To
the
courteous
Reader
.
GEntlemen
,
a
Preface
to
a
Pamphlet
is
as
foolish
as
fancied
,
and
verses
(
in
laudem
authoris
)
are
farre
worse
then
a
Horse-coursers
commendation
of
a
Smythfield-Iade
,
the
one
too
too
common
,
the
other
friuolous
:
for
mine
owne
part
,
if
the
inside
of
my
labour
cannot
winne
your
content
,
let
the
outside
of
the
subiect
shew
his
authours
intent
:
I
know
I
shall
be
contemned
of
some
for
being
too
forward
,
controlled
of
others
who
perhaps
are
rubbed
on
the
sore
,
and
condemned
of
a
third
sort
for
a
loose
stile
and
lame
phrase
:
Indeed
Gentlemen
this
I
doe
confesse
,
I
shall
bring
vpon
this
great
Stage
of
fooles
(
for
omne
sub
Sole
vanitas
)
a
peece
of
folly
;
if
such
as
count
themselues
wise
dare
venter
the
reading
of
it
ouer
,
I
cannot
let
them
,
but
when
they
haue
perused
it
,
and
finde
therein
nothing
but
folly
,
let
them
reprehend
neither
the
worke
nor
workemaster
,
but
rather
themselues
,
in
that
they
would
spend
their
time
so
foolishly
,
being
before
warned
of
so
foolish
and
idle
a
subiect
.

MARTIN
MARK-ALL
his
Apologie
,
to
the
Bel-man
of
London
.
THere
hath
béen
of
late
dayes
great
paines
taken
on
the
part
of
the
good
old
Bel-man
of
London
,
in
discouering
as
hée
thinks
,
a
newfound
Nation
and
People
,
Let
it
be
so
for
this
time
:
hereupon
much
adoe
was
made
in
setting
forth
their
liues
,
order
of
liuing
,
method
of
spéech
,
and
vsuall
méetings
,
with
diuers
other
things
thereunto
appertaining
.
These
volumes
and
papers
,
now
spread
euerie
where
,
so
that
euerie
Iacke-boy
now
can
say
as
well
as
the
proudest
of
that
fraternitie
,
(
will
you
wapp
for
a
wyn
,
or
tranie
for
a
make
,
)
the
gentle
Company
of
Cursitours
began
now
to
stirre
,
and
looke
about
them
,
and
hauing
gathered
together
a
Conuocation
of
Canting
Caterpillars
,
as
wel
in
the
North
parts
at
the
Where
at
this
day
the
Rogues
of
the
North
part
,
once
euerie
three
yeeres
assemble
in
the
night
,
because
they
will
not
be
seene
and
espied
,
being
a
place
to
those
that
know
it
verie
fit
for
that
purpose
,
it
being
hollow
,
and
made
spacious
vnder
ground
,
at
first
by
estimation
halfe
a
mile
in
compasse
,
but
it
hath
such
turnings
and
roundings
in
it
,
that
a
man
may
easily
be
lost
,
if
hee
enter
not
with
a
guide
.
Diuels
arse
apeake
,
as
in
the
South
,
They
diligently
enquired
,
and
straight
search
was
made
,
whether
any
had
reuolted
from
that
faithles
fellowship
,
herupon
euery
one
gaue
his
verdict
,
some
supposed
that
it
might
be
some
one
,
that
hauing
ventured
too
farre
beyond
wit
and
good
taking
héede
was
fallen
into
the
hands
of
the
Magistrate
,
and
carried
to
the
trayning
Cheates
,
where
in
shew
of
a
penitent
heart
,
and
remoarse
of
his
good
time
ill
spent
,
turned
the
cocke
,
and
let
out
all
:
Others
thought
it
might
be
some
spie-knaue
,
that
hauing
little
to
doe
,
tooke
vpon
him
the
habite
and
forme
of
an
Hermite
,
and
so
by
dayly
commercing
and
discoursing
learned
in
time
the
mysterie
and
knowlege
of
this
ignoble
prosession
:
and
others
because
it
smelt
a
of
a
study
,
déemed
it
to
be
some
of
their
owne
companie
,
that
had
béen
at
some
frée-schoole
,
and
belike
because
hée
would
be
handsome
against
a
good
time
,
tooke
pen
and
inke
,
and
wrote
of
that
subiect
,
thus
,
Tot
homines
,
tot
sententiae
,
so
many
men
,
so
many
mindes
.
And
all
because
the
spightfull
Poet
would
not
set
too
his
name
.
At
last
vp
starts
an
old
Cacodemicall
Academicke
with
his
frize
bonnet
,
and
giues
them
al
to
know
,
that
this
inuectiue
was
set
foorth
,
made
,
and
printed
aboue
Fortie
yéeres
agoe
.
And
being
then
called
,
A
caueat
for
Cursitors
,
is
now
newly
printed
,
and
termed
,
The
Bel-man
of
London
,
made
at
first
by
one
Master
Harman
a
Iustice
of
Peace
in
Kent
,
in
Quéene
Maries
daies
,
he
being
then
about
ten
yéeres
of
age
.
At
this
newes
the
whole
Company
of
Clapperdudgions
,
were
indifferently
well
resolued
,
yet
their
mindes
were
not
fully
satisfied
,
because
they
knew
not
by
whom
this
booke
was
set
out
,
hereupon
for
this
time
the
Synagogue
of
Sathan
was
dismissed
,
and
the
whole
Regiment
of
Raggamuffins
betooke
themselues
to
their
vsuall
occupations
,
expecting
that
this
villanous
If
willer
of
theirs
,
at
one
time
or
other
,
would
be
knowne
and
brought
to
light
.
Not
long
after
,
this
peruerse
persecutor
of
poore
Pilgrims
,
not
content
with
the
former
iniurie
done
against
them
,
but
séeking
by
all
meanes
,
to
roote
out
and
scatter
them
,
if
it
were
possible
out
of
the
land
,
raises
new
forces
,
and
persecutes
them
,
with
fire
,
and
sword
,
and
deadly
warre
.
The
furie
and
malice
of
the
Bel-man
once
again
bruted
abroad
,
and
they
not
knowing
the
author
of
the
first
,
now
grow
outragious
,
begin
to
curse
with
Bell
,
booke
,
and
candle
:
That
if
he
were
to
be
knowne
,
they
would
spare
neither
cost
nor
labour
for
the
search
,
and
enquirie
of
him
forth
.
Meane
time
the
Rogues
of
the
North
,
that
had
before
met
at
the
Diuels
arse
apeake
,
hearing
of
this
vnexpected
newes
with
rage
inflamed
,
trot
on
their
lustie
tentoes
,
with
bagge
and
baggage
toward
the
Southerne
Regiment
,
who
being
entertained
with
such
welcomes
and
complements
,
as
are
vsed
among
themselues
.
They
presently
send
to
the
Beadle
of
the
Hall
,
to
summon
and
warne
,
all
of
that
Company
and
Fraternitie
,
to
make
his
personal
appearance
at
the
Swan
with
fiue
necks
in
Kings
stréete
as
the
fittest
place
to
receiue
so
ignoble
a
Court
of
Crack-ropes
.
The
Congregation
of
Caterpillars
gathered
together
,
and
the
Court
of
Couzoners
now
set
:
vp
starts
a
ragged
ouer
roasted
Iacke
of
the
Clocke
house
with
his
crutch
in
his
hand
,
in
stead
of
a
Tip-staffe
,
makes
thrée
solemne
O
yes
,
which
done
with
a
fierie
face
,
and
filthy
Throat
,
he
proclaymes
,
as
followeth
.
All
maner
of
people
that
were
summoned
to
appeare
here
this
day
,
Corporall
Fize
.
before
Corporall
Fize
chiefe
Commander
of
the
Regiment
,
and
Corporation
of
good
fellowes
,
and
Maunders
,
let
them
draw
néere
,
and
giue
their
attendance
,
for
the
Court
is
set
.
As
soone
as
euer
the
proclamation
was
ended
,
Lord
,
what
a
Companie
of
petitioners
pressed
to
the
barre
to
preferre
their
papers
of
miuries
,
that
were
offred
and
done
among
themselues
,
here
one
complaines
that
hée
could
not
trauell
safely
,
nor
cary
any
money
without
danger
of
the
vyright
man
and
Tinker
,
but
that
they
would
robbe
and
spoyle
them
of
all
that
was
ought
about
them
,
here
another
that
they
could
not
quietly
take
their
rast
in
the
night
,
nor
kéepe
his
Autem
,
or
dorie
sole
vnto
himselfe
:
but
that
the
Ruffier
,
padder
,
or
any
vpright
man
,
would
take
them
away
perforce
,
and
others
that
they
could
not
conuerse
,
and
kéepe
company
with
those
that
they
met
,
but
that
in
the
night
they
are
sure
to
be
Clyd
in
the
night
,
by
the
Angler
,
or
hooker
,
or
such
like
pilferers
that
liue
vpon
the
spoyle
of
other
poore
people
.
These
were
generally
the
effect
of
their
petitions
,
but
O
,
if
a
man
were
there
to
heare
the
noyse
,
the
clamour
,
and
bawling
that
was
there
amonge
them
,
you
would
sure
thinke
,
that
all
the
dogges
in
Parish
garden
were
broke
loose
,
and
came
thither
on
purpose
to
yawle
:
yea
,
I
think
in
my
conscience
,
Cerberus
that
thrée-throat
horrible
hel-hound
neuer
kept
a
more
dolefull
,
nor
horryd
noyse
,
than
those
kennell
of
Clapperdugeons
did
at
that
time
,
but
after
that
proclamation
was
made
for
silence
,
Corporall
Fize
chéefe
Commander
of
that
courte
,
began
as
followeth
.
Corporall
Fize
his
speech
to
appease
the
tumult
.
My
friends
and
fellowes
,

méeting
héere
at
this
time
is
not
to
discusse
and
determine
of
matters
betwéene
partie
and

But
our
assembly
now
is
to
finde
out
,
Iudge
,

determine

late
hath

malitious
and
iniurious
Pamphlets

Corporall
Fizehis
charge
to
the
Iurie
.
My
Masters
of
the
Iurie
,
and
you
my
good
friendes
;
the
cause
of
our
vnexpected
and
vnaccustomed
méeting
at
this
time
is
not
vnknowen
vnto
you
all
,
how
an
vpstart
pamphletmaker
and
a
most
iniurious
and
Satiricall
Libeller
hath
of
late
dayes
done
as
much
as
in
him
lieth
:
not
onely
to
disgrace
and
defame
our
so
auncient
and
long
continuing
profession
:
but
also
extirpe
and
ouerthrow
all
our
customes
,
acts
and
ceremonies
,
which
time
out
of
minde
haue
béene
accustomed
,
and
now
are
daily
in
vse
and
custome
among
vs
,
The
cause
of
this
his
muddie
humour
,
I
cannot
guesse
otherwise
then
this
,
that
being
wearie
of
his
good
name
and
reputation
(
if
euer
he
had
any
)
is
now
contented
to
disburden
himselfe
thereof
:
and
giues
the
whole
world
to
vnderstand
,
that
delighting
in
Rogerie
more
then
honestie
:
he
would
shew
himselfe
to
be
little
better
then
a
tame
Rogue
.
The
matter
that
he
busieth
himselfe
about
,
fauoureth
onely
rancor
and
malice
:
The
end
whereat
he
aymeth
,
tendeth
to
death
and
desolation
,
subuersion
of
ourstate
and
fashion
.
And
therefore
my
masters
,
it
behooueth
you
as
at
all
other
times
,
so
especially
at
this
time
,
wisely
and
considerately
to
way
and
ponder
of
this
fact
,
for
it
is
not
an
offence
against
one
or
two
priuate
men
:
but
it
toucheth
the
whole
company
in
generall
.
And
therfore
a
thing
not
to
be
passed
slightly
ouer
,
you
therefore
that
haue
the
managing
of
this
businesse
,
without
whom
wee
of
our selues
can
procéed
in
nothing
,
you
being
our
right
hand
herein
,
bend
all
your
care
for
the
good
of
this
little
Common-wealth
.
And
as
you
are
elected
and
chosen
to
suborne
and
vphold
this
small
Regiment
,
so
I
pray
you
shew
your selues
,
as
I
hope
you
will
the
true
supporters
and
pillers
of
the
same
.
But
briefely
to
make
an
ende
,
because
I
purpose
not
to
vse
many
words
,
you
shall
not
néed
to
enquire
and
search
for
the
Author
,
or
his
name
of
this
inuectiue
,
for
he
is
knowen
.
And
in
his
second
Round
as
he
calles
it
,
hath
set
to
his
name
:
and
therefore
you
may
saue
that
labour
,
your
charge
is
onely
to
finde
of
the
slaunder
and
scandall
comprised
in
the
Inditement
,
or
no
,
if
you
finde
him
guiltie
,
you
shall
returne
on
the
backe
side
of
the
Inditement
that
hee
is
guiltie
,
and
so
giue
it
in
Court
,
that
we
may
procéed
against
him
accordingly
:
meane
time
because
it
is
fit
to
procéed
with
equitie
and
iustice
,
and
not
to
giue
iudgement
rashly
and
hastily
against
any
man
,
before
he
haue
made
his
Apologie
,
or
purgation
,
our
Purseuant
shall
bée
spéedily
sent
to
him
to
bring
him
before
vs
,
that
he
may
aunswere
to
the
obiections
and
crimes
layde
against
him
.
A
messenger
sent
to
call
the
Bel-man
.
Straight
was
a
stout
sturdie
and
bigbone
knaue
sent
in
Embassage
to
Senior
the
Bel-man
to
appeare
,
who
assoone
as
his
message
was
deliuered
(
he
néed
d
not
to
eb
bid
make
haste
)
speedily
hastens
to
the
Belmans
house
,
where
he
findes
him
at
home
by
the
fire
side
,
mumbling
a
péece
of
bread
and
chéese
.
The
Belman
séeing
this
rude
and
vnmannerly
fellow
come
in
puffing
,
without
any
God
spéed
,
was
ready
to
choake
for
feare
:
but
after
they
had
parled
on
the
matter
,
and
deliuered
his
message
,
the
Belman
lockes
fast
his
doore
,
and
puts
the
key
vnder
the
Still
,
and
away
they
goe
together
toward
the
Court
of
Crackeropes
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Iurie
gaue
vp
their
verdite
,
they
made
not
a
long
haruest
of
a
little
corne
,
but
suddenly
they
laid
their
knaues
heads
together
,
and
concluded
that
the
Belman
was
guiltie
of
the
slaunder
comprised
in
the
Inditement
:
and
thereupon
deliuered
vp
againe
the
Inditement
into
the
Court
;
and
so
for
that
time
they
all
departed
to
dinner
.
By
this
time
the
Gentlemen
of
the
ragged
order
,
had
almost
dined
,
and
now
come
in
all
haste
,
the
Belman
and
his
kéeper
,
who
assoone
as
they
were
now
come
;
word
was
carried
in
to
the
Masters
of
misrule
,
that
the
Belman
was
in
the
hall
ready
to
auouch
what
he
had
published
:
At
this
word
they
all
straight
rose
(
although
scarce
well
dined
)
as
all
moued
with
a
couetous
and
gréedy
desire
to
sée
the
confusion
of
the
poore
Belman
.
As
soone
as
the
Benchers
of
the
ragged
Robes
were
set
,
in
was
called
the
Belman
to
make
his
Apologie
,
where
after
he
had
made
his
appearance
,
The
chiefe
commaunder
of
Crackropes
began
thus
as
followeth
.
Corporal
Fize
his
Oration
to
the
Belman
.
Signior
Belman
,
I
maruell
what
madnesse
hath
bewitched
you
,
or
what
furie
hath
made
you
so
fantasticke
thus
to
raile
on
vs
poore
Vagrants
,
penilesse
pilgrimes
,
hath
your
nightly
watchings
and
continuall
disorder
of
your
braines
so
whorried
your
senses
,
that
you
can
let
flie
at
none
other
but
on
vs
,
poore
forlorne
wretches
,
that
trouble
you
not
,
no
not
so
much
as
once
in
seauen
yeares
.
Mee
thinkes
it
should
haue
béene
your
part
rather
to
haue
tolde
of
domesticall
affaires
and
houshold
matters
,
what
good
rule
is
kept
among
your
watch
,
how
here
one
lies
drunke
when
he
should
stand
Sentinel
,
There
another
lying
along
a
sléepe
vpon
a
bench
complayning
how
his
back
akes
,
with
carrying
the
Tankard
and
burthens
in
the
day
time
;
so
that
he
were
more
fit
to
haue
béene
at
home
in
bed
a
fléepe
,
then
busied
with
any
seruice
for
the
City
abroad
at
night
,
how
you
found
this
doore
left
open
by
Prentizes
,
either
to
let
in
their
whores
when
their
Masters
be
a
sléepe
,
or
to
purloyn
their
Masters
goods
to
maintaine
their
Trulls
,
here
to
finde
out
a
Knaue
picking
open
a
locke
by
the
helpe
of
his
black
Arte
,
and
there
in
a
Taylors
stall
hote
luxurie
making
ryot
.
These
and
many
more
might
you
haue
busied
your
braine
about
,
and
not
thus
scandalously
and
satirically
to
tyrannize
ouer
vs
as
your
Crosbiters
do
ouer
their
Simplers
.
No
,
no
,
Goodman
Bel-man
,
though
we
are
of
the
contemned
sort
,
yet
we
haue
supporters
,
and
those
that
will
fight
in
our
quarrell
were
you
neuer
so
strong
.
But
to
the
matter
,
surely
you
thinke
you
haue
done
a
noble
exploit
,
thus
to
descry
and
declare
to
the
worlde
our
manner
of
liuing
and
customarie
lawes
,
our
Innes
,
feasts
,
and
méetings
:
And
that
herein
you
haue
done
the
part
of
a
good
subiect
,
thus
to
Anatomize
and
picture
out
such
kinde
of
people
as
you
terme
base
,
that
liue
by
the
sweat
of
other
mens
browes
(
as
you
say
.
)
This
I
sent
your
reason
,
In
déede
I
will
say
as
you
say
:
But
shall
I
tell
you
,
your
praise
had
béene
much
more
the
greater
,
if
you
had
searched
into
the
particular
enormities
,
&
palpable
villanies
committed
daily
in
your
City
:
Let
vs
poore
folke
liue
as
wee
doe
,
we
doe
no
man
hurt
but
our selues
,
nor
no
mans
foe
but
our
owne
,
we
haue
nothing
but
what
other
men
can
spare
,
other
mens
leauings
are
our
refreshings
,
and
if
it
were
not
for
vs
,
much
good
meate
would
be
in
danger
of
Fly-blowing
,
or
cast
to
dogges
.
If
there
bee
any
in
our
vocation
or
calling
,
that
liue
disorderly
and
out
of
compasse
,
what
trade
can
you
name
that
doe
not
the
like
.
If
wee
sometimes
lie
with
our
neighbours
wiues
,
is
it
not
vsuall
else-where
?
(
nay
herein
by
your
fauour
,
we
doe
best
paint
out
the
family
of
Loue
,
who
doe
not
sticke
but
to
haue
all
things
in
common
:
)
If
in
bowsing
we
ouer-drinke
our selues
,
doe
not
some
of
the
best
in
your
City
do
the
like
?
If
some
make
little
conscience
in
lying
,
swearing
,
and
stealing
,
I
thinke
fewe
of
your
Trades-men
goe
frée
:
If
then
it
be
all
one
in
City
as
in
Countrey
,
among
the
rich
as
amongst
vs
poore
,
and
generally
in
all
Trades
and
Occupations
deceit
and
abuses
,
sith
it
is
so
that
he
that
cannot
dissemble
cannot
liue
:
why
then
should
you
bee
so
spitefull
goodman
Saunshell
to
inueigh
against
vs
poore
soules
aboue
the
rest
,
who
of
all
others
,
in
shifting
are
the
most
simplest
soules
in
this
ouer
wise
world
.
But
you
good
sir
,
like
a
Spider
to
entrappe
onely
the
smallest
flies
,
suffer
the
great
ones
to
flie
through
,
you
scowre
the
ditch
of
a
company
of
croaking
frogs
,
when
you
leaue
behinde
you
an
infinite
number
of
venomous
Toades
,
you
decypher
and
paint
out
a
poore
Rogue
,
or
a
Doxie
that
steale
and
rob
hedges
of
a
few
ragged
clothes
(
which
you
can
make
but
petit
larciney
.
)
And
neuer
speake
of
those
Vultures
that
ruine
whole
Lordships
,
and
infect
the
common
wealth
,
by
their
vallainous
liuing
to
the
discredit
of
some
,
and
ill
example
to
all
.
Sir
reuerence
on
your
Mastership
,
good
Mas
Belman
,
had
you
such
a
moate
in
your
eie
,
that
you
could
not
sée
those
Fox-surd
gentlemen
,
that
harbour
more
deceit
vnder
their
dammaske
cassockes
,
then
is
in
all
the
poore
Rogues
in
a
countrey
,
Brokers
I
meane
and
Vsurers
,
that
like
vultures
prey
vpon
the
simple
,
those
that
are
moaths
in
a
Common-wealth
,
liuing
vpon
the
spoile
of
young
gentlemen
,
as
thirstie
as
a
horse-léech
,
that
will
neuer
leaue
drinking
vntill
he
burst
:
A
Knaue
that
hath
the
interest
in
the
leases
of
fortie
bawdie
houses
,
and
a
receiuer
of
lifts
,
and
a
dishonourable
supporter
of
Cutpurses
,
sléeping
with
his
neighbours
pledges
all
night
in
his
bosome
,
and
féeding
vpon
forfeits
and
penalties
,
as
Rauens
doe
vpon
carrion
,
one
that
is
a
bowzie
bawdie
miser
,
good
for
none
but
himselfe
,
and
his
trugge
,
the
scumme
of
your
seauen
deadly
sinnes
,
and
an
enemy
to
all
good
mindes
.
What
say
you
to
these
now
,
good
Senior
Bel-man
,
had
you
not
béen
better
occupied
to
haue
discouered
,
and
layne
open
these
kinde
of
Caterpillars
then
thus
at
Randum
,
to
rayle
on
vs
poore
harmelesse
Pilgrims
,
these
are
within
your
precinct
and
libertie
,
with
whom
you
are
dayly
conuersant
.
But
you
will
verifie
the
old
saying
,
where
the
ditch
is
lowest
,
there
men
goe
ouer
thicke
and
thrée-fold
:
but
it
séemes
you
durst
not
make
any
mention
of
these
,
because
they
bée
your
good
Masters
and
Benefactors
,
but
for
my
part
I
care
for
none
of
them
,
no
more
then
they
care
for
me
.
The
néerest
to
our
profession
that
I
knowe
,
you
are
most
like
to
the
whip-iacke
,
who
(
as
you
say
)
being
an
idle
fellow
,
and
a
fresh-water
souldier
,
neuer
sayling
further
than
Graues-end
,
will
talke
and
prate
of
the
low
Countreys
,
of
this
battell
,
&
that
skirmish
that
he
fought
in
,
wheras
indéed
he
neuer
durst
say
so
much
as
Boh
to
a
Mouse
,
so
you
neuer
going
further
out
of
town
thē
a
farthing
candle
wil
light
,
you
will
talke
,
&
prate
,
&
make
a
flourish
of
a
number
of
things
done
both
out
of
your
precinct
,
and
capacitie
:
say
you
are
acquainted
with
all
the
damned
Crew
about
the
Citie
,
must
it
néeds
follow
that
you
haue
the
in-sight
and
myshery
of
our
calling
and
prrofession
likewise
?
No
good
sir
,
knowe
you
are
wide
by
the
length
of
your
nose
,
yea
,
and
so
wide
that
you
shall
neuer
know
the
full
depth
therof
,
vntill
you
haue
vndertaken
the
sublime
habite
,
and
shape
of
a
poore
Pilgrim
,
and
humble
Heremite
.
And
so
Benedicite
.
After
this
profound
Drator
had
thus
bespoken
,
license
was
granted
to
the
Bel-man
,
to
make
his
answere
and
purgation
,
where
when
he
had
cleared
his
throat
with
a
hem
,
and
made
himselfe
readie
for
that
purpose
,
he
procéeded
thus
.
My
Masters
,
and
you
that
are
héere
present
to
heare
The
Belmans
Answer
and
defence
mée
,
I
take
no
care
how
to
answere
you
,
knowing
my
cause
to
be
iust
and
honest
,
it
hath
béene
euer
knowne
,
that
those
that
haue
guilty
consciences
wil
thinke
,
that
euery
thing
that
is
saidis
spoken
against
themselues
.
And
now
I
finde
it
too
true
,
that
it
is
not
good
medling
with
galled
Iades
,
least
they
winch
and
kicke
.
For
mine
own
part
,
what
I
haue
saide
I
dare
auouch
,
and
I
am
sully
resolued
to
stand
to
my
tackling
,
come
what
tempest
will
.
And
since
you
haue
giuen
me
leaue
fréely
to
speak
my
mind
without
interruption
,
I
will
begin
with
your
liues
,
and
shew
you
how
vilde
and
base
it
is
before
God
and
the
world
.
For
I
thinke
there
be
none
here
but
such
as
you
call
Maunders
,
Clapperdugeons
,
and
a
few
Padders
,
and
those
of
the
meanest
sort
,
al
which
I
may
rightly
term
you
,
&
giue
you
this
one
name
drowsie
Drones
,
and
lowsie
Loyterers
:
and
what
is
a
Lopterer
or
Drone
,
nothing
but
a
sucker
of
honie
,
a
spoyler
of
corne
,
a
destroyer
of
fruit
,
a
waster
of
mony
,
a
spoyler
of
victuall
,
a
sucker
of
blood
,
a
breaker
of
good
orders
,
a
séeker
of
brawls
,
a
queller
of
life
,
a
Baseliske
of
a
common-wealth
,
which
by
companie
and
sight
doth
poyson
a
whole
countrey
,
and
stayneth
honest
minds
with
the
infection
of
his
venome
,
and
so
draweth
the
Common-wealth
to
death
and
destruction
,
and
such
is
the
end
of
your
liues
&
commanding
:
when
we
sée
a
great
number
of
flies
in
a
yéere
,
we
iudg
it
like
to
be
a
great
plague
:
and
hauing
so
great
a
swarming
of
loytering
vagabonds
,
&
sturdie
Rogues
readie
to
brawle
and
swagger
at
euery
mans
dore
,
doth
it
not
declare
a
greater
infection
readie
to
ensue
.
Who
therefore
can
otherwise
déeme
.
But
that
this
pestilence
wherewith
this
our
flourishing
Commonwealth
is
so
plagued
with
,
is
aboue
all
other
most
pestilent
,
yea
and
so
pestiferous
,
that
indeede
there
can
bee
no
more
hurtfull
a
thing
to
a
wel
gouerned
estate
:
and
therefore
it
is
not
onely
most
odious
,
but
also
pestilent
in
that
it
hath
spotted
the
whole
Countrey
with
such
a
staine
and
blot
of
idlenesse
.
What
say
you
to
a
number
of
Vagabonds
,
and
sturdy
Rogues
that
after
the
ouerthrow
of
the
enemy
,
and
breaking
vp
of
the
Campe
,
will
swarme
in
euery
corner
of
the
Realme
,
and
not
only
lie
loytering
vnder
hedges
,
but
also
stand
sturdely
in
Cities
,
and
begge
boldly
at
euery
doore
,
leauing
labour
which
they
like
not
,
and
following
Idlenesse
which
they
should
not
?
For
after
wars
it
is
commonly
séene
that
those
that
went
out
honest
,
returne
home
againe
like
Roysters
:
and
as
they
were
brent
to
the
warres
bottome
,
they
haue
euer
after
all
their
daies
an
vnsauory
smacke
thereof
,
and
smell
still
towards
day-sléepers
and
hedge-tréepers
,
purse-cutters
,
padders
,
quarrellers
and
blood-shedders
.
Is
it
not
séene
commonly
after
wars
,
more
robbing
,
théeuing
,
begging
and
murdering
then
before
?
and
those
to
stand
in
high-waies
to
aske
Almes
,
whom
men
are
afrayd
to
say
nay
vnto
honestly
,
least
it
be
taken
away
from
them
violently
,
and
haue
more
cause
to
suspect
their
strength
,
then
to
pittie
their
neede
:
men
cannot
safely
ride
in
the
high-way
,
vnlesse
they
ride
stronge
:
worke
is
left
at
home
vndone
,
and
loyterers
laze
in
the
stréete
,
lurke
in
Ale-houses
,
and
range
in
the
high-waies
:
sturdy
knaues
play
in
Towns
,
and
complaine
of
néede
,
whose
filchman
or
staffe
,
if
it
be
once
warme
in
their
hands
,
or
sluggishnes
bred
in
their
bosome
,
they
will
neuer
be
allured
to
worke
,
according
to
the
saying
that
you
haue
among
your selues
(
If
you
can
Cant
,
you
will
neuer
worke
)
shewing
,
that
if
they
haue
béene
rogues
so
long
,
that
they
can
Cant
,
they
will
neuer
settle
themselues
to
labour
againe
.
And
what
more
noysome
beasts
in
a
Common-wealth
can
there
be
,
then
you
loyterers
are
?
Diuers
vermine
destroy
corne
,
kill
pullen
,
and
engines
and
snares
are
made
for
them
:
but
for
your selues
,
although
you
are
made
men
that
should
haue
reason
,
yet
nothing
will
serue
to
bridle
you
,
or
kéepe
you
in
compasse
,
vntill
your
neck
be
compassed
with
a
With
or
Halter
.
And
what
a
griefe
is
it
to
an
honest
man

truly
in
youth
,
and
to
gaine
painefully
by
labour
,
wherewith
to
liue
honestly
in

,
and
to
haue
this
(
gotten
in
a
long
time
)
to
be
suddenly
caught
and
rapt
away
by
violence
.
Here
the
Bel-man
would
haue
said
more
,
and
scarce
hither
to
could
they
refraine
themselues
,
but
with
indignation
and
choler
,
were
ready
to
teare
the
poore
Belman
in
péeces
amongst
them
;
for
the
Sunne
being
in
Cancer
,
and
the
Midsomer
Moone
at
full
:
their
mindes
were
imbrued
with
such
follies
,
and
their
heads
carried
away
with
such
vanities
,
that
as
men
of
Athens
,
they
would
heare
no
man
speake
but
themselues
,
and
thought
nothing
well
said
,
but
what
came
out
of
their
owne
mouthes
.
But
after
the
storme
was
past
,
and
an
O
Yes
was
made
for
silence
,
A

from
Don-Purloyningo

a

sent
to
my

Don-Pourloyningo
:
They
came
to
his

,
he
hath
perused
them
,
and
sent
you
his
generall
protection
,
to
defend
you
from
the
handes
of
the
impatient
and
seuere
people
:
now
you
may
be
of
good
comfort
,
and
pull
vp
your
hearts
:
if
you
offend
againe
,
you
néede
feare
no
punishment
,
but
swagger
till
your
guts
cracke
:
you
shall
haue
all
at
your
own
willes
to
the

:
Nay
,
t
is
true
as
I
tell
you
;
if
you
wil
not
beleeue
,
you
shall
sée
his
letters
of
comfort
and

Consolatory

which
he
hath

all
your

for
the

will
be

you
at

With
that
he
pulled
forth
of
his

the

sent
from
Don

the
Gentlemen
of

Order

That
whereas
in
all
places
we
are
daily
persecuted
by
all
sortes
of
Officers
,
as
Marshals
,
Beadles
,
Sergeants
,
Bayliffes
,
Constables
,
and
such
other
officers
,
lying
continually
as
spyes
to
entrappe
and
catch
vs
poore
soules
,
as
wee
are
following
our
callings
in
Markels
,
Faires
,
frayes
,
throngs
,
and
assemblies
,
wherein
heretofore
we
haue
liued
reasonable
well
,
though
not
with
any
great
credite
,
yet
voyde
of
suspition
or
apprehension
:
and
being
so
taken
,
haue
beene
carried
to
places
of
correction
,
there
wofully
tormented
by
Blew-coates
,
cowardly
fellowes
,
that
durst
not
let
vs
haue
our
hands
at
liberty
;
but
without
al
humanity
,
haue
so
scourged
vs
,
that
flesh
and
blood
could
hardly
endure
it
.
And
whereas
our
predecessours
before
,
for
the
good
of
this
Common-wealth
of
ours
,
tooke
great
paines
in
deuising
a
new
spéech
or
language
,
to
the
end
we
might
vtter
our
mindes
fréely
,
and
speake
boldly
without
controulement
one
to
another
,
which
no
doubt
was
a
great
helpe
to
vs
and
our
predecessours
heretofore
;
yet
such
is
the
malice
of
some
enuious
il-willer
of
ours
,
that
hath
we
know
not
how
,
not
onely
discouered
our
maners
and
fashions
,
but
also
this
our
language
and
spéech
,
whereby
we
are
often
times
ouer-hard
,
and
taken
and
sent
to
prisons
and
tortures
,
and
onely
by
our
owne
confessions
,
which
we
haue
vttered
in
this
our
language
,
and
which
haue
truste
vnto
vs
boldly
,
as
if
wee
had
beene
safe
bolted
in
a
Castle
or
strong
hold
.
Now
forasmuch
as
wee
haue
not
any
friend
to
whom
we
may
haue
accesse
that
will
heare
or
tender
our
causes
in
these
affaires
,
we
know
not
whether
to
resort
for
aide
,
but
to
your
good
worshippe
,
who
wee
assure
our selues
loue
and
fauour
vs
,
and
will
stretch
your selfe
to
the
vttermost
of
your
power
,
for
our
enlargement
and
deliuerie
from
these
perplexities
by
your
mediation
to
Papa
Belzebub
the
blacke
Prince
:
for
whose
sake
we
haue
endured
many
bitter
stormes
,
cursings
and
reuylings
contrarie
to
our
expectation
when
we
first
began
to
practise
our
trade
and
occupation
.
Besides
the
losse
of
many
good
booties
,
as
siluer
,
plate
,
Iewels
,
apparrell
and
such
like
things
,
which
when
we
haue
fingred
to
doe
vs
credite
,
haue
béene
taken
as
wayfes
to
our
great
impouerishments
,
when
wee
haue
béene
driuen
to
yéelde
to
the
officers
,
by
which
we
finding
our selues
to
grow
so
weake
in
purse
,
dare
hardly
aduenture
to
get
to
discharge
our
daily
consumations
and
expences
:
nay
although
we
would
,
we
cannot
;
for
the
very
vulgar
are
growne
so
craftie
,
that
we
are
knowen
so
well
as
the
beggar
knowes
his
dish
,
although
we
dissemble
our
habites
and
estates
neuer
so
much
.
Therefore
presuming
you
will
vngratiously
consider
of
our
hardnesse
,
and
spéedily
fetch
vs
away
from
these
places
which
in
torture
,
as
to
vs
more
hote
then
hell
:
we
lie
thicke
and
thrée-fold
vnder
staules
,
bulkes
and

,
praying
for
your

,
whose
good
word
we
make
no
question
of
,
knowing
well
the
pitty
remayning
in
your
good

,
and
often
extended
in

expecting

Don
Purloyningo
at

,
hauing
an
extraordinary
tender
care
ouer
them

as
being

,
hath
first
inuented
a

for
their

into

considering
how

through
the

of

The
description
of
the
state
and
situation
of
Theuingen
,
with
the
nature
and
disposition
of
the
people
there
INHABITING
.
THe
land
of
Theuingen
is
a
Countrey
bordering
vpon
the
famous
and
thrice
renouned
Citie
Signifying
a
close
&
strong
place
to
keepe
Treasure
in
.
Gazaphilatium
:
it
is
a
Countrie
vast
,
ful
of
desarts
and
thick
woods
:
and
although
the
land
be
mightily
replenished
with
al
sorts
of
nations
and
people
,
yet
is
it
turned
to
no
vse
at
al
,
neither
for
pasture
nor
arable
,
but
only
améere
wildernesse
,
it
hath
béene
a
Countrey
inhabited
from
the
beginning
,
although
not
discouered
so
plainly
heretofore
as
of
late
daies
;
people
from
all
Countries
daily
resort
and
flocke
thither
for
case
and
quietnesse
,
as
the
Proditorians
,
Curtatoriences
,
Vacabundi
Piratorij
,
Iesuites
,
Seminacies
,
and
generally
all
of
the
Popes
Sectaries
,
all
murderers
,
out-lawes
and
fugitiues
,
Banckrouts
and
Brokers
to
the
diuels
grace
,
Parasits
,
day
sléepers
,
and
generally
all
that
haue
fought
in
defence
of
Lecheritania
:
These
are
naturally
giuen
and
inclined
to
idlenesse
and
lazie
liues
,
insomuch
that
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
being
hungry
they
will
steale
one
from
another
,
and
often
cut
one
anothers
throates
:
They
neuer
take
paines
for
any
thing
they
haue
,
and
yet
they
haue
all
thinges
without
money
.
Their
Béere
is
of
that
force
,
and
so
mightie
,
that
it
serueth
them
in
steade
of
meate
,
drinke
,
fire
,
and
apparrell
,
which
they
learne
of
their
neighbour
Drinktalians
to
brew
:
And
they
haue
the
praise
aboue
all
other
,
farre
beyond
the
Darbalians
,
the
Labourinvaynalians
or
the
Pymlyconians
.
The
City
Gazaphilacium
.
Close
vpon
this
Countrey
East-ward
,
is
situate
a
goodly
,
faire
,
and
most
rich
Citie
,
called
,
as
I
said
before
Gazaphilacium
:
this
Citie
is
very
strongly
defenced
,
for
it
is
inuironed
about
with
a
wall
of
Siluer
beaten
out
with
the
hammer
;
and
yet
for
all
this
,
the
Inhabitants
are
very
couetous
,
and
fearefull
to
lose
that
which
they
haue
got
together
.
And
for
that
it
is
so
rich
and
opulent
;
all
the
whole
world
are
daylie
plotting
how
to
supprize
the
same
,
sometimes
with
pollicie
,
and
sometimes
by
force
:
but
aboue
all
the
rest
,
they
are
troubled
and
pestered
with
the
Theuengers
that
they
are
forced
day
and
night
to
kéepe
continuall
watch
and
yet
for
all
that
,
doe
what
they
can
,
they
are
so
pilled
and
robbed
by
them
,
vpon
the
Sea
Coasts
called
Mare
Discontentaneum
,
that
often
times
they
are
driuen
into
great
extasies
and
perplexities
.
The
people
Melancholy
.
These
are
altogether
bent
to
Malancholy
,
and
giuen
much
to
be
malecontent
,
for
that
the
Sea
Mare
Discontentaneum
floweth
often
ouer
the
banckes
of
this
Countrey
at
euery
full
Moone
;
as
also
because
this
land
being
full
of
Créekes
and
small
Riuers
,
which
runne
out

in
this
Sea
,
and
the
Inhabitants
vsing
to

thereof
;
hauing
little
or
no

for
their
sustenance
and

dooth
so

thereof
procéedeth
a

some
to

others
to

some
to

,
and
others
to

so
that
the
Inhabitants
round
about

wonderfully
plagued
with
them

in

Which
is
as
much
to
say
,
the
remembrance
of
our
great
Grandfather
Caine
who
was
a
runnagate
,
for
killing
his
brother
Abel
.
Caine
,
from
whence
procéeded
the
race
of
Runagates
,
for
after
that
Caine
had
murdred
his
brother
,
I
suppose
hee
ran
away
out
of
his
natiue
country
into
this
new
found
land
to
hide
himself
,
wherin
he
liued
some
few
yéeres
&
died
,
whose
posterity
from
age
to

haue
possessed
the

.
And
at
this
day
there
is
a
monument
,
called
in

past
Canabels

called

it

In
a

spatious
plain
called
Knaues-borough
plaine
,
doth
Don-Purloyningo
kéepe
his
Court
,
which
many
men
of
sundry
nations
and
trades
haue
desired
to
sée
and
to
behold
;
who
when
they
haue
had
their
desire
,
and
remained
but
some
small
time
there
,
haue
so
fashioned
themselues
to
the
manners
and
conditions
of
those
people
,
that
many
haue
from
thenceforth
turned
Turks
,
smelled
of
the
Countrey
,
and
sauored
of
their
detestable
and
vitious
kinde
of
life
all
their
daies
after
:
and
most
of
your
trauellers
hitherto
are
your
vaine
and
curious
Taylors
,
Myliners
,
Tyrewoman
,
Semsters
,
S.

obseruants
,
Shuttle-cocke

Farthingal

twenty
other
occupations
,
who
to
fill
the

full
of
vanities

care
not

they
trauell

Diuers
villages
▪
In
this
plaine
are
situate
diuers
petty
villages
and
hamlets
,
as
Filchington
,
Foystham
,
Nymington
,
Liftington
,
Swearinghampton
,
the
great
and
the
little
.
These
townes
at
first
were
made
to
entertaine
and
lodge
all
such
Trauellers
as
came
to
sée
that
auncient
seate
of
Don-Purloyningo
,
who
were
so
named
,
as
the
Pharoes
in
Egypt
,
the
Ptolomeys
in
Gréece
,
the
Cesars
in
Rome
.
Now
people
strangers
finding
the
Countrey
very
pleasant
to
inhabite
,
take
vp
their
aboade
and
content
themselues
there
to
liue
and
die
.
The
end
of
their
trauell
is
not
so
much
for
curiosity
,
necessity
or
pleasure
,
as
for
their
experience
and
learning
:
The

I
will
bréefely
set
downe
as

most
directly
for

Latitude
of

Britaine
,
and
generally
for
the
whole

The

day
then
that
they
leaue
their
owne
natiue
Countrey
,
&
begin
to
enter
the
Dominions
of
Don-Purloyningo
,
they
passe
along
a
very
faire
Meddow
,
passing
pleasant
to
the
eye
,
which
is
in
the
confines
and
vttermost
part
of
Foolania
the
lesse
:
but
after
halfe
a
daies
iourney
,
they
come
to
bogs
and
quagmyres
,
much
like
to
them
in
Ireland
,
of
which
vnlesse
they
be
very
carefull
,
they
may
quickly
slippe
vp
ouer

and
eares
in

.
The

Hauing
past
the
pikes
of

,
they
enter
into
a
goodly
faire
Pallace
,
but
inhabited
by
few
,
hauing
this
superscription
ouer
the
gates
,
A
Ethiopen
lauas
,
whereupon
our
English
Trauellers
call
it
the
Labour-in-Vaine
:
here
many
at
the
first
are
purposed
to
remaine
and
abide
:
but
séeing
the
place
very
spatious
and
without
any
Inhabitants
,
and
vsed
onely
as
a
Tap-house
for
Trauellers
,
they
take
it
for
their
lodging
the
first
night
,
and
away
they
hast
in
the
morning
forward
on
their
iourney
.
The
second
day
after
thrée
or
foure
myle
,
they
ascend
very
high
and
craggy
Mountaines
,
The

iourney

wher
when
they

downe
againe
,
at
the
foote
of

standeth
yet
at

,
the

In
the
middle
of
this

is
built
a
very
faire
Citie
called
(
Vanita
)
beautifull
to
the
eye
,
but
of
no

for
it
is

after
such

The

Lord
,
it
would
aske
a

for

they
are
dissolute
in

doggish

and
Swinish

according
to
the

,
flattering

deceitfull
in

and
in
Oathes
not
a

can
surpasse

In

sin
they
abound
,
because
with
them
they
haue
a

Our

Among
the
rest
,
this
is
to
be
noted
,
that
in
the
midst
of
this
City
there
issueth
out
of
the
earth
,
a
spring
in
great
abundance
,
which
is
walled
about
with
Marble
,
and
serueth
the
Inhabitants
to
bathe
and
wash
themselues
,
much
like
to
our
bathes
here
in
Europe
,
onely
it
is
of
another
operation
:
The
people
there
call
this
bath
Tribulamenti
fons
;
&
it
runneth
from
thence
with
a
swift
course
along
the
fieldes
and
wayes
with
a
thousand
turnings
and
wyndings
,
vntill
it
come
to
a
stéepe
promontory
,
that
ouerlooketh
all
the
countrey
of
Theuingen
,
Lecheritania
,
and
the
rest
,
and
there
maketh
so
great
and
violent
a
fall
,
that
it
spreadeth
it selfe
,
and
runneth
round
about
the
Countries
by
diuers
small
créekes
and
Riuers
,
where
méeting
with
other
small
Springs
of
the
same
nature
,
run
altogether
,
as
by
one
consent
into
the
Sea
called
Mare
Discontentaneum

Leauing
this
City
as
well
as
you
can

you
passe
a
whole
day
along
towards
Theuingen
,
crossing
this
Riuer
twenty
times
ouer
strait
and
narrow
bridges
,
vntil
you
come
to
this
stéepe
and
high
Mountaine
before
spoken
of
:
vpon
the
edge
whereof
,
dwelleth
an
old
Hermit
called
father
Aduisall
,
a
man
aged
and
of
long
continuance
,
and
therefore
well
experienced
in
the
world
:
a
hater
of
flattery
,
and
a
louer
of
truth
.
As
soone
as
you
come
to
that
place
,
this
new
wel-willer
of
yours
will
straight
be
in
hand
with
you
to
know
from
whence
you
came
,
whither
you
meane
to
goe
in
so
dangerous
a
place
,
and
in
méere
loue
and
pitty
wil
be
Inquisitiue
how
you
durst
trauell
without
a
warrant
from
the
Magistrate
of
your
Countrey
,
perswading
you
by
all
meanes
,
to
returne
back
,
and
not
venture
your
life
in
so
dangerous
a
Countrey
as
that
is
,
telling
you
that
fewe
returne
backe
the
same
men
they
were
,
when
they
first
entred
that
land
,
but
that
some
returne
maymed
and
lame
,
others
sicke
of
one
disease
or
other
,
and
others
of
frenzie
and
madnesse
,
so
contaminat
a
place
,
so
loathsome
the
manners
,
so
despised
a
Countrey
,
that
a
man
vnlesse
he
were
halfe
besides
himselfe
would
neuer
once
desire
to
beholde
that
place
.
Thus
,
and
to
this
effect
will
he
speake
,
and
many
good
perswasions
will
this
good
old
man
vse
,

many
motiues
he
will
vrge
you
with
to
retire

all
in

for
when

leauing

And

so
is
the

that
you

we
wil
take
our

toward
Don

Pallace
:
this
onely
by

way
;
about
tenne
myles
from
the
foote
of
this

in
Lecheritania
standeth
the
Temple
of

,
and
there
is
the
goodly

of

framed
of

,
naked
in
her
Chariot
,
drawne
by
two
Swannes

,
her

not

is
likewise
to
be
séene
the
Storie
of

her
originall
,
liuely
painted
out
,
how
Saturne
depriued
his
father
Caelus
,
of
those

which
were

for

wherof
falling
short
,
sell
into
the
land
of

.
which
Countrey
we
are
now
about
;
of
which
sprange
fierce
,
hote
,
and
cruell
people
,
with
which
at
this
day
the
land
is
mightily
replenished
and
pestered
.
The
originall
of
these
peopple
.
Concerning
the
originall
and
beginning
of
these
people
,
Historiographers
doe
differ
and
disagrée
:
Leo
Hebreus
out
of
the
auncient
Poet
Pronapides
,
reports
that
Demogorgon
perceiued
that
a
dangerous
and
pernitious
tumult
was
bréeding
in
the
bowels
of
Chaos
:
wherfore
of
very
loue
and
pitie
,
he
stretched
out
his
hand
and
opened
her
womb
,
whence
presently
issued
forth
a
most
deformed
issue
called
Litigium
,
which
no
sooner
appeared
but
presently
it
bred
brabbles
,
and
made
such
a
foule
sturre
,
that
it
waxed
proude
,
and
stroue
so
mount
vp
to
heauen
:
but
Demogorgon
soreséeing
what
would
ensue
,
threwe
him
downe
with
his
necke
forward
into
this
Countrey
.
But
others
more
likely
,
report
that
they
came
of
Neptune
and
Iphimedea
,
which
very
well
may
be
,
for
Neptunes
brood
is
furious
and
vnruely
,
by
reason
of
the
superabundant
store
of
vnbridled
humors
,
and
Iphimedea
is
nothing
else
but
an
obstinate
and
selfe-wil'd
conceit
,
and
desire
;
grounded
in
the
minde
,
and
not
remoueable
:
such
are
your
idle
vagabonds
,
that
after
war
wil
betake
themselues
to
no
honest
course
of
life
to
liue
in
,
but
bee
robbers
by
the
high
waies
,
cousoners
and
cony-catchers
,
that
liue
by
their
wits
,
and
wil
not
betake
them
to
honest
trades
,
but
especially
seditious
&
rebellious
subiects
in
a
Common-wealth
,
schismatical
and
hereticall
seducers
in
the
Church
,
as
Brownists
,
Papists
,
Iesuites
and
such
like
.
And
for
this
cause
as
there
was
a
Schoole
erected
for
villaines
in
times
past
called
Cacademica
Lycaon
,
so
called
because
hee
was
the
first
that
did
violate
the
lawes
of
truce
,
and
league
,
by
killing
and
sacrificing
vnto
Iupiter
a
certaine
hostrage
,
sent
from
the
Molessi
,
whereof
came
the
fable
,
that
he
set
mans
flesh
before
.
Iupiter
,
to
trie
whether
he
were
a
God
or
no
:
So
the
Pope
now
hath
erected
another
,
because
this
was
not
large
enough
called
(
Sattani
Senatus
)
wherein
is
taught
the
arte
of
stabbing
,
poysoning
,
betraying
,
periury
,
treason
in
all
degrées
,
blowing
vp
and
consuming
by
Gun-powder
,
Wichcraft
and
Sorcery
,
Sodemytry
and
Buggerie
,
torments
for
innocents
.
And
in
truth
for
the
archieuing
and
bringing
to
passe
of
all
mischiefe
:
so
that
now
if
any
be
so
minded
to
murder
his
Prince
,
Father
or
Mother
,
friend
,
wife
or
any
else
,
he
shal
be

The
fourth
dayes
Iourney
fearefull
sights
and
Monsters
.
After
a
daies
iourney
,
you
shall
come
into
desarts
and
solitary
Woodes
,
wherein
you
shall
sée
very
strange
and
fearefull
sights
,
and
apparitions
:
there
will
appear
to
you
monsters
that
haue
faces
and
bodies
comely
like
to
women
,
ready
to
allure
and
entice
you
with
them
,
but
their
lower
partes
are
vgly
and
deformed
,
hauing
vpon
their
handes
and
féete
sharpe
clasping
clawes
,
that
if
they
once
graspe
you
,
you
shall
hardly
escape
their
clutches
.
And
if
they
seaze
on
you
,
they
wil
bring
you
out
of
the
way
,
through
distraught
and
seare
,
vntill
you
méete
another
company
more
horrid
and
terrible
:
Their
Haire
all
of
crawling
snakes
,
their
garments
down
to
the
héeles
,
close
girt
with
a
snakie
girdle
,
serpents
in
the
one
hand
and
firebrands
in
the
other
,
their
eyes
,
face
,
and
téeth
portending
malice
and
vengeance
.
these
are
the
ministers
of
death
,
they
dwell
in
darke
dennes
thereabout
,
their
office
is
to
bring
such
passengers
as
trauell
that
way
to
a
most
vnspeakeable
horryd
denne
,
out
of
which
procéedes
so
noysome
an
exhalation
,
that
birds
as
they
flie
ouer
the
same
are
poysoned
with
the
very
breath
and
ayze
thereof
.
Auernus
▪
This
is
that
place
which
in
the
old
world
was
called
Auernus
,
round
about
which
,
and
at
the
entrance
of
which
Caue
,
Virgill
6.
Aenead

placeth
a
rablement
,
as
woe
,
vengeance
,
wrath
,
sickenes
,
old

,
feare
,
famine
,
penury
,
death
,
labour
,
sléepe
,
warre
,
discord
and
such
like
:
in
the
midst
of
this
Caue
,
is
seated
an
Imperiall
Throane
,
whereon
sittes
the
blacke
Prince
with
a
crowne
on
his
head
,
a
Scepter
in
his
hand
,
and
his
great
dogge
Cerberus
betwéene
his
féete
,
fawning
on
those
that
to
leaue
this
way
,
if
thou
be
wise
,
take
héede
of
the
first
insinuating
flatterers
,
leaue
their
pretended
friendship
and
kéepe
on
thy
way
.
In
this
Country
nothing
is
worthy
of
praise
or
commendation
,
for
in
all
this
solitary
trauelling
,
you
shall
finde
no
comfort
,
but
the
skriching
of
Owles
,
croking
of
Ratiens
,
and
such
vncoth
and
balefull
Ecchoes
,
the
best
part
of
your
foode
will
be
hearbe
Rue
,
a
bitter
hearbe
to
féede
on
:
but
after
when
you
haue
better
looked
into
your
liues
and
carriages
,
you
wil
cal
it
herb-grace
,
your
drinke
is
altogether
of
the
water
of
that
Countrey
,
called
throughout
Aqua
discontentanea
.
The
fift
dayes
Iourney
.
After
two
or
thrée
daies
thus
trauelling
,
you
shall
come
into
a
faire
plaine
,
called
Knaues-borough
plaine
,
wherein
Don
Purloyningo
kéepes
his
Court
;
you
shall
at
the
first
be
made
very
welcome
,
yet
so
that
they
will
narrowly
spie
into
your
carriage
and
behauiour
:
And
although
they
pretend
neuer
so
greate
loue
and
friendshippe
vnto
you
,
yet
will
they
not
sticke
to
cousen
and
deceiue
you
if
they
can
,
of
all
you
haue
.
And
thus
much
for
the
description
of
the
state
and
situation
of
Theuingen
,
with
the
nature
and
disposition
of
the
people
there
inhabiting
.
And
now
to
giue
ouer
this
tedious
Iourney
,
you
shall
heare
the
protection
of
Don
Purloyningo
,
sent
to
Corporall
Fize
,
chiefe
commander
of
Rogues
,
and
his
Assistantes
.
The
Copy
whereof
is
as
followeth
.
The
copie
of
the
Commission
and
Graunt
,
sent
from
Don
Purloyningo
to
Corporall
Fize
and
his
Assistants
.
I
Don
Purloyningo
,
great
Commander
ouer
the
Prouince
of
Theuingen
,
haue
receiued
diuers
wofull
and
pittifull
letters
from
sundry
nations
and
people
,
but
especially
from
those
vnder
the
gouernment
of
Corporal
Fize
,
chéefe
commander
of
the
poore
persecuted
Pilgrims
in
Europe
,
wherein
they
lay
open
to
mee
their
wofull
sorrowes
,
vexations
,
and
troubles
that
they
endure
by
sundry
persons
,
in
sundry
places
where
they
abide
.
Now
forasmuch
as
it
is
not
onely
a
Charity
,
to
redresse
their
foresaid
griefes
,
by
sending
for
them
into
a
Countrey
where
they
shall
be
at
quiet
and
hearts
ease
,
but
also
a
pleasure
to
people
of
better
fashion
,
that
cannot
by
any
meanes
disgest
their
idle
and
vntoward
liues
,
which
may
proue
hurtfull
both
to
King
and
people
:
Be
it
therefore
knowne
,
that
I
haue
graunted
to
all
persons
whatsoeuer
,
that
will
take
the
benefite
of
this
my
Grant
and
Commission
,
frée
leaue
and
license
to
come
and
inhabite
within
my
Countrey
of
Theuingen
,
and
the
profites
of
my
land
,
to
vse
and
enioy
as
fréely
without
contradiction
,
as
if
they
were
there
bred
and
borne
.
Now
for
the
more
spéedie
execution
of
the
same
,
we
command
all
Saylers
as
well
within
our
Iurisdiction
,
as
without
,
that
they
make
present
search
for
all
olde
Boates
,
Hoyes
,
Shippes
and
Barkes
,
which
haue
long
rested
to
be
ready
for
this
voyage
;
and
that
all
thinges
be
in
a
readinesse
,
to
the
end
that
when
they
are
in
a
good
minde
,
they
may
be
gone
,
that
neuer
after
any
good
land
be
troubled
and
combred
with
so
filthy
and
noysom
a
people
.
And
that
all
Carmen
,
Cochmen
,
and
Carters
haue
their
charge
in
a
readinesse
at
a
day
,
that
they
may
bee
carried
in
pompe
to
the
water
sides
:
and
that
all
Trumpeters
,
Bagpipers
,
Fidlers
and
Drummers
be
ready
with
their
musique
to
bring
them
onward
of
their
iourney
.
Moreouer
we
commaund
all
Iaylors
to
open
their
prison
doores
,
and
let
them
all
out
that
meane
to
sée
my
Dominions
,
and
that
neuer
hereafter
they
once
suffer
any
to
come
within
their
hold
or
Iurisdiction
:
and
further
vpon
their
departure
we
will
all
inuentions
for
punishments
appointed
for
the
torturing
of
such
persons
be
immediately
pulled
downe
,
cut
in
péeces
,
and
be
made
in
Bon-fires
,
for
ioy
that
the
land
is
disburdened
of
so
loathsome
a
people
.
And
further
we
expresly
commaund
that
the
Saylers
and
Marriners
(
because
we
know
them
to
be
hasty
and
surly
)
to
vse
them
kindly
,
and
not
by
any
means
to
crosse
them
,
least
they
take
snuffe
in
the
nose
,
and
so
fall
together
by
the
eares
:
for
they
being
very
cholericke
(
as
we
haue
heard
)
are
subiect
to
disagréeing
.
And
that
at
their
arriuall
,
they
be
presently
placed
euery
one
according
to
his
degrée
,
and
that
with
quietnes
they
receiue
the
profites
of
my
land
,
without
the
let
of
those
,
that
haue
béene
dead
fiue
hundred
yeares
before
.
Further
that
no
man
mocke
or
delude
them
,
or
so
much
as
bid
them
farewell
,
for
feare
that
a
little
familiarity
cause
them
to
haue
a
desire
to
remaine
and
tarry
rather
then
to
walke
:
but
let
them
haue
quiet
passing
,
because
they
goe
to
a
land
better
for
their
turnes
,
for
they
desire
only
ease
,
which
there
they
shall
haue
,
if
once
they
can
arriue
and
get
to
the
borders
thereof
.
These
our
Letters
and
Commission
now
at
your
request
graunted
,
our
desire
is
,
that
you
may
doe
well
,
if
otherwise
betyde
you
then
well
,
looke
to
your selues
,
and
vse
your
owne
discretions
;
and
so
fare
you
well
.
At
this
newes
the
whole
fraternity
of
Vagabonds
whooted
for
ioy
,
as
glad
at
the
heart
to
thinke
what
a
swaggering
and
dominéering
they
should
kéepe
in
this
new
foundland
,
and
wherein
they
made
account
to
be
young
Lords
and
Masters
:
so
that
the
poore
honest
Belman
had
license
without
any
controlement
or
contradiction
to
depart
:
and
if
he
would
spit
out
any
more
his
malice
against
them
,
let
him
spit
till
hee
were
drye
for
them
,
for
they
would
little
regard
what
he
did
,
and
cared
not
two
chips
,
because
they
were
determined
to
trauell
,
and
meant
to
be
out
of
the
walkes
and
dangers
of
the
honest
.
Now
Gentlemen
(
by
my
troth
)
I
could
finde
in
my
heart
to
haue
spent
a
bottle
of
Ale
,
that
you
had
béene
there
with
me
,
to
haue
seene
the
concourse
of
these
Catterpillers
,
and
heard
the
confused
noyse
of
these
cousening
Crack-ropes
,
singing
,
hollowing
and
whooping
,
dancing
and
whistling
:
at
this
time
there
you
should
haue
seene
one
that
had
béene
lame
néere
fortie
yeares
,
and
gone
on
his
Crowches
fiftéene
to
my
knowledge
,
throw
away
his
stilts
,
and
daunce
the
round
Morrice
:
there
another
that
puttes
on
a
foule
cloth
on
his
head
counterfeiting
the
falling-sicknesse
,
throw
it
away
in
a
corner
,
and
falles
to
swagger
with
his
Doxie
:
here
anther
with
pitifull
sore
legges
and
armes
to
sée
to
,
can
now
leape
and
wrastle
as
well
as
the
best
,
and
diuers
with
scalde
pates
and
other
diseases
going
before
double
in
the
stréetes
,
to
cause
and
moue
pitty
,
can
now
for
ioy
stand
on
their
heads
,
fetch
friskes
about
the
house
,
pull
one
another
by
the
eares
:
and
indéede
what
did
they
not
doe
?
none
could
perceiue
but
that
they
were
all
youthfull
and
lusty
.
Hoist
vp
saylors
,
the
drummers
and
pipers
are
at
hand
,
lay
plancks
,
make
ready
,
they
come
,
they
come
:
A
iolly
crue
,
God
send
they
want
no
shipping
:
A
faire
company
I
promise
you
,
when
they
are
all
gone
,
we
shal
haue
corn
good
cheape
,
Ware
your
purses
hoe
,
All
tooke
all
pleasure
,
and
all
for
ioy
to
be
sayling
.
Suppose
now
by
this
the
greatest
part
of
them
are
sayling
on
the
blacke
Sea
,
what
will
become
of
them
,
how
they
arriued
,
how
entertained
by
the
Inhabitants
there
,
and
of
their
prosperous
voyage
,
you
shall
heare
at
the
next
boat-post
.
In
the
meane
time
,
because
the
Belman
entreateth
any
that
is
more
rich
in
canting
,
to
lend
him
better
or
more
with
variety
,
he
will
repay
his
loue
double
:
I
haue
thought
good
not
only
to
shew
his
errour
in
some
places
in
setting
downe
olde
wordes
vsed
fortie
yéeres
agoe
before
he
was
borne
;
for
wordes
that
are
vsed
in
these
dayes
(
although
he
is
bold
to
call
me
an
vsurper
(
for
so
he
doth
in
his
last
round
)
and
not
able
to
maintayne
the
title
)
But
haue
enlarged
his
Dictionary
(
or
Master
Harmans
)
with
such
wordes
as
I
thinke
hée
neuer
heard
of
(
and
yet
in
vse
too
)
but
not
out
of
vaine
glorie
,
as
his
ambition
is
,
but
indéede
as
an
experienced
souldier
that
hath
déerely
paid
for
it
:
and
therefore
it
shall
be
honour
good
enough
for
him
(
if
not
too
good
)
to
come
vp
with
the
Reare
(
I
doe
but
shoote
your
owne
arrow
backe
againe
)
and
not
to
haue
the
leading

Van

he
meanes
to
doe
,
although
small
credite
in
the
end
will
redound
to

Chates

here

mistakes
both

so
found

not

orginall
thereof

also

for

generally

that

As

thus
after
a

a

in

by

a
clapper
dudgeon
for
a
pinte
of
Ale
,
who
as
soone
as

was

they
left

fell

mocke

.

The
Clapper

dares

But
when

out

Tipp

And
thus
hath
the
Bel
man
through
his
pitifull
ambition
caused
me
to
write
that
I
would
not
:
And
wheras
he
disclaims
the
name
of
Brother-hood
,
I
here
vtterly
renounce
him
&
his

,
as
not
desirous

he
professeth

subiect
,
knowing

to
be
as
fully
instructed
herein
as
euer
he
was
.
But
hereof
enough
,
if
not
more
then
enough
:
I
meane
now
to
shew
the
originall
and
beginning
of
these
people
,
when
they
began
to
gather
to
an
head
,
and
how
they
first
came
vp
.
The
Runnagates
Race
,
or
the
Originall
of
Regiment
of
Rogues
,
when
they
first
began
to
take
head
,
and
how
they
haue
succeeded
one
the
other
successiuely
,
vntill
about
the
sixe
and
twentieth
yeare
of
King
HENRY
the
eight
,
collected
out
of
the
Legend
of
LOSSELS
.
AT
what
time
King
Henry
the
sixt
of
famous
memorie
bare
rule
ouer
the
Britanes
,
there
was
one
Iohn
Mendal
(
alias
Iack
Cade
)
an
Irish
man
,
29.
K.H.
6.
that
named
himselfe
by
the
name
of
Iohn
Mortimer
,
cousen
to
the
Duke
of
Yorke
,
whereupon
hee
gathering
together
a
great
company
out
of
Kent
,
assured
and
perswaded
them
,
that
the
enterprise
he
tooke
in
hand
,
was
both
honourable
to
God
and
the
King
,
and
profitable
to
the
whole
Realme
:
the
Kentish
men
moued
with
these
perswasions
and
other
faire
promises
,
marched
to
blacke
heath
,
where
they
lay
for
a
month
pilling
the
Countrey
round
about
.
At
the
same
time
,
which
was
about
one
thousand
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
,
two
vnruly
fellowes
(
the
one
named
Blewbeard
,
the
other
Hugh
Roberts
)
which
were
lately
come
ouer
from
France
,
who
had
béen
souldiers
vnder
the
Duke
of
Somerset
and
the
Earle
of
Shrewsbury
in
the
winning
and
loosing
of
Constance
,
Guysons
,
Roane
and
diuers
other
Cities
in
France
:
the
which
Blewbeard
in
a
Commotion
,
shortly
after
he
came
ouer
,
being
made
their
Captaine
,
Roberts
the
first
Commander
.
before
he
had
attempted
any
thing
at
all
,
was
taken
and
executed
:
But
Roberts
kéeping
in
Kent
,
gathered
a
number
of
Rakehels
and
Vagabonds
together
to
the
number
of
an
hundred
in
that
Countrey
,
to
whom
likewise
masterlesse
men
after
they
heard
of
his
fame
,
came
cluttering
on
heapes
,
so
that
he
had
in
a
short
space
to
the
number
of
fiue
hundred
followers
.
These
sturdie
Vagabonds
ioyning
with
Iacke
Mendall
in
this
rebellion
,
march
toward
London
,
and
enter
Southwarke
,
and
there
lodged
at
the
white
Harte
for
a
night
or
two
,
prohibiting
al
from
Rape
,
robery
and
murder
,
the
more
to
allure
the
hearts
of
the
people
to
fauour
his
enterprise
.
After
,
they
come
into
London
,
and
there
they
play
Rex
.
and
returne
backe
into
Southwarke
againe
,
where
,
after
many
conflicts
betwéene
them
and
the
Citizens
,
the
Kings
pardon
was
proclaimed
:
at
which
hearing
,
the
poore
people
were
so
glad
,
and
so
ready
to
receiue
it
,
that
without
bidding
farewell
to
their
Captaines
,
withdrew
themselues
euery
man
towards
his
owne
home
.
Iack
Mendall
despairing
of
succours
,
and
fearing
the
reward
of
his
lewd
dealings
,
fled
away
into
the
woods
.
But
Proclamation
made
,
that
whosoeuer
could
bring
Iacke
aliue
or
dead
to
the
King
,
should
haue
a
thousand
Markes
for
his
paines
,
was
after
slaine
by
a
Gentleman
in
Kent
,
and
so
brought
to
the
King
.
But
Roberts
kept
himselfe
in
the
woods
closely
a
long
time
after
,
although
not
with
so
great
a
company
as
he
had
before
,
and
there
liued
by
robbing
and
spoyling
in
the
night
,
and
kept
themselues
close
in
all
the
day
.
And
thus
by
the
space
of
a
twelue
moneth
,
they
passed
their
time
in
villany
,
robbing
and
spoyling
the
Country
people
of
their
poultry
,
pigges
and
other
sustenance
,
wherewith
they
sustained
themselues
and
their
families
.
In
which
time
he
set
downe
lawes
and
customes
to
be
kept
and
obserued
among
them
,
and
to
kéepe
them
in
awe
and
fashion
,
who
are
prone
of
themselues
to
liue
out
of
all
rule
and
fashion
.
-
1
First
he
appointed
that
of
euery
thing
that
they
got
,
he
had
first
the
taking
and
leauing
of
the
best
thereof
at
his
pleasure
.
-
2
That
if
any
of
their
fellowes
could
not
purchase
any
victuals
or
necessities
for
foode
that
night
,
that
then
they
shold
be
in
commons
with
the
rest
the
day
following
.
-
3
That
no
robbery
or
violence
bee
vsed
vpon
any
man
within
foure
miles
of
the
wood
,
or
the
place
of
their
aboade
.
-
4
That
none
be
so
hardy
,
as
to
run
to
the
wood
for
succor
or
reléefe
,
after
he
hath
perpetrated
any
thing
,
lest
that
hugh
and
crie
follow
,
and
so
discrie
the
whole
company
.
Thus
after
a
yeare
and
vpward
was
spent
by
them
in
this
sort
,
they
brake
vp
their
Campe
,
and
Proclamation
was
made
,
to
méete
there
in
that
place
euery
thrée
yeares
for
a
memoriall
,
if
they
then
liued
:
In
the
meane
time
they
spread
themselues
abroad
in
the
Countrey
,
some
remaining
there
,
others
trauelling
North-ward
,
and
ioyne
themselues
with
the
Duke
of
Yorke
,
and
generally
in
all
Commotions
and
rebellions
.
These
in
memory
of
there
first
acquaintance
and
loue
to
their
new
found
Captaine
,
called
themselues
by
the
name
of
Roberts-men
,
as
the
seruants
of
Hugh
Roberts
their
Commaunder
.
This
Roberts
liued
rouing
vp
&
down
the
country
for
the
space
of
ten
years
:
in
which
time
he
kept
his
Court
daies
as
himselfe
listed
,
and
in
which
time
there
came
to
him
diuers
new
followers
,
and
as
some
decayed
and
died
,
some
hanged
&
dead
of
the
poxe
(
for
to
that
end
they
all
come
)
so
others
succéeded
in
their
places
.
In
the
first
yeare
of
Edward
the
fourth
,
this
Roberts
in
the
warres
against
Henry
the
sixt
in
the
North
partes
(
who
was
deposed
)
was
there
slaine
,
besides
36776.
persons
all
Englishmen
.
Hereupon
presently
(
their
late
Captaine
now
dead
)
all
that
were
left
aliue
of
this
company
,
hye
themselues
to
their
wonted
place
of
méeting
,
where
,
by
the
generall
assent
,
they
chose
one
(
Ienkin
Cowdiddle
)
to
bee
their
ring-leader
.
This
Ienkin
Cowdiddle
was
a
man
giuen
much
to
swearing
,
drunkennesse
and
lechery
:
Ienkin
Cowdiddle
.
2.
he
was
neuer
out
of
England
as
souldier
or
traueller
,
but
from
his
first
beginning
he
continued
a
wandring
rogue
,
he
was
stout
of
stomacke
,
audacious
and
fierce
,
hee
was
knowne
to
all
the
damned
crew
for
a
boone
companion
,
and
therefore
chosen
as
fittest
for
their
Captaine
:
hee
first
ordained
,
that
none
were
so
hardy
as
to
haue
the
vndooing
of
a
maid
wanderer
,
or
any
thing
to
do
with
her
,
vnlesse
first
she
were
brought
to
him
to
be
broken
vp
,
or
to
some
of
his
assignes
,
that
could
obtain
the
same
of
him
by
friendship
or
bribery
.
Hee
commaunded
likewise
that
all
beggers
should
spend
all
their
gettings
in
the
day
past
,
A
Custome
.
in
good
Béere
or
Ale
at
night
,
or
at
the
fardest
by
saterday
night
:
and
if
any
were
found
or
knowne
to
haue
aboue
two
pence
half
peny
in
his
purse
on
munday
morning
,
he
shold
forfeit
a
dousen
of
béere
,
to
any
whatsoeuer
of
their
company
would
challenge
it
.
He
exercised
his
commaund
about
tenne
yeares
,
vntill
the
time
that
the
great
rebellion
and
vprore
was
in
the
Western
parts
,
as
Summersetshire
,
Wilshire
,
Dorset-shire
and
Cornewall
,
about
the
crowning
of
Prince
Edw
.
son
to
K.
H.
6.
who
had
béen
all
this
while
in
France
:
and
this
fell
out
about
the
11.
yeare
of
Edw
.
4.
then
this
Ienkin
Cowdiddle
accompanied
with
300.
tottered
knaues
,
Edw
.
4.11
.
yeer
1471.
ioyned
in
battell
against
the
K.
with
the
westerne
men
,
in
which
battell
at
Teuxbury
he
was
slaine
,
and
buried
there
with
the
rest
of
the
dead
bodies
.
The
battel
ended
,
these
Robert-men
(
for
so
they
were
termed
a
long
time
after
)
hye
them
to
their
Kandauow
,
their
vsuall
and
knowne
place
,
Spising
3.
and
there
with
the
full
consent
of
the
whole
company
,
They
chose
one
Spysing
to
be
his
successour
.
And
now
when
as
the
feast
and
solemnizing
of
this
new
made
squire
was
newly
ended
,
news
was
brought
to
this
Spising
,
how
that
one
Thomas
Neuell
sonne
to
Fankenbridge
(
who
had
béene
at
Sea
as
a
Pirate
,
and
robbed
diuers
Merchants
)
was
newly
arriued
in
England
,
and
got
a
great
company
of
Marriners
out
of
all
parts
of
the
land
,
and
many
traytors
and
misgouerned
people
to
follow
him
,
whereunto
as
fitly
for
his
turne
this
Spising
accompanies
and
enters
into
league
and
familiarity
,
besides
diuers
also
forth
of
other
Countries
that
delighted
in
theft
and
robberies
.
And
now
his
strength
encreased
daily
,
for
hauing
bin
at
Callice
,
and
brought
from
thence
into
Kent
many
euill
disposed
persons
,
he
began
to
gather
his
power
in
that
Country
,
meaning
to
attempt
some
great
and
wicked
enterprise
against
King
Edward
and
his
Kingdome
,
but
his
quarrell
he
pretended
,
was
to
haue
King
Henry
the
sixt
out
of
the
Towre
,
and
to
restore
him
to
his
Scepter
againe
.
Thus
accompanied
with
seuentéene
thousand
men
,
they
marched
into
London
by
shippes
which
lay
betwéene
Blacke
wall
and
Redriffe
:
and
then
came
Spising
with
his
hand
at
Algate
,
who
behaued
themselues
stoutly
,
that
they
wan
the
Bulwarke
there
,
and
draue
the
Citizens
backe
within
the
Port
cullis
,
and
entred
the
gate
with
them
to
the
number
of
a
dousen
;
but
some
of
them
were
slaine
with
the
fall
of
the
Port
cullis
,
that
was
let
downe
vpon
them
to
kéepe
the
residue
out
:
but
those
that
were
within
the
wals
was
suddenly
dispatcht
.
To
be
short
,
at
last
the
Bastard
was
vanquished
and
vtterly
dispaired
;
for
hearing
the
King
comming
with
thirtie
thousand
men
,
durst
stay
no
longer
,
but
brake
vp
and
dispersed
themselues
some
one
way
,
and
some
another
.
The
Bastard
with
his
Mariners
and
such
rebels
,
robbers
&
wicked
persons
,
as
sought
nothing
but
spoile
,
got
them
to
Ship-board
as
fast
as
they
could
.
Those
that
were
left
behinde
,
and
those
of
Spysings
company
lurked
a
day
or
two
about
the
Contrey
secretly
in
woods
,
vntill
they
thought
the
coastes
to
be
clear
,
and
after
met
at
their
wonted
place
,
where
they
,
as
merry
as
pot
and
canne
passe
their
time
in
villany
and
robbery
.
This
Spising
was
a
man
giuen
to
voluptuousnesse
,
pleasure
,
and
delight
in
Bowsing
and
Venery
:
He
ordered
,
that
euery
one
that
professed
himselfe
a
Wanderer
,
and
taking
vpon
him
the
occupation
of
begging
,
shal
be
stauled
to
the
order
of
rogues
;
that
is
,
A
Custome
.
hee
shall
bee
brought
to
the
chiefe
Commander
then
being
,
and
there
he
shall
shew
the
cause
of
his
going
abroad
,
and
what
Countrey
man
he
is
:
which
done
,
he
payes
a
dousen
of
béere
as
a
fine
for
his
fréedome
and
Instaulment
,
and
so
is
permitted
to
liue
and
die
a
rogue
:
but
if
he
be
borne
a
rogue
:
that
is
,
if
his
Grandfather
were
one
,
so
that
consequently
he
must
be
one
also
,
such
a
one
shall
bee
fréely
discharged
from
such
enstaulement
,
as
being
made
frée
by
his
fathers
copie
.
This
Spising
about
the
first
yeare
of
King
Edward
the
fift
,
committed
a
robbery
and
murder
(
néere
High-gate
in
Middlesex
)
where
after
he
fledde
and
tooke
sanctuary
at
Westminster
,
K.
Edw
.
5.3
,
1483.
for
these
places
in
that
time
were
wonderfully
abused
by
wicked
men
:
rablements
of
Théeues
,
Murderers
and
Traytors
would
thither
flocke
when
they
had
atchieued
any
villany
,
vnthrifts
ryot
and
runne
in
debt
vpon
boldnesse
of
these
places
,
rich
men
runne
thither
with
poore
mens
goods
;
there
they
build
and
there
they
spend
,
and
bid
their
creditors
goe
whistle
,
mens
wiues
runne
thither
with
their
husbands
plate
,
and
say
they
dare
not
abide
with
their
husbands
,
for
feare
of
beating
:
Theeues
bring
in
thither
their
stolne
goods
,
and
there
liue
vpon
them
vntill
al
is
spent
,
and
when
nothing
is
left
,
they
againe
in
the
night
range
abroad
to
séeke
other
booties
:
there
they
deuise
new
plots
to
rob
and
kill
,
and
then
to
come
in
again
at
their
pleasure
:
so
those
places
did
not
only
giue
them
safegard
for
their
villanies
,
but
a
license
also
to
do
more
.
Such
a
one
was
this
Spysing
for
a
yeare
or
two
before
he
was
hanged
;
for
being
taken
the
second
time
at
Womburne
in
Stafford
shire
,
for
killing
a
man
in
a
drunken
humour
,
was
presently
apprehended
,
and
carried
to
the
Goale
,
and
after
hanged
all
saue
the
head
:
he
Dominéered
about
eleuen
yeares
.
Not
long
after
,
when
certaine
newes
was
blased
abroad
of
their
Captaines
confusion
,
they
chose
a
notable
swaggering
rogue
called
Puffing
Dicke
,
to
reuell
ouer
them
,
Puffing
Dicke
the
fourth
.
who
plaid
reuell
rout
with
them
indéede
:
in
this
Squire
there
were
no
villanies
left
vnattempted
,
but
he
was
still
at
the
one
end
.
He
first
gaue
termes
to
robbers
by
the
high
way
,
that
such
as
robbe
on
horse-backe
were
called
high
lawyers
,
2.
Sorts
of
robbers
by
the
way
.
The
first
sort
.
and
those
who
robbed
on
foote
,
he
called
Padders
:
the
difference
of
these
two
sorts
of
villanes
is
this
.
The
first
sort
are
called
Gent
.
robbers
or
théeues
;
and
these
ride
on
horses
well
appointed
,
and
goe
in
shew
like
honest
men
:
the
other
robbe
on
fooke
,
and
haue
no
other
helpe
but
a
paire
of
light
héeles
and
a
thicke
woode
,
Concerning
the
first
sort
,
that
delight
in
the
credite
of
a
high
Lawyer
,
that
with
their
swords
fréeboote
abroad
in
the
countrey
like
Cauileroes
on
horse-backe
,
are
commonly
such
men
,
that
eyther
are
younger
brethren
,
who
being
brought
vp
in
idlenesse
and
gaming
,
when
their
friends
are
dead
,
do
fall
to
this
kind
of
life
to
maintaine
the
maine
chance
:
others
againe
being
left
well
by
their
friends
,
hauing
no
gouernement
of
themselues
,
but
banqueting
with
Whores
,
and
making
late
suppers
,
doe
greatly
impouerish
and
begger
themselues
:
and
when
all
is
spent
after
this
manner
,
and
their
money
wasted
like
snow
against
the
Sunne
:
they
for
their
Vltimum
refugium
,
as
forced
to
vndertake
this
wretched
and
abhorred
profession
,
robbing
honest
poore
men
,
and
taking
all
their
money
from
them
,
yea
and
often
more
then
is
their
owne
,
to
the
vtter
vndoing
of
their
poore
man
,
his
wife
and
children
for
euer
,
who
when
they
haue
it
,
wast
it
as
vainly
as
they
wickedly
purchast
it
.
And
others
,
that
hauing
béene
souldiers
when
they
come
from
the
warres
,
eyther
by
breaking
vp
of
the
Campe
,
or
by
running
away
from
their
colours
to
sée
their
friends
,
or
what
way
soeuer
,
cannot
betake
themselues
to
any
honest
trade
of
life
,
but
louing
to
liue
in
idlenesse
,
betake
themselues
to
robbing
and
stealing
,
vntill
they
be
taken
and
carried
westward
there
to
make
their
rehersall
.
These
fellowes
first
that
they
may
not
be
knowne
,
bespeake
and
get
such
artificial
beards
and
heads
of
haire
,
that
although
you
ride
,
dine
,
and
sup
with
them
from
day
to
day
,
you
shall
not
be
able
to
discerne
them
,
nor
espie
their
falshood
.
And
in
this
practise
all
their
villany
consists
:
for
I
haue
heard
and
partly
know
a
high-way
lawyer
rob
a
man
in
the
morning
,
and
hath
dined
with
the
martin
or
honest
man
so
robbed
the
same
day
at
an
Inne
being
not
descried
,
nor
yet
once
mistrusted
or
suspected
for
the
robbery
.
Their
knauery
is
on
this
manner
;
they
haue
alwaies
good
geldings
and
trusty
,
which
they
can
make
Curtailes
when
they
list
,
and
againe
set
too
large
tailes
,
hanging
to
the
fetlockes
at
their
pleasure
,
yea
and
so
artificially
,
that
it
shall
not
be
perceiued
or
spied
of
the
Ostler
that
dresseth
them
:
besides
they
haue
clokes
Tormosant
,
as
they
call
them
,
made
with
two
out-sides
,
that
weare
them
howsoeuer
the
right
side
will
bee
alwaies
outward
:
now
their
artificiall
beards
and
heads
of
haire
withall
,
will
make
them
séeme
to
dance
in
a
net
a
long
time
ere
they
be
espied
.
Now
how
easie
it
is
for
them
to
escape
all
dangers
,
all
Hues
and
Cries
,
it
may
easily
be
perceiued
,
for
the
complexion
of
the
man
,
and
his
beard
,
the
garments
that
he
weares
,
and
the
making
of
his
horse
,
thrée
things
which
are
the
especiall
markes
whereby
notice
is
taken
to
make
enquiry
:
which
being
chaunged
and
altered
,
they
may
escape
as
safely
as
they
did
the
robbery
.
The
other
sort
of
robbers
,
that
hauing
no
meanes
to
relieue
them
,
in
stead
of
swift
courses
to
eschue
danger
,
flie
away
vpon
their
trustie
tenn-toes
into
woodes
and
close
places
,
there
to
continue
vntill
Hue
and
Crie
bee
past
:
these
fellows
we
are
counterfeit
beards
and
heads
of
haire
,
as
the
other
sort
doe
,
vsing
not
many
words
,
but
Stand
and
deliuer
:
some
will
haue
curst
and
man
kind
Masties
following
them
,
to
further
and
helpe
them
in
this
enterprise
:
some
vnder
the
name
of
the
vpright
man
or
souldier
as
they
goe
through
townes
,
begge
the
charitable
deuotion
of
people
,
they
will
goe
also
strongly
with
thrée
or
foure
in
a
company
to
a
farme
house
,
where
oftentimes
they
are
relieued
more
for
feare
then
deuotion
:
but
when
they
can
come
in
place
where
they
may
conueniently
take
a
purse
,
it
shall
goe
hard
but
that
they
will
eyther
win
the
horse
or
loose
the
saddle
▪
although
their
hardy
aduenture
be
paid
home
with
a
cracke
of
the
best
ioynt
they
haue
after
.
The
first
cousoner
at
dice
.
But
to
returne
againe
to
Puffing
Dicke
;
this
diuell
incarnate
,
as
he
was
bold
to
attempt
any
wicked
enterprise
,
so
he
wanted
not
wit
first
to
lay
the
plot
to
atchieue
it
,
and
to
bring
it
to
passe
.
He
vsed
first
the
cousenage
at
dice
,
and
to
inuent
for
that
purpose
false
dice
,
whereby
he
got
much
money
.
But
as
it
was
ill
got
,
so
was
it
as
ill
spent
in
all
manner
of
vice
that
could
bee
named
,
wherein
he
excelled
all
before
him
:
yet
this
by
the
way
,
it
is
reported
of
him
,
that
he
was
frée
from
murder
,
and
commanded
,
that
whosoeuer
vnder
his
conduct
,
was
so
cruell
as
to
murder
any
man
or
woman
in
the
attempt
of
robbing
them
,
should
forthwith
be
discouered
to
be
apprehended
:
he
likewise
ordered
that
all
high
lawyers
,
padders
,
Lifts
,
Foists
,
Cheaters
or
Cony-catchers
,
A
Custome
.
shal
not
presume
to
purchase
any
landes
or
reuenues
,
nor
whord
vp
their
money
to
the
hinderance
of
good
fellowship
,
maintenance
of
good
natured
damsels
,
and
impeachment
of
the
fraternity
:
but
that
they
shall
heartily
spend
it
,
among
good
company
and
fellowes
,
such
as
themselues
are
,
and
as
they
came
lightly
by
it
,
so
lightly
to
let
it
flie
:
he
was
a
man
crafty
and
bolde
,
yet
he
died
miserably
;
for
after
he
had
commanded
now
fully
eight
years
,
he
had
the
pyning
of
the
Poxe
and
Neapolitane
Scurffe
.
And
here
an
end
of
Puffing
Dicke
.
Lawrence
Crosbiter
5.
The
first
inuenter
of
crosbiting
.
In
his
place
was
chosen
by
the
consent
of
the
rablement
,
one
not
much
inferiour
in
vice
to
the
former
,
but
in
regard
of
manhood
a
méere
crauant
,
called
Lawrence
Crosbiter
,
or
long
Lawrence
.
This
Lawrence
had
béene
brought
vp
all
his
daies
a
Seruing-man
,
and
now
being
about
fiftie
or
thrée
score
,
at
what
time
Seruingmen
are
past
the
best
,
and
commonly
grow
lasie
,
was
cast
out
of
seruice
,
and
so
was
faine
to
liue
among
the
wicked
,
sometimes
a
stander
for
the
padder
,
sometimes
a
verser
for
the
cony-cacher
,
somtimes
a
stale
for
a
foyst
,
but
most
commonly
an
Apple-squire
for
a
trudging
house
:
he
first
vsed
that
art
which
now
is
named
Crosbiting
,
and
from
whose
name
,
this
damned
art
(
Crosbiting
)
tooke
her
first
call
,
as
of
Lawrence
Crosbiter
that
first
inuented
the
same
.
The
manner
in
breefe
is
thus
:
Some
base
rogue
without
the
feare
of
God
or
man
,
that
kéepeth
a
whore
as
a
friend
,
or
marries
one
to
be
his
maintainer
,
consents
or
constraines
those
creatures
to
yéelde
the
vse
of
their
bodies
to
other
men
,
that
so
taking
them
together
,
they
may
strip
the
leacher
of
all
the
money
in
his
purse
or
that
he
can
presently
make
.
He
commaunded
about
sixe
yeares
,
and
then
as
he
liued
in
filthinesse
,
so
was
his
end
,
for
it
was
reported
that
his
bowels
were
eaten
out
with
the
poxe
,
whilst
he
was
yet
aliue
,
so
miserable
was
the
end
of
this
wretch
.
All
these
sixe
yeares
that
this
Lawrence
liued
in
his
controulment
,
he
durst
neuer
be
so
hardy
as
once
to
aide
Perken
Warbeck
,
in
the
attempting
of
the
Crowne
:
so
slauish
was
his
mind
,
and
giuen
to
cowardize
,
for
all
the
time
that
he
bare
rule
among
his
companions
,
which
was
from
1491.
vntil
1497.
did
Perkin
Warbeck
assay
to
win
the
kingdom
,
fayning
himselue
to
bee
the
Duke
of
Yorke
,
son
to
K.
Edw
.
4.
deceased
:
to
the
bringing
to
passe
of
which
deuise
,
he
assayed
many
waies
,
plotted
diuers
deuises
,
and
attempted
mighty
matters
,
and
yet
all
in
vaine
,
for
after
almost
sixe
yeares
(
all
which
time
he
was
busied
about
this
enterprise
)
he
was
taken
prisoner
,
after
he
had
taken
Sanctuary
at
Bewdly
not
farre
from
Southampton
.
To
set
down
the
whole
story
of
this
Perkin
Warbeck
it
would
be
long
,
&
besides
from
the
matter
now
in
hand
:
but
because
the
sequell
of
the
story
a
little
concerneth
vs
,
I
will
bréefely
runne
it
ouer
:
and
thus
it
was
.
Perkin
Warbeck
his
pedegree
.
He
was
a
man
base
of
stocke
,
a
Flemin
by
birth
,
and
prouoked
to
faine
himselfe
the
sonne
of
K.
Edward
4.
by
the
Duches
of
Burgony
,
sister
to
King
Edward
4.
He
first
went
into
Ireland
out
of
Fraunce
,
to
entice
the
Irish
to
rebell
,
after
called
backe
by
the
French
King
to
goe
against
King
Henry
the
seuenth
then
inuading
Fraunce
:
after
this
he
lands
in
Kent
,
purposing
to
prooue
the
people
,
how
they
were
affected
towards
him
:
hereupon
hee
sends
some
of
his
men
out
of
the
Shippes
to
know
their
minds
:
but
they
were
suddenly
taken
by
the
Sheriffe
of
Kent
,
and
railed
in
ropes
like
horses
in
Carts
,
were
adiudged
most
to
be
hanged
;
but
Perkin
hoysts
vp
his
sails
at
these
tydings
,
Sayles
into
Scotland
and
marries
the
Kings
kinsewoman
.
&
away
sailes
he
again
into
Ireland
,
where
he
staies
not
long
,
being
a
place
not
sit
for
his
turne
,
the
people
being
poore
&
naked
,
he
sayles
into
Scotland
,
where
after
a
smooth
long
Oration
,
to
the
King
hee
is
royally
entertained
by
the
said
King
:
afterward

then
go
they
both
against

wasting
all
Northumberland
,
&
committing
many
outrages
and
enormities
:
Retyres
.
but
when
they
saw
no

to

from

they
retire
;
after

much
a
doo
there
was
heere
about
this
enterprise
:
But
when
hee
heard

his
power
,
hee
remooues

,
and
the
King

him
:
He

vppon

hee
flies
to

and
there

thought
to

but
the

being
all

that

could
not

he
was
in
a
great
perplexity
,
came
backe
to
the

of

besides
Richmond
,
and
there
intreats

for
Gods
sake
to
beg

of

:
The
K.
at

request
of
the
Prior
pardoned
him
,
but
was
set
in

at

And
this
is
the

among

Skelton
a
notable
knaue
,
one
of
Perkins
Councellors
before

,
H.

.
being
well
knowne
among
the
Rascalitie
,
was
led
to
the
wonted
place
of
méeting
,
and
there
solemnely
was
stawled
a
rogue
,
and
made
their
generall
.
This
Skelton
was
sometimes
a
Taylor
in
Taunton
in
Sommerset
shire
,
Skelton
6.
who
being
blowne
downe
with
an
vnfortunate
blast
,
was
forc't
and
ready
for
any
Commotion
or
rebellion
:
he
was
of
a
proude
and
haughty
disposition
:
he
liued
in
this
new
Gouernment
vntill
about
the
fourth
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
right
,
which
was
in
the
yeare
1501.
This
fellow
among
other
decrées
and
orders
confirmed
this
:
That
if
any
one
vsing
the
necessary
helpe
of
his
crutches
(
although
indéede
hee
hath
not
any
néede
or
vse
of
them
,
A
custome
.
but
onely
to
deceiue
people
therewith
)
shall
at
any
time
forsake
them
for
a
time
,
either
to
runne
for
a
wager
with
another
,
or
to
play
at
nine
holes
,
loggets
or
bowles
,
or
any
other
game
,
so
that
he
be
séene
and
marked
by
some
that
haue
séene
him
else-where
with
his
crooches

two
dousen
of

,
as
a

for

so
ancient
a
trade
as
peregrination
.
After
him
succéeded
by
the
Generall
Councell
,
one
Cocke
Lorrell
,
Cock
Lorrell
7
K.
H.
8.4.1511
.
the
most
notorious
knaue
that
euer
liued
:
by
trade
he
was
a
Tinker
,
often
carrying
a
panne
and
a
hammer
for
a
shew
:
but
when
he
came
to
a
good
booty
,
he
would
cast
his
profession
in
a
ditch
,
and
play
the
padder
and
then
would
away
,
and
as
hee
past
through
the
towne
,
would
crie
,
Ha
you
any
worke
for
a
Tinker
.
To
write
of
his
knaueries
,
it
would
aske
a
long
time
:
I
referre
you
to
the
old
manuscript
,
remayning
on
record
in
maunders
hall
.
This
was
he
that
reduced
and
brought
in
forme
the
Catalogue
of
Vagabonds
or
quarterne
of
knaues
called
the
fiue
and
twentie
orders
of
knaues
:
The
quarters
of
knaues
made
by
Cock
Lorrell
.
but
because
it
is
extant
and
in
euery
mans
shop
,
I
passe
them
ouer
.
And
now
about
this
time
,
when
as
warres
abroade
,
and
troubles
domesticall
were
ended
,
swarmed
in
euery
part
of
the
land
these
Caterpillers
,
like
slies
against
a
plague
:
in
the
northerne
partes
another
sort
of
Vagabonds
(
at
the
diuels-arse-a-peake
in
Darbishire
)
began
a
new
regiment
,
Aegyptians
,
calling
themselues
by
the
name
of
Egiptians
:
These
were
a
sort
of
rogues
,
that
liued
and
do
yet
liue
by
cousening
and
deceit
,
practising
the
arte
called
legerdemaine
,
or
fast
and
loose
,
whereby
they
got
to
themselues
no
small
credite
among
the
Countrey
people
by
their
déepe
dissembling
and
deceitfull
practises
,
féeding
the
common
people
wholly
addicted
and
giuen
to
nouelties
,
toyes
and
new
fangles
,
delighting
them
with
the
strangenesse
of
the
attire
of
their
heads
,
and
practising
palmistry
to
such
as
would
know
their
fortunes
.
The
first
that
inuented
this
new
fellowship
was
one
Giles
Hather
:
he
carried
about
with
him
his
whore
called
(
Kyt
Calot
)
which
was
termed
the
Quéene
of
Egipties
:
Kyt
Calot
.
they
goe
alwaies
neuer
vnder
an
hundred
men
or
women
,
causing
their
faces
to
be
made
blacke
,
as
if
they
were
Egyptians
:
they
wander
vp
and
down
the
Country
as
it
pleaseth
them
best
,
with
their
horses
to
carry
their
bastards
and
baggage
after
them
:
and
when
they
come
into
any
countrey
towne
,
they
pittifully
cousen
the
poore
countrey
girles
,
both
of
money
,
siluer
and
the
best
linnen
onely
in
hope
to
heare
their
good
fortunes
tould
them
.
Read
of
these
in
the
first
pag
After
a
certaine
time
that
these
vp-start
Lossels
had
got
vnto
a
head
;
the
two
chiefe
Commaunders
of
both
these
regiments
met
at
the
Diuels-arse-a-peake
,
there
to
parle
and
intreate
of
matters
that
might
tend
to
the
establishing
of
this
their
new
found
gouernment
:
and
first
of
all
they
thinke
it
fit
to
deuise
a
certaine
kinde
of
language
,
Canting
,
when
brought
vp
.
to
the
end
their
cousenings
,
knaueries
and
villanies
might
not
be
so
easily
perceiued
and
knowne
,
in
places
where
they
come
:
And
this
their
language
they
spunne
out
of
thrée
other
tongues
,
viz.
Latine
,
English
,
and
Dutch
:
these
thrée
especially
,
nothwithstanding
some
few
words
they
borrowed
of
the
Spanish
and
French
.
They
also
gaue
names
to
such
persons
of
their
company
according
to
the
kind
of
life
that
he
vndertooke
:
as
for
example
,
A
common
begger
or
rogue
,
they
termed
a
Clapper-dudgeon
,
one
that
counterfeited
the
falling
sicknes
,
they
termed
him
a
counterfeit
Cranke
,
for
Cranke
in
their
language
is
the
falling
sickenesse
,
and
so
Counterfeit
Cranke
is
the
false
falling
sickenesse
:
and
so
of
the
rest
.
This
Cocke
Lorrell
continued
among
them
longer
then
any
of
his
predecessours
before
him
,
or
after
him
:
for
he
ruled
almost
two
and
twentie
yeares
,
vntil

such

,
making
themselues
as
strangers
,
and
would
neuer
put
forth
themselues
in
any
tumult
or
Commotion
,
as
the
other
sort
did
:
but
what
vice
they
exercised
not
one
way
,
they
were
not
inferiour
to
them
in
the
like
,
or
rather
worse
another
way
;
so
that
what
betwéene
them
both
,
they
were
two
pestiferous
members
in
a
Common-wealth
:
but
I
will
leaue
them
both
,
and
pray
for
a
prosperous
winde
to
bring
my
Barke
to
the
wished
port
of
her
desire
,
which
is
to
be
fauoured
and
well
liked
of
in
your
sight
:
which
if
good
fortune
fauour
me
so
much
,
I
shall
be
bouldened
once
more
to
play
the
Merchant
venturer
:
at
whose
second
arriuall
I
will
present
you
with
things
more
strange
,
not
farre
fetcht
but
déerely
bought
,
and
wherein
,
if
license
may
be
permitted
,
I
will
procéed
and
set
downe
the
successours
from
Cocke
Lorrell
vntill
this
present
day
,
and
who
at
this
day
beares
the
greatest
sway
amongst
them
.
