aduising and directing them to the cautionary causeway of security both laterally and collaterally by direct oblique lines which he most mathematically had imagined and contriued in his head as well for his owne commodity as for their indempnity without demanding of any other assurance as yet and so my Gentleman is dispatcht without further tie vpon lands or person hitherto sauing what is mentally reserued vpon the growth of this summe by these his louing friends and countrimen Friendship for countries sake I doe commend But not to sell my country for a friend The Citizen a Redemptionary Freeman his Method THe last but not the least of these is our city borrower a hopefull young man though I say it A man of wisedome for he is the best That euer was of our Ward-mo●t inquest Of sweet behauiour for this very yeere He hath discharg'd the place of Scauenger At an arbitrement he is a cutter As ere concluded in a Tauerne supper If females for their linnen doe contend He takes vp all and makes a friendly end And if our Vestry brethren doe dissent He makes the elder head most eminent Grow vp thou man of iustice and of hope My pen giues thee thy due giue thou it scope This City youth not altogether free by patrimonie but partly by matrization is wonderfull cautious of being a borrower vpon record or in the eye of the world He will not haue his name tendred to a Scriuener by any meanes while he is yet but easily declining vpon the streame of ready monies and not in stocke like the water which though it fall and sinke by the sides yet runnes vp in the middest with a manifest current long after He now studies how to take vp without expression to bee a principall for himselfe or to be too promptly drawne into security for others Hee findes out for property for this purpose a young heire who for a third share of the summe was content to beare the onely name and blame of borrower and to yeeld to the ensafing of my Citizen by such counter-bonds sales and assignments as by the Scriuener and himselfe could be deuised to vphold the reputation of a wonderfull wary man Can you now call this man a borrower for doing his friend a courtesie Or is this man in a declension when it appeares by the booke that he is in the way of purchasing No such matter this cries vp his credit And howsoeuer these monies be repaid yet he is sure of the land which before any insoluency shall appeare on his party he does intend to conuey ouer in trust secretly to the vses of his liuelihood for the time of restraint to come and like one that prepares his tombe while he is yet liuing hee resolues what lodging to take vp on the masters-side when his credit shall depart this mortall life Besides he had another way of borrowing hee findes out an old vsurer of the same parish father to diuers daughters who catcht at espousall preferment onely by their fathers countenance and their concise carriage The one of these he singles out from the heard and pretends most pure and vnfained loue vnto her He visits her in his gowne at Midsummer whereat the old man conceiues great ioy and comfort glories in his grauity and delights in his decency He on the other side peceiues the powle-cat in the Pursenet makes present vse of it He shewes him the conueiance which the heire made the other day vnto him of all the houses in Conny-hoope-lane a one side and desires to be furnisht by him with so much as might bring the other side into his propertie likewise for that it was now offered vnto him vpon reasonable conditions so should bee reduce all as it were into a circle and his daughter should hold that for her Iointer and haue the euidence in her owne custody The old man lik't this passing well and for feare left the bargaine should be snatcht out of his hand he takes him into his closet tells out the monie and sends him away instantly The old man turnes him about and pointing at her sweet heart bespeakes his daughter thus There goes he that labours for you most industriously studies your good right carefully I pray God make you thankfull for him accordingly For you shall haue a husband bee it not vainely spoken that for thrift and husbandrie may be the very browch of all the Citie In stead of going forthwith vnto his Chapman for the housing and candle rents he is housed presently at a widdowes in the way where he spends his time till candle-light Here he likewise protests and professes loue by whole sale hee shewes her the monies and tels her what a bargaine he could now haue if shee would ioine stocke with him in such a commoditie come lately into the Downes with the last East-Indian ships It might please God that this might be a happy occasion of vniting their persons as well as their parcels together The Widdow was hereupon taken with such a Sorpego in her wrists that her fingers ends itcht to be telling out of her part and to take issue vpon his promise of the vnion which she performed with much dexterity Then he puts all together and assures her that he will be gone the next tide to Grauesend When hee comes home hee dispatches letters speedily to the old Vsurer certifying him of his good progression in Connie-hoope-lane and desiring his patience for certaine daies which the contriuing of his assurance by good and sufficient counsell would take vp The time pretended for the Downes and to draw downe a good estate for his young Mistresse is vpon better consideration bestowed at Rumford where whosoeuer had seene him in the lift of his liberalitie would little thinke him to be so little a thing as might bee contained within the compasse of a counting house or be confined within the prospection of a false light Expect anon the sequell of his story Let Rumford now be famous for Iohn Dory Their seuerall cause of insoluency followeth THe Courtiers cause is in his conscience For he neither can nor cares to pay The innes of court mans cause is in his Coercence for he would if he could pay The countrie Gentlemans cause is in his confidence for he trusts to his countrie men of the citie and had rather they then he should pay But the citizens cause is in hi● complacence It pleaseth him so to paie and he sees no reason why he should goe beyond the rule of conformitie He findes good graund Iurie Presidents of fiue shillings in the pound and it is faire too and sufficient soder for the first flaw by my faith Some would and if they could Some can and yet they care not The least pay what they should The most spend all and spare not The sundry waies and weapons with which they fence with their Creditors challenge the next place THe longest weapons with which my Courtier keepes his Creditor farthest off are
