The Scourge of Basenesse OR The old Lerry with a new Kicksey and a new cum twang with the old Winsye VVherein Iohn Taylor hath curried or clapperclawed neere a thousand of his bad Debters who will not pay him vpon his Returnes from Scotland Germany Bohemia the voyages of the paper boate and his Nauigations to Yorke and Salsbury with Oares My Debters like seauen Eeles with slipry tailes One sort 1 catch sixe slips away and failes London Printed by N. O. for Mathew Walbanck● dwelling in Graves 〈…〉 TO THE MIRROR OF GOOD FELLOWSHIP THE PATterne of true Friendship and the onely nonparallell of iouiall Entertainment Mr. Andrew Hilton at the signe of the horshooe at Daintree I. Taylor wisheth dayly increase of good Guests tue payment hearts content in this life and afterward as much happines as his soule can desire KInd Sir I haue seene oftentimes men offering to snusfe a candle haue against their wills put it cleane out and an vnskilfull Chirurgian taking a small greene wound in hand hath brought it to an old Vlcer I would be loath for my part to imitate either of these examples for my intent is confession of the wrong I did you and an endeauour to make amends I doe confesse that I did you wrong in print in my booke of my Trauels to Scotland and now in print I doe make you a publike satisfaction For I protest to God that I haue heard so much good report of you that I am double sorry that I was so mistaken and that I haue beene so long time before I haue printed my recantatiō It was your Tapsters want of wit and manners and my want of discretion that was the grounds of my too much credulity and temerity For his part I wish him no more harme but that chalke may bee his best payments Thunder may sowre his Hogsheads Rats gnaw out his spigots at midnight and himselfe to commit his witte to the keeping of a foole or a knaue while heliues And your hostlers for gaping so greedily like gudgeons vpon mee I pray that they may euery day mourne in litter and horse-dung But these are but Iests by the way for as many as knowes you haue told mee that if you had beene at home my entertainment had been better if it had beene so it had bin more then you owed me and more then I at that time could haue required but I would haue stretched my wit vpon the tenters of Inuention in the praise of Innes and Inkeepers I would haue put the forgetfull world in minde of the good seruice that Rahab the Inne-keeper did at Iericho in hiding and preseruing the spyes that were sent by Caleb and Ioshua I would haue made the obliuious logger-headed Age remember that the Redeemer of the world did grace an Inne with his blessed birth What place then but an Inne was the High Court of Heauen and Earth the residence lodging of the immortall King of neuer-ending eternity This and more I would haue done but what is past cannot be recalled and it is too late to put olde omittings to new committings And so my noble and thrice worthy hoste of hostes I omit not to commit you and yours to the protection of him that made you desiring you to take this merry Pamphlet in good part or in earnest of my better amends and as a qualifier of your Iust anger Yours in the best of his eudeauours to be commanded IOHN TAYLOR To the Reader MY hearty condemnations I send forth Vnto a crew of Rascals nothing worth Yet in some sort I wrong their high reputes Some of them are worth hanging for their sutes Such as to pay debts haue the meanes not mindes Whose words and bonds are coustant as the windes Such as thinke satisfaction is a sinne And he most veriuous that 's in debt most in Such for whose sakes to my aparent losse To Germany I twice the Seas did crosse To Scotland all on foot and backe from thence Not any Coyne about me for expence And with a Rotten weake Browne paper Boate To Quinborough from London I did floate Next to Bohemia o're the raging maine And troublous lands I went and came againe Next with a Wherry I to Yorke did Ferry Which I did finde a voyage very merry And lastly late I made a desperate launte From Famous London sometimes Troynou●nte To Salisbury through many a bitter blast I Rockes and Sands and foaming Billowes past That in ten thousand mouthes the City round The lying flying newes was I was drown'd But I may see them hang'd before that day Who are my Debtors can and will not pay These toyle some passages I vndertooke And gaue out Coyne and many a hundred Booke Which these base Mungrels tooke and promist me To giue me siue for one some foure some three But now these Hownds no other pay affords Then shifting scornefull lookes and seuruy words And sure I thinke if I should harrow Hell Where Diuels and cursed Reprobates do dwell I might finde many there that are their betters And haue more conscience then my wicked debtors Thus to my seauen-fold troope of friends and foes My thankes and angry Muse thus onward goes The VVhy and the VVherefore I Haue published this Pamphlet to let my rich debtors vnderstand that as often as I meete them I doe looke that they should pay mee and although I am shamefaste in not asking my due yet I would not haue them shamelesse in detaining it from me because the summes are but small and very easie for them in generall to pay and would do me a particular good to receiue Secondly I haue sent this into the world to informe some that through their want doe shun and auoid my sight and company that they are much deceiued in my disposition for I euer did esteeme an honest heart and a willing minde as well as their performances Thirdly there are some great men who by reason of their extraordinary imployments my small acquaintance and lesse meanes of accesse vnto them with my want of impudencie and their mens want of courtesie to informe them all these are lets and demurres against my satisfaction Lastly the daily abuses that I haue concerning the booke of my Trauels wherein I am accused for lies and falsifications but I doe and euer will stedfastlie stand to the truth of euery title of it except the a-buse that I did to Maister Hilton at Daintree that was not done on known malice neither but on blinde ignorant information and there is a second Edition of my bookes of ●●auels comming foorth wherein I will Satyrize Cauterize and Stigmatize all the whole kennell of curres that dares maliciouslie snarle against manifest apparant and well knowne truths In the meane space you that are my debtors if you please to pay me you shall therin put your selues out of a bad number amongst which you yet are placed if you will not pay me take this bone to gnaw vpon That I doe hope to
