I'm sure there's a Whirlwind huffs in mine. Sirrah, I ha' sold the Groom ath stool six times, And received money of six several Ladies: Ambitious to take place of baronets' wives▪ To three old money Matrons I have promised, The mother ship o'th' maids, I've taught our friends To convey white house gold, to our black kingdom In cold backed pasties, so cousen Searchers: For venting halbowed oil, beads, needles, pardons, Pictures, veronices, heads in private presses, That's done one i'th' habit of a Pedlar: Letters conveyed in rolls, tobacco-roles: When a restraint comes, by my politic counsel; Some of our Iesuites turn Gentlemen Ushers: Some falconers, some park-keeper, & some huntsmen: One took the shape of an old lady's Cook once, And dispatched two chares in a sunday morning, The Altar and the Dresser: pray what use Put I my summer recreation too? But more t'inform my knowledge in the state And strength of the white Kingdom? no fortifications, Haven, Creek, landing place, 'bout the white Coast, But I got draught, and plot-form, learned the depth Of all the Channels, knowledge of all sands, Shelves, Rocks and Rivers for invasion: A Catalogue of all the Navy Royal: The burden of each ship, the brass murderers: The number of the men, to what cape bound: Again for the discovery of the Inlands: Never a Shire but the State better known To me, then to her best Inhabitants: What power of men and horse, gentries, revenues, Who well affected to your side, how ill, Who neither will nor ill, all the neutrality. Thirty eight souls have been seduced (Pawn) Since the joales vomited with the Pill I gave 'em. Sure you put oil of toad into physic (sir) I'm now about a masterpiece of play, To entrap the Wh. Knight, and with false allurements, Entice him to our black House, more will follow, Whilst our Fat Bishop sets upon the Queen Then will our game lie sweetly. he's come now (sir.) here's Taxa Penitentiaris Knight, The book of general pardons, of all prizes: I have been searching for his sin this half hour, And cannot light upon it. That is strange let me see it. Wretched as I am, has my rage done that There is no precedent of pardon for? For wilful murder 13. pounds, 4. shillings and sixpence, that's reasonable cheap, for killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing. Why here's nothing but killing of this side. Turn over the sheet, you shall find adultery And other trivial sins. Adultery, oh I'm met now; for Adultery A couple of shillings, and for Fornication five pence, Mass these are the good pennyworths, I cannot see how a man can mend himself, for lying With Mother, Sister, or Daughter, I marry (sir) Thirty three pounds, three shillings and three pence, The sin's gradation right paid all in three too.
