CHAP.
1.
WHen
all
the
World
was
but
one
One
language
through
all
the
world
at
the
beginning
.
Kingdome
,
all
the
people
in
that
Kingdome
spake
but
one
Language
.
A
man
could
trauell
in
those
dayes
neyther
by
Sea
nor
Land
,
but
he
met
his
Countreymen
,
&
none
others
.
Two
could
not
then
stand
gabling
with
strange
tongues
,
and
conspire
together
(
to
his
owne
face
)
how
to
cut
a
third
mans
throate
,
but
he
might
vnderstand
them
.
There
was
no
Spaniard
(
in
that
age
)
to
braue
his
enemie
in
the
rich
and
loftie
Castilian
:
no
Romaine
Orator
to
plead
in
the
Rethoricall
and
Fluent
Latine
:
no
Italian
to
court
his
Mistressa
in
the
sweet
and
amorous
Tuscane
:
no
French-man
to
parley
in
the
full
and
stately
phrase
of
Orleans
no
Germaine
to
thunder
out
the
high
and
ratling
Dutch
:
the
vnfruitfull
crabbed
Irish
,
and
the
voluble
significant
Welch
,
were
not
then
so
much
as
spoken
of
:
the
quicke
Scottish
Dialect
(
sister
to
the
English
)
had
not
then
a
tongue
,
neyther
were
the
strings
of
the
English
speech
(
in
those
times
)
vntyed
.
When
she
first
learned
to
speake
,
it
was
but
a
broken
language
:
the
singlest
and
the
simplest
words
flowed
from
her
vtterance
;
for
she
dealt
in
nothing
but
in
Monosillables
,
(
as
if
to
haue
spoken
words
of
greater
length
would
haue
crackt
her
voyce
)
by
which
meanes
her
Eloquence
was
●●rest
yet
hardest
to
learne
,
and
so
(
but
for
necessitie
)
not
regarded
amongst
Strangers
.
Yet
afterwards
those
noblest
languages
English
tongue
comparable
to
the
best
.
lent
her
words
and
phrases
,
and
turning
those
Borrowings
into
Good
husbandry
,
shée
is
now
as
rich
in
Elocution
,
and
as
abundant
,
as
her
prowdest
and
best-stored
neighbours
.
Whilst
thus
(
as
I
said
before
)
there
was
but
one
Alphabet
of
Letters
for
all
the
world
to
read
by
:
all
the
people
that
then
liued
,
might
haue
wrought
vpon
one
piece
of
worke
in
countries
farre
distant
a
sunder
,
without
mistaking
one
another
,
and
not
néeding
an
Interpreter
to
run
betwéene
them
.
Which
thing
Nymrod
(
the
first
Idolater
)
perceiuing
,
and
not
knowing
better
how
to
imploy
so
many
thousand
millions
of
Subiects
as
bowed
before
him
:
a
fire
of
Ambition
burned
within
him
,
to
climbe
vp
so
high
that
he
might
sée
what
was
done
in
heauen
.
And
for
that
purpose
,
work-men
were
summoned
from
all
the
corners
of
the
Earth
,
who
presently
were
set
to
build
the
tower
of
Building
of
Babel
.
Babell
.
But
the
Maister-workman
of
this
great
Vniuerse
,
(
to
checke
the
insolence
of
such
a
sawcie
builder
)
that
durst
raise
vp
pinnacles
equall
to
his
owne
(
aboue
)
commanded
the
selfe-same
Spirit
,
that
was
both
bred
in
the
Chaos
,
and
had
maintained
it
in
disorder
,
to
be
both
Surueyor
of
those
workes
,
and
Comptroller
of
the
Labourers
.
This
Messenger
Confusion
described
.
was
called
Confusion
.
It
was
a
Spirit
swift
of
sight
,
&
faithfull
of
seruice
.
Her
lookes
wilde
,
serrible
and
inconstant
:
her
attire
carelesly
loose
,
and
of
a
thousand
seuerall
colours
.
In
one
hand
shée
grip'd
an
heape
of
stormes
,
with
which
(
at
her
pleasure
)
she
could
trouble
the
waters
:
in
the
other
she
held
a
whip
,
to
make
thrée
Spirits
that
drew
her
to
gallop
fast
before
her
:
the
Spirits
names
were
Treason
,
Sedition
;
and
Warre
,
who
at
euery
time
when
they
went
abroad
;
were
ready
to
see
Kingdomes
in
an
vproare
.
She
roade
vpon
a
Chariot
of
clowdes
,
which
was
alwayes
furnished
with
Thunder
,
Lightning
,
Windes
,
Raine
,
Haile-stones
,
Snow
,
and
all
the
other
Artillerie
belonging
to
the
seruice
of
Diuine
Vengeance
:
and
when
she
spake
,
her
voyce
founded
like
the
roaring
of
many
Torrents
;
voysterously
strugling
together
,
for
betwéene
her
iawes
did
she
carry
1000000
tongues
.
This
strange
Linguist
stepping
to
euery
artificer
that
Beginning
of
Languages
.
was
there
at
worke
,
whispered
in
his
eare
:
whose
lookes
were
there-vpon
(
presently
)
〈◊〉
with
a
strange
distraction
:
and
on
a
sodaine
,
whilst
euery
man
was
speaking
to
his
fellow
,
his
language
altered
,
and
no
man
could
vnderstand
what
his
fellow
spake
.
They
all
stared
one
vpon
another
,
yet
none
of
them
all
could
tell
wherefore
,
so
they
stared
.
Their
tongues
went
,
and
their
hands
gaue
action
to
their
tongues
,
yet
neyther
words
nor
action
were
vnderstood
.
It
was
a
noise
of
a
thousand
sounds
,
and
yet
the
sound
of
the
noise
was
nothing
.
Hée
that
spake
knew
hée
spake
well
:
and
hée
that
heard
,
was
madde
that
the
other
could
speake
no
better
.
In
the
end
they
grew
angry
one
with
another
,
as
thinking
they
had
mocked
one
another
of
purpose
:
so
that
the
Mason
was
ready
to
strike
the
Bricklayer
,
the
Bricklayer
to
beate
out
the
braines
of
his
Labourer
:
the
Carpenter
tooke
vp
his
Are
to
throw
at
the
Caruer
,
whilst
the
Caruer
was
stabbing
at
the
Smith
,
because
he
brought
him
an
Hammer
,
when
hée
should
haue
made
him
a
Chizzell
:
He
that
called
for
Timber
had
stones
laid
before
him
:
and
when
one
was
sent
for
Nayles
,
hée
fetcht
a
Tray
of
Morter
.
Thus
Babel
should
haue
béene
raized
,
and
by
this
meanes
Babell
fell
.
The
Frame
could
not
goe
forward
,
the
stuffe
was
throwne
by
,
the
worke-men
made
holy-day
.
Euery
one
packd
vp
his
Tooles
to
be
gone
,
yet
not
to
goe
the
same
way
that
he
came
,
but
glad
was
hée
,
that
could
méete
another
whose
speech
hée
vnderstood
:
for
to
what
place
soeuer
hee
went
,
others
(
that
ran
madding
vp
and
downe
)
hearing
a
man
speak
like
themselues
,
followed
onely
him
:
so
that
they
who
when
the
worke
began
were
all
Countrey-men
,
before
a
quarter
of
it
was
finished
,
fled
from
one
another
,
s
from
enemies
and
strangers
.
And
in
this
manner
did
men
at
the
first
make
vp
nations
:
thus
were
words
coyned
into
Languages
,
&
out
of
those
Languages
haue
others
béene
molded
since
,
onely
by
the
mixture
of
nations
after
Kingdomes
haue
béene
subdued
.
But
I
am
now
to
speake
of
a
People
and
a
Language
,
of
both
which
(
many
thousands
of
yéeres
since
that
Wonder
wrought
at
Babell
)
the
world
till
now
neuer
made
mention
:
yet
confusion
neuer
dwelt
more
amongst
any
Creatures
.
The
Bell-man

first

which
he

yet

full
of
a
noble

,
rarely
gouerned
.
The
Lawes
,
manners
,
and
habits
of
these
Wild-men
are
plainly
set
downe
,
as
it
were
in
a
former

.
Yet
least
happily
a

may
looke
vpon

it
shall
not
be
a
misse
(
in
this
place
)
to
repeate
ouer
againe
,
the
Names
of
all
the
Tribes
,
into
which
they
Diu●de
themselues
,
both
when
they
Serue
abroad
in
the
open
fields
,
and
when
they
lye
in
garrison
within
Townes
&
walled
Cities
.
And
these
are
their
Ranckes
,
as
they
stand
in
order
,
viz.
-
RVfflers
.
-
Vpright-men
.
-
Hookers
,
alias
Anglers
.
-

-

-

.
Into
thus
many
Regiments
are
they
now
deuided
:
but
in
former
times
(
aboue
foure
hundred
yeares
now
past
)
they
did
consist
of
fiue
Squadrons
onely
.
viz.
-
-

Cursitors

.
-
2
Faytors

And
as
these
people
are
strange
both
in
names
and
in
their
conditions
,
so
doe
they
speake
a
Language
(
proper
only
to
themselues
)
called
canting
,
which
is
more
strange
.
Of
canting
.
By
none
but
the
souldiers
of
These
tottred
bandes
,
is
it
familiarly
or
vsually
spoken
,
yet
within
lesse
then
foure-score
How
long

Canting

The
first

.
yeares
(
now
past
)
not
a
word
of
this
language
was
knowen
.
The
first
Inuentor
of
it
,
was
hang'd
,
yet
left
he
apt
schollers
behind
him
,
who
haue
reduced
that
into
Methode
,
which
he
on
his
death-bed
(
which
was
a
paire
of
gallowes
)
could
not
so
absolutely
perfect
as
he
desired
.
It
was
necessary
,
that
a
people
(
so
fast
increasing
,
&
so
daity
practising
new
&
strange
Villanies
,
should
borrow
to
themselues
a
spéech
,
which
(
so
néere
as
they
could
)
none
but
themselues
should
vnderstand
:
&
for
that
cause
was
this
Language
,
(
which
some
call
Pedlers
French
)
How
canting
grew
to
be
a
language
.
Inuented
,
to
th'
intent
that
(
albeit
any
Spies
should
secretly
steale
into
their
companies
to
discouer
them
)
they
might
fréely
vtter
their
mindes
one
to
another
,
yet
auoide
the
danger
.
The
language
therefore
of
canting
,
they
study
euen
from
their
Infancy
,
that
is
to
say
,
from
the
very
first
houre
,
that
they
take
vpón
them
the
names
of
Kinchin
Coes
,
till
they
are
growne
Rufflers
,
or
Vpright-men
,
which
are
the
highest
in
degrée
amongst
them
.
This
word
canting
séemes
to
be
deriued
from
the
latine
verbe
(
canto
)
which
signifies
in
English
,
to
sing
,
or
to
make
a
sound
with
words
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
speake
.
And
very
aptly
may
canting
take
his
deriuation
a
cantando
,
from
singing
,
because
amongst
these
beggerly
consorts
that
can
play
vpon
no
better
instruments
,
the
language
of
canting
is
a
king
of
musicke
,
and
hée
that
in
such
assemblies
can
cant
best
,
is
counted
the
best
Musitian
.
Now
as
touching
the
Dialect
or
phrase
it selfe
,
I
sée
not
that
it
is
grounded
vpon
any
certaine
rules
;
And
no
meruaile
if
it
haue
none
,
for
sithence
both
the
Father
of
this
new
kinde
of
Learning
,
and
the
children
that
study
to
speake
it
after
him
,
haue
béene
from
the
beginning
and
stil
are
the
Breeders
and
Norishers
of
al
base
disorder
,
in
their
liuing
and
in
their
Manners
:
how
is
it
possible
,
they
should
obserue
any
Method
in
their
spéech
,
and
especialy
in
such
a
Language
,
as
serues
but
onely
to
vtter
discourses
of
villanies
?
And
yet
(
euen
out
of
all
that
Irregularity
,
vnhansomnesse
,
and
fountaine
of
Barbarisme
)
doe
they
draw
a
kinde
of
forme
:
and
in
some
wordes
,
(
aswell
simple
as
compounds
)
retaine
a
certaine
salte
,
tasting
of
some
wit
,
and
some
Learning
.
As
for
example
,
they
call
a
cloake
(
in
the
canting
tongue
)
a
Togeman
,
and
in
Latin
,
Toga
signifies
a
gowne
,
or
an
vpper
garment
.
Pannam
is
bread
:
&
Panis
in
Lattin
is
likewise
bread
,
cassan
is
chéese
,
and
is
a
word
barbarously
coynde
out
of
the
substantiue
caseus
,
which
also
signifies
chéese
.
And
so
of
others
.
Then
by
ioyning
of
two
simples
,
doe
they
make
almost
all
their
compounds
.
As
for
example
:
Nab
(
in
the
canting
The
Dialect
of
Canting
.
tongue
)
is
a
head
,
and
Nab-cheate
,
is
a
hat
,
or
a
cap
:
Which
word
cheate
,
being
coupled
to
other
wordes
,
stands
in
very
good
stead
,
and
does
excellent
seruice
:
For
a
Smelling
cheate
,
signifies
a
Nose
:
a
Prat-ling
cheate
,
is
a
tongue
Crashing
cheates
,
are
téeth
:
Hearing
.
cheates
are
Eares
:
Fambles
are
Hands
:
and
there
vpon
a
ring
is
called
a
Fambling
chete
.
A
Muffling
chete
,
signifies
a
Napkin
.
A
Belly
chete
,
an
Apron
:
A
Grunting
chete
,
A
Pig
:
A
Cackling
Chete
,
a
Cocke
or
a
Capon
:
A
Quacking
chete
,
a
ducke
:
A
Lowghing
chete
,
a
Cow
:
A
Bleating
chete
,
a
Calfe
,
or
a
Shéepe
:
and
so
may
that
word
be
marryed
to
many
others
besides
.
The
word
Coue
,
or
Cofe
,
or
Cuffin
,
signifies
a
Man
,
a
Fellow
,
&c.
But
differs
something
in
his
propertie
,
according
as
it
méetes
with
other
wordes
:
For
a
Gentleman
is
called
a
Gentry
Coue
,
or
Cofe
:
A
good
fellow
is
a
Bene
Cofe
:
a
Churle
is
called
,
a
Quier
Cuffin
;
Quier
signifies
naught
,
and
Cuffin
(
as
I
said
before
)
a
man
:
and
in
Canting
they
terme
a
Iustice
of
peace
,
(
because
hée
punisheth
them
belike
)
by
no
other
name
then
by
Quier
cuffin
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
Churle
,
or
a
naughty
man
.
And
so
,
Ken
signifing
a
house
,
they
call
a
prison
,
a
Quire
Ken
,
that
is
to
say
,
an
ill
hous
.
Many
péeces
of
this
strange
coyne
could
I
shew
you
,
but
by
these
small
stampes
,
you
may
iudge
of
the
greater
.
Now
because
,
a
Language
is
nothing
els
,
then
heapes
of
wordes
,
orderly
wouen
and
composed
together
:
and
that
(
within
so
narrow
a
circle
as
I
haue
drawne
to
my selfe
)
it
is
impossible
to
imprint
a
Dictionarie
of
all
the
Canting
phrases
:
I
will
at
this
time
not
make
you
surfet
on
too
much
,

But
vpon
a
day
when
a
great
matter
was
to
be
tryed
betwéene
an
Englishman
and
a
Dutchman
,
which
of
the
two
were
the
fowlest
Drinkers
,
and
the
case
being
a
long
time
in
arguing
,
by
reason
that
strong
euidence
came
in
réeling
on
both
sides
,
(
yet
it
was
thought
that
the
English-man
would
carry
it
away
,
and
cast
the
Dutchman
)
on
a
sodaine
all
was
staid
by
the
sound
of
a
horne
that
was
heard
at
the
lower
end
of
the
Hall
.
And
euery
one
looking
back
(
as
wondring
at
the
strangenes
)
roome
,
roome
,
was
cryed
and
made
through
the
thickest
of
the
crowde
,
for
a
certain
Spirit
,
in
the
likenesse
of
a
Post
,
who
made
away
on
a
little
leane
Nagge
vp
to
the
Bench
where
indge
Radamanth
with
his
two
grime
Brothers
(
Minos
and
Aecus
)
sat
.
This
Spirit
was
an
intelligencer
sent
by
Belzebub
of
Batharum
,
into
some
Countries
of
christendome
,
to
lye
there
as
a
Spie
,
and
had
brought
with
him
a
packet
of
letters
from
seuerall
Leigiers
that
lay
in
those
Countries
,
for
the
seruice
of
the
Tartarian
,
their
Lord
and
Maister
.
Which
packet
being
opened
,
all
the
Letters
(
because
they
concerned
the
generall
good
and
state
of
those
low
Countries
in
Hell
)
were
publikely
reade
.
The
contents
of
that
Letter
that
stung
most
,
and
put
them
all
out
of
their
law
cases
,
tended
to
this
purpose
.

whereas

were
not
onely
to
win
the
subiects
of
other
Princes
to
his
obadience
,
but
also
to
giue
notice
when
any
of
his
owne
sworne
houshold
,
or
any
other
that
held
league
with
him
should
reuolt
or
flie
from

:
also
discouer
from
time
to
time
all
plots
,
conspiracies
,
machinations
,
or
vnderminings
,
that
should
be
laid
(
albeit
they
that
durst
lay
them
should
digge
déepe
inough
)
to
blow
vp
his
great
Infernall
Citie
:
so
that
if
his
Horned
Regiment
were
not
sodainely
mustred
together
,
and
did
not
●●stely
bestirre
their
clouen
stumps
,
his
territories
would
be
shaken
,
his

left
in

vnpeopled
,
his
forces
looked
into
,
and
his
authoritie
which
he
held
in
the
world
,
contemned
and
laughed
to
scorne
.
The
reason
was
,
that
a
certaine
fellow
.
The
Childe
of
Darkenesse
,
a
common
Night-walker
,
a
man
that
had
no
man
to
waite
vpon
The
Bel-man
.
him
but
onely
a
Dogge
,
one
that
was
a
disordered
person
,
and
at
midnight
would
beate
at
mens
doores
,
bidding
them
(
in
meere
mockerie
)
to
looke
to
their
candles
,
when
they
themselues
were
in
their
dead
sleepes
:
and
albeit
hee
was
an
Officer
,
yet
hee
was
but
of
Light-carriage
,
being
knowne
by
the
name
of
the
Bel-man
of
London
,
had
of
late
not
onely
drawne
a
number
of
the
Deuils
owne
kindred
into
question
for
their
liues
,
but
had
also
(
onely
by
the
help
of
the
lanthorn
&
candle
)
lookt
into
the
serrets
of
the
best
trades
that
are
taught
in
hell
,
laying
them
open
to
the
broad
eye
of
the
world
,
making
them
infamous
,
odious
,
and
ridiculous
:
yea
,
and
not
satisfied
with
dooing
this
wrong
to
his
diuelship
,
very
spitefullie
hath
hée
set
them
out
in
print
,
drawing
their
pictures
so
to
the
life
,
that
now
a
horse-stealer
shall
not
shew
his
head
,
but
a
hailter
with
the
Hang-mans
noose
is
ready
to
be
fastned
about
it
:
A
Foyst
,
nor
a
Nip
shall
not
walke
into
a
Fayre
or
a
Play-house
,
but
euerie
tracke
will
cry
,
looke
to
your
purses
:
nor
a
poore
common
Rogue
come
to
a
mans
doore
,
but
he
shall
be
examined
if
hée
can
cant
.
If
this
Baulling
fellow
therefore
haue
not
his
mouth
stop'd
,
she
light
Angels
that
are
coynd
below
,
will
neuer
be
able
to
passe
as
they
haue
done
,
but
be
naild
vp
for
counterfeits
,
Hell
will
haue
no
dooings
,
and
the
deuill
be
no

.
This
was
the
lyking
of
the
Letter
,
and
this
Letter
draue
them
all
to
a
Non-plus
,
because
they
knew
not
how
to
answere
it
.
But
at
last
aduice
was
taken
,
the
Court
brake
vp
,
the
Tearme
was
adiournd
,
(
by
reason
that
the
Hell
houndes
were
thus
Plagu'd
)
&
a
common
counsell
in
hell
was
presently
called
how
to
redresse
these
abuses
.
The
Sathanicall
Sinagogue
being
set
,
vp
startes
the
Father
of
Hell
and
damnation
,
and
looking
verie
terribly
,
with
apaire
of
eies
that
stared
as
wide
as
the
mouth
gapes
at
Bishops-gate
,
fetching
foure
or
fiue
déep
sighes
(
which
were
nothing
else
but
the
Smoke
of
fire
&
brimstone
boyling
in
his
stomacke
,
and
shewed
as
if
hée
were
taking
Tobacco
,
which
be
oftentimes
does
)
tolde
his
children
&
seruants
(
and
the
rest
of
the
citizens
that
dwelt
within
the
freedome
of
Hell
,
and
sat
there
before
him
vpon
narrow
low
formes
)
that
they
neuer
had
more
cause
to
lay
their
heads
together
,
and
to
grow
politicians
.
Hée
and
they
all
knew
that
from
the
corners
of
the
earth
,
some
did
euery
houre
in
a
day
créepe
forth
,
to
come
and
serue
him
:
yea
,
that
many
thousands
were
so
bewitched
Huc
omnis
turba
with
his
fauours
,
and
his
rare
parts
,
that
they
would
come
running
quick
to
him
:
his
dominions
(
he
said
)
were
great
,
and
ful
of
people
,
Emperors
,
and
Kings
,
(
in
infinit
number
)
were
his
slaues
,
his
court
was
full
of
Princes
,
if
the
world
were
denided
(
as
some
report
)
but
into
thrée
Innumerae
gentes
populsqué
.
parts
,
two
of
those
thrée
were
his
:
or
if
(
as
others
affirme
)
into
foure
parts
,
almost
thrée
of
that
foure
hée
had
firme
footing
in
.
But
if
such
a
fellow
as
a
treble
voic'd
Bel-man
,
should
be
suffer
to
pry
into
the
infernall
Misteries
,
&
into
those
blacke
Acts
which
command
the
spirits
of
the
Déepe
,
and
hauing
sucked
what
knowledge
he
can
from
them
,
to
turn
it
all
into
poison
,
and
to
spit
it
in
the
very
faces
of
the
professors
,
with
a
malicious
intent
to
make
them
appeare
vgly
,
and
so
to
grow
hatefull
and
out
of
fauour
with
the
world
,
if
such
a
coniurer
at
midnight
should
dance
in
their
circles
,
and
not
be
driuen
out
of
them
,
Hell
in
a
few
yéers
would
not
be
worth
the
dwelling
in
.
The
great
Lord
of
Limbo
did
therefore
command
all
his
blacke
guard
that
stood
about
him
,
to
bestirre
them
in
their
places
,
and
to
defend
the
court
wherein
they
liued
:
threatning
(
besides
)
that
his
curse
,
and
all
the
plagues
of
stincking
Hell
should
Graucolentis
Auerni
.
fall
vpon
his
officers
,
seruants
,
and
subiects
,
vnlesse
they
either
aduiz'd
him
,
how
,
or
take
some
spéedie
order
themselues
to
punish
that
saucie
intelligencer
,
the
Bel-man
of
London
.
Thus
hée
spake
,
and
then
sat
downe
.
At
last
,
a
foolish
Diuell
rose
vp
,
and
shot
the
bolt
of
his
aduice
,
which
flew
thus
farre
:
That
the
Black-dogge
of
New-gate
should
againe
be
let
loose
,
and
a
farre
off
,
follow
the
Bauling
Bel-man
,
to
watch
into
what
places
hée
went
,
and
what
déedes
of
darkenesse
(
euerie
night
)
hée
did
.
Hinc
risus
!
The
whole
Synodicall
assembly
,
fell
a
laughing
at
this
Wise-acre
,
so
that
neither
he
,
nor
his
blacke
Dogge
durst
barke
any
more
.
Another
,
thinking
to
cleaue
the
very
pinne
with
his
arrow
,
drew
it
home
to
the
head
of
Wisdome
(
as
he
imagined
)
and
yet
that
lighted
wide
too
.
But
thus
shot
his
counsell
,
that
the
Ghosts
of
all
those
Théeues
,
Cheaters
,
and
others
of
that
damned
crew
,
(
who
by
the
Bel-mans
discouerie
,
had
béene
betraied
,
were
taken
and
sent
westward
)
should
be
fetched
from
those
fields
of
Horror
,
where
euery
night
they
walke
,
disputing
with
Doctor
Story
,
who
kéepes
them
company
there
in
his
corner
Cap
:
and
that
those
wry
neckt
spirits
should
haue
charge
giuen
them
to
haunt
the
Bel-man
in
his
walkes
,
and
so
fright
him
out
of
his
wits
.
The
Diuell
for
all
his
roaring
went
away
neither
with
a
Plaudite
,
nor
with
a
hisse
.
Others
stept
vp
,
some
pronouncing
one
verdict
,
some
another
:
But
at
the
last
,
it
being
put
into
their
Diulish
heads
,
that
they
had
no
power
ouer
him
further
then
what
should
be
giuen
vnto
them
,
it
was
concluded
and
set
downe
as
a
rule
in
Court
,
that
some
one
strange
Spirit
,
who
could
transport
himselfe
into
all
shapes
,
should
be
sent
vp
to
London
,
and
scorning
to
take
reuenge
vpon
so
meane
a
person
as
a
Bel-ringer
,
should
thrust
himselfe
into
such
companyes
(
as
in
a
warrant
to
be
signed
for
that
purpose
)
should
be
nominated
:
and
being
once
growne
familiar
with
them
,
hée
was
to
worke
and
win
them
by
all
possible
meanes
to
fight
vnder
the
dismall
and
blacke
colours
of
the
Grand
Sophy
(
his
Lord
and
Maister
)
the
fruit
that
was
to
grow
vpon
this
trée
of
euill
,
would
be
great
,
for
it
should
be
fit
to
be
serued
vp
to
Don
Lucifers
Table
,
as
a
new
banquetting
Dish
,
sithence
all
his
other
meates
,
(
though
they
fatted
him
well
)
were
growne
stale
.
Hereupon
Parmersiell
the
Messenger
was
called
,
a
Pasport
was
drawne
,
signed
,
and
deliuered
to
him
,
with
certaine
instructions
how
to
carry
himselfe
in
his
trauell
.
And
thus
much
was
openly
spoken
to
him
by
word
of
mouth
.

No

the

in

vanished
:

THe
Diuels
foote-man
was
very
nimble
of
his
héeles
(
for
no
wilde-Irish
man
could
out-runne
him
,
and
therefore
in
a
few
houres
,
was
hée
come
vp
to
London
:
the
miles
betwéene
Hell
and
any
place
vpon
earth
,
being
shorter
then
those
betwéene
London
and
Saint
Albones
,
to
any
man
that
trauels
from
hence
thither
,
or
to
any
Lacky
that
comes
from
thence
hether
,
on
the
Deuils
errands
:
but
to
any
other
poore
soule
,
that
dwells
in
those
low
countries
,
they
are
neuer
at
an
end
,
and
by
him
are
not
possible
to
be
measured
.
No
sooner
was
hée
entred
into
the
Citie
,
but
hée
met
with
one
of
his
Maisters
daughters
,
called
Pride
,
drest
like
a
Marchants
wife
,
who
taking
acquaintance
of
him
,
and
vnderstanding
for
what
he
came
,
tolde
him
,
that
the
first
thing
hée
was
to
doe

hée
must
put
himselfe
in
good

,
such
as
were
sutable
to
the
fashion
of
the
time
,
for
that
here
,
men
were
look'd
vpon
onely
for
their
out-sides
:
he
that
had
not
ten-pounds-worth
of
wares
in
his
shop
,
would
carry
twentie
markes
on
his
backe
:
that
there
were
a
number
of
sumpter-horses
in
the
citie
,
who
cared
Auser

not
how
coursely
they
fed
,
so
they
might
were
gay
trappings
:
yea
,
that
some
pied
fooles
,
to
put
on
satin
and
veluet
but
foure
daies
in
the
yeare
,
did
often-times
vndoe
themselues
,
wiues
and
Children
euer
after
.
The
spirit
of
the
Deuils
Buttery
hearing
this
,
made
a
legge
to
Pride
for
here
counsell
,
and
knowing
by
his
owne
experience
that
euerie
Taylor
hath
his
hell
to
himselfe
,
vnder
his
Shop-board
,
(
where
he
dammes
new
Sattin
)
amongst
them
hée
thought
to
finde
best
welcome
,
and
therefore
into
Burchin-lane
hée
stalkes
verie
mannerly
,
Pride
going
along
with
him
,
and
taking
the
vpper
hand
.
No
sooner
was
hée
entred
into
the
rankes
of
the
Linnen
Burchin-lane
described
.
Taylors
at
first
were
called
Linnen-Armorers
.
Serieants
.
Armorers
,
(
whose
weapons
are
Spanish
néedles
)
but
hée
was
most
terribly
and
sharpely
set
vpon
,
euerie
prentise
boy
had
a
pull
at
him
:
hee
feared
they
all
had
bin
Serieants
,
because
they
all
had
him
by
the
backe
:
neuer
was
poore
deuill
so
tormented
in
hell
,
as
he
was
amongst
them
:
he
thought
it
had
béene
Saint
Thomas
his
day
,
and
that
he
had
béene
called
vpon
to
be
Constable
,
there
was
such
bauling
in
his
eares
,
and
no
strength
could
shake
them
off
,
but
that
they
must
shew
him
some
suites
of
apparell
,
because
they
saw
what
Gentlewoman
was
in
his
company
(
whom
they
all
knew
,
)
Seeing
no
remedie
,
into
a
shop
hée
goes
,
was
fitted
brauely
,
and
beating
the
price
,
found
the
lowest
to
be
vnreasonable
,
yet
paide
it
,
and
departed
,
none
of
them
(
by
reason
of
their
crowding
about
him
before
)
perceiuing
what
customer
they
had
met
with
,
but
now
the
Taylor
spying
the
deuill
,
suffered
him
to
goe
,
neuer
praying
that
hée
wold
know
the
shop
another
time
,
but
looking
round
about
his
ware-house
if
nothing
were
missing
,
at
length
he
found
that
he
had
lost
his
conscience
:
yet
remembring
himselfe
,
that
they
who
deale
with
the
diuell
,
can
hardly
kéepe
it
,
he
stood
vpon
it
the
lesse
.
The
fashions
of
an
Ordinarie
.
THe
Stigian
traueller
being
thus
translated
into
an
accomplished
gallant
,
with
all
acoutrements
belonging
(
as
a
●ether
for
his
head
,
gilt
rapier
for
his
sides
,
&
new
boots
to
hide
his
polt
foote
,
for
in
Bed-lam
he
met
with
a
shoemaker
,
a
mad
slaue
,
that
knew
the
length
of
his
last
)
it
rested
,
onely
that
now
hée
was
to
enter
vpon
company
sutable
to
his
cloathes
:
and
knowing
that
your
most
selected
Gallants
are
the
onely-tablemen
that
are
plaid
with
all
at
Ordinaries
,
into
an
Ordinary
did
he
most
gentleman
like
,
conuay
himselfe
in
state
.
It
seemed
that
all
who
came
thether
,
had
clocks
in
their
bellies
,
for
they
all
strucke
into
the
dyning
roome
much
a-about
the
very
minute
of
féeding
.
Our
Caualier
had
all
the
eyes
(
that
came
in
)
throwne
vpon
him
,
(
as
being
a
stranger
:
for
no
Ambassador
from
the
diuell
euer
dined
amongst
them
before
,
)
and
he
asmuch
tooke
especiall
notice
of
them
.
In
obseruing
of
whom
and
of
the
place
,
he
found
,
that
an
Ordinary
was
the
onely
Randeuouz
for
the
most
ingenious
,
most
terse
,
most
trauaild
,
and
most
phantastick
gallant
:
the
very
Exchange
for
newes
out
of
all
countries
:
the
only
Booke-sellers
shop
for
conference
of
the
best
Editions
,
that
if
a
woman
(
to
be
a
Lady
)
would
cast
away
herselfe
vpon
a
Knight
,
there
a
man
should
heare
a
Catalogue
of
most
of
the
richest
London
widowes
:
&
last
,
that
it
was
a
schoole
where
they
were
all
fellowes
of
one
Forme
,
&
that
a
country
gentleman
was
of
as
great
comming
as
the
proudest
Iustice
that
sat
there
on
the
bench
aboue
him
:
for
hée
that
had
the
graine
of
the
table
with
his
trencher
,
payd
no
more
then
he
that
placed
himselfe
beneath
the
salt
.
The
diuels
intelligencer
could
not
be
contented
to
fill
his
eye
onely
with
these
obiects
,
and
to
féed
his
belly
with
delicate
chéere
:
but
hée
drew
a
larger
picture
of
all
that
were
there
,
and
in
these
collours
.
The
voider
hauing
cléered
the
table
,
Cardes
&
Dice
(
for
the
last
Messe
)
are
serued
vp
to
the
boord
:
they
that
are
full
of
coyne
draw
:
they
that
haue
little
,
stand
by
&
giue
ayme
:
they
shuffle
and
cut
on
one
side
:
the
bones
rattle
on
the
other
:
long
haue
they
not
plaide
,
but
oathes
fly
vp
&
downe
the
roome
like
haile-shot
:
if
the
poore
dumb
Dice
be
but
a
little
out
of
square
,
the
pox
&
a
thousand-plagues
breake
their
neckes
out
at
window
:
presently
after
,
the
foure
knaues
are
sent
packing
the
same
way
,
or
els
(
like
heretikes
)
are
condemned
to
be
burnt
.
In
this
battaile
of
Cardes
and
Dice
,
are
seuerall
Regiments
and
seuerall
Officers
.
They
that
sit
downe
to
play
,
are
at
first
cald
Leaders
.
They
that
loose
,
are
the
Forlorne
Hope
.
He
that
winnes
all
,
is
the
Eagle
.
He
that
stands
by
and
Ventures
,
is
the
Wood-pecker
.
The
fresh
Gallant
that
is
fetcht
in
,
is
The
Gul.
He
that
stands
by
,
and
lends
,
is
the
Gul-groper
.
The
Gul-groper
.
THis
Gul-groper
is
commonly
an
old
Mony-monger
,
who
hauing
trauaild
through
all
the
follyes
of
the
world
in
his
youth
,
knowes
them
well
,
and
shunnes
them
in
his
age
,
his
whole
felicitie
being
to
fill
his
bags
with
golde
and
siluer
:
hée
comes
to
an
Ordinary
,
to
saue
charges
of
house-kéeping
,
and
will
eate
for
his
two
shillings
,
more
meate
then
will
serue
thrée
of
the
guard
at
a
dinner
,
yet
sweares
hée
comes
thether
onely
for
the
company
,
and
to
conuerse
with
trauailers
.
It
is
a
Gold-Finch
that
sildome
flies
to
these
Ordinary
Nests
,
without
a
hundred
or
two
hundred
pound
in
twenty
shilling
péeces
about
him
.
After
the
tearing
of
some
seauen
paire
of
Cardes
,
or
the
damning
of
some
ten
baile
of
Dice
,
steps
hée
vpon
the
Stage
,
and
this
part
hée
playes
.
If
any
of
the
Forlorne
Hope
be
a
Gentleman
of
Meanes
,
either
in
Esse
,
or
in
Posse
,
(
and
that
the
olde
Foxe
will
be
sure
to
know
to
halfe
an
Acre
)
whose
money
runnes
at
a
low
ebbe
,
as
may
appeare
by
his
scratching
of
the
head
,
and
walking
vp
and
downe
the
roome
,
as
if
hée
wanted
an
Ostler
:
The
Gul-groper
takes
him
to
a
side
window
and
tels
him
,
hée
is
sorry
to
sée
his
hard
lucke
,
but
the
Dice
are
made
of
womens
bones
,
and
will
cozen
any
man
,
yet
for
his
fathers
sake
(
whom
hée
hath
knowne
so
long
)
if
it
please
him
,
he
shall
not
leaue
off
play
for
a
hundred
pound
or
two
.
If
my
yong
Estrich
gape
to
swallow
downe
this
mettall
(
as
for
the
most
part
they
are
very
gréedy
,
hauing
such
prouander
set
before
them
)
then
is
the
gold
powred
on
the
board
,
a
Bond
is
made
for
repaiment
,
at
the
next
quarter
day
,
when
Exhibition
is
sent
in
:
and
because
it
is
all
gold
,
and
cost
so
much
the
changing
,
the
Scriuener
(
who
is
a
whelpe
of
the
old
Mastiues
owne
bréeding
)
knows
what
words
will
bite
,
which
thus
he
fastens
vpon
him
,
and
in
this
Net
the
Gull
is
sure
to
be
taken
(
howsoeuer
:
)
for
if
hée
fall
to
play
againe
,
and
loose
,
the
hoary
Goat-bearded
Satyre
that
stands
at
his
elbow
,
laughes
in
his
sléeue
:
if
his
bags
be
so
recouered
of
their
Falling-sicknes
,
that
they
be
able
presently
to
repay
the
borrowed
gold
,
then
Monsieur
Gul-groper
steales
away
of
purpose
to
auoide
the
reccipt
of
it
;
hée
hath
fatter
Chickens
in
hatching
:
it
is
a
fayrer
marke
hée
shootes
at
.
For
the
day
being
come
when
the
bond
growes
due
,
the
within
named
Signior
Auaro
,
will
not
be
within
:
or
if
hée
be
at
home
,
hée
hath
wedges
enough
in
his
pate
,
to
cause
the
bond
to
be
broken
,
or
else
a
little
before
the
day
,
hée
féeds
my
young
Maister
with
such
swéete
words
,
that
surfetting
vpon
his
protestations
,
hée
neglects
his
paiment
,
as
presuming
hée
may
doe
more
But
the
Law
hauing
a
hand
in
the
forfeiture
of
the
bond
,
laies
presently
hold
of
our
yong
Gallant
with
the
helpe
of
a
couple
of
Serieants
,
and
iust
at
such
a
time
when
old
Erra
Pater
(
the
Iew
)
that
lent
him
the
money
,
knowes
by
his
owne
Prognostication
,
that
the
Moone
with
the
siluer
face
is
with
him
in
the
waine
.
Nothing
then
can
frée
him
out
of
the
phangs
of
those
bloud-hounds
,
but
he
must
presently
confesse
a
iudgement
,
for
so
much
money
,
or
for
such
a
Manor
or
Lordship
(
thrée
times
worth
the
bond
forfeited
)
to
be
paid
,
or
to
be
entred
vpon
by
him
,
by
such
a
day
,
or
within
so
many
moneths
after
he
comes
to
his
land
.
And
thus
are
young
heires
coozend
of
their
Acres
,
before
they
well
know
where
they
lye
.
The
Wood-pecker
.
THe
Wood-pecker
is
a
bird
that
sits
by
vpon
a
perch
too
:
but
is
nothing
so
dangerous
,
as
this
Vulture
spoken
of
before
.
He
deales
altogether
vpon
Returnes
,
(
as
men
doe
that
take
thrée
for
one
,
at
their
comming
back
from
Ierusalem
,
&c.
)
for
hauing
a
Iewell
,
a
Clock
,
a
ring
with
a
Diamond
,
or
any
such
like
commoditie
,
hée
notes
him
well
that
commonly
is
best
acquainted
with
the
Dice
,
and
hath
euer
good
lucke
:
to
him
he
offers
his
prize
,
rating
it
at
ten
or
fiftéene
pound
,
when
happily
it
is
not
worth
aboue
six
,
and
for
it
hée
bargaines
to
receiue
fiue
shillings
or
ten
shillings
(
according
as
it
is
in
value
)
at
euery
hand
,
second
third
,
or
fourth
hand
hée
drawes
:
by
which
means
he
perhaps
in
a
short
time
,
makes
that
yéeld
him
forty
or
fifty
pound
,
which
cost
not
halfe
twenty
.
Many

being

alwayes
to
make
sauing
Voiages
,
when

The

There

Fellowes
Proh

Of

And
indeed
〈…〉
earthy

whose
creation

Was
but
to
giue
a

Yet
these
(
shrowing

Being

cast

From

But
(

,
they
shew
still

CHAP.
VI.
THere
is
another
Fraternitie
of
wandring
Pilgrims
who
merrily
call
themselues
,
Iackes
of
the
Clocke-house
,
and
are
very
néere
allyed
to
the
Falconers
,
that
went
a
Hawking
before
.
The
Clarke
of
Erebus
set
downe
their
names
too
in
his
Tables
,
with
certaine
bréefe
notes
of
their
practises
:
and
these
they
are
.
The
Iacke
of
a
Clocke-house
goes
vpon
Screws
,
and
his
office
is
to
doe
nothing
but
strike
:
so
does
this
noise
,
(
for
they
walke
vp
and
downe
like
Fidlers
)
trauaile
with
Motions
,
and
whatsoeuer
their
Motions
get
them
,
is
called
striking
.
Those
Motions
are
certaine
Collections
,
or
wittie
Inuentions
,
some-times
of
one
thing
,
and
then
of
an
other
(
there
is
a
new
one
now
in
towne
,
in
praise
of
the
Vnion
.
)
And
these
are
fairely
written
and
engrossed
in
Vellum
,
Parchement
,
or
Royall
paper
,
richly
adorned
with
compartiments
,
and
set
out
with
letters
both
in
gold
,
and
in
various
coulours
.
This
labour
being
taken
,
the
Maister
of
the
Motion
hearkens
where
such
a
Nobleman
,
such
a
Lord
,
or
such
a
Knight
lyes
,
that
is
liberall
:
hauing
found
one
to
his
liking
,
The
Motion
(
with
his
Patrons
name
fairely
texted
out
,
in
manner
of
a
Dedication
,
)
is
presented
before
him
:
hée
receiues
it
,
and
thinking
it
to
be
a
worke
onely
vnder-taken
for
his
sake
,
is
bounteous
to
the
giuer
,
estéeming
him
a
Scholler
,
and
knowing
that
not
without
great
trauaile
,
hée
hath
drawne
so
many
little
stragling
streames
into
so
faire
and
smoothe
a
Riuer
:
whereas
the
Worke
is
the
labour
of
some
other
(
copied
out
by
stealth
)
by
an
impudent
ignorant
fellow
,
that
runnes
vp
and
downe
with
the
Transcripts
,
and
euery
Ale-house
may
haue
one
of
them
(
hanging
in
the
basest
drinking
roome
)
if
they
will
be
but
at
the
charges
of
writing
it
out
.
Thus
the
liberallitie
of
a
Nobleman
,
or
of
a
Gentleman
is
abused
:
thus
learning
is
brought
into
scorne
and
contempt
:
Thus
men
are
cheated
of
their
bountie
,
giuing
much
for
that
(
out
of
their
frée
mindes
)
which
is
common
abroad
,
and
put
away
for
base
prices
.
Thus
villanie
some-times
walkes
alone
,
as
if
it
were
giuen
to
Melancholy
,
and
some-times
knaues
tie
themselues
in
a
knot
,
because
they
may
be
more
merry
,
as
by
a
mad
sort
of
Comrades
whom
I
sée
leaping
into
the
Saddle
,
anon
it

apeare

THere
is
a
troope
of
Horsemen
,
that
runne
vp
and
downe
the
whole
kingdome
,
they
are
euer
in
a
gallop
,
their
businesse
is
weightie
,
their
iournyes
many
,
their
expences
great
,
their
Innes
euerie

,
their

no

:
they
haue
onely
a
certaine
Frée-holde
called
Tyborne
,
(
scituate
néere
London
,
and
many
a
faire
paire
of
Gallowes
in
other
Countries
besides
,
)
vpon
which
they
liue
verie
poorely
,
till
they
dye
,
and
dye
for
the
most
part
wickedly
,
because
their
liues
are
villanous
and
desperate
.
But
what
race
so
euer
they
runne
,
their
they
end
it
,
there
they
set
vp
their
rest
,
there
is
their

whether
soeuer
their

And
these
horsmen
haue
no
other

but
rancke
Riders
.
To
furnish
whem
foorth
for
any
iourney
,
they
must
haue
Riding
sutes
cut
out
of
these
foure
péeces
.
-
1
The
Inne-kéeper
or
Hackney-man
,
of
whom
they
haue
horses
,
is
called
,
A
Colt
.
-
2
He
that
neuer
alights
off
a
rich
Farmer
or
country
Gentleman
,
till
he
haue
drawne
mony
from
him
,
is
called
,
The
Snaffle
.
-
3
The
money
so
gotten
,
is
The
Ring
.
-
4
He
that
féedes
them
with
mony
is
called
,
The
prouander
.
These
Ranck-riders
(
like
Butchers
to
Rumford
market
)
sildome
goe
vnder
sixe
or
seauen
in
a
company
,
and
these
Caréeres
they
fetch
.
Their
pursses
being
warmely
lined
with
some
purchase
gotten
before
,
and
they
themselues
well
booted
and
spur'd
,
and
in
reasonable
good
outsides
,
arriue
at
the
fairest
Inne
they
can
choose
,
either
in
Westminster
,
the
Strand
,
the
Citie
,
or
the
Suburbes
.
Two
of
them
who
haue
cloathes
of
purpose
to
fit
the
play
,
carrying
the
shew
of
Gentlemen
,
the
other
act
their
partes
in
blew
coates
,
as
they
were
their
Seruingmen
,
though
indéede
they
be
all
fellowes
.
They
enter
all
durted
The
manner
of
Brideling
a
Colt
.
or
dustied
(
according
as
it
shall
please
the
high
way
to
vse
them
)
and
the
first
bridle
they
put
into
the
Colts
mouth
(
that
is
to
say
,
the
Inkéepers
)
is
at
their
comming
in
to
aske
alowde
if
the
footeman
be
gone
backe
with
the
horses
?
t
is
answered
yes
.
Héere
,
the
Ranck-riders
lye
thrée
or
foure
daies
,
spending
moderately
enough
,
yet
abating
not
a
penny
of
any
reckoning
,
to
shew
of
what
house
they
come
:
in
which
space
their
counterfeit
followers
learne
what
country-man
the
maister
of
the
house
is
,
where
the
Hostlars
and
Chamberlaines
were
borne
,
and
what
other
countrie
Gentlemen
are
guests
to
the
Inne
:
which
lessons
being
presently
gotten
by
heart
,
they
fall
in
study
with
the
generall
rules
of
their
knauerie
:
and
those
are
,
first
to
giue
out
,
that
their
Maister
is
a
Gentleman
of
such
and
such
meanes
,
in
such
a
shire
(
which
shall
be
sure
to
stand
farre
enough
from
those
places
where
any
of
the
house
,
or
of
other
guests
were
borne
,
)
that
hée
is
come
to
receiue
so
many
hundred
poundes
vpon
land
which
hée
hath
solde
,
and
that
hée
meanes
to
Inne
there
some
quarter
of
a
yeare
at
least
.
This
Brasse
money
passing
for
currant
through
the
house
,
hée
is
more
obserued
and
better
attended
,
is
worshipped
at
euerie
word
:
and
the
easier
to
breake
and
bridle
the
Colt
,
his
Worship
will
not
sit
downe
to
Dinner
or
supper
,
till
the
Maister
of
the
house
be
placed
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
boord
by
him
.
In
the
middle
of
Supper
,
or
else
verie
earely
in
the
following
morning
,
comes
in
a
counterfeit
footeman
,
sweatingly
deliuering
a
message
,
that
such
a
Knight
hath
sent
for
the
head-Maister
of
these
Rancke-ryders
,
and
that
hée
must
be
with
him
by
such
an
houre
,
the
iourney
being
not
aboue
twelue
or
fouretéene
miles
.
Vpon
deliuerie
of
this
message
,
(
from
so
déere
and
noble
a
friend
)
hée
sweares
and
chafes
,
because
all
his
horses
are
out
of
Towne
,
curseth
the
sending
of
them
backe
,
offers
any
mony
to
haue
himselfe
,
his
couzen
with
him
,
and
his
men
but
reasonably
horst
.
Mine
host
being
a
credulous
Asse
,
suffers
them
all
to
get
vp
vpon
him
,
for
hée
prouides
them
horses
,
either
of
his
owne
(
thinking
his
Guest
to
be
a
man
of
great
accompt
,
and
being
loath
to
loose
him
,
because
hée
spends
well
)
or
else
sendes
out
to
hire
them
of
his
neighbours
,
passing
his
word
for
their
forth-comming
within
a
day
or
two
,
Vp
they
get
and
away
Gallop
our
Ranck-riders
,
as
far
as
the
poore
Iades
can
carry
them
.
The
two
daies
being
ambled
out
of
the
world
,
and
perhaps
thrée
more
after
them
,
yet
neither
a
supply
of
Horse-men
or
Foote-men
,
(
as
was
promised
)
to
be
set
eye
vpon
.
The
lamentable
In-kéeper
(
or
Hackney
man
,
if
hée
chance
to
be
Sadled
for
this
iourney
too
)
loose
their
Colts
téeth
,
and
finde
that
they
are
made
olde
arrant
Iades
:
Search
,
then
runnes
vp
and
downe
,
like
a
Constable
halfe
out
of
his
wittes
(
vpon
a
Shroue-tuesday
)
and
hue
and
cry
followes
after
,
some
twelue
or
fouretéene
miles
off
,
(
round
about
London
)
which
was
the
farthest
of
their
iourney
as
they
gaue
out
.
But
(
alas
!
)
the
horses
are
at
pasture
fourescore
or
a
hundred
miles
from
their
olde
mangers
:
they
were
sould
at
some
blinde
drunken
théeuish
faire
,
(
there
being
enow
of
them
in
company
to
saue
themselues
,
by
their
Toll-booke
,
)
the
Seruing-men
cast
off
their
blew-coates
,
and
cried
,
All
fellowes
:
the
money
is
spent
vpon
wine
,
vpon
whores
,
vpon
fidlers
,
vpon
fooles
,
(
by
whom
they
wil
loose
nothing
)
and
the
tyde
being
at
an
ebbe
,
they
are
as
ready
to
practise
their
skill
in
horse-manship
to
bring
Coltes
to
the
saddle
in
that
Towne
,
and
to
make
Nags
run
a
race
of
thrée-score
or
a
hundred
miles
of
from
that
place
,
as
before
they
did
from
London
.
Running
at
the
Ring
.
THus
,
so
long
as
Horseflesh
can
make
them
fat
,
they
neuer
leaue
féeding
.
But
when
they
haue
beaten
so
many
high-waies
in
seuerall
countries
,
that
they
feare
to
be
ouer-taken
by
Tracers
,
then
(
like
Soldiers
comming
from
a
Breach
)
they
march
faire
&
softly
on
foote
,
lying
in
garrison
,
as
it
were
,
close
in
some
out
townes
,
till
the
foule
Rumor
of
their
Villanies
(
like
a
stormy
durty
winter
)
be
blown
ouer
:
In
which
time
of
lurking
in
the
shel
,
they
are
not
idle
neither
,
but
like
snailes
,
they
venture
abroad
tho
the
law
hath
threatned
to
rain
down
neuer
so
much
punishment
vpon
them
:
&
what
doe
they
?
they
are
not
bées
,
to
liue
by
their
owne
painfull
labors
,
but
Drones
that
must
eate
vp
the
swéetnesse
,
and
be
fedde
wilh
the
earnings
of
others
:
This
therefore
is
their
worke
.
They
carelesly
inquire
what
gentleman
of
worth
,
or
what
rich
Farmers
dwell
within
fiue
,
six
or
seauen
miles
of
the
Fort
where
they
are
insconc'd
(
which
they
may
doe
without
suspition
)
and
hauing
got
their
names
,
they
single
out
themselues
in
a
morning
,
and
each
man
takes
a
seuerall
path
to
himselfe
:
one
goes
East
,
one
West
,
one
North
,
and
the
other
South
:
walking
either
in
bootes
with
wandes
in
their
handes
,
or
otherwise
,
for
it
is
all
to
one
purpose
.
And
note
this
by
the
way
,
that
when
they
trauell
thus
one
foot
,
they
are
no
more
called
Ranck-riders
but
Ttrowlers
,
a
proper
name
giuen
to
Country
plaiers
,
that
(
without
Sockes
)
trot
from
towne
to
towne
vpon
the
bare
hoofe
.
Being
ariued
at
the
Gate
where
the
Gentlemen
,
or
Farmer
dwelleth
,
he
boldly
knockes
,
inquiring
for
him
by
name
,
and
steppes
into
speake
with
him
:
the
seruant
séeing
a
fashionable
person
,
tells
his
Maister
there
is
a
Gentleman
desires
to
speake
with
him
:
the
maister
coms
and
salutes
him
,
but
eying
him
well
,
saies
he
does
not
know
him
:
No
Sir
,
replies
the
other
(
with
a
face
bolde
ynough
)
it
may
be
so
,
but
I
pray
you
Sir
,
will
you
walke
a
turne
or
two
in
your
Orchard
or
Garden
,
I
would
there
conferre
:
Hauing
got
him
thether
,
to
this
tune
he
plaies
vpon
him
.
How
the
snaffle
is
put
on
.
SIr
,
I
am
a
Gentleman
,
borne
to
better
meanes
then
my
present
fortunes
doe
allow
me
:
I
serued
in
the
field
,
and
had
commaunde
there
,
But
long
peace
(
you
know
Sir
)
is
the
Cancker
that
eates
vp
Souldiers
,
and
so
it
hath
mée
.
I
lie
héere
not
far
off
,
in
the
Country
,
at
mine
Inne
,
where
staying
vpon
the
dispatch
of
some
businesse
,
I
am
indebted
to
the
house
in
monies
,
so
that
I
cannot
with
the
credit
of
a
Gentleman
leaue
the
house
till
I
haue
paide
them
.
Make
mée
sir
so
much
beholden
to
your
loue
as
to
lend
mée
fortye
or
fiftie
shillings
to
beare
my
horse
and
my selfe
to
London
,
from
whence
within
a
day
or
two
,
I
shall
send
you
many
thankes
,
with
a
faithfull
repayment
of
your
curtesie
.
The
honest
Gentleman
,
or
the
good
natur'd
Farmer
beholding
a
personable
man
,
fashionably
attired
,
and
not
carrying
in
outward
coullors
,
the
face
of
a
cogging-knaue
,
giues
credit
to
his
words
,
are
sorry
that
they
are
not
at
this
present
time
so
well
furnished
as
they
could
wish
,
but
if
a
matter
of
twentie
shillings
can
stead
him
,
he
shall
commaund
it
,
because
it

all

they

from

nay
these
Mountibanekes

so
base
,
that
they
are
not
ashamed
to
take
two
shillings
of
a
plaine

,

sometimes
sixe

(
which
the

giues
simply

In

CHAP.
VIII

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

strong
,
yet
they
neuer
march
with
all
their
bagges
and
baggages
together
,
but
(
like
boot-halers
)
they
forrage
vp
and
downe
countries
,
45.
or
6.
in
a
company
.
As
the
swizer
has
his
wench
and
his
Cocke
with
him
when
he
goes
to
the
warres
,
so
these
vagabonds
haue
their
harlots
with
a
number
of
little
children
following
at
their
héeles
:
which
young
brood
of
Beggers
,
are
sometimes
caried
(
like
so
many
gréene
géese
aliue
to
a
market
)
in
payres
of
pameres
,
or
in
dosters
like
fresh-fish
from
Kye
that
comes
on
horsebacke
,
(
if
they
be
but
infants
.
)
But
if
they
can
stradle
once
,
then
aswell
the
shée
roagues
as
the
héeroagues
are
horst
,
seauen
or
eight
vpon
one
iade
,
strongly
pineond
,
and
strangely
tyed
together
.
One
Shire
alone
&
no
more
is
sure
stil
at
one
time
,
to
haue
these
Egiptian-tice
swarming
within
it
,
for
like
flockes
of
wild
géese
,
they
will
euermore
fly
one
after
another
:
let
them
be
scattred
worse
then
the
quarters
of
a
traitor
are
after
hée
s
hang'd
drawne
and
quartred
,
yet
they
haue
a
tricke
(
like
water
cut
with
a
sword
)
to
come
together
instantly
and
easily
againe
:
and
this
is
their
pollicy
,
which
way
soeuer
the
formostranckes
lead
,
they
sticke
vp
small
boughes
in
seuerall
places
,
to
euery
village
where
they
passe
,
which
serue
as
ensignes
to
waft
on
the
rest
.
Their
apparell
is
old
,
and
phantasticke
,
tho
it
be
neuer
so
full
of
rents
:
the
men
weare
scarfes
of
Callico
,
or
any
other
base
stuffe
,
hanging
their
bodies
like
Morris-dancers
,
His

with
bels
,
&
other
toyes
,
to
intice
the
countrey
people
to
flocke
about
them
,
and
to
wounder
at
their
fooleries
,
or
rather
rancke-knaueryes
.
The
women
as
ridiculously

them-selues
,
and
(
like

vppermost

The

Whosoeuer

neuer

and
so
cruell
they
are
in
these
murders
,
that
nothing
can
satisfie
them
but
the

heart
bloud
of
those
whom
they
kill

And
who

(
thinke

that
thus
goe

Alasse

Innocent

The

who
carrying
long

play

The

Vpon

casting

they
inclose
the

If

demaund
what

they

:
one
of

steps
to

poysons
him
with
swéete
wordes
and
shifts
him
off
,
with
this
lye
,
that
one
of

:
but
if

to
fée
what

then
they
excuse
the

,
lay
the

on

a
perhaps
(
it

deliuer
them

But
by
the

a

is
surely
laid

very

(

doe
they

(
which

And

his

of

,
the
very
siluerlookes
pale
,
because
it
was

by

.
How
happy
therefore
were
Cities
if
they
had
no
Suburbes
,
sithence
they
serue
but
as
caues
,
where
monsters
are

Would

there

One

A

he

A

that
would
turne
his

Hée
is
there
too
:
A
harlot
that
would
murder
her
new

Infant
?
She
lies
in
there
.
What
a
wretched
wombe
hath
a
strumpet
,
which
being
(
for
the
most
part
)
barren
of
Children
,
is

one
stalke

these
mischiefes
.
Shee
is
the
Cockatrice
that
hatcheth
all
these
egges
of
euills
.
When
the
diuell
takes
the
Anatomy
of
all
damnable
sinnes
,
he
lookes
onely
vpon
her
body
.
When
she
dies
,
he
sits
as
her
Coroner
.
When
her
soule
comes
to
hell
,
all
shunne
that
there
,
as
they
flie
from
a
body
strucke
with
the

here
shee
hath
her
dore-keeper
,
and
she
her selfe
is
the
Diuells
chamber-maide
.
And
yet
for
all
this
,
that
shée
's
so
dangerous
and
detestable
,
when
she
hath
croak'd
like
a
Rauen
on
the
Eues
,
then
comes
she
into
the
house
like
a
Doue
.
When
her
villaines
(
like
the
mote
about
a
castle
)
are
rancke
,
thicke
,
and
muddy
,
with
standing
long
together
,
then
(
to
purge
herselfe
)
is
shee
dreind
out
of
the
Suburbes
(
as
though
her
corruption
were
there
left
behind
her
)
and
(
as
a
cléere
streame
)
is
let
into
the
Citie
.
What
armor
a
harlot
weares
comming
out
of
the
Suburbes
to
besiege
the
Citie
within
the
wals
.
VPon
what
perch
then
does
she
sit
?
what
part
plaies
she
then
?
onely
the
Puritane
.
If
before
she
ruffled
in
filkes
,
now
is
she
more
ciuilly
attired
then
a
Mid
wife
.
If
before
she
swaggred
in
Tauernes
,
now
with
the
Snaile
she
stirreth
not
out
of
dores
.
And
where
must
her
lodging
be
taken
vp
,
but
in
the
house
of
some
cittizen
,
whose
known
reputation
,
she
borrowes
(
or
rather
steales
)
putting
it
on
as
a
cloake
to
couer
her
deformities
.
Yet
euen
in
that
,
hath
she
an
art
too
,
for
he
shal
be
of
such
a
profession
,
that
all
commers
may
enter
,
without
the
danger
of
any
eyes
to
watch
them
.
As
for
example
,
she
wil
lie
at
some
Scriueners
house
,
and
so
vnder
the
collour
of
comming
to
haue
a
Bond
made
,
she
herselfe
may
write
Nouerint
vniuersi
.
And
tho
the
law
threaten
to
hit
her
neuer
so
often
,
yet
hath
she
subtile
defences
to
ward
off
the
blowes
.
For
,
if
Gallants
haunt
the
house
,
then
spreds
shée
these
collours
:
she
is
a
captaine
or
a
lieutenants
wife
in
the
Low-countries
,
&
they
come
with
letters
,
from
the
souldier
her
husband
.
If
Marchants
resort
to
her
,
then
hoistes
shée
vp
these
sayles
,
she
is
wife
to
the
Maister
of
a
shippe
,
&
they
bring
newes
that
her
husband
put
in
at
the
Straytes
,
or
at
Venice
,
at
Aleppo
,
Alexandria
,
or
Scanderoon
,
&c.
If
shop-keepers
come
to
her
,
with
what
doe
you
lacke
,
in
their
mouthes
,
then
she
takes
vp
such
and
such
commodities
,
to
send
them
to
Rye
,
to
Bristow
,
to
Yorke
,
&c.
where
her

dwells
.
But
if

and

then

CHAP.
X.
AT
the
end
of
fierce
battailes
,
the
onely
Rendeuouz
for
lame
souldiers
to
retire
vnto
,
is
an
Hospitall
:
and
at
the
end
of
a
long
Progresse
,
the
onely
ground
for
a
tyred
Iade
to
runne
in
,
is
some
blind
country
faire
,
where
hée
may
be
sure
to
be
sold
.
To
these
Markets
of
vnwholesome
Horse-flesh
,
(
like
so
many
Kites
to
f●ede
vpon
Carion
)
doe
all
the
Horse-coursers
(
that
roost
about
the
Citie
)
flye
one
after
another
.
And
whereas
in
buying
all
other
commodities
,
men
striue
to
haue
the
best
,
how
great
so
euer
the
price
be
,
onely
the
Horsecouser
is
of
a
baser
minde
,
for
the
worst
Horse-flesh
(
so
it
be
cheape
)
does
best
goe
downe
with
him
.
Hée
cares
for
nothing
but
a
fayre
out-side
,
and
a
hansome
shape
(
like
those
that
hyre
whores
,
)
though
there
be
an
hundred
diseases
within
:
he
(
as
the
other
)
ventures
vpon
them
all
.
The
first
lesson
therefore
that
a
Horse-courser
takes
out
,
when
he
comes
to
one
of
these
Markets
,
is
to
make
choyce
of
such
Nags
,
Geldings
,
or
Mares
,
especially
,
as
are
fat
,
fayre
,
and
well-fauor'd
to
the
eye
:
and
because
men
delight
to
behold
beautifull
colours
,
and
thath
some
colours
are
more
delicate
(
euen
in
beasts
)
then
others
are
,
hée
will
so
néere
as
hée
can
,
bargaine
for
those
horses
that
haue
the
daintiest
complexion
:
as
the
Milke-white
,
the
Gray
,
the
Dapple-Gray
,
the
Cole
blacke
with
his
proper
markes
(
as
the
white
starre
in
the
fore-head
,
the
white
héele
,
&c.
)
or
the
bright
Bay
,
with
the
like
proper
●●arkes
also
.
And
the
goodlier
proportion
the
beast
carries
or
the
fayrer
markes
or
colour
that
hée
●eares
,
are
or
●●ght
to
be
watch-words
as
it
were
to
him
that
after●ards
buyes
him
of
the
horse
courser
,
that
hée
be
not
coozend
with
an
ouer-price
for
a
had
peny-worth
,
because
such
Horses
(
belonging
for
the
most
part
to
Gentlemen
)
are
seldome
or
neuer
solde
away
,
but
vpon
some
fowle
quality
,
or
some
incurable
disease
,
which
the
Beast
is
falne
into
.
The
Best
colours
are
therefore
the
best
Cloakes
to
hide
those
fa●●ts
that
most
disfigure
a
Horse
:
and
next
vnto
colour
,
his
Pace
doth
often-times
deceiue
and
goe
beyond
a
very
quicke
Iudgement
.
Some
of
these
Horse-hunters
,
are
as
nimble
Knaues
in
finding
out
the
infirmities
of
a
Iade
,
as
a
Barber
is
in
drawing
of
téeth
:
and
albeit
(
without
casting
his
water
)
hée
does
more
readily
reckon
vp
all
the
Aches
,
Crampes
,
Crickes
,
and
whatsoeuer
disease
else
lyes
in
his
bones
:
and
for
those
diseases
seemes
vtterly
to
dislike
him
,
yet
if
by
looking
vpon
the
Dyall
within
his
mouth
,
he
finde
that
his
yeeres
haue
struck
but
fiue
,
sixe
,
or
seuen
:
and
that
he
prooues
but
young
,
or
that
his
diseases
are
but
newly
growing
vpon
him
,
if
they
be
outward
,
or
haue
but
hayre
and
skin
to
hide
them
,
if
they
be
inward
,
let
him
sweare
neuer
so
damnably
,
that
it
is
but
a
Iade
,
yet
he
will
be
sure
to
fasten
vpon
him
.
So
then
,
a
Horse-courser
to
the
Merchant
,
(
that
out
of
his
sound
iudgement
buyes
the
fairest
,
the
best
bred
,
and
the
noblest
Horses
,
selling
them
againe
for
bréede
or
seruice
,
with
plainnesse
and
honesty
,
)
is
as
the
Cheator
to
the
faire
Gamester
:
hée
is
indéed
a
meere
Iadish
Nonopolitane
,
and
deales
for
none
but
tyred
,
tainted
,
dull
and
diseased
horses
.
By
which
meanes
,
if
his
picture
The
picture
of
a
Horse-courser
.
be
drawne
to
the
life
,
you
shall
finde
euery
Horse-courser
for
the
most
part
to
be
in
quality
a
coozener
,
by
profession
a
knau
,
by
his
cunning
a
Varlet
,
in
fayres
a
Hagling
Chapman
,
in
the
Citie
a
Cogging
dissembler
,
and
in
Smith-field
a
common
forsworne
Villaine
.
Hée
will
sweare
any
thing
,
but
the
faster
hée
sweares
,
the
more
danger
t
is
to
beleeue
him
:
In
one
forenoone
,
and
in
seiling
a
Iade
not
worth
fiue
Nobles
,
will
hée
forsweare
himselfe
fiftéene
times
,
and
that
forswearing
too
shall
be
by
Equiuocation
.
As
●ée
example
,
if
an
ignorant
Chap-man
comming
to
beatethe
price
,
say
to
the
Horse-courser
your
nagge
is
verie
old
,
or
thus
many
yéeres
old
,
and
reckon
ten
or
twelue
:
hée
claps
his
hand
presently
on
the
buttocke
of
the
beast
,
and
prayes
he
may
be
damb's
if
the
Horse
be
not
vnder
fiue
,
meaning
that
the
horse
is
not
vnder
fiue
yeeres
of
age
,
but
that
hée
standes
vnder
fiue
of
his
fingers
,
when
his
hand
is
clap'd
vpon
him
.
These
Horse-coursers
are
called
Iynglers
,
and
these
Iynglers
hauing

out

on
a
company
of
Iades

at

and
vpon

But

their

THe

,

so
that
when
such
a
foule-nosed
Iade
happens
How
a
Horse-courser
may
coozen
his
chap-man
with
a
horse
that
hath
the
Glanders
.
to
serue
a
Horse-courser
,
hée
hath
more
strange
pil●
(
then
a
Pothecarie
makes
)
for
the
purging
of
his
head
,
he
knows
that
a
horse
with
such
a
qualitie
,
is
but
a
beastly
companion
to
trauell
vpon
the
high
way
with
any
Gentleman
.
Albeit
therefore
that
the
Glanders
haue
played
with
his
Nose
so
long
,
that
hée
knowes
not
how
to
mend
him-selfe
,
but
that
disease
being
suffered
to
runne
vpon
him
many
yeeres
together
is
growne
inumcible
,
yet
hath
our
Ingling
Mountihancke
Smith-field-rider
,
a
trick
to
cure
him
,
fiue
or
sixe
waies
:
and
this
is
one
of
them
.
In
the
very
morning
when
hée
is
to
be
rifled
away
amongst
the
Gamsters
in
Smithfield
,
before
hée
thrust
his
head
out
of
his
Maisters
Stable
,
the
Horse
courser
tickles
his
nose
(
not
with
a
Pipe
of
Tobacco
)
but
with
a
good
quantitie
of
the
best
Néesing
powder
that
can
be
gotten
:
which
with
a
quil
being
blown
vp
into
the
Nostrills
,
to
make
it
worke
the
better
,
he
stands
poaking
there
vp
and
downe
with
two
long
feathers
plucked
from
the
wing
of
a
Goose
,
they
being
dipt
in
the
iuyce
of
Garlicke
,
or
in
any
strong
oyle
,
and
thrust
vp
to
the
verie
top
of
his
head
,
so
farre
as
possibly
they
can
reach
,
to
make
the
pore
dumbe
beast
auoide
the
filth
from
his
nostrils
,
which
hée
will
doe
in
great
aboundance
:
this
being
done
,
hée
comes
to
him
with
a
new
medicine
for
a
sicke
horse
,
and
mingling
the
iuyce
of
Bruzed
Garlike
,
sharpe
biting
Mustard
,
and
strong
Ale
together
,
into
both
the
Nostrils
(
with
a
Horne
)
is
powred
a
good
quantitie
of
this
filthy
Broth
,
which
by
the
hand
being
held
in
by
stopping
the
nostrils
close
together
,
at
length
with
a
little
néezzing
more
,
his
nose
will
be
cleaner
then
his
Maisters
the
Horse-courser
,
and
the
filth
be
so
Artificially
stop'd
that
for
eight
or
ten
houres
a
Iade
will
holde
vp
his
head
with
the
prowdest
Gelding
that
gallops
scornefully
by
him
,
and
neuer
haue
néed
of
wiping
.
This
is
one
of
the
Comedies
a
Common
horse-courser
playes
by
himselfe
at
home
,
but
if
when
hée
comes
to
act
the
second
part
abroad
,
you
would
disgrace
him
,
and
haue
him
hissed
at
for
not
playing
the
Knaue
well
,
then
handle
him
thus
:
If
you
suspect
that
the
Nagge
which
hee
would
Iade
you
with
,
be
troubled
with
that
or
any
other
such
like
disease
,
gripe
him
hard
about
the
wesand
pipe
,
close
toward
the
roofe
of
the
tongue
,
and
holding
him
there
so
long
and
so
forcibly
,
that
hée
cough
twice
or
thrice
,
if
then
(
after
you
let
goe
your
hold
)
his
chappes
begin
to
walke
as
if
hée
were
chewing
downe
a
Horseleafe
,
shake
hands
with
old
Mounsier
Cauiliero
Horse-Courser
,
but
clap
no
bargain
vpon
it
,
for
his
Iade
is
as
full
of
infirmitie
,
as
the
Maister
Villanie
.
Other
Gambals
that
Horse-coursers
practise
vpon
Foundred
Horses
,
old
Lades
,
&c.
SMithfield
is
the
Stage
vpon
which
the
Mountibanke
English
Horse-courser
aduancing
his
banner
,
defies
any
disease
that
dares
touch
his
Prancer
:
Insomuch
that
if
a
horse
be
so
olde
,
as
that
foure
legs
can
but
carry
him
,
yet
shall
he
beare
the
markes
of
an
Nag
not
aboue
sixe
or
seauen
yeeres
of
age
:
and
that
counterfeit
badge
of
youth
,
hée
weares
thus
:
The
Horse-courser
with
a
small
round
yron
made
very
hot
,
burnes
two
blacke
hoses
in
the
top
of
the
two
out-most
téeth
of
each
side
the
out-side
of
the
Horse
mouth
vpon
the
nether
téeth
,
and
so
likewise
of
the
téeth
of
the
vpper
chap
,
which
stand
opposit
to
the
nether
,
the
qualitie
of
which
markes
is
to
shew
that
a
horse
is
but
yong
:
but
if
the
iade
be
so
old
that
those
téeth
are
dropt
out
of
his
head
,
then
is
there
a
tricke
still
to
be
fumbling
about
his
old
chaps
,
and
in
that
strooking
his
chin
,
to
pricke
his
lips
closely
with
a
pin
or
a
naile
,
till
they
be
so
tender
,
that
albeit
be
were
a
giuen
horse
none
could
be
suffered
to
looke
him
in
the
mouth
(
which
is
one
of
the
best
Calender
to
tell
his
age
)
but
a
reasonable
sighted
eye
(
without
helpe
of
spectacles
)
may
easily
discouer
this
Iugling
,
because
it
is
grosse
and
common
.
If
now
a
Horse
(
hauing
béene
a
sore
Trauailer
)
happen
by
falling
into
a
cold
sweate
to
be
Foundred
,
so
that
(
as
if
hée
were
druncke
or
had
the
staggers
)
he
can
scarce
stand
on
his
legges
,
then
will
his
maister
,
before
hée
enter
into
the
lists
of
the
field
against
all
commers
,
put
him
into
a
villanous
chasing
by
ryding
him
vp
and
downe
a
quarter
,
or
halfe
an
houre
,
till
his
limbes
be
thoroughly
heated
,
and
this
hée
does
,
because
so
long
as
hée
can
discharge
that
false
fire
,
or
that
(
being
so
collerickly
hatte
)
hée
tramples
onely
vpon
soft
ground
,
a
very
cunning
Horseman
shall
hardly
finde
where
his
shooe
wrings
him
,
or
that
hée
is
Fowndred
.
And
(
to
blinde
the
eyes
of
the
Chapman
)
the
Horse-courser
will
be
euer
tickling
of
him
with
his
wand
,
because
hée
may
not
by
standing
still
like
an
Asse
,
shew
of
what
house
he
comes
.
If
a
Horse
come
into
the
fielde
(
like
a
lame
soldier
)
Halting
,
hée
has
not
Crutches
made
for
him
,
as
the
soldier
hath
,
but
because
you
shall
thinke
the
Horses
shooemaker
hath
serued
him
like
a
Iade
,
by
not
fitting
his
foote
well
,
the
shooe
shall
be
taken
off
purposely
from
that
foote
which
halts
,
as
though
it
had
béene
lost
by
chance
:
And
to
proue
this
,
witnesses
shall
come
in
,
if
at
least
twenty
or
thirty
damnable
oathes
can
be
taken
,
that
the
want
of
the
Shooe
is
onely
the
cause
of
his
Halting
.
But
if
a
Horse
cannot
be
lustie
at
legges
,
by
reason
that
either
his
hoofes
be
not
good
,
or
that
there
be
Splents
,
or
any
other
Eye-sore
about
the
nether
Ioynt
,
the
Horse-courser
vses
him
then
as
Cheating
Swaggerers
handle
Nouices
,
what
they
cannot
winne
by
the
Dyce
,
they
will
haue
by
Foule-play
:
and
in
that
foule
manner
,
deales
hée
with
the
poore
horse
,
ryding
him
vp
and
downe
in
the
thickest
and
the
durtiest
places
,
till
that
durt
,
like
a
ruffled
boote
drawne
vpon
an
ill-fauour'd
gowtie
legge
,
couer
the
Iades
infirmitie
from
the
eye
of
the
Buyer
.
How
a
Horse-courser
makes
a
Iade
that
has
no
stomach
,
to
eate
Lamb-pye
.
ALbeit
Lamb-pie
be
good
meat
vpon
a
table
,
yet
it
is
so
offensiue
to
a
horses
stomach
,
that
he
had
rather
be
fed
a
moneth
together
with
mustie
oates
,
than
to
taste
it
:
Yet
are
not
all
Horses
bidden
to
this
Lamb-pye-Breakefasts
,
but
onely
such
as
are
dyeted
with
no
other
meate
:
and
those
are
Dull
,
Blockish
,
Sullen
,
and
heauie
footed
Iades
,
When-soeuer
therefore
a
Horse-courser
hath
such
a
Dead
commoditie
,
as
a
Lumpish
slow
Iade
,
that
goes
more
heauily
then
a
Cow
when
shée
trots
,
and
that
neither
by
a
sharpe
bitte
nor
a
tickling
spurre
he
can
put
him
out
of
his
lazie
and
dogged
pace
,
what
does
hée
with
him
then
?
Onely
hee
giues
him
Lambpie
.
That
is
to
say
,
euery
morning
when
the
Horse-courser
comes
into
the
Stable
,
hée
takes
vp
a
tough
round
cudgell
,
and
neuer
leaues
fencing
with
his
Quarter-staffe
at
the
poore
Horses
sides
and
buttockes
,
till
with
blowes
hée
hath
made
them
so
tender
,
that
the
verry
shaking
of
a
bough
will
be
able
to
make
the
horse
ready
to
runne
out
of
his
wittes
.
And
to
kéepe
the
horse
still
in
this
mad
mood
,
because
he
shall
not
forget
his
lesson
,
his
maister
will
neuer
come
néer
him
,
but
he
will
haue
a
fling
at
him
:
If
he
doe
touch
him
,
hée
strikes
him
:
if
he
speakes
to
him
,
there
is
but
a
word
and
a
blow
:
if
he
doe
but
looke
vpon
him
,
the
Horse
flings
and
takes
on
,
as
though
hée
would
breake
through
the
walles
,
or
had
béene
a
Horse
bredde
vp
in
Bedlam
amongst
mad
folkes
.
Hauing
thus
gotten
this
hard
lesson
by
heart
,
forth
comes
he
into
Smithfield
to
repeat
it
,
where
the
Rider
shall
no
sooner
leap
into
the
saddle
but
the
Horse-courser
giuing
the
Iade
(
that
is
halfe
scarred
out
of
his
wits
already
)
thrée
or
foure
good
bangs
,
away
flies
Bucephalus
as
if
young
Alexander
were
vpon
his
backe
.
No
ground
can
holde
him
,
no
bridle
raine
him
in
,
hée
gallops
away
as
if
the
Diuell
had
hired
him
of
some
Hackney-man
,
and
scuds
through
thicke
and
thinne
,
as
if
crackers
had
hung
at
his
héeles
.
If
his
taile
play
the
wag
,
and
happen
to
whiske
vp
and
downe
(
which
is
a
signe
that
hée
does
his
feates
of
Actiuitie
,
like
a
Tumblers
prentice
,
by
compulsion
and
without
taking
pleasure
in
them
(
then
shall
you
sée
the
Horse-courser
laie
about
him
like
a
thrasher
,
till
with
blowes
hée
make
him
carry
his
taile
to
his
Buttockes
:
which
in
a
Horse
(
contrary
to
the
nature
of
a
Dog
)
is
an
argument
that
hée
hath
mettell
in
him
and
Spirit
,
as
in
the
other
it
is
the
note
of
cowardise
.
These
and
such
other
base
iuglings
are
put
in
practise
,
by
the
Horse-courser
;
in
this
manner
comes
hée
arm'd
into
the
field
:
with
such
bad
and
deceiptfull
commodities
does
he
furnish
the
markets
.
Neither
steps
he
vpon
the
diuels
stage
alone
,
but
others
are
likewise
Actors
in
the
selfe-same
Scene
,
and
sharers
with
him
:
for
no
sooner
shall
mony
be
offred
for
a
Horse
,
but
presently
one
Snake
thrusts
out
his
head
and
stings
the
buyer
with
false
praises
of
the
Horses
goodnesse
:
An
other
throwes
out
his
poisoned
hooke
and
whispers
in
the
Chapmans
erre
,
that
vpon
his
knowledge
so
much
or
so
much
hath
béene
offred
by
foure
or
fiue
,
and
would
not
be
taken
:
and
of
these
Rauens
there
be
sundry
nests
,
but
all
of
them
as
blacke
in
soule
as
the
Horse-courser
(
with
whom
they
are
yoaked
)
is
in
conscience
.
This
Regiment
of
Horse-men
is
therefore
deuided
into
foure
Squadrons
.
viz.
-
1
When
Horse-coursers
trauaile
to
country
faires
,
they
are
called
Iynglers
.
-
2
When
they
haue
the
leading
of
the
Horse
,
and
serue
in
Smithfield
,
they
are
Drouers
.
-
3
They
that
stand
by
and
cony-catch
the
Chapman
,
either
with
Out-bidding
,
false-praises
,
&c.
are
called
Goades
.
-
4
The
hoyes
,
striplings
,
&c.
that
haue
the
ryding
of
the
Iades
vy
and
downe
,
are
called
Skip-iackes
.
Iacke

which
is
added
a
Map
,
by
which
a

may
learne
how
to
trauell

ouer
England
,
and
haue
his

(
besides
all
those
which
in
our
Now-two
Voyages
wée
haue
ventured
so
many
leagues
vp
,
for
discouerie
)
in
which
thousandes
of
people
are
continually
swimming
,
and
euerie
minute
in
danger
vtterly
to
be
cast
away
.
The
Horse-Courser
of
hell
,
after
hée
had
durtyed
him-selfe
Abuses
of
race-running
glanced
at
.
with
ryding
vp
and
downe
Smithfield
,
and
hauing
his
beast
vnder
him
,
gallopped
away
amaine
to
beholde
a
race
of
fiue
myles
by
a
couple
of
Running-Horses
,
vpon
whose
swiftnesse
great
summes
of
money
were
laide
in
wagers
.
In
which
Schoole
of
Horse-manship
(
wherein
for
the
most
part
none
but
Gallants
are
the
Studients
)
hée
construed
but
strange
Lectures
of
Abuses
:
hée
could
make
large
Comments
vpon
those
that
are
the
Runners
of
those
Races
,
and
could
teach
others
how
to
loose
fortie
or
fiftie
pound
pollitickely
in
the
fore-noone
,
and
in
the
after-noone
(
with
the
selfe-same
Gelding
)
to
winne
a
thousand
markes
in
fiue
or
sixe
myles
riding
.
Hée
could
tell
how
Gentlemen
are
fetched
in
and
made
younger
brothers
,
and
how
your
new
Knight
comes
to
be
a
Couzen
of
this
Race
.
Hée
could
draw
the
true
pictures
of
some
fellowes
,
that
dyet
these
Running-Horses
,
who
for
a
bribe
of
forty
shillings
can
by
a
false
Dye
,
make
their
owne
Maisters
loose
a
hundred
pound
a
race
.
Hée
could
shew
more
craftie
Foxes
in
this
wilde-goose
chase
,
then
there
are
white
Foxes
in
Russia
,
and
more
strange
Horse-trickes
plaide
by
such
Riders
,
then
Bankes
his
curtall
did
euer
practise
(
whose
Gamballs
of
the
two
,
were
the
honester
.
)
But
because
this
sort
of
Birdes
haue
many
feathers
to
loose
,
before
they
can
féele
any
colde
,
hée
suffers
them
to
make
their
owne
flight
,
knowing
that
prodigalls
doe
but
test
at
the
stripes
which
other
mens
rods
giue
them
,
and
neuer
complaine
of
smarting
,
till
they
are
whip'd
with
their
owne
.
In
euerie
Corner
did
he
finde
Serpents
ingendering
:
vnder

It

From

their

(
as

still
turning
backe

,
came
créeping
out
of
hollow
trées
,
where
they
lay
hidden
,
a
number
of
couzning
Bankrupts
,
in
the
shapes
of
Owles
,
who
when
the
Marshall
of
light
,
the
Sunne
,
went
vp
and
downe
to
search
the
Citie
,
durst
not
stir
abroad
,
for
feare
of

houted
at

followed
by
whole

of

.
But
now
when
the
stage
of

was
hung
in

they
ietted
vp

downe
like
proud

they
balladed

of
Night
,
for
bestowing
vpon
them
so
excellent
a

,
wherein
they
might
so

Now
durst
they
,
as

they
had
béene
Constables
,
rap
alowd
at
the
dores
of
those
to
whom
they
owed
most
mony
,
and
braue
them
with
hie
wordes
,
tho
they
payd
them
not
a
penny
.
Now
did
they
boldly
step
into
some
priuiledged
Tauerne
,
and
there
drinke
healths
,
dance
with
Harlots
,
and
pay
both
Drawers
and
Fidlers
after
mid-night
with
other
mens
money
,
and
then
march
home
againe
fearelesse
of
the
blowes
that
any
showlder-clapper
durst
giue
them
.
Out
of
another
nest
flew
certaine
Murderers
and
Theeues
in
the
shapes
of
Skreech-owles
,
who
,
being
set
on
by

Night
,
did
beate
with

bold
and
venturous
fatall
wings
at
the
very
dores
,
whereas
in
former
times
,
their
villanies
had
entred
.
Not
farre
from
These
,
came
crawling
out
of
their
bushes
a
company
of
graue
and
wealthy
Lechers
,
in
the
shapes
of
Glowe-wormes
,
who
with
Gold
,
Iyngling
in
their
pockets
,
made
such
a
shew
in
the
night
,

Common
Brothelryes
flew
open
to
receiue
them

tho
in
the
day
time
they
durst
not

for
feare
that

challenge
them
of

or
that

laugh
at

sée

Then
came
forth
certaine

who
all

not

A

These

were
séene
(
as
the

went

)

venture
from

EVery

on
a
sudden
was
shut
,
not
a
candle
stood
péeping
through
any
window
,
not
a
Vintner
was
to

in

Cellor
,
not
a
drunkerd

,
not
a

to

:
al
the
citie
shewed
like
one
Bed
,
and
al
in
that
Bed
were
soundly
cast
into
a
sléepe
.
Noyse
made
no
noise
,
for
euery
one
that
wrought
with
the
hammer
was
put
to
silence
.
Yet
notwithstanding
when
euen
the
Diuel
himselfe
could
haue
béene
contented
to
take
a
nap
,
there
were
few
Inkeepers
about
the
towne
but
had
their
spirits
walking
.
To
watch
which
spirits
what
they
doe
,
our
Spy
,
that
came
lately
out
of
the
Lowercountries
,
stole
into
one
of
their
Circles
,
where
lurking
very
closely
,
he
perceiued
that
when
all
the
guests
were
profoundly
sléeping
,
when
Carriers
were
soundly
snorting
,
and
not
so
much
as
the
chamberlaine
of
the
house
The
knauery
.
of
Hostlars
.
but
was
layd
vp
,
suddenly
out
of
his
bed
started
an
hostler
,
who
hauing
no
apparrell
on
but
his
shirt
,
a
paire
of
slip-shooes
on
his
féete
,
&
a
Candle
burning
in
his
hand
,
like
olde
Ieronimo
,
step'd
into
the
stable
amongst
a
number
of
poore
hungry
Iades
,
as
if
that
night
he
had
béene
to
ride
poast
to
the
Diuell
.
But
his
iorney
not
lying
that
way
till
some
other
time
,
he
neither
bridled
nor
sadled
any
of
his
foure-footed
guests
that
stood
there
at
racke
and
manger
,
but
séeing
them
so
late
at
supper
,
and
knowing
that
to
ouer-eate
them-selues
would
fill
them
full
of
diseases
,
(
they
being
subiect
to
aboue
a
hundred
&
thirty
already
)
hée
first
(
without
a
voyder
)
after
a
most
vnmanerly
fashion
tooke
away
,
not
onely
all
the
Prouander
that
was
set
before
them
,
but
also
all
the
hay
,
at
which
before
they
were
glad
to
licke
their
lippes
.
The
poore
Horse
looked
very
rufully
vpon
him
for
this
,
but
hée
rubbing
their
téeth
onely
with
the
end
of
a
Candle
(
in
stéed
of
a
Corrall
)
tolde
them
,
that
for
their
Iadish
trickes
it
was
now
time
to
weane
them
:
And
so
wishing
them
not
to
be
angry
if
they
lay
vpon
the
hard
boards
,
considering
all
the
beddes
in
the
house
were
full
,
backe
againe
hée
stole
to
his
Couch
,
till
breake
of
day
:
yet
fearing
least
the
sunne
should
rise
to
discouer
his
knauery
,
vp
hée
started
,
and
into
the
stable
hée
stumbled
,
scarce
halfe
awake
,
giuing
to
euery
Iade
a
bottle
of
hay
for
his
breake-fast
,
but
all
of
them
being
troubled
with
the
greazy
tooth-ach
,
could
eare
none
;
which
their
maisters
in
the
morning
espying
swore
they
were
either
sullen
or
els
that
prouender
pricked
them
.
This
Hostler

this
péece

the

,
or
else
were
so
vnmannerly
brought
vp
,
that
they
neuer
spake
to
their

that

.
In
some
stréetes
he
met
seruants
,
in
whose
brest
albeit

the
arrowes
of
the
plague
stucke
halfe
way
,
yet
by
cruelll
maisters
were
they
driued
out
of
dores
at
mid-night
and
conuaid
to
Garden-houses
,
where
they
either
died
before

next
morning
,
or
else
were
carried
thither
dead
in
their
coffins
,
as
tho
they
had
lien
sicke
there
before
and
there
had
dyed
.
Now
and
then
at
the
corner
of
a
turning
hée
spied
seruants
purloying
fardels
of
their
maisters
goods
,
&
deliuering
them
to
the
hands
of
common
strumpets
.
This
dore
opened
,
and
Lust
with
Prodigality
were
heard
to
stand
closely
kissing
:
and
(
wringing
one
another
by
the
hand
)
softly
to
whisper
out
foure
or
fiue
goodnights
till
they
met
abroad
the
next
morning
.
A
thousand
of
these
comedies
were
acted
in
dumbe
shew
,
and
onely
in
the
priuate
houses
:
at
which
the
Diuells
messenger
laught
so
loude
that
Hell
heard
him
,
and
for
ioy
rang
foorth
loud
and
lustie
Plaudities
.
But
being
driuen
into
wonder
why
the
night
would
fall
in
labour
,
and
bring
foorth
so
many
Villanies
,
whose
births
she
practised
to
couer
(
as
shée
had
reason
)
because
so
many
watchmen
were
continually
called
and
charged
to
haue
an
eye
to
her
dooings
,
at
length
hée
perceiued
that
Bats
(
more
vgly
and
more
in
number
then
these
)
might
flye
vp
and
downe
in
darkenesse
:
for
tho
with
their
Letherne
Wings
they
should
strike
the
very
billes
out
of
those
Watchmens
handes
,
such
leaden
plummets
were
commonly
hung
by
sléepe
at
all
their
eyelids
,
that
hardly
they
could
be
awakned
to
strike
them
agen
.
On
therefore
hée
walkes
,
with
intent
to
hasten
home
,
as
hauing
fil'd
his
Table-Bookes
with
sufficient
notes
of
intelligence
.
But
,
at
the
last
,
méeting
with
the
Bel-man
,
and
not
knowing
what
hée
was
,
because
hée
went
without
his
Lanthorne
and
some
other
implements
:
for
the
man
in
the
Moone
was
vp
the
most
part
of
the
night
,
and
lighted
him
which
way
soeuer
hée
turned
,
hée
tooke
him
for
some
churlish
Hobgoblin
,
séeing
a
long
staffe
on
his
necke
,
and
therefore
to
be
one
of
his
owne
fellowes
.
The
Bel-ringer
Smelling
what
strong
scent
hée
had
in
his
nose
,
soothed
him
vp
,
and
questioning
with
him
how
hée
had
spent
his
time
in
the
citie
,
and
what
discouery
of
Land-villanies
hée
had
made
in
this
Iland
voiage
:
tho
Mariner
of
hell
,
opened
his
chart
,
which
he
had
lined
with
all
abuses
,
lying
either
East
,
West
,
North
,
or
South
:
hée
shewed
how
hée
had
pricked
it
,
vpon
what
points
hée
had
saild
,
where
hée
put
in
:
vnder
what
height
hée
kept
him-selfe
:
where
hée
went
a
shore
,
what
strange
people
he
met
:
what
land
hée
had
discouered
,
and
what
commodities
hée
was
laden
with
from
thence
.
Of
all
which
the
Bel-man
drawing
forth
a
perfect
Map
,
they
parted
:
which
Map
hée
hath
set
out
in
such
collors
as
you
sée
,
tho
not
with
such
cunning
as
hée
could
wish
:
the
paines
are

the
pleasure
,
if
this
can
yéelde
any

onely
yours
,
on

bestowes
it
:
to

that

dedicates
both
them
and
his
loue
:
with
him
that
either
knows
not
how
,
or
cares
not
to
entertaine
them
,
hée
will
not
be
angry
,
