their hands for the money received which last was accepted whereupon Diomedes return'd to his Master and boldly demanded his Daughter the Master in a hot passion bad him be gone out of doors or he would break his pate for him Diomedes then to use the advantage he had against him threatned to discover his Stealing of Custome Excise c. if he would not give his assent to what he demanded which the Master not much regarding but persisted still in his wonted humour at last got him worsted out of his house Diomedes immediately went to an Officer of Justice whose duty it is here to take notice of such Delinquents and informed him about his Masters practise signifying the like to the Farmers and Commissioners of the Impositions of wine who ruminated his Cellars from end to end and thorowly examined the matter of the Labourers that had been assisting in the running and conveyance of the Goods adding well to the matter by declaring upon what account they had received that money which when they had thorowly inspected found the Vintner tardy as well from the clear Confession of those men who had received the Money as from the number of the Pieces of wine he had in his Cellar which he had never entered insomuch that these Gravaminas requiring an Expiation too heavy for him to bear was fain to retire and leave his Counting house and Goods to the Mercy of the Officers and Farmers of the Impositions Neither did he ommit to make Complaint against the wicked practise of Diomedes in damnifying his wine with salt demanding Justice against him and satisfaction for the Injury received whom when he began to look for found that he had made his escape and taken his dear daughter along with him being as it seems oversway'd by the vigour of Love and about five hundred Ducats of Gold which he no sooner perceived but he fell into a strange Fit in which he lay several hours before he came to himself The loss not only of his Wine and Money but also of his only Child and Reputation brought him into a Consumption which cast him just to deaths-door Nevertheless desiring before his death that his daughter should be enquired after if possibly by the sight of her and the restistitution of part of his Money he might add a litle to his Days but finding no means to get her again unless he would frankly forgive Diomedes of those many crimes he was factious of and so with his full consent ratify the Marriage between him and his daughter he was forc'd to comply and so accordingly they were call'd home the Match in every point confirm'd and the young Couple received into their Fathers house and Favour altho the Father notwithstanding all that Physicians could praescribe or apply expired his utmost and left Diomedes in full Possession of his Estate which was no small cause of Joy to him After the decease and Interrment of the old man Diomedes mourned Court fashion not in a purple weed but in making many Jovial hours every day holiday and good chear leaving the direction and management of his Merchandise of wines which he still continued to the care of two servants of his who served him as faithfully as ever he did his Master before him Neither was it indeed possible for Diomedes to leave the tricks he had learn'd of his Master or Father in law Nay he esteemd it a sin to pay full Excise for his Goods being ever ready to accomodate and deal with those that had a mind to smuggle and that not only with persons of the meanest rank but also with the most eminent in the Town some through an insatiable desire they had to wine others who out of Generositie were so liberal to good fellowship and acquaintance as that they were ashamed that it should be known at the Excise Office what wine they consumed Diomedes considering this playd upon the other hand and made a mixture of his Wines with water The old woman had not sought her daughter in the Oven had she not been there herself a proverb as true as ancient Diomedes knowing himself never too guilty of Fidelity must needs sometimes harbour and entertain some suspicion of the like deportment from his men which even now have the same opportunities he had once himself his Jealousie mov'd him to come upon them at unawars for several times one after another but finding no ground for his Jealousie he from thence forward reposed more confidence in them than before thinking for a certainty they did not transgress their Duty It happened on a time when he had occasion to deliver some Wines which having brought into Lighters before they came to the Boom or Water-bar it was lockt so that they could not get through to the stream and were fain for that night to keep aboard the Lighters and watch the Wines This opportunity fell out very well for the servants who invited four or five of their fellows to bouze a glass with them who made not many refusals so to 't they went and were all equally paid off before the Sun rose and although the Tuns were without Cocks or Spiggots yet to supply that defect they made use of their Crane or Pipe wherewith they of that Mystery are wont to exhaust wine out of Casks and made use of their hats till about midnight when they found 2 or 3 foul glasses which they rinc'd and made use of these were in a perpetual motion till the morning began to appear and commanded their dissolution and each to do his duty although they were fitter to go to bed by far When the Water-bar was open they went forth in good order but whither they knew not till at last one of 'em espied a ship riding off in the stream ready to set sail concluded absolutely that that was the ship ordain'd to take in the Wine and so one of them called out Oho the Fly boat Ehey they aboard the ship saluted them with the like voice and asked what they would have We have brought here the Wine quoth one of them that our Master Mons de Lebechea was to send aboard you pray let us be discharged with the first for we must be back again with all expedition The Master of the ship seeing the Gentlemen between Hawk and Bussard and so much wine presented him without the freight he pittied them and took in the Present and presently after both wind and weather favouring he sit sail for the Texel in Order to proceed on his voyage and let the lighter and men find the way home The men that were aboard the ship being all English save the Master himself thought that it was some Merchandize he had bought for himself not well understanding the Netherdutch Language But to return back again with the Lighter and guide them home Diomedes seeing his men in such a pickle began to fear all was not well He asked them on what ship they had delivered they told him
