
time
pretended
for
the
Downes
,
and
to
draw
downe
a
good
estate
for
his
young
Mistresse
,
is
vpon
better
consideration
bestowed
at
Rumford
,
where
whosoeuer
had
seene
him
in
the
lift
of
his
liberalitie
,
would
little
thinke
him
to
be
so
little
a
thing
as
might
bee
contained
within
the
compasse
of
a
counting
house
,
or
be
confined
within
the
prospection
of
a
false
light
.
Expect
anon
the
sequell
of
his
story
,
Let
Rumford
now
be
famous
for
Iohn
Dory
.
Their
seuerall
cause
of
insoluency
followeth
.
THe
Courtiers
cause
is
in
his
conscience
:
For
he
neither
can
nor
cares
to
pay
.
The
innes
of
court
mans
cause
is
in
his
Coercence
,
for
he
would
if
he
could
pay
.
The
countrie
Gentlemans
cause
is
in
his
confidence
,
for
he
trusts
to
his
countrie
men
of
the
citie
,
and
had
rather
they
then
he
should
pay
.
But
the
citizens
cause
is
in
hi●
complacence
.
It
pleaseth
him
so
to
paie
,
and
he
sees
no
reason
why
he
should
goe
beyond
the
rule
of
conformitie
.
He
findes
good
graund
Iurie
Presidents
of
fiue
shillings
in
the
pound
,
and
it
is
faire
too
and
sufficient
soder
for
the
first
flaw
(
by
my
faith
.
)
Some
would
and
if
they
could
,
Some
can
,
and
yet
they
care
not
:
The
least
pay
what
they
should
,
The
most
spend
all
and
spare
not
.
The
sundry
waies
and
weapons
with
which
they
fence
with
their
Creditors
,
challenge
the
next
place
.
THe
longest
weapons
with
which
my
Courtier
keepes
his
Creditor
farthest
off
,
are
the
winters
iournies
,
and
the
summers
progresse
.
And
when
he
is
neerer
hand
,
he
does
keepe
them
at
staues
length
,
by
challenging
of
a
priuacy
for
indisposition
of
body
,
conference
with
great
and
honourable
Personages
,
or
imploiment
in
the
States
wonderfull
weighty
affaires
,
when
(
God
wot
)
the
indisposition
is
for
want
of
cleane
linnen
.
The
conference
is
with
his
boy
,
how
to
pay
the
Landresse
which
detaines
it
.
And
his
imployment
is
in
and
about
the
taking
of
a
pipe
of
Tobacco
.
The
priuie
watergate
,
and
the
garden
outlet
doe
well
.
And
when
he
findes
no
remedie
but
that
his
Creditor
will
close
and
come
into
him
within
his
weapons
length
,
then
he
sweares
that
he
was
euen
now
about
to
send
for
him
,
had
he
not
preuented
him
.
He
tels
him
in
great
secresie
how
he
is
in
possibility
to
passe
a
suit
of
great
worth
,
only
hee
wants
some
money
to
scatter
in
fees
by
the
way
:
For
it
is
to
bee
vnderstood
,
that
with
great
Officers
the
chamber-men
weare
good
clothes
,
and
the
doore-keeper
has
a
precious
facultie
:
he
shall
onely
supply
with
so
much
as
will
euen
the
old
summe
,
and
pay
himselfe
,
tot
,
talia
,
and
tanta
,
at
his
owne
pleasure
,
yea
he
shall
bee
a
Patentee
himselfe
,
for
argument
of
honest
purpose
and
honourable
dealing
.
What
shift
so
ere
we
make
,
he
needes
must
do
it
.
For
profit
and
preferment
pricke
him
to
it
.
The
Iunes
of
Courts
mans
weapons
.
HIs
first
weapon
is
a
well-pend
Letter
,
excusing
his
delay
by
incompetencie
of
exhibition
.
Or
by
the
necessity
of
attending
the
reuolution
of
their
Tenants
six
moneths
day
of
payment
,
according
to
the
custome
of
the
Country
.
But
especially
by
occasion
of
his
fathers
great
and
dangerous
sicknesse
(
though
there
were
no
such
matter
)
for
that
hee
knew
was
the
onely
viscouse
matter
to
belime
his
Creditor
that
could
bee
deuised
or
applied
.
The
next
weapon
,
when
the
former
way
is
stale
of
assiduity
,
is
his
good
sword
,
a
watchfull
eye
and
a
ready
hand
.
The
last
is
the
deuiation
and
auoiding
of
the
most
frequented
passages
and
streets
,
and
to
hold
compasse
at
the

The
Country
Gentleman
his
Weapons
.
THis
youth
(
alas
)
hath
neither
occasion
at
the
first
to
practise
his
defence
,
nor
knowes
the
vse
of
the
weapon
,
nor
will
he
be
brought
to
it
of
a
long
time
;
when
payment
is
prefixed
to
be
made
to
him
the
said
Salomon
set
in
siluer
street
London
,
hee
in
his
better
wisdome
is
betting
of
all
his
white
money
at
the
Cock-fighting
in
Couentrie
.
And
when
all
comes
to
all
,
when
farther
occasion
hath
drawne
him
into
a
farther
respectualitie
with
his
vndertakers
in
London
;
so
that
he
must
either
stand
vpon
his
guard
,
or
lose
the
Bleane
,
with
all
Meadowes
,
Pastures
,
Feedings
,
woods
,
vnderwoods
,
and
other
the
appurtenances
worth
tenne
times
the
monie
borrowed
:
Then
,
O
then
,
he
lookes
out
his
manly
munition
.
The
ancient
sleeping
entaile
.
The
old
mothers
Ioincture
.
The
endowment
of
his
wife
,
adostium
Ecclesiae
.
All
these
he
brings
to
his
Cutler
of
Chancerie-lane
,
and
bestowes
so
much
vpon
the
oile
of
equity
,
as
will
scoure
them
vp
cleanly
,
and
make
them
fit
weapons
of
defence
against
all
the
Cossaques
of
the
City
.
Petitions
be
the
Postures
of
thy
guard
,
And
may
thy
motions
be
like
Canons
heard
;
Set
field
,
or
skirmish
,
Chamber
,
or
the

,
T
is
like
to
proue
a
very
lingring

.
The
City
borrower
his
fence
.
HE
handles
his
weapon
with
the
best
grace
of
them
all
,
his
Creditor
dares
scarce
come
within
his
reach
,
but
only
aske
how
he
does
as
he
goes
by
.
And
if
hee
doe
presume
to
leaue
word
with
the
apprentice
boy
,
that
he
would
haue
him
tell
his
Master
that
he
was
here
to
speake
with
him
in
the
current
of
his
other
businesse
,
it
is
a
bold
aduenture
,
and
a
sawcie
presumption
taken
very
censoriously
by
my
young
.
Master
at
his
comming
home
,
especially
if
hee
haue
beene
at
the
Renterwardens
feast
.
The
Cities
occasion
,
The
Companies
conuention
,
and
The
parochicall
prouision
,
These
be
the
things
which
challenge
propriety
and
prioritie
in
a
comely
Citizen
,
before
all
other
respects
whatsoeuer
.
He
will
not
discontent
the
first
,
Nor
disappoint
the
second
,
Nor
disfurnish
the
last
for
obseruance
of
whomsoeuer
.
For
the
monie
taken
vp
of
the
Scriuener
,
the
interest
onely
needs
to
bee
paid
in
as
yet
:
and
the
Scriuener
(
to
stop
his
mouth
)
he
shall
haue
the
imploiment
and
benefit
to
eiect
the
Tenants
of
Conie-hoope-lane
,
and
withall
he
will
haue
the
Scriuener
sue
the
bond
both
against
the
heire
and
himselfe
,
vpon
which
he
will
appeare
to
suffer
iudgements
against
both
right
willingly
.
(
Marry
)
he
shall
take
execution
against
the
heire
only
.
For
the
old
Vsurers
monie
,
hee
found
that
the
assurance
could
not
be
perfected
till
the
next
Michalmas
terme
,
for
it
required
the
ceremonie
of
the
barre
,
and
before
he
would
debarre
his
wife
of
any
ceremonie
belonging
to
her
,
he
would
be
reputed
the
vnperfectest
member
that
euer
ministred
in
the
Cities
mysteries
.
And
for
the
Widdowes
monie
bestowed
in
the
Downes
,
he
found
the
commoditie
not
so
vendible
here
as
beyond
the
seas
,
therefore
he
thought
it
best
to
send
it
into
Holland
,
where
it
attends
the
next
market
,
and
would
not
so
much
as
suffer
it
to
touch
at
our
coast
.
This
cannot
cure
but
lengthen
thy
disease
,
It
may
deferre
the
paine
,
but
not
release
.
Their
noted
places
of
refuge
and
retirement
follow
.
Ramme-Alley
,
I
Will
not
so
much
as
looke
into
the
court
,
or
any
the
standing
houses
;
the
house-keepers
lodging
,
nor
the
gardiners
receit
,
neither
the
Mewes
.
Nor
pry
into
the
meniall
precincts
of
any
the
Innes
of
Court
,
farther
then
they
stand
for
refuge
and
reliefe
of
the
neighbouring
priuiledges
about
them
.
The
first
and
chiefest
of
all
which
,
for
aduantage
of
the
ground
,
for
fortifications
,
for
water-workes
,
posternes
and
passages
,
supplies
and
prouision
by
land
or
otherwise
,
is
that
so
farre
fam'd
,
and
so
fitly
nam'd
Ram-Alley
,
or
the
Ramy-kins
,
according
to
the
Dutch
translation
.
In
it
is
a
garrison
of
old
souldiers
,
euery
one
of
the
which
is
able
to
lead
a
whole
armie
of
younger
Debtors
.
They
call
their
Muster-roll
in
the
round
Church
.
They
drill
them
in
the
garden
,
and
They
make
their
set
battailes
vnder
the
trees
in
the
new
walkes
,
which
peece
of
ground
was
listed
in
and
leuel'd
for
the
purpose
.
For
the
workes
within
Ram-Alley
,
there
be
two
most
notable
:
the
one
is
rais'd
and
contriued
in
the
forme
of
a
Ramme
,
which
Rammes
were
vsed
in
the
old
Iewish
Discipline
,
as
appeares
by
the
History
it selfe
more
at
large
.
This
worke
is
of
a
reasonable
strength
,
hauing
a
watch-Tower
in
the
similitude
of
a
Coblers
shop
,
adioyning
,
from
whence
all
the
forces
about
are
called
together
vpon
the
least
approach
of
the
enemie
.
But
the
other
is
a
fort
most
impregnable
,
where
the
enemy
dares
not
so
much
as
come
within
shot
,
to
take
the
least
view
of
it
.
There
is
none
but
this
onely
one
so
inuincible
,
farre
and
neere
,
and
therefore
our
latter
writers
haue
stiled
it
the
Phoenix
.
There
be
other
pretty
contriued
plot-formes
in
the
fashion
of
Cookes
shops
two
or
three
,
where
if
a
Setter
or
Spy
doe
but
peepe
in
at
them
,
they
will
make
him
pay
for
the
roast
before
he
depart
(
I
le
warrant
him
.
)
To
the
Rammykins
doe
belong
a
very
great
fleet
,
consisting
of
many
saile
well
man'd
,
and
these
ere
onely
for
the
seruice
by
water
.
This
place
according
to
the
Geographicall
map
,
and
the
report
of
our
moderne
Authors
,
cannot
possibly
be
so
besieged
,
but
that
they
within
may
goe
in
and
out
at
their
pleasure
without
impeachment
.
At
the
Middle-temple
gate
they
will
issue
in
spite
of
the
deuill
.
At
the
Inner-temple
gate
they
feare
no
colours
in
the
Rain-bow
.
And
at
Ram-Ally
Posterne
,
in
case
they
cannot
fetch
Fetter-lane
,
but
discouer
ambushment
,
they
need
onely
draw
their
bodies
within
guard
of
pike
,
turne
faces
about
,
and
retreat
through
the
Miter
.
Or
admit
they
stand
for
Fleet-street
,
&
be
so
intercepted
,
that
they
can
neither
recouer
the
Miter
nor
Ram-Ally
,
it
is
no
more
but
onely
to
mend
their
march
,
fall
downward
as
if
they
gaue
way
,
suddenly
discharge
their
right
hand
file
,
and
fall
easily
into
Serieants
Inne
,
where
by
an
ancient
treaty
had
betweene
these
two
houses
,
it
was
agreed
that
the
parties
in
such
distresse
might
,
paying
the
Gentleman
Porters
Fee
,
haue
conuoy
and
conueyance
through
the
Garden
into
the
Temple
,
without
re-hazzard
of
his
person
.
Then
when
they
would
forrage
,
they
are
no
sooner
out
of
the
Middle-temple
gate
,
but
there
bee
three
seuerall
places
of
defence
to
friend
them
:
(
viz.
)
The
Bell.
The
Barregate
,
and
Shire
lane
.
The
passage
through
the
Kings
Bench
office
is
a
most
excellent
safe
way
for
close
contriuing
and
retriuing
.
The
Gardners
wharfage
as
the
tide
may
serue
,
will
serue
the
turne
too
.
But
the
new
doore
by
the
Bochards
,
though
it
be
none
of
the
sweetest
way
,
yet
it
is
the
safest
of
all
the
rest
,
for
at
the
sight
of
the
pompe
the
setter
starts
backe
,
and
will
by
no
meanes
pursue
him
any
further
.
Fulwoods
Rents
.
THe
next
place
of
refuge
is
commonly
called
Fulwoods
Rents
,
which
lies
so
in
the
maine
and
plaine
continent
,
that
it
requires
the
stricter
watch
and
stronger
court
of
guard
to
be
kept
about
it
.
Besides
,
the
Generall
of
the
enemy
hath
planted
very
neere
it
,
and
lately
cast
vp
a
mount
in
the
fashion
of
a
Sherifes
Office
iust
in
the
face
of
them
.
In
Fulwoods
Fort
,
otherwise
yckleeped
Skink-skonce
,
besides
Robbin-hood
and
his
out-lawes
,
lie
a
regiment
of
Tailors
,
the
one
halfe
whereof
with
red
beards
,
and
the
other
hauing
no
beards
at
all
.
Captaine
Swanne
was
a
very
tall
man
,
So
was
not
Francis
Drake
a
;
When
Snypp
does
sweare
in
single
beere
,
The
Bailiffes
vse
to
quake
a.
At
the
vpper
end
of
these
Rents
,
and
at
the
very
portall
of
Purpoole-palace
westward
,
was
lately
begunne
a
most
excellent
peece
of
worke
,
which
had
it
not
beene
interrupted
by
those
that
plaid
vpon
them
from
aboue
(
questionlesse
)
it
had
beene
the
strongest
and
surest
hold
that
euer
was
raisd
within
the
continent
for
this
purpose
.
The
backe
gate
into
Graies
Inne
lane
,
with
the
benefit
of
the
little
Alley
,
ex
opposito
,
is
of
good
vse
,
but
not
at
all
times
.
The
passages
through
certaine
Innes
on
the
field-side
,
are
attempted
with
some
hazzard
by
reason
of
the
stragling
troops
of
the
enemie
,
who
he
pardue
in
euery
alehouse
thereabouts
.
The
onely
safe
way
of
Sally
,
is
that
through
the
walkes
,
from
whence
the
Red-Lion
in
Graies-Inne-lane
receiues
them
with
good
quartering
,
and
passes
them
through
the
backe
way
into
the
maine
land
:
And
so
much
for
Skink-Skonce
.
Milford
lane
.
THe
next
is
Milford
lane
,
to
which
certaine
Captaines
and
their
companies
being
long
since
cashiered
,
betooke
themselues
,
and
liking
the
situation
of
it
,
did
there
erect
diuers
workes
,
both
to
the
land-side
and
the
water
for
their
ensafing
.
As
they
came
in
by
conquest
,
so
they
hold
it
by
the
sword
;
and
howsoeuer
their
title
hath
beene
much
disputed
heretofore
,
yet
they
haue
now
commuted
the
matter
,
proued
plantation
,
pretended
the
first
discouery
:
and
withall
haue
reduced
it
to
a
most
absolute
Hanse
and
free
towne
of
it selfe
without
dependency
.
The
chiefe
benefit
they
haue
for
securing
of
their
persons
is
that
of
the
water
,
for
to
the
land
there
is
little
safety
when
you
are
once
without
their
works
,
and
therefore
I
will
abide
here
no
longer
,
but
hold
my
course
onward
to
the
Sauoy
.
The
Sauoy
.
IF
the
Sauoy
should
not
be
sufficiently
defended
euery
way
,
and
in
euery
respect
,
it
were
a
great
shame
to
the
discipline
of
the
place
,
and
the
troupes
that
are
there
billeted
,
the
rather
for
they
consist
for
the
most
part
of
Engyniers
and
Proiectors
:
and
in
memory
of
them
,
haue
builded
there
certaine
tenements
which
shall
beare
the
name
of
Proiector-Ally
for
euer
.
Duke
Humfrey
.
FRom
hence
you
must
giue
me
leaue
to
passe
by
boat
to
Duke
Humfries
,
which
was
a
very
strong
fortresse
in
former
times
,
when
the
Megazine
of
munition
,
viz.
the
treasury
of
Tobacco-pipes
was
there
established
.
But
the
Megazine
is
remoued
,
and
the
place
much
weakened
,
their
Commanders
dispersed
about
Budge-row
,
and
scattered
in
Warwicke-lane
,
where
they
are
the
onely
vpholders
of
the
three-penny
ordinary
(
a
strange
alteration
.
)
The
poore
remainder
of
this
Garrison
,
vnlesse
they
be
speedily
relieued
by
them
of
the
Colledge
,
to
re-enforce
the
daily
assaults
of
the
enemy
,
must
of
necessity
yeeld
vp
all
with
much
dishonour
.
I
can
stay
no
longer
here
with
good
name
&
fame
,
and
therefore
I
returne
to
my
waterman
attending
all
this
while
,
who
is
to
set
me
ouer
to
Southwarke
,
and
land
me
at
an
excellent
hold
indeed
,
commonly
called
Mountague-close
,
sometimes
the
Scite
of
the
Monastery
of
Saint
Sauiours
neere
the
bridge
.
Mountague
close
.
ANd
though
the
Garrison
here
consist
not
of
so
many
old
Souldiers
,
yet
there
number
is
no
whit
inferiour
to
that
of
Ram-Ally
,
and
some
of
them
serue
on
both
sides
,
and
are
in
both
rolls
euer
attending
where
the
seruice
most
requireth
,
and
the
most
of
them
are
men
of
much
actiuity
.
The
eldest
company
within
it
,
are
and
haue
beene
directly
diers
in
graine
,
descended
from
the
race
of
the
old
blew
Brittaines
.
In
Lent
when
other
Garrisons
are
most
thinne
and
worst
victualled
,
these
doe
most
exceed
in
both
,
for
then
whole
troups
of
Butchers
from
the
Cantons
adioyning
,
offer
themselues
like
so
many
Switzers
vnto
them
:
and
conuey
by
land
and
water
to
that
place
,
such
abundance
of
cattle
fetcht
from
the
Kentish
Kernes
,
and
the
Sorry
Yonkry
about
them
,
as
makes
themselues
plumpe
and
pliable
for
any
enterprise
all
the
yeere
after
,
and
also
drawes
very
great
store
of
Wascoterians
and
handsome
Basketerians
vnto
them
from
all
parts
of
the
City
and
Suburbs
,
and
all
for
meere
carnality
.
Ely
Rents
.
THe
last
is
that
euerlasting
liberty
of
Ely
Rents
in
Holborne
,
which
is
so
aduantagiously
mounted
,
that
it
commands
all
the
leuell
beneath
it
.
It
is
a
worke
of
small
receipt
,
for
it
may
bee
made
—
good
,
with
three
Brokers
,
two
Coblers
,
a
Baker
and
a
Tapster
,
against
all
inuasions
and
Inuaders
whatsoeuer
.
I
cite
not
that
priuiledge
of
S.
Martins
le
grand
,
with
many
other
adioyning
,
which
haue
proper
officers
for
returne
of
writs
within
themselues
;
because
though
they
be
not
vnder
command
of
the
city
,
yet
they
admit
no
Sanctuary
or
refuge
to
the
borrower
,
vnto
whom
the
Fire
and
the
Frying-pan
are
both
alike
.
These
forementioned
Garrisons
,
Forts
and
Fortresses
,
stand
still
in
such
state
as
is
before
expressed
.
But
I
cannot
forget
the
present
estate
of
others
,
vpon
which
the
enemy
hath
entred
,
either
by
conquest
or
composition
:
Namely
,
Cold
Harbor
.
THat
of
Cold
Harbor
,
where
was
an
excellent
Blockhouse
to
correspond
with
that
of
the
close
on
the
other
side
.
Both
which
together
cleered
the
passage
of
the
riuer
betweene
them
,
so
that
no
water
Bayliffe
durst
come
within
their
reach
at
point
blanke
.
And
this
(
as
they
write
)
was
taken
in
by
the
sword
in
time
of

The
Spittle
and
Saint
Graces
,
had
all
their
Cooles
puld
o're
their
heads
,
and
so
were
all
for
the
most
part
led
into
the
city
captivitie
,
where
they
remaine
to
this
day
.
T
is
said
that
they
were
most
lost
by
this
meanes
,
that
they
suffered
those
of
the
Freedome
not
only
to
dwell
among
them
,
but
likewise
to
encrease
and
multiply
,
to
plant
and
supplant
,
the
Nobility
and
the
Gentry
which
vpheld
their
liberties
:
and
in
the
end
when
they
had
got
and
engrossed
all
power
of
office
,
trust
and
authority
,
into
their
hands
;
they
set
open
the
gates
and
suffered
the
military
men
of
the
Mace
to
enter
and
surprise
all
.
The
Commanders
of
the
city
were
onely
content
vpon
treaty
,
to
article
and
agree
with
those
of
the
Blacke-Friers
;
that
notwithstanding
they
so
entred
by
conquest
,
yet
the
old
companies
,
especially
the
English
Fether-makers
,
●he
Dutch
Iewellers
,
the
Scotch
Taylers
,
and
the
French
Shoomakers
,
with
some
other
forreigne
forces
,
should
haue
and
enioy
their
ancient
priuiledges
,
without
molestation
or
interruption
in
any
kinde

Saint
Bartholmewes
.
BVt
the
greatest
blow
that
euer
was
giuen
to
the
Borrower
,
was
the
taking
in
of
Saint
Bartholmewes
,
vpon
whose
plat-forme
A
whole
Army
of
Borrowers
and
Booke-men
might
haue
beene
mustered
and
drawne
out
in
length
,
or
into
what
forme
or
figure
it
had
pleased
them
to
cast
themselues
.
What
workes
,
yea
what
variety
of
art
and
workmanship
was
within
it
?
What
an
excellent
halfe
Moone
was
there
cast
vp
without
it
for
defence
,
towards
Aldersgate-street
?
What
Sconces
in
the
fashion
of
Tobaccoshops
and
Taphouses
,
in
all
parts
of
it
.
What
art
was
in
the
Silkeweauers
there
,
who
in
twisting
of
their
silke
made
it
serue
like
so
many
Opticke
lines
to
conuey
and
receiue
intelligence
to
and
fro
in
an
instant
,
and
laugh
to
scorne
asinissimum
illum
Nuntium
inanimatum
.
But
alas
,
these
are
all
demolisht
,
the
old
souldiers
discharg'd
,
and
all
deliuered
and
yeelded
vp
vpon
composition
and
consent
of
the
Commander
.
By
the
last
packet
we
receiue
newes
,
that
there
are
daily
assaults
made
vpon
Saint
Iohn
of
Ierusalem
.
It
is
said
likewise
that
they
are
in
a
mutiny
within
themselues
;
which
if
it
be
so
,
the
band
of
borrowers
there
billetted
will
be
shortly
disbanded
and
dismissed
vtterly
.
The
Iubilees
and
daies
of
Priviledge
follow
.
THe
vnparaleld
Parliament
is
the
first
and
of
all
others
the
best
.
The
very
Tunc
temporis
wherein
Iupiter
hath
the
full
effects
of
his
influence
,
when
he
is
in
his
masculine
house
,
and
in
a
full
aspect
(
hora
optima
.
)
The
next
is
a
time
of
a
raging
pestilence
:
for
if
the
serieants
doe
not
then
feare
the
plague
of
God
hanging
ouer
their
heads
,
I
know
not
what
the
deuill
will
feare
them
.
The
next
is
the
time
wherein
my
Lord
Mayor
takes
his
oath
:
For
then
the
Serieants
and
their
Yeomen
are
all
at
Westminster
(
hora
bona
.
)
The
next
is
that
wherein
the
Sheriffes
are
sworne
:
For
in
the
forenoone
the
Mace-men
attend
their
masters
.
At
noone
they
haue
enough
to
doe
to
wait
vpon
Mr.
Mayor
of
Oxfords
cups
:
And
in
the
afternoone
it
is
as
much
as
they
can
doe
to
get
home
.
Other
daies
of
priuiledge
are
all
such
wherein
they
are
all
generally
tied
to
attend
their
Sheriffes
to
Pauls
,
as
that
of
Christmas
day
,
All-saints
day
,
Candlemas
day
,
the
Coronation
day
,
the
Pouder-plot
,
and
the
fift
of
August
.
(
hora
mediocres
)
Only
take
heed
how
you
touch
at
any
Tauerne
neere
vnto
Pauls
after
the
Sherifes
are
once
set
,
and
vntill
they
bee
readie
to
depart
,
for
feare
of
free-booters
.
I
cannot
say
what
hope
there
is
in
the
priuiledge
of
the
Sabboth
,
but
there
is
great
presumption
vpon
the
benefit
of
those
times
,
wherein
the
Serieants
weare
their
best
Apparell
,
for
I
haue
obserued
that
they
will
make
bold
with
their
zeale
,
when
they
place
much
matter
of
conscience
in
their
clothes
.
The
daies
of
their
Spittle-sermons
are
especiall
good
ones
:
for
their
Masters
and
Mistresses
being
then
in
coniunction
,
it
requires
that
they
should
be
double
diligent
the
while
.
The
daies
wherein
the
great
Lords
come
downe
to
ociate
,
or
negotiate
,
eat
,
or
treat
with
their
Masters
,
are
reasonable
good
.
Whitsonday
at
the
new
Church-yard
does
well
,
but
I
am
afraid
that
they
will
not
bee
altogether
so
mad
as
to
be
all
comprised
within
the
perambulation
of
Bedlam
,
where
I
will
leaue
them
at
this
time
:
and
proceed
to
The
markes
of
a
Conscious
Cautious
Debtor
,
with
the
discipline
of
the
Mace
.
These
be
the
generall
Markes
.
-
1
Vncertainty
of
meeting
.
-
2
Obscurity
of
walking
.
-
3
Variety
of
lodging
.
-
4
Inconstancy
of
abiding
.
The
particular
markes
follow
.
At
the
lanes
end
he
euer
lookes
behinde
him
.
And
after
he
is
once
turned
out
of
sight
he
mends
his
pace
in
an
extraordinary
degree
of
footmanship
,
till
he
haue
gained
some
ground
of
the
followers
.
And
then
he
makes
another
stand
to
take
notice
whether
any
of
them
haue
arriued
thither
with
more
than
ordinary
speed
,
or
precipitate
himselfe
at
the
comming
about
the
lanes
end
,
which
is
the
certaine
signe
of
a
Setter
or
a
Serieant
.
He
neuer
keepes
the
proponticke
passage
.
He
hath
a
catalogue
of
all
Tauernes
with
backe
doores
,
especially
to
the
waters
side
.
Difference
of
attire
(
if
he
haue
it
)
stands
him
in
great
stead
.
He
enuies
the
encrease
of
the
Moone
more
then
he
pitties
the
decrease
of
his
owne
fortunes
.
Hee
knowes
there
s
little
got
by
running
,
and
lesse
by
rising
at
the
Serieants
hands
.
Therefore
when
he
hath
businesse
to
doe
on
the
next
day
,
he
commonly
remoues
himselfe
ore
night
to
the
end
he
may
haue
a
safe
mornings
flight
.
His
meetings
(
when
he
does
say
and
hold
)
are
in
places
where
he
may
stand
as
much
vpon
his
reputation
as
his
Tailor
may
vpon
his
credit
.
With
the
Italian
he
does
much
mislike
the
ouer-hasty
manner
of
pace
vsed
by
our
nation
in
the
city
,
(
a
place
of
ciuility
,
and
that
in
the
following
of
their
ordinary
affaires
.
He
is
better
at
retriuing
then
at
contriuing
.
He
is
a
great
enemy
to
idlenesse
,
for
he
loues
not
to
see
one
stand
leaning
at
a
stall
,
or
looking
about
him
,
where
he
claimes
no
propertie
,
nor
owes
any
seruice
.
He
learned
of
his
Grandmother
to
hate
whistling
after
candle-light
aboue
all
things
.
He
prayes
not
in
common
for
me
,
but
that
the
Commons
may
meet
in
for
me
(
as
aforesaid
.
)
And
no
sinne
stickes
so
impressiuely
in
his
conscience
,
or
disperses
it selfe
through
his
whole
heart
,
as
that
he
euer
paid
any
thing
to
his
Creditors
in
part
.
The
Discipline
now
offers
it selfe
,
and
the
Mace
is
lifted
vp
,
in
Terrorem
populi
.
WIthin
London
there
are
two
regiments
of
Mace-men
.
The
one
is
incamped
in
the
Poultry
.
The
other
in
Woodstreet
.
The
greater
number
of
them
attend
their
colours
where
they
are
euer
ready
to
sally
vpon
the
Alarum
or
signall
giuen
.
Other
of
them
guard
their
Collonels
person
by
turnes
.
And
the
rest
are
appointed
and
exposed
(
as
followeth
.
)
So
many
of
the
best
able
and
most
trusty
of
their
Cauallerie
,
as
their
seruice
requires
,
especially
in
terme
time
,
are
planted
at
Chancery
lane
end
,
to
make
good
that
place
,
and
to
cut
off
such
as
issue
out
of
the
workes
on
the
other
side
,
or
come
downe
from
other
parts
to
put
themselues
vnder
the
protection
of
them
.
Of
these
Chancery-lane
end
men
,
if
the
designe
doe
deserue
it
,
some
one
or
two
are
drawne
out
of
them
,
to
defeat
the
passage
betweene
the
middle
Temple
and
the
Bell
or
the
Barre-gate
,
but
this
is
vpon
especiall
occasion
,
and
therefore
seldome
attempted
,
but
when
they
haue
intelligence
of
some
extraordinary
booty
,
or
good
pillage
comming
that
way
.
Others
of
them
are
quartered
in
Smithfield
,
where
euery
Monday
,
Wednesday
and
Friday
,
they
stand
charg'd
with
cocke
vp
,
ready
to
giue
fire
at
euery
poore
Butcher
in
the
Grasiers
quarrell
,
and
these
are
of
their
Infantry
.
Others
are
on
euery
market
day
commanded
for
Leaden-hall
,
where
they
serue
one-day
vnder
the
Tanner
,
against
the
shoo-maker
,
another
day
vnder
the
Butcher
against
the
●●●mer
,
and
sometimes
for
the
Scriuener
against
both
.
Others
are
appointed
to
other
seueralll
markets
,
where
rather
then
they
will
want
entertainment
,
they
will
beare
armes
against
the
very
butter-wiues
(
enough
to
make
their
hearts
to
melt
with
the
very
thought
out
)
the
eldest
sort
of
them
,
such
as
hold
charge
,
rather
for
their
aduice
then
their
ability
,
are
laid
at
the
Exchange
,
where
though
the
seruice
be
daily
,
and
the
Nation
against
whom
they
serue
are
all
people
of
great
stomacke
,
meeting
euer
at
dinner
and
supper
times
onely
,
yet
the
danger
is
but
small
in
regard
they
haue
the
Country
round
about
to
friend
.
The
only
Despervieos
among
them
are
seuerally
appointed
to
the
seuerall
gates
,
where
they
scoure
and
keepe
cleere
the
passage
to
the
Barres
,
being
the
vtmost
extent
of
their
workes
.
They
are
all
right
perfect
at
their
Postures
:
As
Beare
your
Musket
vnder
your
left
arme
,
id
est
,
Be
sure
to
touch
the
prisoner
on
the
sword
side
.
Pull
out
your
Scowrer
,
id
est
,
Draw
your
Warrant
.
Aduance
your
Pike
,
id
est
,
Exalt
your
Mace
.
Cocke
your
Match
,
id
est
,
Enter
your
Action
.
And
so
for
euery
posture
,
Punctually
and
particularly
in
his
order
.
Then
for
Stratagems
of
warre
,
they
ride
the
ancient
discipline
,
quite
dagger
out
of
sheath
.
The
best
that
Roman
Histories
affoord
vs
,
is
of
that
one
noble
resolution
,
who
to
gaine
beliefe
and
credit
of
the
enemy
,
mangled
himselfe
,
tunning
out
of
the
gates
into
their
Campe
to
complaine
his
owne
misery
and
his
Countries
tyranny
,
with
offer
of
giuing
them
vp
into
the
enemies
hand
,
only
for
actuation
of
his
owne
reuenge
.
But
giue
me
the
plot
that
conquers
at
a
farre
lesse
price
.
A
Porters
frocke
(
a
Proiect
of
excellent
carriage
.
)
A
Lawyers
gowne
,
(
Latet
quod
non
patet
.
)
A
Scriueners
Pen
and
Inke-horne
(
a
designe
of
deeper
reach
then
you
are
aware
on
.
)
These
shall
make
his
passage
,
sine
sanguine
&
sudore
.
This
is
your
only
Proiector
indeed
,
whose
first
ancestor
was
begot
betweene
the
man
i'
th
Moone
,
and
Tom
Lancasters
Laundresse
,
vpon
a
faire
fagot
pile
,
from
whom
are
descended
the
only
Choristers
of
our
counter-quire
.
It
would
doe
you
good
to
heare
the
whole
packe
of
these
together
,
they
are
so
excellent
for
sent
and
cry
.
But
the
best
mouth'd
among
them
in
truth
,
and
for
my
money
,
the
onely
mouth
is
without
Bishopsgate
.
And
the
best
sented
at
the
vpper
end
of
red-crosse
street
,
iust
at
the
entrance
into
Golding-lane
,
into
whose
sweet
bosome
I
commit
them
all
,
and
there
leaue
them
.
It
may
be
expected
that
I
should
say
somewhat
of
the
Discipline
of
the
Bailifes
,
but
especially
of
those
of
the
Vierge
and
the
Clinkonians
.
But
some
of
them
haue
no
Discipline
or
order
at
all
,
and
the
rest
very
little
.
The
poore
Pichard
cannot
out
pilfer
them
in
the
plaine
path-way
of
their
practise
,
they
hold
no
good
quartering
with
any
man
,
but
are
more
desirous
of
prey
then
of
lawfull
conquest
.
The
better
sort
of
them
goe
in
bootes
without
spurres
,
and
they
for
the
most
part
are
bought
in
Turning-stile
lane
in
Holborne
:
the
Author
holds
them
not
worthy
his
penne
,
or
to
be
rank't
with
the
men
of
the
mace
before
mentioned
,
and
therefore
by
his
good
will
he
will
haue
nothing
to
doe
with
them
at
any
hand
.
The
Creditors
part
.
FOr
the
Debtors
part
,
I
am
perswaded
that
our
Author
hath
performed
it
reasonable
well
.
But
for
the
other
of
the
Creditor
(
to
say
the
truth
)
he
hath
practised
that
part
very
little
hitherto
,
and
therefore
is
very
diffident
of
his
abilitie
therein
.
Yet
howsoere
,
hee
le
stand
vpon
his
credit
,
And
iustifie
his
word
,
because
he
sed
it
.
For
the
charitable
extent
of
the
Creditors
curtesie
.
VErily
this
man
of
Credence
doth
obserue
these
principles
in
all
his
proceeding
of
this
nature
.
First
,
that
he
may
lend
or
trust
vpon
such
conditions
as
may
tend
to
the
benefit
of
the
Borrower
or
Debtor
chiefly
.
Then
,
that
his
owne
gaine
may
be
moderate
.
Then
,
that
there
may
be
Record
thereof
kept
for
testimony
of
his
sincere
intention
,
in
two
or
three
seuerall
bookes
at
the
least
.
And
lastly
,
he
doth
not
onely
lend
or
trust
,
but
farther
giueth
it
a
blessing
,
that
it
may
yeeld
much
increase
to
the
borrower
and
debter
.
The
reasons
hereof
are
all
as
pregnant
as
pious
.
1.
For
it
is
better
for
him
to
build
then
to
pull
downe
.
2.
He
will
not
grinde
the
forehead
of
his
poore
brother
.
3
His
booke
cannot
erre
,
for
it
admits
no
tradition
,
but
the
pure
and
vncorrupted
text
it selfe
,
as
it
was
deliuered
in
the
primitiue
register
,
while
Thomas
his
fore-man
was
yet
liuing
,
and
did
beare
record
as
a
faithfull
witnesse
of
these
proceedings
.
And
though
the
blessing
be
bestowed
vpon
a
dead
commodity
,
yet
I
hope
it
argues
no
superstition
in
him
that
giueth
it
.
And
all
this
is
apparantly
good
till
we
come
to
The
mystery
of
Multiplication
.
TRadition
,
it
is
not
tollerable
but
an
abomination
,
and
yet
our
Creditor
holds
that
Addition
in
the
secret
of
shop-booke
may
bee
very
allowable
.
For
so
long
as
he
doth
onely
make
vp
in
credits
what
he
hath
lost
in
stocke
,
or
what
is
decaid
in
necessary
expences
,
and
not
riotously
or
vainly
,
seeing
the
wicked
are
but
vsurpers
of
the
riches
of
this
world
,
it
is
lawfull
for
him
with
an
equall
hand
to
bee
carried
among
his
Debtors
by
way
of
apportionment
,
to
rate
and
assesse
them
at
his
discretion
.
He
will
take
no
interest
,
nor
wrong
his
conscience
for
any
good
,
his
shop-booke
hath
hitherto
held
good
name
and
fame
.
Heresies
may
creepe
into
the
Church
daily
,
but
neuer
into
his
shop-booke
in
any
wise
:
there
is
nothing
there
but
what
hath
beene
deliuered
,
and
his
seruants
(
especially
one
amongst
the
rest
)
will
as
boldly
as
any
Brewers
desperate
Clarke
maintaine
and
iustifie
it
:
shall
he
not
maintaine
his
masters
mystery
,
when
they
are
both
to
be
saued
by
the
same
faith
?
Why
,
he
shall
put
the
debtor
in
minde
of
the
deliuery
of
euery
parcell
,
with
all
the
circumstances
to
it
,
for
he
remembers
it
as
perfectly
,
as
if
it
had
beene
done
but
yesterday
.
Now
the
Debtor
beginnes
to
quarrell
the
Shop-booke
,
my
Creditor
is
most
iustly
incensed
:
And
therefore
now
in
the
next
place
The
Crow
lookes
to
eat
the
Oister
aliue
,
but
is
caught
in
the
attempt
,
and
the
hand
in
the
Shop-booke
breedes
the
winde-collique
in
the
warehouse
,
which
shak't
the
Fabrique
and
foundation
of
all
his
factory
as
followeth
:
Suppose
the
tide
is
now
comming
in
,
and
the
poore
Oister
gapes
for
some
refection
in
the
moisture
of
it
.
The
Birds
of
prey
(
s●ilicet
)
the
shop-keeper
the
Crow
,
and
the
Vsurer
the
Cormorant
:
these
houer
about
it
,
each
of
them
hoping
to
pull
it
out
of
the
little
〈◊〉
where
it
dwells
,
and
to
deuoure
it
aliue
.
Hereupon
the
Cormorant
and
the
Crow
contend
for
the
prize
:
The
Crow
claimes
it
as
a
Stray
lost
,
and
left
without
the
bounds
of
any
watry
couerture
on
the
dry
land
at
a
low
ebbe
,
The
Cormorant
challenges
it
neuerthelesse
,
as
being
still
within
his
high
water-marke
;
Then
the
Crow
alledges
that
its
so
wasted
(
wanting
water
)
that
it
is
become
no
better
then
Carrion
,
and
therefore
it
does
properly
belong
vnto
him
.
The
Cormorant
denies
that
,
and
assures
him
that
the
Oister
is
yet
aliue
,
and
therefore
no
carrion
.
But
the
Crow
had
giuen
so
much
credit
formerly
,
that
he
would
now
scarce
beleeue
his
owne
eies
(
especially
in
his
wifes
case
)
he
would
by
no
meanes
beleeue
this
to
bee
true
,
and
therefore
in
hope
to
cousen
the
Cormorant
,
he
desires
that
he
may
only
feele
with
his
bill
whether
it
were
so
or
no
?
Leaue
is
giuen
by
the
Cormorant
,
who
thought
it
was
enough
for
the
Crow
to
smell
vpon
the
prey
,
intending
that
neuer
any
more
should
come
to
his
share
:
Then
the
Crow
who
knew
how
to
tickle
a
Trout
at
his
pleasure
,
did
without
assistance
of
Constable
or
aduice
of
Counsell
,
make
a
most
violent
entry
vpon
the
Oister
,
which
presently
claps
to
his
doore
,
shuts
the
Crow
within
,
and
caught
him
so
fast
by
his
bill
of
entry
,
that
all
Colchester
and
the
custome-house
can
testifie
to
this
day
,
with
what
vncustomed
and
vncourteous
entertainment
he
was
there
receiued
.
Well
might
the
Crow
cry
and
call
for
his
companion
the
Cormorant
to
redeeme
him
from
captiuity
,
but
all
was
in
vaine
.
The
doores
were
shut
vp
,
he
could
not
so
much
as
belch
at
the
key
hole
,
or
let
out
the
wind
which
troubled
the
warehouse
by
any
meanes
forward
or
backward
,
the
very
foundation
of
the
shop
and
shopbord
,
were
shaken
with
the
violence
thereof
.
Being
in
this
extremity
,
and
so
taken
with
the
wind
,
that
nothing
applied
inwardly
could
possibly
helpe
him
,
he
calls
for
the
shop-booke
,
and
beginnes
to
coniure
the
collicque
with
such
terrible
charmes
and
incantations
,
as
the
like
were
neuer
deuised
nor
put
into
any
pentacle
:
Then
he
raised
the
great
Prince
,
In
primis
,
out
of
his
Easterne
Emperie
,
with
a
legion
of
Items
attending
him
.
These
two
hee
sets
to
taske
,
and
enioynes
them
to
distinguish
his
Debtors
in
Spero
,
from
those
in
Despero
,
and
to
deale
more
plainly
with
him
herein
,
then
Widdowes
vse
to
doe
by
their
Husbands
estates
in
the
Court
of
Orphans
,
and
else-where
:
They
performe
his
designe
instantly
,
and
the
greater
number
appeared
to
be
perdues
directly
desperate
and
debilitate
,
amongst
the
which
my
cousin
Courtier
and
my
Innes
of
Court-man
were
of
the
number
.
The
Courtiers
suit
did
long
languish
and
was
palliated
and
vpheld
with
letters
commendatory
,
it
complain'd
much
of
the
disease
called
the
reference
,
it
was
a
little
lightened
by
a
Cordiall
certificat
laterly
,
yet
in
the
end
no
meanes
nor
medicine
could
serue
the
turne
,
but
of
a
stopping
and
obstruction
at
the
great
seale
it
died
.
The
Innes
of
Court
m●n
was
neither
heire
nor
aged
sufficiently
,
for
the
enabling
of
any
such
act
as
hee
had
vndertaken
publikely
by
deed
,
or
priuatly
in
the
shop-booke
.
The
Scriuener
,
the
City
counsaile
,
himselfe
,
and
all
were
fatally
infatuated
,
betraid
with
a
beard
,
and
foold
with
formalitie
.
The
wind
rises
more
and
more
,
the
storme
encreaseth
,
strange
stitches
on
euery
side
of
the
shop
,
wonderfull
weaknesse
in
the
ware-house
,
and
convulsions
in
the
Counter-boord
and
box
,
complaine
and
cry
out
vpon
the
Collique
,
at
whose
mercy
we
leaue
him
,
expecting
the
eruption
thereof
very
speedily
.
The
Signes
fore-running
the
wonderfull
Cracke
.
THe
certaine
Signes
in
a
Citizen
are
these
:
He
striues
to
be
call'd
into
such
office
,
especially
as
whereby
he
may
haue
the
stocke
of
the
Parish
or
Company
in
his
custody
.
He
giues
ground
in
matter
of
payment
,
the
longer
he
deales
,
the
more
hee
leaues
in
the
remainder
vpon
euery
payment
.
He
leaues
the
plaine
path
of
his
profession
,
and
places
more
faith
in
a
Proiect
,
then
in
all
the
probabilities
of
his
owne
Trading
:
and
when
a
Citizen
turnes
Proiector
,
he
has
the
very
tokens
of
the
wonderfull
Cracke
vpon
him
.
His
Country
house
is
too
little
for
him
,
and
it
wants
a
gate-house
for
his
Wife
and
Coach
to
come
in
at
,
and
therefore
there
must
be
laid
out
in
building
thrice
as
much
as
the
Fee-simple
of
all
when
it
is
finished
will
affoord
.
Hee
takes
vp
at
interest
to
make
good
the
building
:
all
his
good
debts
hee
sets
ouer
to
the
immediate
accountant
in
trust
,
and
with
an
intention
to
preuent
his
Creditors
.
All
his
purchases
are
either
in
the
name
of
his
sonne
,
or
some
trusty
Kinsman
of
his
wines
.
The
neerer
the
Cracke
,
the
faster
he
laies
about
him
,
to
take
vp
in
any
kinde
,
and
vpon
any
conditions
,
then
he
conueies
all
things
of
value
out
of
his
house
.
And
at
last
he
giues
fire
with
a
report
of
his
great
losses
at
or
beyond
the
seas
,
where
he
(
God
wot
)
had
neuer
any
factory
or
dealing
in
all
his
life
time
.
Then
hee
sends
his
Wife
to
her
Mothers
,
where
shee
must
liue
awhile
,
that
shee
may
not
be
troubled
with
the
noise
and
clamour
of
the
Creditor
.
Hee
betakes
himselfe
to
his
Chamber
,
keepes
the
shop
windowes
shut
,
and
prouides
a
Catalogue
of
all
his
desperate
credits
onely
to
deliuer
to
his
Creditors
,
when
they
shall
come
to
treat
vpon
the
subiect
of
satisfaction
.
The
newes
reaches
to
the
Exchange
by
noone
,
where
they
that
haue
giuen
credit
to
him
,
looke
so
prettily
and
pittifully
one
vpon
another
,
as
you
might
know
and
challenge
them
by
their
faces
.
Then
they
gather
together
,
and
conferre
their
notes
,
and
cast
vp
the
whole
summe
what
all
their
credits
may
come
vnto
,
onely
some
of
the
more
pragmaticall
sort
,
who
feare
to
publish
their
losses
lest
their
owne
estates
should
come
likewise
in
question
,
doe
dissemble
the
matter
,
and
speake
with
the
least
.
Others
that
suspect
,
it
may
bee
their
owne
case
very
shortly
,
pitty
the
mans
misfortune
,
blame
the
hardnesse
of
the
times
,
deadnesse
of
trade
,
and
scarcity
of
coine
,
recounting
what
he
is
out
for
forreigne
plantations
abroad
,
and
other
contributions
at
home
,
and
with
what
charge
he
hath
gone
through
so
many
offices
in
so
short
time
,
whereat
euery
man
relents
and
lets
slacke
his
more
strict
purposes
,
agreeing
all
to
go
to
his
house
to
conferre
with
him
after
dinner
.
And
so
dismisse
we
them
till
then
.
IT
may
be
you
looke
I
should
haue
spoken
somwhat
of
the
Cracke
of
my
City
gallant
,
but
it
is
improper
to
place
him
amongst
Creditors
that
has
beene
bred
a
borrower
from
his
cradle
,
and
that
according
to
the
custome
of
the
Citie
:
let
it
only
suffice
,
that
though
he
had
not
his
country
house
,
yet
he
had
his
country
hostesse
,
and
though
he
dealt
not
in
court
Proiection
,
yet
he
kept
a
vile
coile
for
court
Protection
.
His
Hostesse
she
paid
the
old
Widdowes
and
his
young
Mistresse
their
debts
in
the
same
coine
that
he
tendred
to
them
.
And
at
last
when
his
insoluency
appeared
vpon
euery
post
,
shee
prefer'd
any
Iustice
of
peace
his
Clarke
thereabouts
to
her
respectuality
before
him
,
so
that
there
was
neither
abiding
at
Rumford
,
nor
returne
to
London
,
but
he
must
of
necessity
make
a
voyage
,
be
it
but
to
Britlesey
,
where
hee
lies
close
vnder
a
borrowed
name
,
which
was
the
last
commodity
that
euer
he
tooke
vp
,
till
his
friends
shall
haue
rectified
his
credit
,
and
restored
him
to
the
estate
from
which
he
was
so
lately
collapsed
and
fallen
.
The
recouery
of
the
old
man
,
with
the
common
comfort
which
it
did
beget
,
hold
the
next
place
.
AFter
dinner
all
the
Creditors
met
againe
on
the
Exchange
,
where
they
hold
full
three
houres
conference
,
during
which
time
not
any
of
them
did
beleeue
one
word
which
another
spake
vnto
him
,
for
they
were
too
wise
and
learned
in
the
vse
and
exercise
of
conformity
,
to
speake
the
simple
truth
,
because
they
were
to
deale
in
a
matter
mixt
and
compounded
of
many
ingredient
credits
commedled
and
put
together
.
From
hence
they
goe
to
the
house
of
their
Debtor
,
in
number
as
many
as
a
whole
colledge
of
Physicians
to
enquire
for
their
Patient
:
they
are
forthwith
brought
vp
vnto
him
into
his
chamber
,
where
they
found
him
in
an
old
suit
onely
fit
for
garbling
or
eating
of
greene-fish
,
with
as
many
night-caps
vpon
his
head
as
there
bee
cups
in
a
nest
of
Court-dishes
,
and
the
old
gowne
which
was
alwaies
wont
to
lie
at
the
Hall
for
ordinary
daies
:
in
stead
of
plate
there
were
only
two
full
Vrinalls
standing
vpon
the
Court-cubbord
,
by
which
they
might
discerne
the
great
disabilitie
and
weaknesse
,
which
the
windchollique
had
wrought
within
him
.
And
in
stead
of
accounts
,
bonds
and
bills
,
and
other
euidences
,
there
lay
only
open
before
him
,
the
foresaid
Catalogue
consisting
of
desperate
debts
and
debtors
(
as
aforesaid
.
)
They
salute
him
as
if
they
did
in
a
manner
partly
remember
him
,
and
then
all
together
,
as
well
the
man
of
ten
,
as
he
of
two
and
twenty
hundred
in
credits
,
without
difference
,
put
forward
for
the
first
deliuery
of
his
minde
vnto
him
.
This
disorder
was
much
blamed
by
the
grauer
sort
,
and
vpon
better
aduice
,
select
men
were
drawne
out
of
them
to
compound
,
for
so
many
as
would
voluntarily
conforme
themselues
,
which
was
to
be
done
according
to
the
Catalogue
,
and
as
the
ability
would
beare
it
.
In
the
meane
time
a
letter
of
licence
is
sealed
for
his
liberty
,
to
call
in
and
recouer
what
was
due
vnto
himselfe
.
This
Letter
of
licence
begat
a
commission
of
conformity
,
and
then
to
worke
they
go
full
roundly
:
some
of
the
chiefe
who
had
taken
other
and
better
conditions
of
satisfaction
of
him
in
priuat
,
then
the
rest
,
shewed
much
forwardnesse
in
the
publike
way
of
composition
,
and
in
the
end
did
so
strengthen
their
party
,
that
they
preuailed
against
the
other
.
The
whole
debt
was
cryed
downe
to
six
and
eight
pence
in
the
pound
,
the
windowes
were
opened
,
the
seruants
in
the
shop
flung
vp
their
caps
,
the
Curse
was
remoued
from
their
house
,
their
Master
was
a
recouered
man
,
and
none
but
a
banquerupt
would
say
to
the
contrary
.
Their
Mistresse
was
sent
for
home
with
all
the
speed
that
might
be
,
and
this
night
all
her
kindred
and
their
masters
friends
were
to
solemnize
this
happy
recouery
of
the
decayed
man
,
where
they
meant
to
drinke
to
the
health
of
six
and
eight
pence
,
from
six
in
the
euening
till
eight
next
morning
.
The
common
Comfort
only
remaines
.
NOw
the
recouered
man
makes
a
most
strickt
scruteny
and
reuiew
into
his
shop-bookes
,
as
well
for
debtors
soluent
as
insoluent
,
he
confers
his
Registers
all
together
,
and
where
he
finds
a
debt
vncrost
in
any
one
of
them
,
though
it
be
discharged
in
the
other
two
it
makes
no
matter
,
this
is
it
by
which
he
must
stand
charged
,
and
vnlesse
hee
can
discharge
himselfe
by
this
also
,
hee
is
like
to
perish
and
receiue
condemnation
by
the
very
letter
without
tradition
.
He
will
spare
no
man
whom
the
Law
puts
into
his
hands
,
lest
he
become
a
partaker
in
his
iniquity
.
Hee
calls
home
all
things
which
hee
had
formerly
conu●ighed
out
of
doores
.
And
sets
forward
his
building
in
the
country
.
He
flourishes
as
he
neuer
did
before
,
and
will
giue
1000
pound
with
his
lame
daughter
now
,
more
then
he
offered
with
her
at
the
last
swan-hopping
.
Hee
le
out
bid
all
the
towne
for
the
great
and
lesser
sonnes
.
Briefly
,
he
vowes
:
To
redeeme
the
time
past
.
To
preuent
the
euill
day
to
come
.
To
runne
the
course
,
and
tread
in
the
footsteps
of
some
of
the
right

WHereas
in
these
latter
times
it
concernes
vs
in
ciuill
pollicy
,
to
be
so
much
the
more
industrious
as
we
are
become
numerous
aboue
formerages
,
and
no
endeauour
can
bee
so
beneficiall
and
honourable
as
the
enlarging
of
our
territory
by
discouery
and
plantation
in
parts
habitable
and
agreeable
with
our
debitory
disposition
,
where
wee
may
disperse
our
Colonies
with
more
conueniency
and
aduantage
then
at
this
present
:
for
which
purpose
wee
haue
lately
imploied
and
set
forth
the
good
ship
,
called
(
The
least
in
sight
)
accompanied
with
that
approued
and
well
appointed
Pinace
(
The
pay
nought
)
the
charge
and
command
of
both
which
,
we
conferd
vpon
Mr
Cliuer
Owemuch
,
who
man'd
,
the
same
with
persons
best
qualified
in
the
Art
of
Insoluency
,
the
greater
part
whereof
,
himselfe
had
knowne
and
tried
to
be
men
of
much
trust
,
being
his
owne
Creditors
,
and
creatures
of
his
owne
discreation
,
whose
louing
kindnesses
he
requited
in
manner
of
imploiment
following
,
viz.
His
Mercer
he
made
Master
of
(
The
least
in
sight
)
and
his
Baker
Boat-swaine
.
And
because
his
Vintner
had
bestowed
many
a
shot
vpon
him
in
prosperity
,
he
made
him
Master
Gunner
in
his
aduersity
.
His
Tobacco-man
desired
to
bee
the
Gunners
mate
,
because
he
would
make
all
smoake
againe
.
A
Purser
they
needed
not
:
for
besides
that
,
they
had
all
bad
memories
in
calling
of
things
past
to
remembrance
,
they
held
it
a
foolish
thing
to
keepe
accounts
where
there
was
no
purpose
of
payment
.
His
Haberdasher
came
somewhat
with
the
latest
,
but
his
Laundresse
by
the
power
of
her
Letters
commendatory
,
preferd
her
husband
to
bee
Controuller
of
the
Coile
,
Remembrancer
of
the
Bilbowes
,
and
Yeoman
Squabber
of
(
The
pay
nought
.
)
And
his
Taylor
last
of
all
,
because
hee
had
the
best
stomacke
to
the
action
,
he
was
made
Steward
,
and
had
charge
of
the
victuall
for
the
voyage
.
Being
thus
prouided
on
Munday
the
first
of
March
,
the
wind
blew
faire
from
the
East
,
when
they
left
the
Temple-staires
:
And
the
same
day
being
Saint
Dauids
day
,
the
aire
grew
thicke
and
very
foggy
,
insomuch
that
the
pinace
had
lost
the
Admirall
,
had
it
not
in
stead
of
a
light
in
her
Lanthorne
hung
vp
a
Leeke
in
the
maine
top
,
by
the
sent
whereof
it
recouered
sight
of
her
againe
the
next
morning
by
breake
of
day
.
On
the
second
,
third
,
and
fourth
day
the
weather
was
very
variable
and
stormy
,
howsoeuer
they
still
spoond
onward
for
most
aduantage
.
About
eight
of
the
clocke
on
fryday
the
fifth
of
May
,
their
Pylot
who
had
beene
a
Spectacle-maker
and
a
Prospectuary
without
Temple-barre
,
descried
a
saile
making
towards
them
which
they
suspected
by
his
flag
to
be
the
water-bailiffe
of
London
.
Hereupon
a
Councell
was
call'd
aboord
,
the
Captaine
to
consider
what
was
to
be
done
in
this
imminent
extremity
.
Some
aduised
that
it
were
fit
to
make
the
land
,
if
they
knew
where
to
touch
without
hazzard
.
Others
of
higher
resolution
aduised
to
stand
the
fortune
of
a
Sea-fight
,
and
to
draw
their
number
out
of
sight
into
the
hold
,
whereby
to
encourage
the
enemy
to
a
neerer
approach
,
which
opinion
was
generally
receiued
and
allowed
.
Presently
,
as
the
occasion
required
,
it
was
agreed
that
for
the
sublimation
of
euery
sparke
Spirit
amongst
them
,
there
should
be
an
extraordinary
allowance
made
instantly
(
that
was
)
the
full
proportion
of
one
pipe
of
Tobacco
,
and
a
Temple-pot
of
six
to
euery
two
of
them
,
which
when
they
had
cheerefully
past
about
;
the
Taylor
whose
conscience
was
more
tender
then
his
stomacke
,
would
needs
bee
resolued
in
two
points
concerning
his
soules
health
before
the
fight
should
begin
.
The
first
was
,
whether
the
cause
and
quarrell
which
they
were
to
vndertake
were
iustifiable
or
no
,
for
that
he
euer
held
Ludgate
more
worthy
then
Newgate
in
diuers
respects
:
and
the
next
was
in
case
he
should
miscarry
in
the
action
,
whether
Limbus
patrum
&
infantum
,
were
not
vnder
his
owne
shop-boord
or
no.
Before
my
Taylor
could
haue
opinion
herein
of
their
Captaines
Chaplaine
,
who
had
beene
a
Viniger-man
formerly
,
and
a
fellow
of
excellent
sharpe
apprehension
:
the
supposed
enemie
came
within
shot
,
wherevpon
euery
one
of
them
began
to
apply
him
to
his
charge
.
But
iust
as
Matter
Gunner
was
ready
to
let
flie
,
(
not
for
feare
I
hope
)
they
perceiued
no
other
assailants
but
the
Church-wardens
of
new
Braineford
,
who
were
bound
for
London
to
buy
bells
,
not
for
the
Church
but
their
morrice
dance
against
the
ensuing
Whirson-ale
.
Hereupon
for
their
better
recouery
,
the
allowance
was
againe
doubled
to
euery
one
of
them
.
And
on
they
passe
brauely
till
on
Saterday
the
sixth
,
they
discerned
firme
land
,
lying
vpon
the
Savoyans
Eastward
.
Here
the
Captaine
drew
out
the
one
halfe
of
his
forces
,
and
with
his
long
boat
put
them
to
land
,
where
they
found
a
most
spatious
continent
fit
for
plantation
at
foure
degrees
beyond
the
Temple
,
the
climate
exceeding
temperate
so
long
as
you
pay
the
Tennis-court
keeper
for
your
lodging
,
the
accommodations
most
excellent
,
either
thorow
the
white
Hart
into
the
Couent-Garden
,
and
so
into
the
countrie
round
about
;
or
from
the
great
house
thorow
the
Swanne
into
Drury-lane
,
and
so
forth
free
as
bird
in
the
aire
:
The
Lacedemonian
women
supply
them
with
fish
and
fruit
of
all
sorts
,
which
they
bring
downe
in
aboundance
from
the
vpland
countries
:
insomuch
as
there
is
neither
feare
of
want
of
victuals
,
so
long
as
they
haue
mony
;
Nor
of
security
while
they
doe
put
themselues
vnder
the
protection
of
Denmarke-house
:
Heere
they
left
the
Haberdasher
and
certaine
other
to
winter
it
,
and
the
rest
returned
aboord
the
ninth
day
of
May
,
bearing
their
course
still
West
and
by
North
:
On
the
the
twelfth
day
,
Cape
Virde
,
or
Greenes
wharfe
,
did
shew
it selfe
vnto
them
,
where
they
likewise
put
in
,
&
forraged
cleane
thorow
it
on
both
sides
.
This
place
(
besides
other
goodly
beasts
of
all
sorts
)
is
most
famous
for
Harts
,
whose
hornes
are
of
the
comliest
branch
and
spreading
,
as
also
of
dimension
and
extension
that
can
be
;
so
that
in
memory
of
them
,
the
Captaine
named
the
place
Harts-horne-Ally
:
Then
the
which
no
place
hitherto
discouered
,
is
of
a
more
capable
continent
,
or
more
rich
in
Minerals
,
Vegitatiues
or
Victuals
,
or
more
agreeable
with
the
constitution
of
our
countirimen
,
especially
if
they
be
married
.
The
seuerall
commodities
and
merchandizes
whereof
you
shall
receiue
more

vpon

Least

In
the
meane
time
we
exhort
you
that
both
with
cheerefull
contribution
,
and
otherwise
with
your

you
doe
not
onely
vphold

but
also

so
happily
discouered

Councell

Aduenturers
of

So
