Why then belike I am nobody: room and avoidance, for now speaks Captain Chubb: No sooner in London will we be, But the Bakers for you, the Brewers for me, Birchin lane shall suit us, the costermonger's fruit us: The Poulters send us in soul, And butcher's meat without control: And ever when we sup or dine, The Vintners freely bring us in wine: If anybody ask who shall pay, Cut off his head and send him away. This is Captain Chubb's law whosoever say nay. Bravely resolved, so march we forward all, And boldly say, good luck shall us befall. This is well done, thus should good Citizens, Fashion themselves as well for war as peace: Have ye commanded that in every street, They hang forth lights as soon as night comes one Say Colin Shore that was referred to you. Shore 〈◊〉 have my Lord, beside from every hall There is at least two hundred men in arms. It cheers my heart to hear this readiness, Let never rebels put true Subjects down, Come when they will, their welcome shall be such, As they had better kept them further off. But where is M. Recorder? his advise, Must not be wanting in these high affairs. About an hour ago, and somewhat more, I left him fortifying the bridge my Lord, Which done he purposed to meet you here: A discreet painful Gentleman he is, And we must all of us be so inclined: If we intend to have the City safe, Or look for thanks, and credit with the King, I tell ye masters, aged though I be, I (for my part) will to no bed this night. Why is it thought the Bastard is so near? How mean ye M. Iosseline by near? He neither comes from Italy nor Spain: But out of Kent, and Essex which you know, Are both so near, as nearer cannot be. Nay, by your patience good my Lord a word, Simple though I am, yet I must confess, A mischief further off, would, and so forth, You know my meaning, things not seen before, Are, and so forth, yet in good sadness, I would that all were well, and perchance, It may be so, what, were it not for hope, The heart, and so forth, but to the matter, You mean and purpose, ay, ay, am sure ye do? Well M. Iosseline, we are sure ye mean well Although somewhat defective in your utterance. ay, ay, my Lord Maior, I am you know, Willing ready, & so forth, tut, tut, for me, ha, ha, My Manston is at Ham, and thence you know, I come to help you in this needful time: When rebels are so busy, and so forth, What masters, age must never be despised, You shall find me my Lord, still, and so forth. My Lord, now here comes M. Recorder. Good even my good Lord Maior, the streets are chained, The bridge well manned & every place prepared, Shall we now go together and consult. What else there is to be determined of?
