I sure 'tis in this Lane, I turned on the right hand coming from the Stocks, nay, though there was master carls, man carels, and all careless, i'll still be honest Iohn, and scorn to take any man's ware but i'll pay them for it: I warrant they think me an arrant knave, for going away and not paying, and in my conscience the master cudgeled the men, and the men the master, and all about me, whenas God save me I did it innocently. But sure this is the Lane, there's the Windmill, there's the dog's head in the pot, and her's the friar whipping the nun's arse: t's here about sure. Come fellow Crack, have you sorted up those wares? Marked them with 54. they must be packed up. I have done't an hour ago: have you sealed up My master's Letter to his Factor Iohn Gresham? It is at Deep in France to send him Matches, For he must use them at Bristol fair. ay, and the Post received it two hours since. Sure it is here about, the kennel was on my right hand, and I think in my conscience I shall never have the grace of God and good luck, if I do not pay it: God's foot, look here, look here, I know this is the shop by that same stretch-halter, O my masters, by your leave good fellows. You are welcome sir, you are welcome. Indeed that's the common saying about London, if men bring money with them. O sir, money customers to us are best welcome. You say well, so they should be. come turn o'er your books, I am come to pay this same ten pound. And we are ready to receive money: what might we call your name? Why my name is Iohn Goodfellow, I hope I am not ashamed of my name. Your Kin are the more beholding to you, fellow Crack turn o'er the calendar, and look for Iohn Goodfellow. What comes it to? ten pound. You will have no more wares with you, will you sir. Nay prithee not too fast, let's pay for the old before we talk of any new. Iohn Goodfellow, fellow Nimble-chaps, here's no such name in all our book. I think thou art mop-eyed this morning, give me the book, Letter I, Letter I, Letter I: when had you your ware? I had it some ten days ago. Your name's Iohn Goodfellow you say, Letter I, Letter I, Letter I: You do not come to mock us, do you. Letter I, Letter I, Letter I. By this hand if I thought you did, I would knock you about the ears afore we parted fellow Crack, get me a Cudgel ready; Letter I, Letter I, Letter I: Foot here's no such name in all our Book. Do you hear fellow are you drunk this morning, to make us look for moonshine in the water?
