Penifather Couldst thou not be content with so good a breakfast but must thou come and affront my son and me at Dinner At which words the whole business was understood and the one said he was robbed of so much and another of so much and all acknowledged what they had lost I thank ye all Gentlemen quoth Hinde for my breakfast but I am most engaged to this Gentleman for he would not let me pass till he brought me to a plentiful Dinner Much mirth past at the Table and Hinde fitted them with very good discourse for the day That pleased the company so well that each man endevored to shew him what favor they could so that after Dinner they took him out into the Court where the Master of the House had a gallant yong Gelding never backt before that day which was very unruly and had thrown two or three Riders quoth Hinde if it please you Gentlemen to give me leave I shall bring this Gelding to a pace in a quarter of an hour There being a high wall round the yard none mistrusted his intention he mounts the Gelding with the Masters leave and was commended by all the Gentlemen for a very good horseman having sufficiently chafed and madded the mettalsom Beast and spying a little broken place in the wall with a full carier leapt the gelding over and turning about said I thank you all Gentlemen for my Breakfast and Dinner but I must sup above forty miles off this night So the Clark lost his labor in making his Mittimus and his Master a Gelding worth fifty pounds 3 How Hinde cozened an Inn-Keeper by pretending himself to be some great Lord to the value of threescore pounds THere is no game comes amiss but Hinde hath skill in it in his low Estate he hath his conceits and now he is a pretended Lord here we shal shew you how he sends some of his Comradoes in the habit of Serving-men to take up a Lodging for their Master in an Inn telling that he was a great Lord and was desirous to lie there about some business but withall they told him he must have extraordinary fare as Rabbits and Chickens and all other dainties no Butchers meat would go down with him and to colour the business he sent him two great iron bound chests with strong locks and mailed with cords and gave order they should be put in the best room in the House as if there had been some rich business in it So when the Lodging was fitted the next day comes in Hinde like a great Lord or Don of Spain and was welcomed by the Host with a great deal of respect and honor nothing was omitted that might any way give him content And thus he continued for some certain time for he went out upon his Robbery and came in again in his Coach and none suspected or mistrusted and when he thought he had layn there long enough for fear of discovery he took an occasion to borrow threescore pounds of his Host pretending some extraordinary business the credulous Host beleeves him and lends it him he having as he thought such good security But the Bird being now flegged it is time to take wing and be gone Hinde goes out in the morning in his Coach but was too wise to come any more there he is expected at night but no Lord comes his Lordship was gone another progress he stays a week and appears not a Moneth expires and he is not seen At last the Host begins to be jealous and mistrusts That all is not gold that glisters He now begins to think there 's some Knavery and to be short calls a Constable and he sits ready to take an Inventory of the goods in the chests The two great Chests are unmailed or uncorded the Locks are broken open which being done alass then his grief appears For in stead of rich treasure he finds nothing but two Chests full of stones and old rubbish cram'd together 4 How Hinde cozened a Merchant in Holland of 300 Crowns by giving a counterfeit chain for a pledg THis jovial Gamester Hinde being in Holland having spent his Mony casts his wits about how to recrute himself and you know good workmen never want their tools You may remember I told you how he served the Inn-Keeper just almost in the same manner he beguiles the Dutchman He goes after the fashion of a Gallant the better to set a gloss upon his Knavery he hath his man to wait upon him and by his gallant garb insinuates into a rich Merchants acquaintance makes the World beleeve he hath brought the wealth of the Indies with him he pretends he hath great wealth and happy were he that could be acquainted with him for it is the nature of the Dutchmen to strike sail for their own profit to offer any Kindness where they perceive they may be any way a gainer Amongst the rest a Merchant of no mean quality perceiving his deportment invites him to his house this gudgeon with little entreaty quickly swallows the bait and accepts his proffer when come to his House the Merchant entertains him with a great deal of civility Hinde pretends to send one of his men to his two chests which were aboard of a ship in the Key for some Money which made the Merchant say Sir I much wonder you being a stranger dare trust your wealth in such a place if you please sir my house shall be at your pleasure But Hinde takes an occasion upon discourse to pull out of a Box a Chain of pure gold before the Merchant which he much admiring said Sir you need not want Money so long as you have this to engage Hinde replyed I should be loath to engage it but upon on necessity which I am now driven to For although I have Money yet I cannot command it because I must pay it presently upon a Bill of exchange Sir replyed the Merchant I shall befriend you so far as to lend you so much money as you have occasion for Which proffer Hinde as modestly denyed yet with a kinde of willing unwillingness he kindly accepted his courtesie and presently called for his man to take the Chain and see what the Goldsmith would value it at and to bring a Test under his hand The Merchant as seeming unwilling to receive his Chain as a pledg replyed Good Sir do not trouble your self so I dare take your word for more then this sum yet his fingers itcht to be fingering of this pawn Hinde the more puts it upon him seeing his unwillingness to receive it Well Sir saith the Merchant seeing it is your pleasure my man shall go with your servant to see the value of it at the Goldsmiths Hinde calls his man delivers him the Chain and together they go and bring a Test under the Goldsmiths hand who finds it right and rich Now Hinde had playd his game so that he had provided his man with another Chain of brass gilded of the same
