Bribery
,
My
Lords
,
I
will
tell
your
Lordships
a
Story
,
There
was
one
of
your
Lordships
had
a
Living
lately
fallen
in
his
Gift
,
a
Countrey-Parson
who
had
a
mind
to
the
said
Living
,
comes
to
his
Lordships
House
,
and
defires
to
speak
with
his
Honour
,
but
his
Lordship
sends
the
Parson
word
,
he
was
busie
,
he
must
come
another
time
.
The
Parson
desires
the
Messenger
to
present
his
Service
to
his
Lordship
and
to
give
his
Lordship
a
Basket
of
Pippins
,
which
he
had
brought
him
for
a
Present
,
desiring
him
to
give
him
the
Living
,
which
was
in
his
Gift
;
his
Lordship
sent
the
Parson
his
Basket
of
Pippins
again
,
and
also
sent
word
,
that
the
Living
was
not
a
Pippin
matter
,
and
that
he
had
as
good
Pippins
growing
in
his
own
Orchard
.
Well
,
the
Parson
,
(
upon
giving
the
Servant
a
Pippin
,
)
prevails
with
him
to
carry
the
Basket
of
Pippins
a
Second
time
to
his
Lordship
,
with
this
Request
,
that
his
Lordship
would
Cut
one
of
the
Pippins
,
for
he
did
not
believe
his
Lordship
had
so
good
Pippins
growing
in
his
Orchard
.
Upon
this
,
his
Lordship
Cuts
one
of
the
Pippins
,
and
finds
it
to
be
a
Golden
Pippin
;
then
he
presently
causes
his
Servant
to
call
in
the
Parson
,
and
bids
him
very
welcome
,
and
tells
him
,
he
accepted
of
the
Basket
of
Pippins
,
and
the
Living
was
his
,
and
withal
told
him
,
if
all
the
Trees
in
his
Orchard
bore
such
Pippins
,
they
would
do
him
more
good
than
all
St.
your
Rise
has
been
my
Fall
.
He
did
agree
with
them
in
their
Opinion
of
my
Lord
but
my
Lord
had
a
Fault
,
whatever
it
was
he
could
not
tell
,
but
,
I
my self
having
some
Business
with
his
Lordship
,
I
went
to
him
to
his
Countrey-House
,
which
was
near
St.
Twenty
Miles
from
where
I
was
Admitted
into
his
Study
,
where
was
no
person
but
his
Lordship
and
my self
,
and
whilst
I
was
talking
with
him
about
my
Business
,
his
Lordship
had
occasion
to
Ease
Nature
,
and
withdrew
out
of
his
Study
,
and
left
me
there
alone
;
whilst
his
Lordship
was
gone
,
there
came
into
the
Study
,
one
of
his
Lordships
Gentlemen
,
and
opens
my
Lord's
Chest
of
Drawers
wherein
his
Money
was
,
and
takes
it
out
in
Handfuls
and
fills
both
his
Pockets
,
and
goes
away
without
saying
one
word
to
me
;
he
was
no
sooner
gone
,
but
comes
a
Second
Gentleman
,
opens
the
same
Drawers
,
fills
both
his
Pockets
with
Money
,
and
goes
away
as
the
former
did
,
without
speaking
one
word
to
me
;
at
which
I
was
surpris'd
,
and
much
concern'd
,
and
was
resolv'd
to
Acquaint
my
Lord
with
it
.
As
soon
as
my
Lord
return'd
into
his
Study
,
I
told
him
,
here
was
a
very
odd
passage
happen'd
,
since
your
Lordship
went
to
Ease
your self
;
upon
which
he
ask'd
me
what
it
was
,
I
told
the
passage
as
here
related
.
He
shook
his
Head
,
and
all
that
he
said
was
,
Sir
,
I
cannot
help
my self
.
Reader
,
Richard
Smith
,
Whether
he
would
Accept
of
the
Office
?
He
told
them
he
would
,
if
he
might
have
his
Choice
of
the
the
which
they
easily
granted
him
,
and
he
wav'd
the
he
was
brought
up
a
Clerk
in
,
and
made
Choice
of
the
other
.
As
soon
as
he
was
fix'd
in
,
one
comes
to
him
and
tells
him
,
Sir
,
you
must
present
the
Sheriff
with
a
Bag
of
Gold
,
for
it
is
expected
from
you
.
No
Sir
,
not
I
,
I
will
not
give
him
one
Farthing
.
Then
Sir
,
you
must
present
him
with
a
Cubbard
of
Plate
.
No
Sir
,
Smith
,
not
I.
Then
Sir
,
you
must
give
the
Sheriff
a
Coach
and
Horses
,
otherwise
you
will
be
turn'd
out
of
your
Office
of
He
Answered
him
again
,
Sir
,
I
Value
not
that
,
I
will
not
give
the
Sheriff
one
Farthing
,
neither
directly
,
nor
indirectly
,
for
if
I
do
,
it
s
against
the
Law
,
and
I
shall
thereby
forfit
my
place
;
and
I
would
at
any
time
chuse
to
be
turn'd
out
of
my
place
,
then
forfit
it
by
doing
an
Act
contrary

I

you

this

that
he

grant
me
my
Liberty

Yes
,
he
did
,
and
that
he
should
wonder
at
me
if
I
doubted

for
he
saw
no
Reason

that
no

in
the

break
such
serious
Promises

it

no
Advantage
to
him
to
keep
me
Prisoner

nor
no
Disadvantage
to
him
to
give
me
my
Liberty

that
if
he

not
do

he

believe
him

as
these

which
he

tho'
he

I
was
satisfied

that
he

not
give
me
my
Liberty

That
he
should
grant
me
my

He
would
not
do
it
then

he

do
it

Then

Heyman

give
me
the
you
promis'd

for
the
Week

He

give
me
my

not
yet

Then
,
Heyman
,
pray
give
me
the
Moneys
you
promised
him
for
to
Buy
Bread
,
that
he
may
not
starve

That
the
time
was
long
since
past
,
that
he
solemnly
Promised
both
him
,
and
me
,
to
grant
me
my
Liberty
.
He
would
give
me
my
Liberty
at
his
own
time

That
he
did
believe
what
the
World
reported
of
him
,
that
he
was
a
Rascal
;
That
I
did
not
behave
my self
to
him
as
I
ought
to
do

that
now
he
had
resign'd
all
