THE
DISCOVERY
OF
THE
Knights
of
the
Poste
.
AS
I
traveiled
towardes
Plimmoth
,
this
last
voyage
,
vpon
my
well
approued
hacney
,
(
ould
Bayard
of
tentors
)
it
was
my
goodlucke
a
little
on
this
side
Hounslowe
,
(
iust
vpon
the
heath
,
where
that
villaine
was
hanged
in
chaines
,
that
murdered
the
maiden
in
the
wood
)
to
overtake
a
wel
trust
fellow
mounted
vpon
as
proper
an
nagge
as
my
own
,
but
not
altogether
so
well
paced
:
At
what
time
I
bad
him
good
morrow
,
good
morrow
(
quoth
he
:
)
God
graunt
it
prove
so
,
but
as
I
spe●de
,
so
will
I
praise
the
day
:
why
sir
(
said
I
)
then
well
overtaken
,
I
trust
my
greeting
deserves
noe
grudge
.
In
deeds
(
quoth
he
)
well
ouertaken
but
ill
found
.
I
musing
at
the
man
what
he
meant
by
these
quibs
,
〈◊〉
him
how
so
?
Because
(
said
he
)
my
purse
is
as
empty
as
my
belly
,
and
yet
my
stomacke
as
good
as
yours
.
I
tolde
him
that
matter
would
be
soone
amended
,
if
he
wanted
pence
,
to
leaue
a
pawne
for
his
breakfast
:
The
man
hearing
me
say
so
:
answered
,
my
counsaile
was
better
then
my
charity
,
and
yet
(
quoth
he
)
your
charity
may
be
better
then
my
pawne
:
for
I
assure
you
,
●
suppose
you
have
more
to
giue
,
then
I
have
to
gage
:
and
yet
yesterday
,
I
had
as
much
money
as
would
fill
a
quart
potte
,
if
my
wisedome
had
boene
so
good
to
keepe
it
:
Certainly
(
said
I
)
he
that
would
spend
so
prodigally
,
and
so
much
in
one
day
,
without
any
regard
,
in
my
opinion
is
worthy
so
fast
the
next
day
without
pitty
:
So
sir
,
I
have
your
iudgement
already
(
quoth
he
:
)
it
is
pitty
you
should
be
made
a
Iustice
of
peace
,
that
can
examine
a
cause
no
better
:
If
you
had
asked
me
how
I
had
spent
so
much
money
in
so
short
a
time
,
and
how
much
the
sum
had
béene
,
you
had
shewen
some
wit
:
but
to
pronounce
me
prodigall
at
the
first
dash
,
for
so
trifling
a
cause
,
argues
in
deede
a
man
of
smnall
discretion
.
Why
qd.
he
,
is
not
he
to
be
blamde
,
&
counted
a
thristlesse
waster
,
that
spends
the
quantity
of
a
quart
of
money
at
one
day
:
if
you
had
gamde
it
away
,
it
had
béene
another
matter
,
because
I
know
it
a
thing
soone
done
,
and
you
not
so
much
to
be
blamed
:
for
that
a
man
cannot
commaund
the
dice
as
he
may
his
dogge
,
to
say
,
sira
fetch
me
the
same
againe
?
Alasse
qd.
he
,
how
simple
of
understanding
are
you
,
iust
as
wise
as
Winefred
my
wife
,
that
when
I
wisht
her
to
arme
her selfe
against
her
vnquiet
neighbours
,
presently
clapt
a
co●slet
on
her
backe
,
and
so
ran
among
them
:
You
come
in
with
a
quart
full
of
money
,
and
I
toulde
you
of
as
much
money
as
filde
a
quart
,
which
God
wot
was
but
one
penny
for
the
which
I
had
a
quart
of
ale
at
Colbrooke
.
O
was
it
so
,
I
crie
you
mercy
qd.
I
,
and
because
I
haue
made
you
this
offence
,
I
will
paye
for
your
breakefast
at
Staines
,
which
now
is
not
farre
off
:
and
I
pray
you
let
me
request
to
knowe
how
farre
you
trauell
this
way
:
Mary
sir
qd
he
,
euen
as
farre
as
I
would
wish
your
company
,
finding
you
alwaies
thus
kinde
:
but
indeede
my
iourney
is
to
Plimmoth
,
if
I
knew
how
to
get
thither
,
with
that
we
went
into
our
Inne
at
the
signe
of
the
Ale-stake
,
where
I
calde
in
for
bread
and
cheese
,
&
the
best
béere
they
had
in
the
house
:
This
is
well
done
(
qd.
he
)
call
you
in
for
that
which
is
good
,
and
I
will
haue
a
care
it
shall
not
be
lost
:
and
with
that
he
claps
a
penny
loafe
in
his
pocket
,
and
anone
after
he
thrust
another
into
his
bosome
:
I
demaunding
why
he
did
so
:
he
answered
,
because
(
saith
he
)
I
would
trie
whether
●
bread
at
the
next
towne
be
as
good
as
this
or
no
:
For
me
thinkes
it
hath
a
very
good
relish
,
●
I
assure
you
it
is
good
for
a
man
to
be
experienced
in
such
thinges
,
and
still
he
fed
upon
bread
and
cheese
as
nimbly
as
a
squerell
on
a
nutte
.
I
seeing
him
feede
so
hartely
,
said
if
his
legs
were
as
good
as
his
stomacke
he
needed
not
to
feare
his
journey
to
Plimmoth
:
so
at
length
being
well
refresht
,
I
tould
him
that
according
to
my
promise
I
would
pay
for
his
breakfast
,
but
he
should
pay
for
the
two
penny
loaues
in
his
pocket
:
By
the
masse
(
quoth
he
)
I
am
perswaded
your
purse
is
better
linde
then
mine
,
not withstanding
if
my
credit
be
better
than
yours
,
with
this
my
welfaire
hoastice
,
I
am
content
to
passe
my
word
for
it
rather
.
wife
you
are
like
to
pay
all
for
me
.
The
woman
hearing
him
flout
at
her
face
,
was
straight
inflamed
as
if
she
had
béene
made
of
tuchwood
,
and
wholy
compact
of
a
lump
of
gunpowder
:
Why
thou
paultry
knau
?
(
qd
she
)
what
ailes
my
face
▪
what
canst
th●
say
to
my
face
?
or
what
doest
thou
sée
in
my
face
?
For
soule
my
face
,
I
hope
my
face
is
a
christian
bodies
face
,
thou
scuruy
iacke
,
I
te●l
thoe
I
am
not
ashamed
to
shew
my
face
.
I
thinke
so
(
qd
he
)
for
it
is
of
as
good
scarlet
vie
,
as
euer
I
saw
any
in
my
daies
:
but
say
,
will
you
take
my
word
for
two
pence
?
Take
thy
word
?
He
soe
thoe
hangd
first
(
qd
she
)
pay
me
my
money
,
or
by
Gods
body
I
le
have
you
set
by
the
heeles
:
and
with
that
she
tooke
by
her
distasse
and
beate
him
out
of
dores
:
〈◊〉
I
seeing
was
glad
to
content
her
,
and
so
we
parted
from
th●
place
.
I
would
(
quoth
he
)
euery
hoastice
would
giue
me
such
a
pasport
as
my
hoastice
of
Staines
:
then
would
I
not
doubt
but
to
come
to
my
iourneies
end
,
with
virtuals
inoughe
in
my
paunche
,
and
no
hurt
to
my
person
.
Thus
we
went
on
our
way
,
hauing
worke
sufficient
to
coment
on
this
controuersie
,
even
till
we
came
to
Basingstoke
,
where
with
the
suns
setting
we
tooke
vp
our
lodging
,
and
with
the
beginning
of
the
euening
ended
our
daies
〈◊〉
.
Now
(
qd
my
mery
companion
)
to
requite
your
curtesie
for
my
dinner
,
find
you
meate
and
drinke
,
and
I
will
find
bread
to
supper
.
And
so
if
I
finde
to
morrow
as
happy
as
this
day
hath
beene
to
me
,
I
shal
be
well
pleased
to
heare
you
againe
to
salute
me
with
good
morrow
;
otherwise
the
day
shal
haue
my
fauour
to
my
fortune
.
And
with
that
as
mery
as
a
man
with
two
penny
loaues
in
his
pocket
,
he
steps
into
a
tipling
house
and
askt
for
lodging
,
he
was
no
sooner
come
into
the
house
,
but
there
was
one
clad
like
a
Caualier
of
Spaine
,
that
tooke
acquaintance
of
him
,
saying
:
What
Goodcoll
my
old
friend
,
my
companion
and
familiar
acquaintance
,
wel
met
,
I
am
glad
to
see
thoe
in
health
:
ho
Lapster
fill
vs
a
dosen
of
beere
,
for
wee
le
be
mery
yfaith
:
with
that
my
companion
was
wonderous
iocond
,
and
gratifying
him
with
all
the
reuerence
he
could
deuise
,
with
Italian
and
French
im●
bracements
,
sometimes
about
the
middle
,
sometimes
below
the
knees
:
he
required
his
greeting
in
this
sort
:
Iacke
Freeman
,
A
plague
on
thée
,
who
would
haue
thought
to
haue
found
th●e
here
▪
trust
me
by
the
faith
of
an
honest
man
,
I
am
glad
of
this
chance
:
And
in
respect
of
this
happy
meeting
,
I
blesse
my
fortunate
starres
that
it
was
my
lucke
to
sée
thée
before
I
die
:
And
as
thou
louest
me
,
bid
this
my
friend
welcome
and
let
us
suppe
together
:
but
Iacke
Freeman
except
your
purse
be
better
then
mine
,
our
chéere
will
but
mocke
our
stomackes
,
which
at
this
time
I
should
take
in
as
ill
part
,
as
my
hoastice
of
Staines
did
my
words
this
morning
.
Tush
feare
not
(
qd.
Freeman
)
if
thou
hast
no
money
,
I
haue
enough
both
for
me
and
thée
,
and
yfaith
thou
shalt
not
lacke
as
long
as
forty
pounds
last
:
why
man
I
thank●
God
I
haue
in
this
simple
doublet
(
as
I
may
say
to
thée
●
an
hundred
angels
and
upward
,
and
hang
dogs
.
Goodco●l
they
shall
be
all
at
thy
command
.
Godamercy
my
swéete
Iacke
Freeman
(
qd.
he
:
)
And
with
that
we
all
sate
downe
to
supper
:
At
what
time
they
fell
into
great
communication
th●
one
with
the
other
.
Freeman
declared
how
he
was
newely
come
out
of
Ireland
,
and
what
hurt
the
rebels
had
don
there
,
by
setting
diuers
townes
on
fire
,
and
now
(
qd
he
)
I
am
come
from
visiting
my
friends
in
Hampshire
,
with
purpose
to
go
directly
to
London
.
Therfore
I
pray
th●e
tell
me
how
doth
all
our
good
friends
there
,
and
what
is
the
best
newes
.
In
troth
(
qd.
G●odcoll
)
no
newes
but
what
is
common
:
The
good
Earle
of
Essex
is
prepared
to
sea
,
and
in
sooth
thither
am
I
going
to
:
for
what
with
my
debts
,
and
my
wiucs
tongue
(
before
god
)
I
am
constrained
to
leaue
all
,
for
who
would
liue
in
bread
of
those
creepe
corners
,
that
gets
their
liuing
by
playing
boe●péepe
,
who
like
the
cookcow
have
neuer
but
one
song
,
and
that
sounds
so
〈◊〉
fauouredly
,
saying
:
I
arest
you
:
that
I
promise
you
it
makes
many
a
mans
heart
ake
that
heares
it
.
And
whither
I
pray
you
trauels
this
honest
man
your
friend
(
qd.
he
:
)
Truly
(
said
I
)
my
iourney
is
toward
th●
sea
too
,
though
not
for
the
like
cause
as
my
friend
goes
.
For
as
for
my
wife
,
her
tongue
did
neuer
displease
me
,
because
she
could
neuer
speake
being
borne
dumb
,
and
as
for
Sergeants
,
I
neuer
neede
to
teare
them
,
for
no
man
would
euer
credite
me
to
make
me
run
in
debt
.
Then
hast
thou
(
qd.
Freeman
)
two
good
commodities
.
But
hearest
thou
Goodcoll
,
I
pray
thee
say
:
how
doe
all
our
ancient
acquaintance
,
th●
good
oath-takers
,
or
common
baylers
:
Alias
the
knightes
of
the
Poste
,
the
Lords
of
sobs
pound
,
and
heires
apparant
to
the
pillory
:
who
are
as
ready
to
baile
men
out
of
prison
,
being
then
well
pleased
for
their
paines
,
as
Tiron
is
in
playing
the
traitour
without
causes
.
Tush
(
qnoth
Goodcoll
)
that
fraternity
of
falsehood
,
and
fellowship
of
fraud
,
both
neuer
lightly
passe
out
of
the
old
byas
,
they
are
all
in
health
,
though
voide
of
honesty
:
some
are
at
liberty
to
séeke
a
dinner
where
they
can
get
it
:
and
some
to
spare
shoe-leather
lies
in
prison
.
L.
that
old
lad
is
foorth
comming
,
though
not
comming
foorth
,
hauing
the
priuiledge
to
walke
his
stations
in
one
of
th●
counters
in
London
,
●
so
are
diuers
other
of
the
same
profession
.
But
tell
me
I
pray
you
(
qd.
Freeman
)
what
is
become
of
B.
is
he
as
sound
mettle
as
he
was
:
And
how
doth
the
harber
of
new
corne
,
olde
Father
C
to-towne
,
L.
the
Courier
,
and
he
whom
men
call
worse
then
Craft
,
are
they
all
liuing
stil
?
Liuing
(
qd.
Goodcoll
)
trust
me
I
,
and
like
enough
to
liue
till
shame
either
prefers
them
to
the
pillory
,
or
misery
ende
their
daies
.
B.
hath
sounded
false
larums
in
Westminster
hall
a
long
time
,
and
hath
been
a
graund
●night
of
antiquity
:
as
well
knowne
for
his
profession
,
as
mother
Bunches
ale
to
nipitaty
.
But
for
the
store
houses
of
corne
,
he
hath
betaken
himselfe
to
his
beades
:
for
in
matters
of
bailing
,
he
is
like
an
old
horse
,
whose
marke
is
neere
worne
out
of
his
mouth
:
but
notwithstanding
though
he
be
f●eble
in
body
,
yet
his
minde
is
as
good
as
euer
it
was
,
●
that
which
he
cannot
performe
himselfe
,
he
procures
others
to
doe
:
like
that
aun●iente
raine
beaten
harlot
M
,
Ro
,
that
after
thee
had
quite
consumed
her
young
yerea
in
lechery
,
and
was
no
more
set
by
,
yet
for
the
loue
she
bore
to
the
whorish
art
,
procured
and
inticed
younger
ones
to
doe
it
,
and
so
became
a
notable
baude
.
And
in
like
sort
playeth
he
,
for
where
he
bayleth
one
himselfe
,
he
procureth
others
to
baile
throe
.
But
as
concerning
olde
father
C
:
why
man
hee
is
oulde
suresby
,
as
trustie
as
steele
,
and
one
that
alwaies
helpes
at
a
deadlift
:
for
after
he
hath
smugd
vppe
himselfe
in
his
borrowed
apparell
,
with
his
great
seale
ring
on
his
finger
of
pure
copper
and
guilt
,
when
he
comes
to
baile
a
man
before
a
Iudge
,
being
demaunded
if
hee
be
a
subsidie
man
or
no
,
straight
answeres
,
and
it
shall
please
your
good
Lordshippe
,
I
have
beene
a
subsidy
man
this
xx
.
Winters
and
vpward
:
And
then
he
sweares
,
that
he
was
seized
at
v.
pounds
in
the
Queenes
bookes
the
last
sessment
of
the
subsidie
:
and
furder
affirmes
it
on
his
credit
,
which
is
as
good
in
r●eapside
,
as
it
is
at
the
pudding●y
house
,
where
they
will
not
trust
him
for
two
pence
:
but
he
hath
one
bad
quality
,
which
I
doubt
will
make
him
at
length
loose
his
customers
,
and
that
is
this
.
He
will
neuer
be
pleased
when
he
hath
bailed
one
,
except
he
give
him
more
then
his
promise
and
beside
stop
his
mouth
with
a
pint
of
old
sack
.
Now
〈◊〉
he
whom
men
call
worse
then
craft
and
L.
I
think
they
will
giue
ouer
their
trade
of
bailing
,
●
turne
truemen
,
for
they
doe
not
so
much
vse
it
as
they
haue
done
heretofore
.
Trust
me
(
qd.
Freeman
)
that
would
be
as
great
a
miracle
,
as
to
see
Bankes
his
curtaile
dance
a
h●rntpipe
.
But
what
say
you
to
little
W
,
and
to
him
that
is
called
more
then
a
whole
bare
ow
,
and
the
man
whose
name
hath
but
fine
letters
,
first
thrée
vowels
,
then
two
consonants
?
But
(
qd
Goodcol
)
they
be
in
these
matters
like
.
Manering
at
a
buriall
,
of
no
reckoning
,
except
to
iest
at
:
being
rather
procurers
of
others
then
doers
themselves
.
If
you
make
no
account
of
them
(
qd
Freeman
)
what
say
you
then
of
him
that
bore
the
name
of
the
olde
player
with
the
beluct
cap
:
of
the
aged
Crane
turnde
backewarde
,
K.
with
the
tun
,
&
F.
with
the
●rie
face
,
C.
the
true
cook
olde
the
sold
away
his
wife
for
money
,
&
afterwardes
receiued
her
home
againe
:
mary
qd.
G.
as
Larleton
saide
of
the
Linker
,
that
they
haue
more
craft
in
their
budgets
,
then
crownes
in
their
purses
:
notwith●●anding
of
no
reputation
:
for
they
be
but
procurers
of
others
to
baile
,
&
not
baylers
themselues
:
And
above
all
the
rest
:
the
●n
.
of
the
post
,
do
●tterly
deny
to
go
bef●●e
a
I.
with
F.
for
feare
least
the
fire
in
his
face
should
set
the
I.
chamber
in
a
flame
:
and
so
they
might
get
more
displeasure
,
then
all
the
rich
rubies
in
his
nose
are
worth
.
C.
I
must
nades
say
is
a
good
fellow
:
but
he
vleth
this
trade
nothing
so
much
now
as
he
hath
done
:
and
as
for
K.
he
doth
so
tye
himselfe
to
the
two
penny
ale
,
that
he
can
spare
no
time
to
do
any
thing
.
Then
tell
me
,
how
fares
L.P.C.
&
●l-col
.
are
they
of
no
reputa●ion
now
?
they
were
wont
to
be
iolly
doers
in
this
geare
:
and
so
are
they
●ill
saith
Goodcole
,
for
L.
and
P.
doe
many
matters
continually
&
get
much
mony
by
it
,
but
it
prospers
as
badly
with
them
as
the
coine
that
Iosephs
braethren
tooke
when
they
sould
him
into
Egipt
,
for
what
is
gotten
all
day
they
spend
franckly
at
night
in
on
tauern
,
aihouse
or
other
,
soe
that
for
●ght
that
I
see
,
they
are
as
bare
as
the
spanish
friers
that
were
late
taken
at
sea
,
which
lie
now
in
S.
maratins
but
wheras
you
speake
of
C.
I
haue
not
séene
him
a
long
time
either
I
thinke
he
is
dead
,
or
else
gon
to
Reding
againe
from
whence
he
came
,
but
why
doo
you
call
him
C.
his
name
is
Cookoo
,
though
he
keepe
not
all
waies
on
tune
,
truly
that
is
more
then
euer
I
heard
quoth
Freeman
,
doe
they
then
alter
their
names
when
they
goe
about
to
baile
men
?
as
though
that
you
were
ignorant
therof
qd.
G.
If
they
shoulde
not
change
their
names
,
&
like
Protheus
turne
their
shapes
somtimes
,
they
woulde
often
be
had
by
the
barke
for
their
lewd
knauery
.
But
then
I
pray
you
tell
me
what
is
become
of
the
broker
,
the
bird
with
the
blacke
foote
and
goulden
taile
,
and
the
son
of
R.
doe
they
continue
their
oulde
courses
still
?
What
néede
you
moue
such
a
question
(
qd.
Goodcoll
)
how
should
they
liue
if
they
should
leaue
that
sweete
profitable
trade
:
bayling
and
swearing
▪
I
tell
you
sir
it
is
an
occupation
that
foules
not
their
hands
,
though
it
corrupt
their
conscience
,
which
some
of
them
haue
vsed
these
dozen
or
fourt●ne
yeres
at
the
least
.
I
muse
(
qd.
F●eeman
)
hold
these
fellowes
scape
vntaken
or
vnpunisht
all
this
while
,
for
it
is
on
oulde
prouerbe
,
that
the
pitcher
goes
so
long
to
the
water
,
that
at
length
it
comes
broken
home
.
Tush
they
are
as
h●●eful
in
this
matter
as
may
be
,
for
as
I
tould
you
,
they
will
seldome
tell
their
right
names
,
nor
giue
true
notice
of
their
dwelling
:
And
beside
that
they
will
be
sure
to
know
before
hand
,
what
Iudge
it
is
that
must
take
the
baile
:
for
if
their
be
any
iudge
that
he
knowes
doth
suspect
him
,
he
will
kéepe
one
leg
back
from
that
place
,
and
go
before
some
other
to
doe
the
feat
.
Call
you
these
feates
(
qd
Freeman
)
for
wretches
to
periure
themselues
in
this
sort
?
truely
god
may
well
spare
them
for
a
time
,
but
their
iudgement
wil
be
the
greater
:
and
surely
goods
gotten
in
this
sort
must
néedes
be
cursed
:
And
no
maruell
if
none
of
them
doe
thriue
.
Why
doe
you
say
so
(
qd.
Goodcole
)
is
not
the
broker
rich●
I
,
but
he
got
it
by
brokery
and
not
by
bailing
qd
the
other
.
I
graunt
he
is
a
broker
(
qd.
Freeman
)
but
he
was
first
a
bailer
and
a
swearer
,
which
preferd
him
to
his
brokery
:
for
it
was
a
small
matter
instéed
of
hearing
morning
praier
to
goe
fasting
before
a
I.
and
forsweare
himselfe
,
wherby
he
hath
gotten
many
a
crowne
,
which
hee
accompteth
cléere
gaines
and
the
stocke
remaining
whole
at
the
yéeres
ende
:
so
that
nowe
hee
hath
lefte
brokery
and
is
become
a
Draper
.
A
Draper
(
quoth
.
Freeman
)
what
Draper
,
of
woollin
or
linnen
▪
No
(
qd
he
)
an
Ale
Draper
,
wherein
he
hath
more
skil
then
in
the
other
:
neuerthelesse
there
are
more
brokers
that
are
bailers
beside
him
.
Why
is
their
owne
trade
of
brokery
so
much
decayed
(
quoth
Freeman
)
that
they
cannot
liue
by
that
,
as
well
as
they
haue
done
I
(
qd
Goodcoll
)
there
is
so
many
of
them
,
that
one
canot
liue
by
another
:
And
beside
that
,
there
is
another
inconuenience
besa●e
them
:
they
must
nowe
neither
buy
any
thing
,
nor
take
pawne
,
except
first
they
come
and
register
it
in
a
place
prouided
by
the
Daiestrats
:
so
that
whereas
before
they
were
wont
to
buy
much
stolne
goods
,
whereby
their
greatest
profit
grew
:
now
they
cannot
doe
so
,
because
each
party
that
brings
goods
to
the
brokers
,
must
haue
their
names
&
dwelling
place
set
downe
by
the
Register
,
or
else
they
that
doe
otherwise
,
are
accounted
a●cessary
to
the
fello●y
,
if
they
meddle
with
any
frolne
goods
.
This
is
an
excellent
good
order
qd.
Freeman
.
But
what
is
that
sonne
of
R.
you
spoke
of
▪
I
haue
heard
much
speeche
of
him
that
he
hath
béene
an
notable
fellow
for
bailing
.
No
Goodcoll
and
so
he
is
still
:
but
in
speaking
of
him
,
I
must
say
to
you
,
as
once
a
king
of
England
said
to
his
Nueene
th●
was
desirous
to
know
a
certaine
matter
of
him
:
soft
(
qd
he
)
thereby
hanges
a
tale
:
and
so
likewise
of
R.
remaines
another
,
but
that
I
will
referre
till
tomorrow
,
for
what
with
this
good
supper
,
and
my
weary
iourney
,
I
find
my selfe
well
preparde
for
my
bed
,
and
therefore
let
us
know
what
we
hane
to
pay
,
that
we
may
rise
from
the
table
,
for
I
assure
you
my
legs
are
wart
as
stiffe
as
an
ould
paire
of
bootes
after
a
nights
drying
.
Then
said
Freeman
,
Do
tapster
what
s
to
pay
:
fiue
willings
two
pence
(
qd
he
)
and
you
are
welcome
:
with
that
I
began
to
draw
my
purse
,
and
Goodcoll
went
to
his
pocket
:
Pay
soft
my
masters
(
said
Freeman
)
here
s
not
a
penny
for
any
of
you
to
pay
:
nor
will
I
offer
a
penny
(
quoth
Goodcoll
)
but
these
,
&
with
that
he
set
the
two
loaues
which
he
pluckt
out
of
his
pocket
on
the
board
:
this
is
an
odde
iest
(
quoth
I
)
to
set
bread
on
the
board
after
the
meate
is
eaten
,
much
like
vnto
her
,
that
went
not
for
the
Phisition
before
she
saw
her
husband
dead
vnder
the
table
If
you
like
not
my
offer
(
qd
Goodcoll
)
I
will
keepe
them
till
to
morrow
.
Why
●ir
qd.
Freeman
,
it
is
written
you
should
not
●are
for
the
morrow
;
t
is
true
qd
he
,
and
because
I
will
not
care
for
tomorrow
,
I
prouide
these
loaves
tonight
.
Then
said
I
to
Freeman
,
I
beseech
you
fir
accept
of
my
money
,
otherwise
you
will
charge
your selfe
too
much
:
You
shall
not
spend
a
farthing
(
quoth
he
)
nor
should
not
if
we
were
toegther
this
monesh
:
And
trust
me
my
hearts
,
were
it
not
for
one
thing
I
would
walke
along
with
you
:
but
at
Bristowe
I
did
disburse
an
hundred
angels
,
to
the
good
man
of
the
fryingpan
on
the
Bridge
,
to
haue
it
paide
me
at
London
,
the
fifteenth
of
I
:
nexte
,
or
within
seuen
daies
after
the
sight
of
his
bill
:
But
(
said
Goodcoll
)
who
must
pate
it
to
you
there
▪
Mary
Phillipp
Curtoise
,
a
man
sure
enough
quoth
Freeman
.
I
would
to
Christ
said
Goodcoll
,
we
might
haue
had
your
company
to
Plimmoth
,
for
I
may
say
to
you
as
to
my
friend
,
I
haue
not
one
penny
in
my
purse
,
whatsoeuer
come
:
quoth
Freeman
,
thou
shalt
not
lacke
for
money
:
And
with
that
he
drew
his
purse
and
gaue
him
ten
shillings
,
saying
:
Would
thee
my
ould
friend
,
Sir
saith
the
hoast
feare
not
,
you
shall
lie
safe
I
warrant
you
,
if
you
had
a
thousand
pound
.
Deare
ye
my
hoast
(
quoth
Freeman
)
I
pray
you
vse
my
friends
well
,
I
may
say
to
you
they
are
honest
men
,
and
of
good
credit
in
London
,
though
as
you
see
they
trudge
thus
a
foote
,
as
my selfe
both
.
I
tel
you
they
haue
reason
for
it
my
hoast
,
and
so
haue
I
too
:
&
harke
re
me
,
I
pray
you
let
them
haue
what
they
will
call
for
,
if
they
will
not
pay
you
,
I
will
.
I
thanke
you
sir
(
quoth
we
)
and
so
we
departed
to
bed
.
In
the
morning
they
rose
early
,
and
calling
at
Freemans
chamber
do●e
,
thought
to
take
their
farewell
of
him
:
What
my
boi●s
(
quoth
he
)
are
you
such
good
cockes
to
be
rising
as
soone
as
the
sunne
▪
Pay
soft
,
we
must
not
partly
so
,
I
meane
to
breake
my
fast
with
you
,
with
that
he
started
out
of
his
bed
,
and
wiled
the
tapster
to
couer
the
board
,
so
to
breakfast
we
went
.
Then
said
Freeman
:
now
Goodcoll
I
pray
you
let
me
heare
the
tale
of
Rob:
for
I
could
doe
nothing
but
dreame
all
night
what
it
should
be
:
Mary
(
qu●●●
he
)
this
R.
being
his
crafts
Master
,
where
he
was
hicred
to
come
before
any
Iudge
to
baile
a
man
,
it
was
his
accustomed
vse
to
call
himselfe
by
a
wrong
name
:
and
if
he
dwelt
in
long
lane
perhaps
he
would
say
he
dwelt
in
white
Chappell
,
and
so
neither
certifie
them
of
his
true
name
,
nor
of
his
true
dwelling
place
:
so
that
if
any
enquiery
bee
made
of
him
in
such
place
,
where
he
affirmed
himselfe
to
dwell
,
there
is
no
such
man
to
be
found
:
and
by
this
means
he
scapes
manie
a
scouring
.
But
pardon
me
I
beseech
you
,
good
master
Freeman
,
the
day
weares
,
and
I
haue
farre
to
go
,
therefore
I
cannot
stand
to
tell
out
the
rest
:
but
at
our
next
meeting
in
troth
you
shall
knowe
all
:
therfore
let
us
paye
our
shotte
and
be
walking
.
A
sigge
(
quoth
Freeman
)
here
is
nothing
to
pay
,
and
were
our
reckoning
twentie
pound
,
you
should
not
pay
one
penny
:
but
because
your
hast
is
such
towards
your
iourney
,
and
my
desire
great
to
heare
out
your
tale
,
I
le
take
my
sworde
and
walke
a
mile
or
two
with
you
:
And
thus
hauing
discharge
the
house
we
went
foorth
together
.
Well
now
to
my
tale
quoth
Goodcoll
.
I
heard
it
tolde
for
a
truth
,
that
a
certaine
Gt.
now
dwelling
on
Saint
Andrewes
●ill
,
in
the
direct
way
toward
Tyborne
,
being
a
good
knight
of
the
Post
,
and
hauing
learned
of
Ro.
and
such
other
of
that
hatefull
society
,
to
deny
their
own
names
:
vpon
a
time
when
he
came
before
a
iudge
to
baile
a
man
:
most
knawishly
named
himselfe
to
be
a
certaine
Upholster
in
London
:
a
man
that
for
his
wealth
and
wisedome
was
of
good
account
among
his
neighbours
.
The
creditor
making
inquiery
of
his
baile
,
and
finding
him
by
report
to
be
very
sufficient
,
was
well
content
,
so
the
matter
rested
till
the
terme
:
At
what
time
the
action
being
ca●de
vpon
,
there
came
neither
one
nor
other
to
make
aunswere
.
At
last
by
course
of
law
an
execution
was
like
to
be
serued
vpon
the
surety
.
The
honest
Cittizen
hearing
of
this
matter
,
was
not
a
little
amazed
:
saith
he
to
the
Creditor
,
Sir
you
greatly
mistake
,
I
am
not
the
man
you
meane
,
for
I
know
no
such
man
you
speake
off
,
nor
was
I
euer
baile
in
this
court
in
my
life
.
Why
is
not
your
name
thus
:
qd
,
the
Attourney
your
trade
Upholstery
,
and
dwell
you
not
in
such
a
place
▪
Yes
indeede
quoth
the
Cittizen
:
well
then
,
except
there
be
more
of
this
name
dwelling
there
,
you
are
like
to
answere
●s
(
saide
the
Attourney
.
Tush
said
the
Cittizen
,
as
well
he
might
haue
put
in
my
childs
name
as
mine
,
for
any
knowledge
I
had
of
this
matter
.
Thus
was
this
honest
man
put
to
no
small
trouble
before
he
could
cleare
himselfe
:
while
in
the
meane
space
the
Glouer
sate
smiling
in
his
sleeue
,
and
caried
away
twenty
or
thirthy
shillings
for
his
paines
.
Undoubtedly
said
I
,
he
is
a
fellow
of
a
filthy
conscience
:
Conscience
(
qd
Goodcoll
:
)
I
tell
you
their
consciences
are
like
chiuerell
shin●
,
that
will
stretch
euery
way
.
But
for
all
the
Glouer
is
so
●unning
,
if
he
vse
many
of
these
feates
,
at
length
he
will
come
to
peepe
through
the

and
carry
as
many
eares

his
head
as

of

&
many
great
aduentures
hath
he
past
,
like
a
most
hardy
knight
of
the
Post.
I
saith
Freeman
,
but
he
was
like
to

a
foule

for

now
,
yet

parhaps
to

,
shortly
.
It
was
well
answerd
to
the
discontented
man
(
qd.
Freeman
)
for
the
quyet
of
his
minde
,
but
how
fares
B.
C.
and
N.
mary
sometimes
with
bread
and
cheese
(
quoth
Goodcoll
,
sometimes
with
bread
and
butter
,
and
eate
rostmeat
when
they
haue
mony
:
Nay
I
inquire
not
after
their
chier
,
but
their
good
estate
(
saith
Freeman
.
)
In
troth
they
liue
so
so
,
and
it
were
well
,
if
they
knew
where
a
good
commodetie
of
names
were
to
be
sould
,
and
yet
I
thinke
all
the
mony
in
their
pursses
could
not
buy
it
.
But
to
let
these
bace
fellowes
passe
,
I
can
tell
you
of
a
great
many
others
that
you
neuer
knewe
men
lately
come
into
the
trade
,
but
I
doubt
we
haue
brought
you
too
farre
out
of
your
way
already
:
Lut
,
I
respect
it
not
(
quoth
Free.
)
and
seeing
I
am
come
thus
farre
,
I
will
walke
along
to
Andouer
with
you
,
because
in
trueth
I
would
heare
somewhat
of
those
men
you
speake
of
,
for
hang
it
by
,
it
is
but
the
comming
backe
of
fifteene
or
sixteene
myles
,
&
there
I
will
bestowe
your
d●inner
on
you
,
and
so
returne
,
why
then
we
shall
be
too
much
beholding
to
your
curtesie
(
qd.
Goodcoll
)
but
seeing
you
haue
so
good
a
minde
to
heare
of
these
matters
,
I
will
proceede
in
my
first
purpose
.
There
is
a
most
braue
fellow
but
very
newly
crept
into
this
crewe
,
and
his
name
is
N.
well
knowne
,
one
that
lookes
very
high
,
and
at
euery
word
casteth
his
eye
aboue
Powles
steeple
,
as
if
he
would
quarrell
with
the
Doone
,
or
had
some
controuersie
against
the
seauen
starres
.
In
his
attire
,
he
is
neat
and
fine
,
and
in
his
speech
stately
,
with
a
long
piccadeuant
after
the
French
cut
,
and
of
a
scornefull
countenance
,
and
when
he
comes
into
Westm.
hall
,
he
bends
his
browes
,
as
if
he
would
beare
downe
the
Kinges
Bench
barre
with
his
lookes
.
My
acquaintance
with
the
man
is
but
small
,
for
I
was
neuer
in
his
company
but
once
,
and
that
was
at
the
kings
head
in
Fleetstreete
,
at
what
time
being
(
as
it
was
supposed
)
in
his
holly
day
apparell
,
which
was
after
the
maner
of
a
Barchaunt
,
hee
seemed
to
scorne
that
a
poore
man
should
speake
to
him
.
Also
at
the
same
time
as
I
wel
remember
P.
the
golden
fethered
bird
was
with
him
,
very
braue
,
with
a
faire
cloake
of
somewhat
a
gray
colour
on
his
backe
,
the
which
(
as
it
was
folde
me
)
N.
had
sent
him
for
that
d●y
,
hauing
bin
as
it
seemed
about
their
common
profits
that
morning
:
and
these
two
as
I
haue
heard
,
haue
ioyned
themselues
together
in
many
actions
.
There
is
also
another
new
come
fellow
,
whose
name
is
S.
he
dwelt
sometime
about
London
bridge
,
&
nowe
is
gotten
into
Houndsditch
to
dwell
,
who
seeming
to
be
a
very
surly
proud
companion
,
&
falling
at
strife
with
his
trade
,
gaue
his
occupation
a
pasport
,
to
get
a
new
master
,
and
betooke
himselfe
to
follow
this
honest
fellowship
,
and
both
also
take
vpon
him
to
doe
many
matters
,
making
both
of
his
abilitie
and
of
the
effectiug
of
many
matters
huge
bragges
,
howsoeuer
he
deales
in
the
performance
thereof
.
Nowe
sir
,
there
is
another
of
this
newcome
crewe
,
that
by
reporte
is
as
worthy
to
be
noted
as
the
rest
,
whose
name
and
nature
may
well
agree
.
Dee
is
called
W.
and
you
knowe
beas●es
of
his
name
are
great
bloudsuckers
,
and
it
is
to
be
feared
,
he
will
be
as
great
a
pursse-sucker
,
as
the
wolfe
is
a
blood-sucker
,
if
in
time
〈◊〉
be
not
preuented
.
And
it
came
to
passe
that
this
W.
not
long
since
,
&
S.
&
N.
being
before
sworne
brethren
,
and
great
companions
together
,
on
a
time
they
with
some
other
of
the
same
sect
,
after
their
businesse
at
the
hall
in
the
morning
was
ended
,
finding
their
guts
chyme
twelue
a
clocke
in
their
bellies
,
went
all
together
to
dinner
in
Westminster
:
where
they
fedde
so
heartily
,
and
druncke
so
hard
,
that
S.
after
dinner
(
while
the
others
were
busie
in
talking
)
fell
asleepe
,
which
when
the
rest
perceiued
,
like
most
honest
men
of
their
profession
,
consulted
among
themselues
,
to
steale
away
,
and
leaue
him
to
pay
the
shot
,
whereupon
one
of
them
after
another
crept
out
of
the
roome
,
and
came
to
the
good
man
,
saying
,
Sir
we
haue
gathered
our
reckoning
,
and
lefte
our
money
with
our
friend
aboue
,
who
because
hee
was
by
this
morning
somewhat
early
,
breaking
his
ordinarie
house
,
is
purposed
to
take
a
nappe
before
he
goes
and
as
soone
as
he
wakes
he
will
pay
you
:
for
our
owne
partes
we
haue
earnest
busines
that
calleth
vs
hence
,
or
else
we
woulde
be
loath
to
leaue
him
behind
vs
,
and
therefore
we
pray
you
take
care
of
him
,
that
no
man
doe
offer
him
any
wrong
.
The
good
man
deeming
their
abillitie
to
be
answerable
to
their
apparell
,
and
noting
them
by
their
countenance
to
be
ciuill
Cittizens
,
with
his
cappe
in
his
hande
very
mannerly
,
made
this
replie

Uery

not

with

said

your

me
at

that
they

A
small

sir
(
quoth
the
goodman
for

And
so
they
departed
,
but
this
bred
no
litle
brable
betwixt
S.
and
R.

they
met

Certainely
I
could
not
blame
S.
to
be
offended
(
quoth
Freeman
)
to
be
so
vnconscionably
vsed
by
his
companions
,
in
a
strange
place
,
but
no
doubt
they
payd
him

is

th●
you
were
neuer
there
:
but
if
you
please
to
goe
thither
,
there
you
shall
see
the
fairest
Cathedrall
Church
(
for
the
bignes
)
that
is
in
Englande
,
the
first
stone
whereof
,
King
Iohn
with
his
owne
hand
did
lay
,
and
there
i●
about
the
same
church
as
many
chappels
as
there
is
moneths
in
the
yere
,
as
many
dores
as
there
are
workes
in
the
year●
,
and
as
many
windowes
as
there
are
days
,
and
as
many
pillers
as
there
are
howers
in
the
yeare
,
I
haue
bene
in
many
cuntreys
quoth
Freeman
but
of
such
a
church
did
I
neuer
●are
,
well
it
is
true
qd.
our
host
,
and
it
is
but
fifteene
miles
hence
,
and
therefore
seeing
you
neuer
sawe
it
,
if
I
were
as
you
,
I
would
sée
it
,
wel
Goodcoll
quoth
Freeman
,
were
it
but
to
heare
out
thy
tale
,
I
will
goe
to
Salsburie
,
for
if
the
worst
come
to
the
worst
,
it
is
but
the
hi●ring
of
a
hackney
to
ryde
to
london
and
to
come
time
Inonghe
to
the
receiuing
of
my
moneye
,
well
my
masters
qd.
he
,
there
is
according
to
my
promise
,
a
crown
towardes
the
shot
,
&
if
it
come
to
more
,
you
shall
pay
it
betwen
you
for
me
,
well
sir
quoth
I
,
howsoeuer
it
goes
,
you
come
still
to
your
coste
:
and
so
our
shott
being
payd
,
we
set
towardes
Saliberie
,
hiding
our
good
hoast
farwell
:
now
frind
Goodcoll
you
maye
thinke
that
I
loue
tales
well
,
that
go
so
many
miles
out
of
my
waye
to
here
one
,
but
it
is
no
mater
,
my
mind
to
me
is
a
monerkey
,
therefore
nowe
seeing
wee
are
onwarde
of
our
waie
,
let
vs
begile
the
time
with
talke
,
and
driue
on
t
wearinesse
with
the
residue
of
the
discourse
,
nowe
quoth
Goodcol
,
you
shall
here
me
discouer
th●
vilde
practices
of
these
bad
people
,
wherby
they
daylie
abuse
the
graue
Iudges
of
the
land
,
her
maiesties
high
commissioners
,
and
the
Iustices
of
the
peace
,
especially
th●se
for
Lond.
●idls
.
●
.
and
Sur.
with
th●
shires
next
adoyning
,
Stewardes
of
Courtes
,
and
many
other
,
both
Honorable
&
worshipful
:
deceiuing
likewise
many
poore
men
,
by
their
most
vilde
&
lewde
practices
:
for
now
they
(
as
some
of
them
can
brag
of
)
haue
by
th●
continuall
practise
thereof
,
made
their
trade
of
baileing
,
better
by
fiue
C.
poundes
a
yeere
,
then
heretofore
it
hath
bene
.
Wherevpon
Freem
.
demanded
how
that
coulde
be
:
I
will
tell
you
sir
qd.
Goodcole
:
They
are
growen
now
as
I
say
,
to
baile
men
before
her
M.
high
Commissioners
for
causes
Ecclesiasticall
:
But
if
their
vila●ie
be
once
found
out
in
th●
place
,
they
will
be
made
to
curse
the
day
of
their
Natiuitie
:
that
euer
they
first
began
to
take
these
lewd
courses
in
hand
.
It
seemeth
then
(
qd.
Frée
.
)
that
they
haue
prettye
fine
wits
,
that
they
can
escape
away
so
cleanly
in
their
matters
,
&
neuer
be
taken
tardie
:
Albeit
(
qd.
he
)
that
their
long
practise
in
these
thinges
,
haue
made
them
as
subtile
as
Serpents
:
yet
now
and
then
they
are
taken
in
their
villanie
,
but
that
is
verie
seldome
:
perhaps
once
in
seauen
yeeres
.
And
now
sir
,
I
will
shew
you
how
that
not
long
since
,
●
man
that
you
know
verie
well
,
was
clapt
by
the
heeles
in
th●
Clinke
,
for
bail●ing
(
as
I
supose
)
a
Papist
before
the
high
Commissioners
▪
who
as
soone
as
he
had
goten
his
libertie
,
got
himselfe
away
,
&
(
as
I
haue
heard
)
could
not
be
founde
as
yet
.
what
do
they
presume
so
audaciously
to
baile
papists
too
quoth
Freeman
▪
yes
verily
:
They
wil
not
sticke
to
●ter
eyther
Bond
or
baile
for
any
man
th●
will
giue
them
money
.
And
what
will
not
they
do
:
if
they
may
be
well
requi●ed
for
their
paines
?
But
say
they
,
there
we
shall
neuer
be
put
to
our
othes
which
is
a
good
helpe
vnto
us
.
And
thus
haue
they
all
the
shiftes
&
deuises
that
may
be
deuised
to
help
themselues
:
But
now
they
are
growen
more
circumspect
in
their
dealinges
,
then
they
were
woonte
to
be
.
In
what
sort
qd.
●re
They
haue
now
taken
this
order
amongst
them
,
that
they
will
be
sure
to
come
before
one
I.
but
once
in
a
terme
,
because
they
will
not
be
noted
in
th●
Maiestrats
eies
,
so
that
the
graue
Maiestrates
are
not
any
way
able
to
preuent
it
,
by
reason
of
the
multitudes
of
people
th●
come
before
them
:
so
that
when
any
Kn●ef
th●
post
coms
before
any
Ma.
againe
,
he
hath
as
cleane
forgot
his
countenance
,
as
the
man
he
neuer
sawe
before
:
if
it
be
so
,
quoth
Freeman
,
that
they
come
before
a
I.
but
once
in
a
terme
,
their
gettings
must
needes
be
small
,
and
I
maruell
how
they
can
liue
of
it
,
whereunto
Goodcoll
answered
,
that
as
they
liue
badde
inough
,
so
●●ey
liue
poore
inough
,
fortune
féeding
them
,
as
Mosse
did
his
mare
,
through
a
hurdle
,
which
made
him
take
her
so
soone
napping
.
And
through
wante
of
meate
many
times
they
walke
out
their
dinner
in
Duke
Humfrey
his
Allie
,
or
else
fetch
a
sléepe
vnder
a
pillar
in
Powles
,
onely
to
beguile
hunger
.
And
although
they
make
many
other
shiftes
to
get
money
by
,
yet
none
of
them
dies
rich
men
.
And
now
I
will
shew
you
how
by
a
newe
deuise
which
they
haue
gotten
,
they
get
many
a
crowne
.
I
pray
you
let
me
heare
that
(
qd.
Freeman
)
for
nouelties
bréedes
most
delight
.
It
is
so
,
qd.
Goodcole
as
you
know
,
that
Newgate
being
a
prison
for
all
kind
of
fellons
,
and
other
mallefactors
,
it
is
commonly
replenished
with
more
store
,
then
any
other
prison
in
England
,
by
reason
of
the
populacie
and
great
number
of
lewde
persons
,
that
lurke
about
the
citie
of
London
:
which
these
good
knights
looking
into
,
and
smelling
out
what
great
profite
might
be
gotten
by
them
,
sought
meanes
to
come
acquainted
with
certaine
cutpursses
and
other
pilfering
companions
,
such
indéede
,
as
can
not
forbeare
once
in
a
quarter
at
the
least
,
to
weare
a
paire
of
shackels
in
Newgate
:
and
sée
their
good
fortune
,
it
was
their
chaunce
to
be
in
company
vpon
a
time
,
where
one
of
cutpursse
hall
made
great
mone
for
a
friende
of
his
that
was
clapt
vp
vpon
suspition
,
a
proper
youth
qd.
hee
and
of
good
parentage
,
&
falling
in
badde
company
,
was
apprehended
with
the
rest
as
a
partner
of
their
practises
:
and
yet
I
may
say
to
you
,
the
youth
is
well
knowne
to
diuers
worthie
Captaines
,
for
a
proper
fellow
,
and
an
excellent
Drummer
,
and
such
an
one
as
hath
serued
her
Maiestie
both
in
France
and
Flanders
,
yet
to
sée
his
hard
destinie
,
he
is
now
become
after
all
his
credite
gotten
in
the
fielde
,
to
suffer
shame
in
his
owne
Countrie
:
and
I
promise
you
I
feare
he
will
hardly
escape
death
.
Alas
poore
fellow
,
qd.
the
knight
of
the
poste
,
hath
he
no
friendes
in
the
Citie
that
will
doe
somewhat
for
him
,
and
bayle
him
forth
till
the
Sessions
come
:
he
hath
many
friendes
qd
the
other
,
but
he
is
ashamed
to
make
the
matter
knowne
to
them
,
fearing
it
shoulde
come
to
his
parentes
eares
:
which
he
would
not
for
an
hundred
pounds
,
What
qd.
the
K.
hath
he
any
thing
to
helpe
himselfe
withal
?
In
troth
qd.
the
other
,
he
hath
small
store
of
money
,
but
he
hath
good
thinges
to
make
money
of
.
Why
what
would
he
giue
qd.
they
,
to
such
as
would
procure
his
libertie
and
set
him
out
of
danger
,
mary
qd.
the
other
he
would
giue
foure
Angels
withal
his
heart
,
in
troth
qd.
they
for
sixe
Angels
,
we
will
for
your
sake
finde
meanes
to
fetch
him
forth
:
and
put
in
good
sufficient
men
to
be
sureties
for
his
apparance
at
the
next
assises
,
but
wée
will
haue
our
money
readie
to
bee
paid
:
but
wil
not
receiue
one
penny
before
we
haue
done
it
,
you
speak
like
honest
men
qd.
the
other
:
I
will
thus
much
presume
,
though
without
my
friendes
knowledge
,
that
you
shall
haue
sixe
Angels
or
thrée
poundes
in
white
money
,
so
soone
as
it
is
done
:
therefore
I
would
wish
you
goe
about
it
straight
:
and
because
I
know
,
you
cannot
trot
about
without
expences
,
there
is
for
a
pottle
of
wine
,
and
with
that
he
throweth
them
downe
a
shilling
:
desiring
them
to
tell
him
where
hée
should
méete
them
at
euening
or
in
the
morning
:
the
place
being
appointed
,
&
themselues
with
all
circumstances
prepared
,
dressing
themselues
very
handsomly
,
to
a
I.
they
go
,
if
he
chaunce
not
to
be
within
,
then
they
trudge
to
another
,
and
doe
not
rest
till
they
speake
with
one
or
other
.
And
thus
with
a
very
graue
looke
,
and
duetifull
obedience
they
begin
to
speake
in
this
sort
.
We
are
come
to
intreat
your
good
Worship
for
a
poore
young
man
that
is
in
prison
,
one
that
is
come
of
very
honest
parents
though
he
be
farre
from
them
,
who
by
méere
chaunce
,
lighting
in
company
of
some
lewde
persons
,
was
with
them
committed
to
Newgate
,
where
the
poore
young
man
,
hauing
béene
tenderly
brought
vp
.
through
the
weakenesse
of
his
owne
nature
,
and
the
noysome
smell
of
the
place
where
he
now
is
,
findeth
himselfe
verie
ill
,
&
we
assure
your
Worship
,
that
we
feare
if
he
remaine
their
any
longer
,
that
it
will
be
his
death
,
wherefore
we
most
humbly
intreat
pour
Worship
,
that
he
may
be
bayled
foorth
,
you
shall
haue
sufficient
Citizens
and
good
Subsedie
men
to
bee
bound
for
his
apparance
at
the
next
sisses
,
to
answere
what
soener
can
be
laid
against
him
.
The
good
Iustice
noting
their
speech
,
and
therewithall
their
persons
,
makes
this
answere
,
if
his
fact
be
n●
worse
then
you
speake
of
,
and
you
séeme
honest
men
that
would
not
report
an
vntrueth
,
I
am
contented
to
take
baile
,
so
you
bring
me
good
suffieient
sureties
:
&
if
it
shall
please
your
good
Worship
(
quoth
they
)
wée
will
be
the
men
our selves
,
I
assure
your
sir
,
we
are
subsedie
men
both
of
vs
,
and
our
dwelling
is
in
such
a
place
,
&
with
that
they
protest
that
they
were
sessed
at
fiue
poundes
in
Quéenes
bookes
,
the
last
subsedie
,
whereupon
the
Iustice
bids
his
Clarke
to
take
their
bondes
:
And
by
the
meanes
of
the
notable
Cutpursse
comming
out
of
Newegate
,
the
mony
is
straight
paide
,
and
then
to
the
Tauarne
they
goe
as
pleasant
as
Popingaies
,
where
they
drinke
and
carous
merilie
,
giuing
them
much
thankes
for
this
their
great
courtesie
and
euer
after
,
when
they
or
any
other
of
their
society
,
doe
chance
to
meete
with
these
ould
shauers
,
they
care
not
what
they
spend
vpon
them
,
spreading
their
fame
amonge
all
their
familiars
,
whereby
it
is
come
to
passe
,
that
they
are
as
well
knowne
among
these
companions
,
as
those
tittle
boyes
are
with
the
bathes
.
who
will
cast
themseues
downe
a
great
heigh
,
naked
into
the
water
and
fetch
a
penny
in
the
bottome
.
So
that
now
there
is
great
familiaritie
growne
betwixt
them
,
that
if
any
Cutpusse
▪
be
clapt
vp
,
for
vsing
his
knife
and
his
horne
,
they
straight
send
worde
to
these
their
assured
friendes
,
who
whether
t●ey
haue
mony
or
no
,
will
procure
their
deliuerie
being
contented
that
the
next
bung
the
Cutpursse
nyppes
,
shall
serue
for
his
recompence
.
For
these
honest
men
doe
consider
that
their
staying
in
prison
is
no
profite
to
them
,
but
by
their
libertie
,
they
are
asured
that
they
will
get
mony
Inough
both
〈◊〉
defraye
charges
and
to
recompence
them
for
their
paines
.
why
then
quoth
Freeman
it
séemes
by
your
speches
,
th●
the
knights
of
the
post
and
the
cutpursses
with
al
such
other
leawd
companions
are
confederated
together
for
I
perceiue
the
cutpursse
is
so
kinde
,
that
if
he
haue
it
,
the
knights
shall
not
want
it
?
no
I
assure
you
(
qd.
G.
)
for
both
those
Scas
are
growne
into
one
leage
of
friendship
,
hauing
sworne
as
néed
requireth
,
one
good
fellowe
to
helpe
another
,
and
in
his
aduersitie
,
no
more
to
forsake
him
,
then
in
his
prosperitie
:
doe
all
the
knights
of
the
post
vse
this
practice
(
qd.
Free.
?
)
G.
answered
,
no
not
all
,
but
some
of
them
,
especially
those
of
the
midling
or
latest
sorte
,
what
is
there
such
diuersitie
of
them
,
yea
too
many
(
said
G.
)
who
goe
about
as
fishwiues
carrie
Oysters
,
new
and
stale
:
But
I
pray
you
tell
mee
(
qd.
F.
)
what
shift
doe
they
make
,
when
these
persons
for
whom
they
are
bound
doe
not
appiere
,
at
the
next
Sessions
or
Gail
deliuerie
?
You
shall
vnderstand
(
qd.
G.
that
the
K.
do
know
and
are
ver●lie
perswaded
,
as
a
thing
wherein
they
are
well
experienced
,
that
there
is
no
doubt
of
that
matter
,
for
those
fellowes
falling
to
their
oulde
trade
againe
(
because
they
are
so
grownded
in
filching
,
cannot
otherwise
betake
themselues
to
any
vertuous
labour
it
is
vnpossible
,
but
they
will
be
aprehended
,
for
one
vilde
fact
or
other
,
before
the
Sessions
,
so
that
he
will
be
●oerth
comming
sure
ynough
,
wherby
their
bondes
are
saued
.
And
it
is
to
be
noted
that
so
long
as
they
stand
bound
for
any
of
them
,
they
wil
not
baile
them
out
againe
,
but
suffer
the
law
either
to
set
them
at
libertie
,
or
send
them
to
the
gallowes
,
for
they
are
as
careful
in
this
case
,
as
th●
hangman
is
,
to
tye
the
halter
fast
,
so
that
there
can
come
no
danger
to
them
in
the
world
.
Then
I
perceiue
(
qd.
F.
)
th●
if
a
man
,
or
a
woman
,
commit
neuer
so
hainous
offence
,
except
in
cases
of
treason
,
murder
,
&
such
like
,
he
may
be
bayled
out
of
prison
at
any
time
if
he
haue
acquaintance
with
any
of
these
fellowes
,
and
haue
store
of
moneye
to
helpe
himselfe
withall
,
yea
verelie
(
said
Good
.
)
&
they
doe
not
onely
baile
men
out
of
Newgate
,
but
out
of
the
Marshalsea
,
the
White
Lyon
,
the
Gatehouse
at
Westminster
,
Finsherie
,
Wentworth
prison
,
and
out
of
the
counter
in
Southwark
for
debt
.
Some
they
doe
(
said
G.
)
but
not
many
,
for
in
these
Courtes
they
dare
not
aduenture
in
cases
of
debt
,
so
bouldlie
as
in
the
higher
courtes
,
because
the
courses
of
law
there
,
comes
a
great
deale
sooner
for
trialls
,
then
in
the
rest
.
whereby
an
execution
comes
vpon
their
backes
,
before
they
looke
for
it
.
Then
I
perceiue
(
quoth
F.
)
for
all
their
haste
they
are
ouertaken
sometimes
.
Why
you
must
thinke
,
it
is
vnpossible
(
said
G.
they
doing
so
many
matters
continually
)
but
that
they
should
be
taken
and
clapt
by
the
héeles
for
some
of
them
.
Now
I
pray
you
G.
tell
me
where
doe
all
these
knightes
of
the
post
dwell
and
inhabit
,
are
they
all
Londoners
?
no
not
the
tenth
man
(
qd.
G.
)
for
some
of
them
dwell
at
Redding
,
some
at
Ware
,
some
at
Colebroke
,
some
at
Staines
,
some
at
S.
Albones
,
some
at
Hartford
,
some
further
of
,
and
some
néerer
hand
:
Then
(
said
F.
)
it
is
great
maruill
that
they
are
not
refused
when
they
come
before
the
Maiestrate
.
séeing
their
dwellings
are
so
farre
of
,
why
I
tould
you
(
quoth
G
,
)
that
they
neuer
giue
true
notice
either
of
their
names
or
dwelling
place
,
and
that
they
will
knowe
before
hand
,
before
what
Iudge
they
must
goe
,
and
also
what
danger
there
is
in
the
cause
,
before
such
time
,
as
they
will
enter
into
the
matter
,
being
as
feare●ull
to
be
taken
tardie
,
as
the
whelp
is
to
lapp
hote
porage
.
But
is
it
possible
(
quoth
F.
)
that
these
men
,
that
are
so
redy
to
forsweare
themselues
,
wil
be
trustie
in
their
dealings
to
them
that
put
them
in
trust
:
nay
(
quoth
G.
)
I
may
tell
you
,
some
of
them
vse
these
shiftes
,
when
they
haue
little
other
buisenes
to
goe
from
prison
to
prison
,
and
promise
poore
men
to
worke
wonders
for
them
,
but
they
will
not
stur
their
foote
without
some
mony
in
hand
,
and
when
they
haue
once
fingerd
it
,
they
neither
doe
the
parties
good
,
nor
paraduenture
neuer
come
to
him
againe
,
whereby
he
loses
thrée
thinges
at
one
time
,
his
good
hope
,
his
mony
,
and
his
name
.
This
was
no
sooner
spoken
,
but
a
foot-poste
of
Plimmouth
ouertooke
th●
,
cladde
in
a
flannell
wastcoat
,
and
a
linnen
paire
of
breeches
,
with
a
Spaniardes
hat
on
his
head
,
that
sate
vpon
his
pate
like
the
bottome
of
a
pipkin
.
God
speede
my
masters
qd.
he
:
how
farre
trauell
you
tonight
:
euen
to
Salisburie
said
they
.
Trust
me
said
the
foot-poste
,
I
guest
as
much
by
your
softe
going
,
and
there
likewise
will
I
take
vp
my
lodging
.
Came
you
from
London
qd.
they
:
Yes
marry
said
the
Poste
,
I
broke
my
faste
there
yesterday
morning
What
is
the
best
newes
there
?
Uery
good
newes
said
the
Poste
:
Carriage
is
become
so
cheape
,
that
a
man
may
ride
for
nothing
.
That
indéed
is
good
newes
quoth
Goodcoll
for
wearied
men
,
is
it
not
?
Yes
marry
said
Freeman
,
for
such
as
dwel
there
,
but
it
profiteth
vs
nothing
.
It
may
in
good
time
quoth
the
Poste
:
Why
?
what
dost
thou
meane
by
that
saith
Goodcoll
?
That
may
be
answered
soone
at
supper
,
answered
the
other
,
if
you
like
to
lodg
at
my
hoasts
house
:
where
is
that
quoth
they
?
In
Salisburie
at
the
signe
of
the
Griffin
saith
he
:
where
you
shall
bée
well
vsed
for
your
money
.
:
&
it
is
the
first
Inne
that
we
shall
come
to
in
the
Citie
.
Goodcoll
answered
:
We
desire
but
good
vsage
for
our
money
and
good
lodging
.
Then
meane
not
I
to
suppe
with
you
quoth
the
poste
:
No
:
why
so
saide
they
?
because
you
request
but
good
vsage
for
our
money
and
good
lodging
:
but
I
must
haue
meate
for
my
stomacke
.
There
you
were
euen
with
me
indeed
saith
Freeman
:
the
poste
replied
:
not
so
:
for
I
am
lower
then
you
by
the
head
:
then
you
reckon
not
the
height
of
your
hornes
quoth
Goodcoll
.
The
poste
seeing
himselfe
matcht
:
turnd
his
spéech
to
other
purpose
and
so
they
poste
on
their
way
to
Salisburie
:
and
to
the
signe
of
the
Griffin
they
goe
:
where
the
foot-poste
as
one
best
acquainted
:
entered
in
first
and
called
the
good
man
of
the
house
:
wishing
they
might
haue
somewhat
to
supper
.
Looke
what
they
cald
for
they
had
:
and
the
goodman
sate
downe
with
them
for
company
and
bad
them
all
heartily
welcome
:
so
with
many
pleasant
spéeches
they
past
their
supper
time
.
At
length
qd.
the
goodman
:
What
newes
(
Gentlemen
)
at
London
.
Certainely
said
Freeman
for
our
owne
partes
we
knowe
none
:
but
I
remember
this
light-footed
ladde
tolde
vs
by
the
way
that
he
would
shewe
vs
some
:
and
referred
the
whole
storie
till
the
time
of
our
supper
:
which
now
being
ended
he
may
proceede
to
the
matter
when
he
pleaseth
.
I
haue
nothing
to
say
but
this
quoth
the
poste
:
that
in
London
béefe
is
indifferent
good
cheape
but
mutton
is
deare
:
for
the
market
is
forestald
greatly
by
the
two
takers
of
London
who
fetch
all
the
fairest
muttons
out
of
common
pastures
and
pennes
them
vp
to
other
purposes
:
by
the
masse
thou
art
a
knaue
qd.
the
goodman
:
O
my
heast
saith
the
other
,
there
is
such
a
lamentation
made
in
Venus
court
,
as
the
like
hath
not
béene
heard
of
long
time
:
pretty
wenches
goe
so
fast
to
Bridewell
as
it
passeth
:
some
in
their
taffaty
gownes
:
some
in
their
wast-coates
all
ouerw●ought
with
blacke
worke
.
And
poore
soules
they
wéepe
not
so
sore
,
but
the
beadles
of
Bridewell
laughe
as
fast
:
for
now
their
gaines
commeth
in
out
of
all
crie
.
Tush
qd.
Goodcoll
they
haue
gone
a
great
while
on
the
score
and
now
possible
they
are
cald
to
a
reckoning
:
and
great
reason
they
shoulde
make
paiment
:
Nay
by
the
masse
they
are
paid
qd.
the
poste
:
Y
woulde
not
be
so
paid
for
an
hundred
pound
But
you
tolde
.
vs
of
another
matter
said
Freeman
as
we
came
ouer
the
Playne
:
and
●s
as
plaine
a
matter
as
the
Plaine
of
Salisburie
saide
the
poste
.
Then
said
his
hoast
:
What
was
it
?
Marry
qd.
he
one
there
was
of
so
kinde
a
nature
,
that
hee
woulde
suffer
any
good
fellow
to
lie
with
his
wife
that
lackt
a
wife
:
In
requitall
whereof
my
Lord
Maior
of
L.
lent
him
a
Cart
to
ride
in
for
nothing
:
and
because
the
Cuck●ld
was
rich
:
no
hornes
would
serue
his
turne
but
golden
hornes
:
and
bearing
himselfe
some
what
bragge
of
my
Lords
preferment
:
the
proud
foole
got
on
his
hollyday
cappe
vpon
a
working
day
:
whereby
euery
boy
perceiued
his
asses
eares
:
and
in
this
sort
he
rode
vp
and
downe
the
Citie
till
the
people
droue
him
away
by
●inging
of
dyrt
at
him
.
And
as
he
went
one
way
I
came
another
with
purpose
to
bring
you
certaine
newes
of
this
matter
,
for
such
goulden
hornes
as
he
wore
,
did
I
neuer
sée
in
my
life
.
And
now
my
hoast
,
tell
vs
what
we
haue
to
pay
,
then
said
Freeman
to
G.
doo
you
lay
downe
mony
for
me
,
and
I
will
giue
it
you
againe
,
I
loue
not
to
shewe
my
gould
in
an
In
,
for
Tapsters
and
Ostlers
(
they
say
)
are
not
alwayes
the
honestest
men
.
But
come
my
hoast
(
saith
Fr.
)
I
was
neuer
in
this
Cittie
before
,
and
I
would
desire
you
,
to
take
the
paines
to
goe
with
these
my
friends
,
&
my selfe
,
to
viewe
the
stréetes
,
&
to
see
the
minster
,
for
I
haue
heard
great
commendation
of
it
,
sir
(
quoth
the
goodman
)
I
am
content
to
walke
with
you
,
and
to
shewe
you
the
minster
,
or
to
doe
you
any
other
fauour
,
that
I
may
:
so
when
Free
,
and
his
two
friendes
,
with
their
hoast
,
had
taken
their
pleasure
in
walking
vp
and
downe
the
Cittie
,
he
would
néeds
to
requite
his
hoastes
courtesie
,
giue
him
a
quart
of
wine
at
the
Grayhounde
,
which
beeing
as
willingly
accepted
,
as
it
was
kindelie
offerd
,
into
the
Tauarne
they
went
,
where
they
made
their
quart
a
pottle
:
Now
the
foote-post
vnderstanding
where
they
were
,
thought
he
would
goe
to
catch
a
cup
of
wine
among
them
,
and
comming
merely
in
,
euen
as
the●
were
paying
the
shot
,
askt
if
they
lackt
companie
,
no
but
we
lacke
wine
(
quoth
F.
)
the
worse
lucke
for
me
,
said
the
post
,
I
would
I
had
béene
more
forward
in
comming
hither
,
or
you
lesse
hastie
in
drinking
the
wine
,
wilt
thou
not
giue
vs
a
pint
,
saith
his
hoast
,
yes
marrie
will
I
,
answered
the
other
,
and
with
that
he
calles
the
Drawer
,
saying
:
bring
vs
hither
a
pint
:
what
shall
it
be
sir
,
faire
water
(
qd.
the
post
)
with
that
they
all
laught
,
saying
:
he
would
be
at
coste
well
answered
Freeman
I
will
giue
this
mery
fellowe
a
quarte
of
wine
of
wine
,
for
his
good
companye
today
,
I
thanke
you
,
sir
saith
the
foote
poste
,
and
with
that
sat
downe
among
them
,
where
what
with
one
merrie
Iest
or
another
,
wine
was
called
for
in
lustelie
,
At
what
time
in
the
middest
of
their
Cuppes
,
M.
Freeman
swore
hee
would
goe
to
Plimmouth
with
them
foote
by
foote
'
,
so
when
.
the
reckoning
came
to
be
paid
,
he
requested
by
Goodcoll
again
,
according
to
his
accustomed
order
,
to
lay
downe
money
for
him
:
by
the
mass
qd.
Goodcoll
,
what
with
our
supper
and
this
shotte
,
I
haue
but
one
gr●at
left
of
my
tenne
shillings
,
for
it
is
no
reason
my
hoast
should
pay
any
thing
at
all
,
or
this
my
friend
either
,
and
as
for
the
foot-poste
,
you
promised
him
to
giue
him
a
quart
of
wine
:
That
is
very
true
quoth
Freeman
,
pay
all
Goodcoll
at
this
time
,
and
in
faith
for
that
odde
groat
which
remaines
,
we
will
haue
a
freshe
pinte
of
sacke
.
Now
when
that
was
druncke
,
they
went
all
to
their
lodging
.
In
the
morning
the
foot-post
was
soonest
vp
:
who
calling
to
the
rest
of
his
company
:
askt
if
they
were
almost
ready
to
walke
:
but
Free●an
had
drunke
so
hard
ouer
night
that
he
had
no
liste
to
rise
so
timely
in
the
morning
:
&
as
for
Goodcol
his
money
was
all
gone
and
spent
:
therefore
he
woulde
not
goe
before
his
good
friend
Freeman
:
for
my
owne
part
I
woulde
faine
haue
gone
along
with
the
foot-poste
:
but
that
Goodcoll
did
earnestly
intreat
me
to
the
contrary
:
whereupon
I
stayd
:
&
at
length
Freeman
rising
he
called
straight
for
something
to
breakefast
which
was
soone
prepared
(
for
he
was
still
the
Gentleman
)
so
having
something
refresht
our selves
we
rose
from
the
boord
:
pay
Goodcoll
qd.
Freeman
lay
out
for
me
:
I●can
lay
out
no
more
quoth
Goodcoll
but
all
:
then
Freeman
willed
mée
to
lay
downe
for
them
both
,
which
I
did
:
and
so
taking
our
leaue
of
our
hoast
,
wée
set
forward
on
our
iourney
toward
Shaftesbury
.
Whereupon
trauailing
by
the
way
,
we
fell
into
our
olde
accustumed
talke
:
and
amongst
many
other
things
'
:
Goodcoll
there
told
us
that
the
Kn.
of
the
poste
were
marueilous
good
companions
when
they
had
store
of
money
:
and
howe
commonly
they
would
be
sure
alwayes
to
haue
money
before
hand
of
him
that
should
vse
them
though
they
did
nothing
.
Then
said
●reeman
to
Goodcoll
I
had
forgot
to
aske
you
one
question
yesterday
:
&
Indeede
the
foot-post
did
breake
off
our
talke
,
or
else
I
had
done
it
.
I
pray
you
tell
me
,
where
are
any
of
these
Kn.
of
the
post
at
any
time
to
be
founde
;
if
th●
a
man
shoulde
happen
to
haue
néede
of
them
▪
Truly
,
I
assure
you
(
quoth
Goodcole
)
if
it
be
in
the
tearme
time
,
you
may
haue
them
most
commonly
in
Fléetstréete
,
about
S.
In
,
or
else
about
Ch.
lane
:
or
else
in
some
of
the
pudding-pie
houses
at
Westminster
,
or
else
at
the
thrée
legges
there
,
and
at
one
of
these
places
(
I
say
)
you
shall
be
sure
neuer
to
misse
of
some
of
them
themselues
,
or
else
of
some
of
their
parte-takers
that
are
the
procurers
of
them
.
But
if
it
be
out
of
tearme
time
:
you
shall
haue
them
commonly
,
once
or
twice
a
day
,
walking
in
D.
Humfreys
Alley
in
Powles
,
or
at
the
Lion
on
the
backe-side
of
S
Nichollas
Shambles
,
or
at
the
Rose
in
Pannier
alley
,
or
at
th●
Dolphin
in
the
end
of
Carter
lane
:
and
sometimes
at
the
Wooll-sacke
in
the
same
lane
:
and
there
lye
crushing
of
th●
two-penny
Ale-pot
halfe
a
day
together
:
but
if
you
do
misse
(
as
doubtles
you
cannot
)
to
finde
any
of
them
in
▪
some
of
those
places
:
yet
there
is
a
Bell
(
but
in
what
place
it
may
hang
I
know
not
)
that
if
it
be
toulled
,
or
at
least-wise
Rong
out
,
it
will
with
the
sounde
thereof
,
cause
an
hundred
of
them
to
méete
together
,
within
thrée
houres
,
to
serue
any
mans
turne
that
hath
néede
.
And
I
dare
warrant
you
th●
Mephostophilus
neuer
haunted
D.
Faustus
more
,
then
these
fellowes
doe
those
places
:
where
they
consume
their
time
,
&
spend
away
all
their
thrifte
.
But
what
doe
they
take
ordinarilie
qd.
Fr.
for
baileing
of
a
man
?
All
after
as
th●
matter
is
(
qd.
Goodc
.
)
sometimes
more
,
and
sometimes
lesse
,
as
they
can
make
their
bargaine
.
But
as
I
haue
heard
(
quoth
Fr.
)
that
there
are
another
sort
of
Kn.
of
the
poste
,
that
will
beare
false
witnes
in
any
mans
behalfe
that
will
hire
them
,
such
as
came
to
sweare
against
Christ
,
whose
Glorie
is
their
shame
:
And
albeit
some
of
them
do
make
a
shew
of
Christianitie
:
yet
are
they
voide
of
all
feare
of
God
,
and
of
no
religion
at
all
:
but
let
vs
saide
●
.
leaue
of
speaking
any
furder
of
them
at
this
time
:
and
at
my
comming
backe
from
Sea
I
will
make
a
great
number
of
them
be
manifestly
knowne
to
the
world
.
With
that
I
that
all
this
while
lent
earnest
care
to
their
talke
,
caste
forth
my
verdicte
thus
:
it
séemeth
(
qd
I
)
M
Goodco
.
that
you
&
M.
Fr.
haue
bine
much
conuersant
with
these
fellowes
because
you
know
their
names
so
well
,
&
can
open
all
these
matters
so
perfectly
:
I
was
conuersant
with
them
so
long
saide
Good
.
that
it
grudged
my
conscience
sore
to
sée
their
dealinges
:
and
grieued
my
heart
to
be
any
longer
in
their
company
:
so
did
it
mine
saide
Fr.
and
with
that
,
there
was
other
footemen
that
ouertooke
vs
,
which
caused
vs
to
breake
of
our
talke
,
but
Goodcole
vowed
déeply
,
th●
if
euer
it
were
his
good
fortune
to
come
from
the
sea
againe
:
not
only
to
double
what
he
hath
spoken
,
but
also
to
be
a
scourge
for
euer
to
all
such
disceitfull
persons
:
and
so
kéeping
company
with
the
rest
th●
ouer
tooke
vs
,
we
droue
out
our
time
till
we
came
to
Shaftsburie
,
where
M.
Fréeman
caused
me
to
lay
out
mony
againe
for
them
both
,
saying
he
woulde
change
two
or
thrée
peeces
of
golde
at
Exceter
&
pay
me
all
againe
:
but
when
we
came
there
,
&
that
I
had
laide
out
all
my
money
at
his
request
:
not
one
penny
or
peece
of
gold
,
had
he
in
the
worlde
:
but
was
faine
to
sell
his
cloake
for
very
néede
:
wherevppon
I
was
a
little
moued
,
to
see
my selfe
thus
ser●d
in
a
strange
place
,
&
asked
him
if
he
were
not
ashamed
to
come
so
far
to
heare
a
tale
,
&
to
spend
all
his
money
too
:
and
Goodc
.
on
th●
other
side
,
was
as
blanke
as
my selfe
:
in
troth
M.
Fr.
qd
he
,
you
had
neede
now
to
go
&
receiue
your
money
at
London
,
if
there
be
any
for
you
,
is
your
great
store
of
gold
come
to
this
reckning
?
no
maruell
but
you
should
haue
your
chamber
doze
lockt
for
feare
of
robbing
.
My
masters
qd.
he
,
I
haue
deceiued
you
as
you
suppose
,
but
none
is
deceiued
so
much
as
my selfe
:
and
if
with
patience
you
will
heare
me
,
I
will
shew
you
:
At
the
same
time
th●
I
landed
at
Brist
.
there
was
one
with
me
,
that
came
out
of
Ireland
also
:
a
man
th●
séemed
to
be
of
good
credite
,
who
had
an
Irish
boy
to
waite
upon
him
,
&
hauing
bine
as
he
said
long
out
of
England
,
bent
his
iourney
to
visit
his
friends
in
Lancashire
:
we
comming
ouer
both
in
one
ship
,
made
accout
also
to
lie
in
one
lodging
:
&
he
hauing
as
well
as
my selfe
good
store
of
money
,
bought
him selfe
a
new
sute
of
Apparell
at
Brist
,
the
which
in
my
eie
seeming
faire
&
good
,
I
woulde
néedes
straight
way
buye
me
the
like
,
which
when
I
had
done
,
I
to
haue
the
residue
of
my
gold
sure
,
fe●ring
eyther
to
be
robed
,
or
deceiued
thereof
,
ript
that
lineing
of
my
doublet
in
diuers
places
,
&
therein
basted
my
gold
most
secretly
,
now
that
gentlmam
&
I
,
lying
together
that
night
,
the
next
morning
he
rose
before
me
,
and
as
it
séemed
,
he
put
on
my
doublet
&
left
me
his
:
which
I
thinke
on
my
conscience
he
did
it
simplie
&
unknowne
to
him selfe
,
be
cause
he
made
himselfe
ready
in
my
sight
,
and
at
his
departure
away
,
he
brought
me
vp
into
my
chamber
a
pinte
of
metheglin
,
and
drinkeing
to
me
he
bad
me
farewell
:
now
I
supposing
all
this
while
that
I
had
my
own
doublet
on
,
made
indéede
no
other
reckning
:
had
therein
great
store
of
golde
,
but
when
that
this
morning
I
searched
&
found
it
not
so
,
you
may
thinke
that
I
was
not
a
liltle
grieued
:
therefore
my
masters
here
is
the
one
halfe
of
that
I
had
for
my
cloake
,
to
bring
you
to
Plimmouth
,
&
with
the
rest
,
I
will
trauell
into
Lancashire
to
my
gentleman
,
for
my
own
doublet
,
and
therefore
till
I
sée
you
againe
,
adiew
,
and
thinke
hereafter
no
worse
of
me
then
you
haue
founde
,
and
so
we
parted
:
he
towardes
Lancashire
,
and
we
towards
Plimmouth
.
Thus
much
(
gentle
reader
)
haue
you
heard
of
the
cunning
shiftes
&
wicked
deuises
of
those
lewde
and
e●●●l-minded
persons
:
Wishing
all
honest
men
to
be
ware
of
them
:
and
at
Goodcoles
returne
from
Sea
,
you
shall
be
sure
to
sée
a
second
parte
hereof
,
and
if
any
of
them
do
spurne
hereat
:
let
him
be
well
assured
that
the
next
will
touch
him
to
that
quicke
,
and
in
the
meane
space
I
doe
with
this
to
be
published
to
that
view
of
that
worlde
,
and
soe
farewell
.
