In that I commend thy care of him, for which friendship here's a slight reward, tell him a Country man of his, one Lightfoot is here, and will not any way despair of his safety. With all respect Sir, pray command my house. So, now I shall have a sight of my cozen gallant, he that hath consumed 800. pound a year, in as few years, as he hath cares on his head: He that was wont never to be found without 3, or 4, pair of red breeches, running before his horse, or coach. He that at a meal, hath had more several kinds, than I think the Ark contained: He that was admired by nitres, for his robes of gallantry, and was indeed all that an elder brother might be, prodigal, yet he, whose unthriftiness kept many a house, is now glad to keep house in a house, that keeps him the poor tent of a porter, and see his appearance, I'll seem strange to him. cozen Lightfoot how dost, welcome to the City, Who calls me cozen, where's my cozen Haddit, he's surely putting on some rich apparel, for me to see him in. I ha' been thinking all the way I came up, how much his company will Credit me. My name is Haddit Sir, and your kinsman, if parents may be trusted, and therefore you may please to know me better, when you see me next. I prithee fellow stay, is it possible thou shouldst be he, why he was the generous spark of men's admiration. I am that spark Sir, though now raked up in ashes, Yet when it pleaseth fortune's chops to blow Some gentler gale upon me, I may then, From forth of embers rise and shine again, O by your versifying I know you now sir, how dost, I knew thee not at first, thart very much altered. Faith and so I am, exceeding much since you saw me last, about eight hundred pound a year; but let it pass, for passage carried away the most part of it, a plague of fortune thou'st more need to pray to fortune then curse her, she may be kind to thee when thou art penitent, but that I fear will be never. O no, if she be a woman, she'll ever love those that hate her, but cozen thou art thy father's first-born, help me but to some means, and I'll redeem my mortgaged lands with a wench to boot. As how I pray thee? Marry thus, Hog the Usurer hath one only daughter. Is his name Hog, it fits him exceeding well, for as a hog in his life time is always devouring, and never commodious in aught till his death, even so is he whose goods at that time may be put to many good uses.

He that at a meale, hath had more ſeuerall kindes, then I thinke the Arke conteyn'd: He that was admir'd by niters, for his robes of gallantry, and was indeed all that an elder brother might be, prodigall, yet he, whoſe vnthriftineſſe kept many a houſe, is now glad to keepe houſe in a houſe, that keepes him the poore tente of a porter, and ſee his appearance, Ile ſeeme ſtrange to him.
