then is mentioned Thus hath it pleased God that these men whose trades and liuings were deriued from the poore Sheepes backe haue not onely growne to great wealth and places of Honour but haue bin also great Instruments of the Almighties mercy in relieuing the needy and impotent members of Christ and should I reckon vp the particulars of profits that arise frō this Beast to Graziers Butchers Skinners Glouers Felmongers Leathersellers Feltmongers Taylors an infinite number of other Trades and Functions who could not liue or els liue very hardly without this Commodity I say should I write of these things in particular my worke would neuer bee done in generall Wooll hath beene formerly in such esteeme in England that in a Parliament holden the 36. of Edward the third the King had his Subiects paide him in wooll and before that in the 11. yeere of his Raigne is was forbidden to be transported out of this Kingdome and then did Strangers come ouer hither from diuers parts beyond the Seas who were Fullers Weauers and Clothworkers whom the King entertained and bare all their charges out of his Exchequer at which time the Staples or places of marchandise for Woolls were kept at diuers places of this Land at once as at Newcastle Yorke Lincoln Canterbury Norwich Westminster Chichester Winchester Exester Bristoll and Carmarthen by which may be perceiued what a great commodity wooll was in those daies But in the 6. yeere of King Edward the fourth the King sent certaine Ships out of Cotswold in Glocester shire into Spaine the encrease of which so inriched the Spaniards with our wooll that euer since it hath bin in the lesse request in England neuer thelesse as it is it is the meanes of life and maintenance for many hundred thousands ANd now from solid Prose I will abstaine To pleasant Poetrie and mirth againe Here followeth a touch of paltry Scabbed infectious kind of Sheepe which I thinke fit to place by themselues in the lagge end of my Booke as farre as I can from the clean sound profitable Sheepe before mentioned for feare the bad should infect the good The Fable of the Golden Fleece began ' Cause Sheepe did yeeld such store of Gold to Man For he that hath great store of woolly fleeces May when he please haue store of golden peeces Thus many a poore man dying hath left a Sonne That hath transsorm'd the Fleece to Gold like Iason And heere 's a mystery profound and deepe There 's sundry sorts of Mutton are no Sheepe Lac'd Mutton which let out themselues to hire Like Hackneys who 'le be fir'd before they tire The man or men which for such Mutton hungers Are by their Corporation Mutton-mongers Which is a brotherhood so large and great That if they had a Hall I would intreat To be their Clarke or keeper of accounts To shew them vnto what their charge amounts My braines in numbring then wound grow so quicke I should be master of Arithmeticke All States Degrees and Trades both bad and good Afford some members of this Brotherhood Great therefore needs must be their multitude When euery man may to the Trade intrude It it no free dome yet these men are free Not sauers but most liberall spenders be For this is one thing that doth them bewitch That by their trading they waxe seldome rich The value of this Mutton to set foorth The flesh doth cost more than the broth is worth They all are Ewes yet are exceeding Ramish And will be dainty fed whos ' euer famish Nor are they mark'd for any man or no man As mine or thine but euery mans in common Fine heads and neckes and breasts they yeeld some storee But scarcely one good liuer in nine score The liuers being bad 't is vnderstood The veines are fild with putrified blood Which makes them subiect to the scab and then They proue most dang rous diet vnto men And then the prouerbe proues no lie or mocke One scabbed sheepe's enough to spoyle a flocke But yet for all this there is many a Gull Loues Mutton well and dips his bread i' the wooll And were a man put to his choyce to keepe 'T is said a Shrew is better then a Sheepe But if a man be yok'd with such an Ewe She may be both a scabbed Sheepe and Shrew And he that is so match'd his life may well Compared be vnto an earthly hell But to my Theame which I wrote of before I at this Mutton must haue one cut more These kinde of Sheepe haue all the world o're growne And seldome doe weare fleeces of their owne For they from sundry men their pelts can pull Whereby they keepe themselues as warme as wooll Besides in colours and in shape they varie Quite from all profitable sheepe contrarie White Blacke Greene Tawny Purple Red and Blue Beyond the Raine-bow for their change of hue Camelion like in alteration But that bare Aire they cannot liue vpon The Moones mutation's not more manifold Silke Veluet Tissue Cloth and cloth of God These are the Sheepe that Golden fleeces weare They are as soft as Silke-wormes Who robe themselues with others wooll or haire And it may be 't was such a Beast and Fleece Which Iason brought from Cholcos into Greece Were it no more but so I dare be bold To thinke this Land doth many Iasons hold Who neuer durst to passe a dang'rous waue Yet may with ease such Golden fleeces haue Too much of one thing 's good for nought they say I le therefore take this needlesse dish away For should I too much of Lac'd Mutton write I may o're come my Readers stomacke quite Once more vnto the good Sheepe I le retire And so my Booke shall to it's end expire Although it be not found in Ancient writers I finde all Muttone-aters are sheepe-biters And in some places I haue heard and seene That currish sheepe-biters haue hanged beene If any kinde of Tike should snarle or whine Or bite or woorry this poore Sheepe of mine Why let them barke and bite and spend their breath I le neuer wish them a sheepe-biters death My Sheepe will haue them know her Innocence Shall liue in spight of their maleuolence I wish them keepe themselues and me from paine And bite such Sheepe as cannot bite againe For if they snap at mine I haue a pen That like a trustie Dogge shall bite agen And in Conclusion this I humbly craue That euery one the honestie may haue That when our fraile mortalitie is past We may be the good Shepheards sheepe at last FINIS
