A Seruingman going in hast in Lon∣don, (minding his 〈◊〉〈◊〉 more then his way) a Gallant iustled him from the wall almost into the kennell: the fellow turned about, and asked the Gentleman why he did tustle him so? the Gentleman said, Because he would not giue the wall to asawcy knaue. The Seruingman replyed, your worship is not of my mind, for I will.

Here Pride that takes Humility in snuffe,
Is well encountred with a couuterbuffe:
One would not giue the wall vnto a Knaue,
The other would, and him the wall he gaue.
