B08907	A most delightful history of the famous clothier of England, called, Jack of Newbery, in the days of King Henry the Eight; how he was beloved of his mistris above all her wealtheir sutors : what great and valiant things he did for England : and the great number of poor he daily cherished. And how (when the King sent for him) he refused (with his company) to leave the hill of ants to go to the king : and therefore the king went to him which he wittily excused with many other very pleasant passages / written by W.S.	Deloney, Thomas, 1543?-1600.	1680 (1680)	Wing D957C; ESTC R175927	7,586	24

their Fellow-Servant but would deserve their respects to the uttermost of his indeavour Thus they spent the day in loving Toyings only some over-sight of the Work-men withal and at night they went to

would be which Gossips did exceedingly discourage her Oh! but quoth she I w●ll take an Order for that for I will curb him at the first that I will make sure that he shall never crow over me I warrant you And indeed she began to grow as great a Gossip as any was in Newberry and would sometimes come home very late at night insomuch that at last her Husband John went to bed and locked her out and took the Key up into his own Chamber and when the good wife saw that she was shut out of doors she knocked very hard till at last her Husband looked out at the window and bad her to go look her lodging at night where she had been sitting all day Such Gossips quoth he as you the Cage is the fittest Lodging for go to the Constable and bespeak a bed of him Oh! dear Husband quoth she be not so angry I pray you give me leave to come into my Bed good sweet Husband I pray you and let me not stand thus in the cold lest I lose my life thereby After many fine words wherewith she had intreated her Husband to come down and open the door he came down to her and let her in to whom she dissemblingly pretended to have lost her Wedding-Ring from off her hand who lovingly going forth with the Candle in his hand in his shirt looked up and down upon the goound for it and she the mean time stepping in clapped to the door and shut him out whereat he was much perplexed and knocked a long time in the cold before she would answer who at last opening the Window bad him go look a Lodging with him Constables Wife and asked him whether he thought it good to lye in the cold in the Street Now quoth she she who was even now at your mercy hath gotten you at hers Oh sweet Wife quoth he be not angry but let me come in I swear unto thee that I will never shut thee forth of doors again but thou shalt do what thou wilt and I will never meddle no make with you whatsoever you do hereafter whereupon she came down and opened the door and let him in and there they made great protestations each to other never to affront or fall out one with the other after and with a good Sack-posset the Covenant was agreed between them Shortly after the King was to raise an Army of Souldiers against the Scots who was risen against the English and Jack of Newberry raised at his own charges an hundred and fifty men and allowed white Coats red Caps and yellow Feathers and led them himself fifty of them were valiant Horsemen fifty Pikes and fifty Musquetiers all brave Steeds good Arms and valiant men who marching by before the Queen Queen Katherine she called for him and understanding what he was after she had put forth her hand for him to kiss she promised to acquaint the King's Majesty with his free and great service A Song used by Jack of Newberry and his Souldiers KIng Jamy of Scots had raised an Army against England But let him come we 'l thunder him back he cannot us withstand Jack of Newbery comes proud Scots take heed with valiant Souldiers stout Who for brave England will fight with you and never will give out Our milk-white Coats red Caps and yellow Feathers declare Our Resolution 's stout and good there Scots will not spare Shortly after Jack of Newberry heard that the King was to ride by Newberry so he with his Servants went out into the field and finding an Hill of Pismires drew his Sword and guarded it and the King coming by sent for him to know the reason why he guarded that place with his Sword drawn the King in person being to pass by there who returned answer That he was busie and could not speak with him and the King is on Horse-back and I am on Foot therefore quoth he he may the better come to me Tell the King that I stand here to guard the laborious Ants from their Enemies which Message being brought to the King he went to Jack of Newberry expecting that it was done to make some jest for his pleasure and when the King came Jack with all his men fell on their knees and cryed God save the King your Sacred Majesty quoth he hath vanquished all mine Enemies Now trust me quoth the King you are stout Souldiers to fight against Butterflies and withstand such mighty Gyants My dread Soveraign quoth Jack of Newberry not long ago in my conceit I saw the most provident Nation of the Ants summoned their chief Peers to a Parliament which was held in the famous City of Drie-dustie the one and thirtieth day of September whereas by their Wisdoms I was chosen their King at what time also many Bills of complaint were brought in against divers ill Members in the Common-Wealth amongst whom the Mole was attainted of High-treason to their State and therefore was banished for ever from their quiet Kingdom so was the Grashopper and Catterpiller because they were not only idle but also lived upon the labours of other Men Amongst the rest the Butterflie was very much misliked but few durst say any thing to him because of his Golden Apparel who through sufference grew so ambitious and malapart that the poor Ant could no sooner get an Egg

and so the King God save Now to return again to Jack and his Wife it fell out that she fell sick and dyed
