Wit and mirth chargeably collected out of tauernes, ordinaries, innes, bowling greenes, and allyes, alehouses, tobacco shops, highwaies, and water-passages : made vp, and fashioned into clinches, bulls, quirkes, yerkes, quips, and ierkes : apothegmatically bundled vp and garbled at the request of old Iohn Garrets ghost

A Kind of clownish gentleman had halfe a Brawne sent him against Christ∣mas, he very illiberally gaue the Seruing man halfe a shilling that brought it: the Seringman gaue the Porter that carried it eight pence before the 〈◊〉 face. 〈◊〉, said he, are you so prodigall to re∣ward the Porter with eight pence, when I giue you but sixe pence, thou bearest the mind of a prodigall Gallant, although by thy foot thou seemest 〈◊〉 clowne: Good sir, said the fellow, I confesse I haue a very clownish lubberly payre of féet, but yet I am perswaded that a payre of your worships shooes would fit them well.
Heres Bore and Brawn together are wel met
He knew that giuing was no way to get,
The world gets somwhat 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉,
When as the 〈◊〉 gets the deuill and all.
